The only restriction is that I'd like the team names to be a place name (real or fictional) and a noun. Also, I can switch to live draft if there is an interest. BUT, if you still want to participate and can't make a live draft, the live draft for you would be done via autopick (with your pre-draft list or Yahoo!'s)-- which is the default anyway. If you need help in how to sign up for this, just let me know. And, it's free to play.

And I hope he tears a knee ligament like Bill Gramatica did after celebrating a kick.

To the Thundering Head of Turtles...POW..for taking Charles Rogers right before me. That's a steal.

To the Tarawa Jarheads.....POW...for taking Boo Williams right before me. I almost took him instead of Suggs in the 5th.

Better watch out. SeaBass may end up in his usual bar room brawl.

14 team draft. The 5th round is like the 7th round on most teams.

Which is why I'm in a bad way on runningbacks.

Hey, he's just sociable. What's wrong with that? He likes to have an occasional adult beverage and he likes women. He's a man's man! SeaBass is a hero to all little boys.

My best team is Team III's New England Rattlers, but I'm ineligible in Team III. I got Suggs in the 15th round.

1. P. Holmes
2. M. Harrison
3. C. Dillon
4. T. Henry
5. L. Coles
6. C. Rogers
7. I. Bruce
8. B. Favre
9. S. McNair
10. R. McMichael
11. T. Brady
12. D. Clark
13. Pittsburgh
14. J. Feely
15. L. Suggs

I would have liked a better DEF, but I was happy to get what I got when I drafted DEF. PIT will be healthier this season and perform more like 2002, I think. Getting Chad Scott back is huge, too. Townsend has promise, too.

To all teams from Free Republicans III, I think everybody should make their pre-season rankings of teams based on the draft.

I wasn't going to gamble on him, but I didn't have to. He was never my best WR available at points I was drafting. loveitor.. may have guessed Boston would be iffy.

He grabbed two more WRs. If Harrison stays healthy, Wayne will get lots of fantasy points. He was a better red zone catcher than Harrison last year. HillCity Angels want Stokley to go down or to just suck. That would make Wayne a perfectly legit 3WR.

Rice is old, but he can bring it at any given game. He might be just fine. Plus, he'll be able to trade for one if need be.

Why didn't you draft a TE? I know they don't make up much of the point total, but at least put a scrub there! Just drop one of your players and grab one from the free agent pool, or see if you can trade for one.

The problem with trading is that TE are kind of hit or miss and you might really be giving up a lot for a TE flop. Clark and Pollard are Top 15 TEs and they weren't even drafted.

You got Dillon with your third pick? I would have picked him or second or even first.

I have a very hit or miss team here. Everyone picked runningbacks early as expected and with the 2nd last pick, I felt like I needed to get a top level QB and WR instead of the number 9 RB, so I picked Culpepper and Moss.

I had to go with an RB at 3 and Garner was the best one availble. Steve Smith is a playmaker so I got him next(Cost me Charles Rogers though).

5. Lee Suggs - I planned on picking Kevin Jones or Duce Staley here if they were around. My main concern here is if he starts or not. If Green's the starter, I'm screwed. I had only one back so far so I needed one in the worst way.

With a 14 team draft, I felt I had to take a few more chances.

My four major questionmarks are Larry Fitzgerald and Reggie Williams at WR, Tatum Bell at RB, and the Lions Defense (and new secondary) which was my last pick. All high risk, high reward. If either Fitzgerald or Williams gave a great year, it could help take pressure off my RB situation(RB's were drained earlier than even I expected). Bell's trouble is will he start? The Lions D (My last pick) has a new secondary and I think will surprise people.

Any problem with signing up in #5 if I'm already in #2? I was considering checking tomorrow afternoon and seeing if its full.

Marcel Shipp dislocated an ankle (figures Bill Bidwell would have his team practicing on artificial turf) and is out for at least a couple months as well.

As long as he makes it past Vinatieri's bye week (3) without getting injured or suspended. >:)

Tatum Bell at RB

Shanahan has good luck at drafting RBs, he could be the next Portis. He's worth the gamble. I picked Bell in the 14th round and Garrison Hearst in the 15th just in case.

So Shipp got a broken rudder. I wonder if it was Denny Green's idea for practicing on the fake stuff?
