It has nothing to do with the fact that he's a cowboy, it has to do with the fact that they drafted a RB in the first round in April. MBIII is another in a growing number of RBBC RBs.

Yeah, that's a huge trend that's really diluting the fantasy stud RBs out of the draft. Should make it more fun, more tricky. Probably just a handful of the workhorse backs left.

I think it's great for the NFL, but tough on fantasy geeks.

curious: do you disagree that it'll be RBBC in Dallas? If not, why do you value MB3 so highly?

PS--Come on, BIM!!!

Give a guy a chance to say hello to his family now and then! I'll get my picks in but I'm not going to predraft when I'm more than a half-dozen picks down. I'm sure the guys who went over so far had good reason. We're a lot farther along than we have been in previous years, and besides that the season is still (unbearably) 3 weeks away.

i'm in airports all day today, guys. I'll pre-draft one round ahead before I leave, but I probably won't be back on until tonight.

I don't think it will be a true RBBC the first year in Dallas, no. MBIII will be the goal line back as well as the feature back, while Jones will likely come in on 3rd downs and also to spell MBIII on occasion. I think Jones might take away from him some, but not a huge amount, at least not this season.

I was trying to get some picks in before last nights games.

Nice picks of McFadden and R. Williams...damn you!

As my Commish...do something about BIM please!

He is about to time out for the third time. Seriously...36 hours for 3 picks?

I predrafted each time and more than once the guy I ended up picking was on my predraft list.

Chill a bit. The season doesn't start tomorrow. We do the draft with plenty of time to spare. Soon the draft will be over and you can set your roster and begin the wait for the regular season...

Why are you the only one who has timed out 3 times? All you have to do is check in every 6-8hrs and see where the draft is.

Be respectful to the other 11 people who are actively monitoring the draft.

It is a little excessive, BIM.

JMHO.

I am with Pariah and TheCardFan here.
12 hours is bad enough, but we shouldn't have to wait an addition 2 hours for Steve at Antsports to contact you. Would it be so hard to check a computer every 12 hours??

I am of the opinion that if someone times out they should forfeit their pick and have to accumulate players from the waiver wire/FA pool when the draft is over to fill that/those roster slots.

I think it should be a computer generated pick after 12 hours.

Draft for him. It's been 6 hours since he's out of time, 18 total.

What sucks is that so many have pre-drafted and we're going to be sitting here waiting again in no time.
