What the
heck is this team. 7 QB’s. I guess there will be lots of trade possibilities.
One of the main reasons I gave up Fantasy Football.......freaking autopick.
Unfortunately the guys I work with are mostly shift workers and we could never arrange a proper draft. Too bad, as it would have been a great party.
There are a few teams with multiple kickers...lol...
I’m not sure which is worse….

LoL! Thats why I bailed on it, I only usually go for live draft leagues. To me half the fun is the draft.

I should add, that even if you have some people missing it usually evens it out for the autopickers to have a live draft too

it was a live draft. Just a few missed the draft.

That Harvin pick was just a straight up gamble though.

Blame autodrafting for giving me FOUR kickers. Anyone want one?
QB: Favre
RB: CJ2K
RB Shonne Greene
RB: Beannie Wells
RB: McGahee
RB: Hardesty
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Sydney Rice
WR: Steve Breaston
K Matt Bryant
K Dan Carpenter
K Mason Corsby
K Ryan Sccoup
Seriously, Anyone need kicker or a backup rb for that matter?
The beginning of the end of the misery
talk to me when Vinatieri is close to his bye week

Well I did a few mock drafts
and saw that the computer would autopick player at the top. Reguardless of thier position. Let’s just say. I took that into account for the people who were MIA last night.

This is why CBS Fantasy SUCKS!
I am in 3 Yahoo leagues this year. In 2 of them we did a live on-line draft, and in both of those drafts people were missing. BUT NO-ONE got screwed like this.
How can they run the auto-pick regardless of position, that’s Bush League…
LoL Nice, Bush League, Is there a team called the Flint Tropics in there? :)

i'm actually pretty happy with my team
I drafted 9th overall, here’s my roster:
Aaron Rodgers
Kevin Kolb®
Ahmad Bradshaw
Cedric Benson
Bernard Scott®
Donald Brown®
Kareem Huggins®
Ricky Williams®
Miles Austin
Steve Smith (Car)
Dwayne Bowe
Bernard Berrian®
Jeremy Maclin®
Brent Celek
Rob Bironas
Bengals
the league autopicked my first two rounds cause I was stuck in traffic, but it gave me aaron rodgers (exactly who i was targeting in round 1, considering TDs are worth 6pts) and Cedric Benson (a little bitter about this, since Steven Jackson was still on the board). My RB depth is a little weak, but I’m super pumped about my WRs (Austin, Steve Smith, Bowe, and Maclin should be an awesome corps).
fyi
The ® means they’re on my bench. This is what happens when I copy and paste from the website.
Lol I was wondering why you trademarked your players.

LOL...My autopick is hilarious
QB: Jay Cutler (Boo!)
RB: Frank Gore, Knowshon Moreno
WR: Calvin Johnson (Awesome), Randy Moss, Greg Jennings (Very awesome)
TE: Jeremichael Finley
K: David Akers
D: Cowboys
Now, the fun part..my reserves:
Jerricho Cotchery, Malcolm Floyd, Johnny Knox, Santana Moss, Legedu Naanee, Nate Washington, Mike Williams….all WR’s
Anyone need a receiver?

"We lost!" Delmas yelled at reporters. "What you want? What you got to ask me?"
Delmas stared at reporters defiantly.
"That’s what I thought,"
2/3 of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Eric Berry.
Projections..........
Just for fun, I totaled the projected season points for the players in the default starting lineups for each team (except for Nate’s and CLF’s, where I had to make obvious substitutions to improve their scores substantially). Here are the results:
Bennie Blades Fan 1539.5
Lions XLV (Latif) 1531
Grand Rapids Lions (GRLion) 1528
Hyperion’s Mane Men (Hyperion Ecta) 1502
Seagull Shark (I am Gross) 1488
NDominators (SGDBW90) 1487.5
You Pet it, it Grew (DrewsLions) 1483.5
Stafford tosses the Best Johnson (CLF) 1474
Better Than Mayhew (Sean Yuille) 1461.5
5 Mile Flex (JCruize) 1394.5
Motown Madmen (Jettero2112) 1388
Half Baked (Nate) 1387
Looks surprisingly competitive. It should be a great season. Your milage may vary.
Good luck, all!

Sounds like you had fun...
Too bad I didn’t get onto the site sooner, I would have joined your league. I did get into the MLive league and did pretty well in my draft.
Aaron Rodgers – QB
Greg Jennings – WR
Steve Smith (NYG) – WR
Ray Rice – RB
Jahvid Best – RB
Zach Miller – TE
Marion Barber – FLEX
Ryan Longwell – K
Philadelphia – DEF
Barrett Ruud – D
Kirk Morrison – D
My bench is:
Mike Williams (MIA) – WR
Chad Ochocinco – WR
Dwayne Bowe – WR
T.J. Houshmandzadeh – WR
Steve Breaston – WR
Ricky Williams – RB
Chad Henne – QB
I think that I will make a good showing in the MLive league
