That's what I was thinking when I drafted him: Trade bait. I was gonna wait to see if Witten or Cameron was going to be better and trade the other. No one trades in public leagues. And they really won't trade for a TE that isn't graham or gronk. There was a lot of people active. They talked more than other leagues, and I know for certain one guy who wants Cameron.

Martin is a gamble as a RB2. Who was still on the board here? Morris IS NOT a steal in the 4th round. I would have picked up a higher WR here. I like Allen--but you've got TWO #2 iffys now. Remember last year--- was LAST YEAR. You're drafting for THIS YEAR now. (Although granted-- it's still too early to know for sure, so a known commodity always wins. Which is why I wouldn't do a real or mock draft before camp starts.) Montee Ball and Reggie Bush were the next RBs taken after Martin. Maybe I could have gone with another WR rather than Morris as Fitz, V-Jax, Welker, and Cordarrelle Patterson were the next 4 taken after my pick, but RBs ARE a premium.

I think Morris was a steal in the 4th - and still a 'good value' in mid 3rd in a 10 team standard. Martin is a gamble mid-2nd, but if he stays healthy, he should come up big. He doesn't have any history of 'injury-prone', so I think it's a good pick. Yes, RBs are always at a premium. Somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 teams that employ a bellcow, Maybe another 4 or 5 that employ a 2:1 or 2/3rds aka Reggie Bush, Ryan Mathews, Steven Jackson come to mind. And a lot of RB trades/moves this year whose roles are still questionable - Moreno, Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson off an injury, Pierre Thomas with Sproles gone, Rashad Jennings, MJD. Then you have your rookies in the mix. It's endless. But ya gotta start 2, so I'll reach for a RB before a WR. Early drafts are iffy, but all are at the same disadvantage.

Can't believe you passed up Montee Ball for Martin. Morris was a good choice in the 4th. He'll give solid production.

I was 6th. Of course, there was this guy who was a complete idiot with his Drafting. He took Cam Newton in the 1st, Tre Mason in the 2nd, Roddy White in the 3rd I think, then took the Seahawks Defense and a Kicker (he ended up with 3 kickers on his team). He also took Teddy Bridgewater as his backup QB before he had a Flex. So @eddiej2010 is in your league then. (wheres the couch smiley?) getting close to football. The smack talk is heating up Baaa to the muther lovin haaa! Yeah man. I had a messed up drafting experience last season. Waited too long to make a pick, and computer made an auto pick for me. When it auto picks for you, it doesn't take into account any of your previous picks, or your positions of need. Thus how my 2nd TE became a member of my team. It also put's you into auto draft mode for your next pick as well, unless you un-check the auto draft box. I learned that the hard way, in the very next round, my next auto pick. Picked my 2nd defense for me, lol. Bottom line, I ended up drafting 3 TE's & 3 Defenses.

That's funny. And I always drink and draft, but very lightly. That's why I'm glad my drafts usually start mid-afternoon. haha

I don't get why people think Ball is going to be this Fantasy superstar this year, even though the Broncos run a primarily Passing Offense. They did that with Ryan Matthews every year and look how he turned out. I don't like when they say these guys who have barely played are all of a sudden going to be Amazing and worth a 1st or 2nd Round Pick. Its stupid.

Ball has even more talent.
