I knew I was getting a nice rotation of backs that played on teams who had underrated success running the ball. More so with Buffalo than San Fran obviously... a lot of people just weren't interested in Gore because of his age.
I got Gore for $22 or so last year. Definitely on the low end of the spectrum for RB1 and not anywhere near the 2nd round price someone paid for him in one of my draft leagues.
But at least in my auction league I had the opportunity to take him if I wanted to wait out all the people who were going to spend money on Rice, Foster and McCoy. My point is, nobody can snipe you.

yeah, I'm with you on that.
and what you said about showing up to a snake draft with Top 200 sheet is so true, typically it is best player available.
but in an auction when random different players are nominated, it makes for more interesting results IMO. It felt like a few times last year some of the other guys would just get up to go grab a beer or something because they just weren't interested in that player.
like for example, if a bunch of marquee WR's had been auctioned off in a row and then all of sudden someone nominates Mike Williams from the Bucs. You can bet he wouldn't get that many bites.
