Beats me. Kicker is always my last pick, and I do kicker-by-committee. I just see who's playing in Denver that week and go with them.

People have selected their starters for other positions, why not get someone who is good for 10-12 points instead of a backup you will get nothing from.

Oh I see. Instead of drafting a player you will definetly need for bye weeks or an important handcuff, you draft a kicker. Yikes. I'll stick to draft guides recommendations and draft a joker last. I do like the committee idea, just see who is playing in Denver that week. __________________ 30th in refs on Motl! #1 Ref's for Arizona! I offer 3rd party trading services. Email if interested.

Except the kicker is really a position not in control at all. Let's take Crosby for example. Good kicker, no doubt. But if Aaron Rodgers goes nuts, as he does, and throws 6 TDs, you get 6 PAT points. Reasonable, but not great. Every team is going to have it's good and bad days, and either extreme likely means fewer points for the kicker. Some are better than others, but it's a wildcard position for sure. I just take the best available and roll the dice. Certainly not worth burning a pick yet.

Took a kicker 10th round last year and 11th round this year. I never felt like I had to pick up another all year last year so I'm hoping for the same now. Nothing else on the board interested me anyways.

I'm confused how chaos bumps his thread on two different websites but has missed three picks in a row. Are we continuing on or what? I think we should just replace him at this point.

According to what I saw just a few hours ago, I wasn't up. If you want to replace, be my guest. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds. Say it like you mean or STFU." -rockondonSale Thread

You've been on the clock since 5:19am(iirc) Motl. I updated to show that you were on the clock at 10:15am (Arizona time, which at the moment is the same as Motl time) The first missed pick was because of the trip to the hospital. I do not know if you are still there. We've been given no update on that. I, personally do not know reasons why the next 2 picks were missed. All I've received was a pm stating "I'll get to when I get to it". __________________ 30th in refs on Motl! #1 Ref's for Arizona! I offer 3rd party trading services. Email if interested.

I am no longer in the hospital. I literally checked the front page of this thread around 5:45 pm CST after I got off work. I didn't see my name as "on the clock." So I went to a Magic tournament that started at 7. I just got back and now I'm being told I should be removed. Go for it if you want. I'm kinda turned off by several things about this group at this point. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games.

On this site, it has a nasty habit of loading static pages that are old, you must refresh the page. You've been around plenty long enough to know that.

Gee golly. I never would've thought of that. Thanks mister. I would be so lost without you. Now how exactly do I go about refreshing the page? __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds.

Chaos if you you still want to be in why don't you just make your pick? I thought the rule in the past was miss 2 picks (or was it 3) that you just get booted. I don't really want anyone kicked out, but you haven't made your pick and you keep on posting it looks like you care more about complaining than picking a good team.
