My first draft has begun today...32 team league with me drafting 31st...it's an email draft, so i have a while to wait....

Whoa! 32 teams. One mistake in the first 4-5 rounds, and you will be toast!

Hell, one injury in training camp and you are toast. That's awfully early to be drafting.

it takes about 1 month to draft, so this is normal...and yes...Dallas Clark in round 2 last year =

as well as Kolb

I just don't see how playing in a league like that can be any fun. Do you have small rosters and starting line-ups, like 1 RB and 1 WR?

So basically, everyone in the league has a true #2 back-up, clip board carrying QB, and not one that can readily play? What do you do on bye weeks?

You start:
1
Total Starters: 15
Number of Starting QBs:1
Number of Starting RBs: 1
Number of Starting WRs: 2-3 - if you start 2, you have to start 2 TEs
Number of Starting TEs: 1-2
Number of Starting TMPKs: 1
Number of Starting DT+DEs: 2-3 - if you start 2, you have to start 3 CBs
Number of Starting LBs: 3
Number of Starting CB+Ss: 2-3

On the 23rd round, you can draft your backup QB...no one can draft 2 QBs to hoard. You can only pickup another QB in FA...so, basically, you want to pick the same BYE week for everyone if you can...you're going to throw away 1 week...other than that, it's pretty competitive...

32 is crazy.

Here's top hoping Cam Newton doesn't hit a sophomore slump. I got him as an un-drafted waiver wire guy in my IDP Keeper league. He costs me a last round pick this year.

So who are your top 5 RBs this year? Mine are Foster, Rice, McCoy, McFadden and MJD. But I see a lot of value in the 5-15 spots. I like guys like Demarco Murry, Trent Richardson, Jamaal Charles, Fred Jackson, Isaac Redman.

So, in the 32 team league, i took Demaryius Thomas at #31...here's to hoping Manning gives him a breakout season...he's in his 3rd year and that's the big one for WRs...

In order...McCoy, Rice, Foster, Mathews & Peterson (Unless something comes out more about him starting on the PUP list)

How could this not be fun?! Sounds like a blast!

Love Thomas this year, but at #31?? Wouldn't it be wiser to take one of the top 20 QBs or top 15 RBs??
