Not really sure why people give a damn about what they did in a pointless mock draft and why they want it to be rated

Here's my actual real life draft I did last weekend. It's a 12 team auction league. $200 salary and PPR scoring. This was my first ever auction draft that I've ever been a part of.

QB: Phillip Rivers - $5
RB: Montee Ball - $45
RB: Andre Ellington - $27
WR: Dez Bryant - $40
WR: Julio Jones - $32
TE: Eric Ebron - $8
Flex: Randall Cobb - $30
D/ST: Saints - $1
K: Blair Walsh - $1

BE: C.J. Anderson - $1
BE: Josh McCown - $1
BE: Roy Helu - $1
BE: Stephen Jackson - $3
BE: Delaine Walker - $1
BE: Lance Dunbar - $1
BE: James Jones - $1
BE: Cody Latimer - $1

I know I over payed for Ball, but all of the the other elite rbs were gone so I wanted to make sure I got a solid rb1 in my lineup. I got screwed with Eric Ebron and tried to increase the bet when I thought someone was going after him hard... It could pay off for me, but we'll see. Thinking about dropping James Jones for possibly Montavis Bryant or Da'rick Rogers.

Thanks for the input

It was either him or Russel Wilson....

I bid a $1 for him but some arse clown kept raising it. Just wanted to make sure I got a manageable qb for my team.

That's what this league is... 6 points for passing tds.

I know I overpayed for Montee Ball but the price kept getting higher and I needed a possible breakout rb as my starter. His value on the ESPN PPR auction value sheet was $38

If Josh McCown does what he did in Chicago I could have a decent starter in him. Mike Evans and VJax are some big targets to throw the ball up to

good job with your WR's

yeah, that happens to me at least once ever year during our draft.

my main league is an auction draft and we all know each other real well so we kind of mess with each other a lot.

backfires more than you would think.

Ebron is getting really shitty reviews in camp so far. Delanie is not terrible but you may want to try and find a value TE on waivers

I posted a few of my players I drafted in your thread I think? I didn't post my whole roster and say "rate my team" or anything like that

So no

This is a true stars and scrubs line up. I think u killed it if that's what you were going for. I don't think U over paid for anyone really, it's just roster construction. I like TE team. You need to keep both eyes on the waiver wire though for depth.

Wasn't really sure what I was going for with this being my first auction draft. I read some article saying to throw all of your money on your starting lineup.... It makes sense. I think I have one of the strongest teams on paper in this league

I'm usually pretty good about waivers. I won one of my league last year bc I picked up Zac Stacy and Keenan Allen before they were even on anyone's radar. I expect to only have 3 or 4 or those drafted bench players on my roster by week 4

I've done close to a dozen auctions and would be thrilled with the team. You just will have to add depth through waivers. Cool thing about auctions are if S Jax has a good week one you have three good RBs and three very good WRs. Your not totally bare with depth. Once again, good job sir.
I have a 16 teamed coming up I will post once we draft. My first 16 team auction.

Damn, 16 is a lot. Really gotta know your stuff for that.

My other league is a 14 team snake draft, so I could only imagine what adding 2 more rosters would do. Definitely have to do well in late rounds/waivers to win in a 16 team

Someone just dropped Antonio Gates so I put my waiver claim in for him as a safety valve.

I also like Austin Serarian-Jenkins at TB. I just want to hear more about him from camp and pre season before I add him

I was just asking because the team looked familiar.
