This is one case where KDS did NOT make a big difference in the draft order. There were a lot of owners who went 1-15 in their KDS and were willing to take what was given to them. Only one owner got their first preference, only one got their second preference, only one got their third preference and only one got their fourth preference.

The average draft preference was 7.13, not much better than a random selection of 8.0. So what you see is what you get here. For the most part, those at the top and those at the bottom were placed there by the luck of the draw. A few folks moved down from the middle or slightly up from the middle, but this was an old-fashioned pick 'em and draft 'em league!!

Good luck all.

David DiDonato and Andre Bourcier are defending champs in this league as we had two Ultimate Draft Leagues last year. David is also the only two-time winner of the NFBC Ultimate League. Good luck all.

What's this, three live baseball drafts in a row where I pick right after Jason and Eric? And two in a row (counting football) just before RT?

Gotta love consistency!

Gotta love consistency! At least you don't have to worry about saying "is Randy Moss dead?" in this draft!!!

I couldn't resist.

Sorry for the short call today. Hectic times.

With Shawn and David picking before you, I predict at least three "falling out of chair" moments!
