I appreciate all of the kind words guys. I'll keep posting it every year as long as you guys want it

I have the 1.07 in this league. TBH I had hoped to have sold off the pick by now, as this is one of the least interesting drafts I have seen in years. However I havent had the time to send many offers and there has been limited interest in the pick. I guess most feel like I do that 2023 is a meh year - a trend I've found in most of my leagues - limited interest in buying 2023 picks (except at bargain basement prices) and lots of focus on trying to get 2024/25 pcks.

As usual I expect to take BPA regardless of position. No clue who that will be but I'll hold my nose and take whatever JAG falls to 1.07.

London Fog, here!

i'll start by saying i'm only in this league because of having read this thread year after year. the interest, approach and involvement were all captivating...so this specific thread will always have a place near my heart and hopefully our participation gives back to the point where it piques a similar reaction in someone else at some point.

for my part, i took over a rebuild with no picks (not my finest hour), anchored at WR, QB and then pounced on RB when i thought the moment was right. i was wrong. the moment was not right...and i've been languishing in 'just barely made/just barely missed the playoffs' for a few years too many. the surest sign of a poorly managed team. i made my first serous moves to address this last draft, trading 2023 capital to acquire Chris Olave and Treylon Burks.

highlights/lowlights:

QB
-Mahomes
-Dak

RB
-...cricket...cricket (well, sort...Damien Harris anyway)

WR
-Treylon Burks
-Mike Evans
-DJ Moore
-Chris Olave
-Calvin Ridley

TE
-Gerald Everett
-Irv Smith

on the one hand i'm out of the first 2 rounds of 2023...but..BUT i managed to fight all my inherent tendencies to trade away 2024 picks so am fully armed there.

love this draft!

ETA picks:
-3.03
-4.01, 4.02, 4.03
-5.03
-6.03
-7.03

I figure the top 3 picks are locked in (in 1 QB). The fun really starts at 4

AAAAAAAAnd we're off

[MARKinMI]

Well, the top 3 went as expected. Now is when the fun starts

Went with jesus at 1.1 and a Bama rb at 1.3 ... rb/rb with my early picks isnt ideal but BPA rules. With the state of my rebuild i can't afford to get cute.

after finishing 13th I'm glad I've been able to rebuild off of WRs the last 2 years. It should give me a bigger window to finally get competitive. RB is a need for me but I'd probably just be wasting their early prime in a rebuild.

I swear, I watch this draft more than my own drafts, lol.

This isn’t TEP by the looks of it? A little surprised to see Kincaid go already. Will be monitoring, thanks for sharing your draft!

[MARKinMI]

nope, no exotic scoring just normal old PPR
