You win the league on draft day

Well I drafted Josh Freeman,Chris Johnson,Ryan Matthews, Andre Johnson, Jahvid Best, Reggie Wayne and Larry Fitzgerald..but Cam Newton who I picked up is carrying me to a 5-3 season so

False.

In a good league it'll take more than a good draft unless you get really lucky.

I don't think you can win on draft day, but you can lose.

I could not make the draft and couldnt do it online or anything, so the league was forced to make my picks. My team was fricking terrible since week 1. And by week 3 I knew the season was a complete bust no matter what I did.

:karma:

Drafted P Manning, MJD, Welker, Jennings, Witten, P Thomas, Starks, M. Williams(Bucs)

Picked up Cam, Colston was dropped after his 4-6wk injury prognosis, J. Hanson(kicker) is averaging like 9-10pts a game, Hey-Bey has been great coming off bench.

6-1 (#1 in division 2nd in league scoring) but about t lose to number 1 in other league. Have to see if I am number 2 based on 6-1 player right behind me.

Last year I won the league and didnt do so great on draft day like drafting Ryan Grant Johnny knox and such.

Exactly.

I got autodrafted in an 18 team league and have built my way to a 6-2 record. Granted, I landed Megatron and Jimmy Graham so it was not a total loss. It's not a terribly competitive league, so it would not have been as easy to grab players if half my league didn't know what they were doing/zombies. I have other leagues, but this one has certainly been the most interesting.

The point is that you can build a decent team and trade to make something out of nothing. If I didn't luck into a couple of those players though, it would have been nasty. The draft is the foundation, it's not the house.

Cam newton was drafted in my league. So having a winning record was not going to be done by picking up free agents, no way.

I didnt have the players to lead to a decent trade. I'm 0-8 btw. Get blown out almost every week besides 2. By far the low scoring team in the league.

And the frickers in the league act like it's my fault. Maybe, MAYBE i could have won 2 games if I had been more proactive as a manager, but like i said. After week 3, i wrote the season off as a loss.

I ACCIDENTALLY didnt start a qb this week because i forgot about it.

Forgive me for not running to set my lineup when i'm 0-7.

I agree it's a bitch move. It was an honest mistake, and I still would have lost.

I disagree. I'm in a 14 team league where, after 13 trades and numerous acquisitions, I've managed to get Peterson, Fred Jackson, and Matt Forte. This is proof that anything can happen because I'm definitely liking my chances now
