I had someone ask about that earlier. If someone else wants to get it going, that's fine.

If there is one that does not show up by August 20, I will be forced to find a new league for Soldiers of Seth

Good draft guys. I'm in some big money leagues and kinda like using this as a free/fun league. Curious to your strategies a lot of QBs early, some backup QBs early many taken several round before they usually go.

great draft guys
I knew there was gonna be a massive RB run between by 2nd and 3rd pick so I felt I was forced to take 2 right away

If my laptop hadn't turned heel on me I wouldn't have had to autopick the first three picks, and I still ain't happy with those.

Good draft guys. I'm in some big money leagues and kinda like using this as a free/fun league. Curious to your strategies a lot of QBs early, some backup QBs early many taken several round before they usually go. Me and Groose were in the Discord together. We were stunned too (I STILL can't believe I got my #2 overall player Antonio Brown at #6), but then we knew we were reaching when we got ours. Groose got killed last year by being weak at QB, and I honestly believe I'd have been undefeated had I had a QB better than Bortles. So when that happened, Groose went with Matt Ryan in round 2 in fear other people would start reaching too in response and he'd have the same problem. I'm perfectly happy with where I got Russell Wilson, and was fine with Tyrod Taylor as a backup (though I DID botch by failing to notice they both share a bye week, so week 6...against Groose of all people...I'll likely be taking a dive). Alot of us in the call questioned that and Groose getting Bradford, but, barring injury, he's likely playing Bradford on Ryan's bye and playing Ryan all year. I did legit begin to wonder if I'd somehow set the scoring way too high, but it looks fine by my account (the only difference being rewarding a few more points to defenses, since the avg. PPG by each team is typically pretty high in this day and age, and keeping it at the normal # would make even the elite defenses almost worthless). If I did botch somewhere, someone call me out on it.

Well, I just made off with a damn robbery in the draft that I did after this as I was able to pick up with my first three picks Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Rob Gronkowski

What's the point of having the top two QBs on one team? You'll have one of your top two picks sitting on the bench every week.

And considering how Fantasy Football usually works it means you'll probably win the whole thing.

One league I was in for a few years required starting TWO quarterbacks. The league was 12 teams. Do the math, 12 x (2 + 1) (for the bye week backup) = 36. The NFL only sees 32 starting QBs at one time, so some backups were actual backups. For that league, QBs were almost required to go early.

Even then they should reduce qb stats for yards and passing TDs. Otherwise you just spend the first couple rounds drafting QBs
