Although I'm willing to concede that point since you can't expect a significant parallel between your predraft rankings, and actual picks, with the autodraft.

Depending on how you define "poorly", it's not that I want to make things easier. It's that I want to give them a fighting chance. The game should not come down to one player, it should come down to the entire team. If the entire team can't perform, there's nothing to be done about that. But say you have a QB on a relatively bad day (Manning, anyone?) that scores twice as much as every other player on their good days. If the opponent doesn't have a QB (or any other player, for that matter) that can compete with that, then it's over, even if he scores more in every other category. It's my goal to make the scoring so that the person who's team takes more categories has a better chance of winning than a person who's team has one outstanding player (or DEF, depending on the team) accounting for half their score.

Though I do agree that my scoring system needs some work, I'm just letting you know my plan for it.

If I were you folks in Eddie's league you'd better pre rank your defensive players. Once again Yahoo has done an absolutely crappy job ranking defensive players (Terrence McGee is the top rated defensive player? Only if his kickoff returns count). Just to be fair ( I pre ranked mine).

Just put in a "pleacebo" team to give to someone later.
Don't boot anyone.

Eddie, when is your draft going to be?

[EddieMcD]

I made a rather large Commissioner's Note covering a lot of stuff. Anyhow, the latest date for the draft is the 28th, but I'd like to get it done by the 20th.
