If you saw the FF thread itself, you'll have seen like I wanted to make a FF log based on out league. I wanted to do this because I think it'll be fun. I'll be able to act like a reporter in "real" league with intelligent other GM's. Not to mention I'm bored

. The first thing I'm gonna do is draft summaries, where I go through and kinda give my thoughts on the other teams and how they drafted. I hope to get the first one up within an hour.

I'm not sure how many people will have fun reading this (or even read it at all

) but I hope it'll be fun to write and it'll let me pretend to be a sports analyst. :mrgreen:

Also, if you ever want to see the league, you can find it right here

DRAFT FOR THE ATOMIC PICKLES (AgentP)

1: LeSean McCoy, Phi RB (McCoy is obviously a stud. But I think part of the reason he was selected was so he wouldn't go to Phillies, who would have almost certainly snatched him up. Not a bad pick though.)

12: A.J. Green, Cin WR (Don't get me wrong, I love Green. He has enormous potential, and has already established a connection with Andy Dalton. But the 2nd WR taken! That's just absurd! Granted, neither he nor any other top WR was going to be around until pick 24. But Green over players like Fitzgerald, White, (Andre) Johnson, Jennings, Welker, and Wallace? C'mon man...)

13: Cam Newton, Car QB (Newton's a fine pick, the 5th QB off the board. I'm just not sure if he's capable of getting 14 rushing TD's again, especially with the huge running back mess in Carolina.)

24: Victor Cruz, NYG WR (I'm a Pats fan, so I'm kinda biased. But you can't deny the fact that he had so many long touchdowns last season, and you question if that's repeatable. If it isn't, Cruz is a fluke player and doesn't deserve this high of a pick.)

25: Jordy Nelson, GB WR (I LOVE Nelson, plus he plays in pass-heavy Green Bay. And as long as he receives about the same amount of targets, which I think he will, he has a chance a stellar season.)

36: Jason Witten, Dal TE (Witten is a stud of a TE, although he's not quite as valuable as he was before Gronk and Graham went off. But if he can get back healthy, he's likely a top 3 or 4 TE. Maybe he was picked a little high, but that has to do with AgentP loving the Cowboys, so that's not too bad.)

37: Robert Griffin III, Wsh QB (And let the streak of confusion begin. This makes no sense at all. You already have your great QB, so why do you pick a rookie who is not only very similar, but is a rookie on a terrible Washington team. I could understand this pick near the end of the draft, but there is not a single league where RGIII deserves to be picked in the top 40.)

48: Taiwan Jones, Oak RB (Who the hell is this guy? I would assume this is a joke pick, but seriously? He's the third string running back for Oakland, and you pick him inside the top 50. I can name 30 RB's who I'd rather have. I'm just confused...)

49: 49ers D/ST (I'm pretty sure you were on auto-pick, which is why this happened. But I'll make my point clear. You should never, under any circumstances, pick a kicker or defense before the last two rounds! The top choices at those positions are only marginally better than the sixth best, that it serves no purpose to choose one early. Although, I do find it awesome that the 49ers were picked 49th.)

60: Dan Bailey, Dal K (See the comment above)

61: Peyton Hillis, KC RB (Hillis is like the Michael Bush of the AFC. He backs up an elite finesse back who's coming off an injury. Like Bush, he's already going to get most of the goal line runs, but could see more action if Charles underperforms of gets injured again. We know what Hillis can do (just look back at 2010), he just needs an opportunity.)

72: Shonn Greene, NYJ RB (Not a bad pick once you consider all the QB controversy in New York. But Greene hasn't been the same back he was a few years ago. If he can right the shift, this is a border-line steal. If not, Greene serves no purpose and is better off being released in the league.)

73: Miles Austin, Dal WR (He's had repeated hamstring problems the last two season, and he missed the entire preseason, so this pick is kinda risky. But he has huge upside, so I can't question this too much)

84: Antonio Brown, Pit WR (Brown is a great pick here. He'll likely have more looks his way as Wallace gets settled back in after missing training camp and the preseason. Not to mention Big Ben already loves him and throwing his way. He's even more valuable once you consider that he receives an extra half a point for every reception.)

85: Roy Helu, Wsh RB (If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you should never trust a Shanahan running back. He loves to mix it up, which just kills fantasy owners. Hightower being released is definitely helpful, but Helu is still way too risky.)

96: Coby Fleener, Ind T (This is a fantastic pick at the end of the draft. If Fleener and Luck can continue what they had at Stanford, then this is a complete steal. If not, you can just throw him back because you paid practically nothing for him.)

This looks pretty interesting. I'll follow.

I'm guessing you're doing phillesfan's draft next since he was the second pick?

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:22 pm

Why yes I am

I hope I can do his tonight. If not, it'll be the first thing I do tomorrow after school

AgentP · **Posted:** Tue Sep 04, 2012 5:19 pm

Greene, Austin, Brown, and Helu were auto-picks.

I'm working on getting rid of Helu.

ZeroGibson13 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 04, 2012 5:20 pm

Don't get rid of Helu. He did great on my team last year.

You're forgetting one thing: Shanahan is his coach.

Still, Helu ain't bad. Hang onto him unless you can get a good deal for him.

DRAFT FOR THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (PhilliesFan)

2: Arian Foster, Hou RB (Foster's a stud. End of story.)

11: Tom Brady, NE QB (This is an absolute steal at 11! The fact that Brady fell out of the top 10 is astounding, but the fact that he's the fourth QB taken? Great pick with great value.)

14: Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR (I am personally not a fan of Fitzgerald. He's an amazing WR, but he has the whole quarterback issue with Skelton and Kolb. If one of them can prove they have what it takes, then Fitz is bound for a great year. If not...)

23: Mike Wallace, Pit WR (I like Wallace. He's a great down-field threat. But he missed all of camp and preseason and you just know he's gonna be rusty. I don't think he'll have a bad year like Johnson did last season, but I don't expect his to quite be the same.)

26: Jimmy Graham, NO TE (Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not one to pick a TE early. But the more you think about, a stud guy like Graham is the way to go. It's the easiest way to instantly put yourself at an advantage over your opponent. As long as Brees keeps chugging along, Graham will likely continue to dominate.)

35: Hakeem Nicks, NYG WR (I'm a Pats fan. I don't feel qualified to speak on the matter at hand...)

38: Ryan Mathews, SD RB (Oh the injuries! Other than maybe McFadden, Mathews is the most injury prone back in the NFL. Heck, he's already been injured this season! I think he's a decent pick at 38, but I think the risk would out weight the reward had he been picked any higher.)

47: Michael Vick, Phi QB (You were on auto-pick so this is excusable. Vick is very dynamic though. If he avoids injury, he should be able to rack up the points because of rushing yards.)

50: Dez Bryant, Dal WR (The off the field issues are defintely concerning. But he has the talent and he was the opportunity. He just has to put the two together to be successful.)

59: Willis McGahee, Den RB (I hate McGahee this season. He's old and won't have anywhere near as many carries because Peyton is under center, not Tebow. He has bust written all over him.)

62: Tony Romo, Dal QB (Again, I know it was auto-pick. That's why you have the 3 QB's. I personally like Romo. He has the weapons, he has the skill set, and he has the toughness. If he can reduce the picks and shake that "pretty-boy" montra, he'll be good to go.)

71: Jonathan Stewart, Car RB (Ugh! I hate all the Carolina running backs, and Stewart is my least favorite of the three. He gets less carries than Williams and less goal line rushes. He's basically the "other guy" in the running game.)

74: Stevan Ridley, NE RB (The other team that you can't trust for running backs, the Patriots. They just don't run the ball. And who can blame them? They have great weapons in the passing game, so the RB's get pushed aside.)

83: Ben Tate, Hou RB (Tate is definitely a talented rusher in a rush-heavy offense. But he still loses most of his potential carries to Foster, arguably the best rusher in the league. But if Foster goes down, look for Tate to pop.)

86: Bears D/ST (Defense. Who cares?)

95: Garrett Hartley, NO K (Kicker. Who cares?)

I don't feel like doing analysis for every player, so I'm going I give overall grades for the last four teams

Pheonix Pheonix (S-Jax): A
Skittle Monsters (Me): B+
Humongous Melonheads (D-Tigers): B-
McMinnville Mashers (Anthony): C+

AnthonyP · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:41 pm

WHAT?!?!?! Why'd I get a C+? I deserve at least a B.

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:51 pm

No you don't

dishnet34 · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:56 pm

What does his roster look like?

AnthonyP · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:57 pm

Bet I'll make you eat your words in Week 4. I mean, why don't I? I got Brees, Andre Johnson, AND Adrian Peterson.

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:59 pm

One word. Injuries! You have Peterson coming off the ACL, Manning coming off the neck surgery, and Johnson, McFadden, and Gates who are all nearly regulars on the injury report

And Anthony, having Brees, Johnson, and Peterson means like nothing in a 6 team league...

AnthonyP · **Posted:** Sun Sep 09, 2012 4:07 pm

I'll still beat you...
