Apparently the auto-draft function doesn't really factor injuries, I am starting the season with 7 injured players.

Apparently the auto-draft function doesn't really factor injuries, I am starting the season with 7 injured players.
Whoops, completely forgot about the draft... thanks ESPN auto-pick algorithm for the "interesting" selections.
Really, I'm actually quite happy with most of my higher picks:
Frank Gore
Arian Foster
Greg Jennings
Dez Bryant
Erick Decker
Gronk
I can't really complain about depth... for Quarterback. Everywhere else? I'm screwed.
Seriously, thanks ESPN auto-pick algorithm... your programmers couldn't have added a simple if-then clause for making certain picks?
if (num_QB > 2):
# DON'T PICK ANOTHER ****ING QB
else:
# PICK ANYTHING... I MEAN, ANYTHING... ELSE
With that said, I guess that's what I get for forgetting the draft... and if someone wants to trade a backup RB and/or WR for any of the following... just let me know:
Matt Schaub
Josh Freeman
Alex Smith

Ya why don't they show injuries when drafting players.Apparently the auto-draft function doesn't really factor injuries, I am starting the season with 7 injured players.
I think my squad is okay. There are two players I would have liked who went a little too early for me to snaffle, but that aside no complaints really.
We'll just have to see how many get through the brutal pre-season I've got lined up unscathed...

You could set things up though so that you could determine which positions were picked in which rounds, and also manually rank the players in your own order of preference.
I hadn't bothered to set those preferences because I had planned to make my own picks... but then completely forgot about the draft. Next time, I'll set some of those preferences -just in case-.
I know that the one time I don't bother with them will be the time that I'm called out somewhere or my internet connection falls over.I hadn't bothered to set those preferences because I had planned to make my own picks... but then completely forgot about the draft.

Weird, I don't think it saved my auto draft changes. I'm a bit thin/crappy at WR as well, in case anyone is in a trade-y mood.
Yeah, having the Niners DEF must be comforting. Really hoping the Eagles DEF can put last year's crap behind them and play like they should. I'm happy with the pick, although I'm jealous Mo got the Texans.
WRs are tough for me to call outside of the super elite guys. We'll see. It's a mixed bag for sure, but I'm going to wait before I make any moves. The one (and only) thing I learned playing FF basketball is not to get move happy and be patient.
Also, sorry, but Gronkowski > Graham.

Overall player, Graham is better, but Gronk was a scoring machine last year. The only issue I would have with him is that Hernandez is a hell of a TE as well, and I expect bigger things from him this year. As a Dolphins fan, I had the double heartbreak when they passed over both Graham and Gronk, when they needed a TE at the time. Damn shame.
I picked up Hernandez. He absolutely shredded the Broncos defense last year here in Denver.
I was going to go with Hernandez in one of the rounds, but I only need an additional TE for one week, as long as Graham stays healthy, so Im happy with Fred Davis. I really like Hernandez though, I think he is going to put up big numbers this year.
Agree to disagree on that one, conceding I may be biased about Gronkowski.
And that draft class was crazy for TEs. Pleased the Patriots managed to snag 2 of the best.

I'm willing to trade Santonio Holmes - It's not like they can go the entire season without scoring a touchdown.
Right?
Meanwhile, turns out one of my tight ends doesn't have a spleen.
You don't need a fully working spleen to be a football type, do you?

Go on then, if we're all getting them out and flashing them around...
I think I've done reasonably well at Running Back, Quarter Back isn't massively exciting but should be solid, Tight Ends seem okay. I think it's Wide Receiver where I'm at my weakest though. I might have to look to strengthen there, as well as be on the lookout for any spare spleens that become available.

I'm not sure why I'm helping since you ignored my advice about taking Tim Tebow....but Rackers was just released by the Skins (Gano won the job), so you may want to look for another K.
And spleens? Way overrated.
Heh I was just reading that as it happens.I'm not sure why I'm helping since you ignored my advice about taking Tim Tebow....but Rackers was just released by the Skins (Gano won the job), so you may want to look for another K.
I'll send the scouts out to get another kicker, and pleasingly it looks like Rackers' spleen is now available. I'll instruct Matron to prepare him and Witten for theatre immediately.
