as percentage, where I assume by rd8 we will have drafted about 3 QB, 9 RB, 12 WR/TE for "flex" players; making totals for each being QB27 RB33 RE84 OL24 DE24

conclusion: we have followed the genco-endorsed model of taking Def/Oline/QB in rounds one thru three

I also now wonder if we need 8 rounds in a draft; the last 3 rounds are virtually all WR/TE.

Yes tom but the point of the draft is to make sure only one team owns all those WR's and TE's.  If we don't do eight rounds, every team in the league will draft Calvin Johnson and Crazy Legs along with either Winslow, Parks or Fears, Smith, Box, Graham or Gronk.  Variety is the best thing of these draft leagues

bold prediction: Genco does not win this league.

Well this season both my teams are balanced all the way around. Vulgar is my 1st ever attempt with a top RB. I will will live or die by OJ on that team. I returned to using SPT and kicking with both squads. Let the fun begin!

top6 DEF spending avgs$28.8M
bottom DEF spndg avgs $35.9M
middle12 DEF spending is all between $32.4 and $34.3; it seems the majority of our owners have determined the sweet spot is right about there for a $75Mil league.

We are apparently driven to have a high DRIVE rating: only 5 owners have defense with drive < 75. More than half (14/24) are 80 or higher. A truly unique defense along this line is isac's vulgar display of power's 46 Yankees, which cost <$30mil, drive rating of 97, strong against the run, but will allow a lot of 22-for-34 for 330 yards, 0 INT passing stats. Don't know if anyone has used that one before.

i picked that def specifically because of the drive rating and above avg run rating. I totally agree the pass def will be suspect.
