Will keep all comments pretty short since I draft on Sunday. Rankings are approximate at best.

1. CE Tiger - best trio of backs. Really like all his starters. Good value on Cam, Welker, and Witten. Night and day from last season.

2. Gyno - love the WR talent and value. Green and Julio for a combined $82 are looking sweet when they were only the sixth and seventh priciest WR. Interesting how no one followed Gyno's $20 bid on Stafford. Value all around on this squad.

3. Papps - only $25 combined on starting backs looks like something I could do, but Papps needs to hit on a RB even with Manning, Calvin, Andre, and Roddy.

4. Tthomas - I do not get why Cutler is being hyped this year. Brown was crazy expensive and shows why you cannot always hold money. Gore is the best bench player in the league. I would assume Thomas makes a deal.

5. MattV - Ball, DT88, and Graham could be the best trio in the league. It will be interesting to see if Torrey and TWill catch enough balls in a PPR to be worth the price. They certainly have the upside.

6. Swamie - really like the value on Julius. $10 seems like a lot to spend on your WR4. I like the WR core. Pretty close to Darryl for the rankings, but I will give you edge due to the WR gap.

7. Darryl - went a little RB heavy for me as well as having a pretty expensive bench in comparison. Overall, I like how the team came together. Top 1-2 RB punch in the league. TY was not cheap though. Same cost as Andre Johnson.

8. Knat - obviously wanted Dez. Two high upside tight ends. His top two backs could catch tons of passes. If Woodhead gets almost the same amount of work in San Diego, then that could be an absolute steal.

9. Boom - some overpays and some good values. Alshon was a steal. I guess Boom got lucky he was nominated so early. I really like some of the bench guys, but I will not get too specific.

10. LSUAlum - those receivers are playing with fire. I think Gerhart will be a reliable back, but I did not expect him to cost $25. Obviously, Alum will stop coaching youth football and start doing pro bono work for Gordon's appeal.

11. Cwill - never a fan of leaving $6 on the table. A whole lot of money tied up in two wideouts who missed a lot of 2013. Ryan at $8 is nice. Ryan Mathews is a good price for a guy who should be a top 20 back.

12. Dan - you seem like are a very knowledgeable sports fan. Not sure what happened. You really need everyone to hit, but anything can happen if you can sneak in the playoffs.

He could've immediately regretted the $12 price. We have all had instant regrets before. It only took me a second to realize I threw Rudolph put for too much

The whole $2 nomination excuse clearly shows he was nominating pitta with the intent on trying to get him.

I'm not fighting any battle here, it cannot be changed anyway. I've always been a stickler for shite like this in any draft or league I'm in. It just needs to be known that it is a bullshite move and something should be done in the future to prevent it from happening again.

In all honesty I wanted Rudolph more and thought 10 was a good price for him. 10 dollars was my breaking point for him though. Would have went 9-10 on Rudolph but 11 was too much for me.

Pitta is ranked higher than Witten on most lists, but to each his own I guess.

Looks like Gyno and I had the same strategy and he executed his better. I wanted 2 $40+ WR, when the price for Brown got too high I had to adjust and I really liked all 3 of Crabtree, Allen an Wright. Julius was a nice consolation prize for missing out on a second top tier WR.

Did you or anyone else think nominating Rudolph for $10 was a mistake? Of course not

Pitta is a viable top 10 option at TE. $12 is not crazy. $22, $32 sure. Mistake or not, Thomas should have to eat that $10. It should not have to get to the point where we are at now.

We all get bidding or nomination or buyers remorse. It sets a bad precedent allowing people to go back when they have an "error". Anyone can make up a BS story in order to get a do over. Too many people execute flawless drafts... Idk.. It happens every year in all of my leagues, I'm just skeptical and tired of seeing it

I will leave it at that.

Everywhere I've seen has Pitta going for 6-8 dollars. $2 is a steal.

Majority wanted it fixed so it was the right decision.

It's definitely a grey area though. I'm for pausing and redoing any errors due to Internet or system issues, not human error. You have 30 seconds to nominate and check your nomination.

I'm surprised only gyno had issues with it. How many times did someone instantly regret clicking bid last night?

I need to, but I don't like Steven Jackson at all... And I don't think you're coming off of Reggie or McCoy
