    Haven't checked yet today, so this could be an ill-advised question, but any idea when NFL.com leagues post their draft order? Another league I'm in (on Yahoo), had the order a couple of weeks ago.

    It looks like computer auto draft for me. I have other commitments this evening. Hopefully nfl.com's player rankings are up to date with respect to injuries.

    I got an A draft grade, so I'm surely doomed.

    I was all set at 3 to draft knowing I had two hours to kill be for it happened, then life got in the way, made dinner, bathed the kids, sat down with the wife and had some quiet together time and noticed an add for draft kings and went oh crap I missed the draft. Needless to say the team isn't too bad but just knowing that Luck was sitting there in the first and I missed out just chaps my backside. So I will entertain any trade offers my team isn't stocked with talent but I am willing to wheel and deal

    Funny.... the computer drafted for me, and the computer projects me at 3-10. I don't know that I've ever seen a computer second guess itself before.

    You got the one self-loathing, second guessing computer out there. :lolol:

    It's funny. I felt really good about my draft for league 1 and just so-so about my draft for league 2.

    So, of course, the computer gave me a B for league 1 with a predicted 6-7 record...

    And a "world dominating" A for league 2 with a predicted record of 11-2. :shrug:

    Apologies for my absence last night but I ended up acquiring tickets for acdc at the last minute.

    Not terribly happy with the outcome, but like any great manager I will make the best with what I've been given. That and a lot of pick ups and trades.

    Hey, if you get a chance to see AC/DC. you go. ;) No apology necessary.

    Just looked at your team. Maybe you're a more astute fantasy player than I am, but I really don't see a huge glaring weakness. Yeah, your RB depth isn't the best, and you could afford to upgrade 1-2 WRs, but otherwise you're solid.

    Definitely where there is a lack of great top tier RBS, that is a priority. I see I had the last pick anyways so most of the top shelf talent was gone anyways. Getting the top 2 TEs is interesting just not sure how practical it will be. Definitely for an auto draft there are pieces to work with.

    I saw acdc 6 years ago in front of 70,000 people. Last night's show was probably 50,000. Still a great show. Those guys may be pushing 70 but they can still rock out with the best of them. Angus Young is beyond incredible.

    Hmmm, in the second league I got a grade of B+, with a projected record of 8-5, and projected to finish 3rd.
    In the first league, I got a grade of A-, with a projected record of 9-4, and projected to finish 2nd.

    But, this is the computer talking, so who the hell knows. :dancing:

    yahoo pretty much crucified my draft, but they did the same thing last yr. and I went 11 - 2
    nfl.com was even harder on me... they were last yr. too and I won the whole thing
    go figure
