HFBoards' 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Discussion Thread

[Vasilevskiy]

I would think one guy who won't last for a while would interest you.

Might be the same guy I'm hoping to get

There's some really great players still around. So there's a number of guys who come off the board shortly, who you could legitimately argue are steals 80+ picks in.

Very true, but also there have been very few picks so far that I'd unambiguously label as reaches.

 

[les Habs]

Some reaches, but I think there's been more questionable decision making.

 

[Gecklund]

Some reaches, but I think there's been more questionable decision making.

There’s been some reached but very few huge reaches. Does that make sense?

 

[les Habs]

Yeah, I agree, but still some odd choices. I'm going to start reaching and making @cgf picks.

 

[Gecklund]

Yeah, I agree, but still some odd choices. I'm going to start reaching and making @cgf picks.

I think I’ve been making those kind of picks all draft so

 

[cgf]

cgf-picks are always the picks that stand the test of time best. It's un-cgf picks that are more likely to look silly in hindsight.

And who have I "reached" on in this draft? I haven't even made a cgf-style 'quality over perceived draft value' pick in this draft...yet. I even resisted taking the GOAT, when I settled for the croatian Netzer-knockoff with my 1st instead :-|

 

[Evilo]

Haha, an OM player and you want my vote???
Nah seriously, he had an amazing season, but his Newcastle stay will probably determine what most of this board will think of him.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

@Duchene2MacKinnon knows my player in case @les Habs doesn't pick soon

 

[Savant]

@Duchene2MacKinnon knows my player in case @les Habs doesn't pick soon

I hope you gave him 2 just in case

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I hope you gave him 2 just in case

He didn't lool

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I'm interested in trading down a bit #88. Any offers I will answer when I wake up

 

[les Habs]

Sorry lads, phone died earlier and I was traveling.

#89 is available and I can answer any offers all night long baby!

 

[les Habs]

Sanchez pick is the one that's given me the most pause so far. I like him and rate him in a draft scenario and in one case even in real life ahead of some of the other guys taken ahead of him.

I was largely joking. I wasn't referring to you reaching in this draft at all. That'll be your next pick.

 

[YNWA14]

As much as I love the players I traded up for I hate spending so much time between draft picks.

 

[Elliman]

Man I wish I couldn’t gotten in on this. Looks fun.

 

[YNWA14]

We do it every year; you'll get your chance.

I also think we should try to get a PL fantasy draft league going.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Really surprised that Dele lasted so long.

I know he's British and all that, so he gets an overrated rep, but his stats last season were actually very good.

 

[cgf]

I see you @Vasilevskiy

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I see you @Vasilevskiy

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I'm peeved with the Kimmich pick, I thought people were gonna keep sleeping on him because of his poor World Cup. He woulda looked nice as the silky DM anchoring a diamond with Koke, Eriksen, and Rakitic.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

@Theon should be on the clock in less than half an hour.

 

[les Habs]

@Theon should be on the clock in less than half an hour.

He's on the clock now and has been PMed.

 

[les Habs]

I know this was the case earlier in the season and I think it still is, but no other LB in the big five leagues has more assists than Jordi Alba in something like the last five seasons.
