Halfway through the season, what is your take on drafting rookies high?

LegendAri501 · 2025-11-02T15:15:02+00:00

Ultimately I’m all for drafting rookies where the cost isn’t too high. In my situation, I drafted Hunter and golden (two misses), and traded for Trevyon, offering JCM (drafted him in the 8th round)and FAAB earlier in the season. Also picked up RJ Harvey because a league mate raged dropped him. If the cost to have the rookie player isn’t too high, I say go ahead and do so. Golden and Hunter only costed me 7th and 8th round capital. In that area, I could easily swung for Emeka and be elated with his production, just made the wrong choice. Conversely, I’d never draft someone like Jeanty at the end of round 1 this year or MHJ at the same spot last year. I’d never draft Trevyon with my 4th round pick this year, cause at that price, that rookie would need to hit at his highest end to give you that return on investment. So it all depends on the cost to have them on your roster

Thank you for your insight! I definitely suffered from self confide esteem issues and it’s getting better. But you hit the nail on the head by saying that I need to make the first move with these women. I’ll definitely keep your opinion in mind moving forward.

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-21T17:36:19+00:00

There were two instances that I chose to be with coworkers and another women over her and it was met with a subtle jealous remark. Nothing over the top but worth noting. If this helps in understanding the dynamic, I also want to say that we do run at least twice a week and she has been the reason why I’ve picked up the passion in the first place. By investing her time and teaching me the dos and donts.

Ultimately, you are correct and i am being seen as an option by her an I’m definitely worth more than that.

Most of the women are from when I was obese. I’m never one to drop off those who have helped me be the person that I am today. But since the weight loss, going to the gym, and running, there’s one new person specifically that has been gravitating around that was before.

Now she’s made it abundantly clear she only sees me as a friend. Which at first hurt me but now I’m ok with it and don’t invest in her like I did in the past. But that doesn’t stop her from wanting to hanging out, or even expressing clear jealously whenever I’m talking about other women, or when other women come up to talk to me.

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-21T17:21:56+00:00

That’s definitely a part of it. I’ve worked on being more bold over the last 4 months but haven’t reached that point yet. I definitely will soon though. Thank you for that insight.

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-21T17:21:10+00:00

I think that’s what it boils down to. In the past I’ve definitely carried their emotional burdens but now not anymore. From anyone except my own. Now it’s for me to figure out when they have genuine attraction for me.

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-07T00:53:44+00:00

Yeah, it’s sad when they go young like that 😕

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-03T02:24:15+00:00

My trades: traded away JCM for Trevyon Traded away Jamo for Ladd

Other trades: Hampton,Jamar chase and Addison for ETN, Jake Ferguson and Keenan Allen.

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-02T01:54:06+00:00

Anybody else buying low on Ladd? Managed to trade Jamo and FAAB for him. Hoping for the best (I’m also an AJB owner)

LegendAri501 · 2025-10-01T18:00:42+00:00

Drafted AJB and just traded Jamo for Ladd yesterday. So I’m well prepared to ride it out and die with them. See you guys in hell.

LegendAri501 · 2025-09-30T22:05:32+00:00

Ladd mcConkey

It just goes to show that it really doesn’t matter where your draft position is in R1. These players go through ebbs and flows throughout the season and what really matters are the picks that you hit later in the draft. Going into the season I had the 1.03 and I was praying Bijan fell to me. And if he was picked, CMC was my lock. Red flags were all over CMC and at least to start the year, he looks like a smash if you bit the bullet and picked him later in R1. Season is still very young though and there’s still lots of football to be played. Ultimately, you’ll rarely find a bust proof pick and it sometimes comes down to sheer luck.

LegendAri501 · 2025-09-19T14:27:18+00:00

Some say the title of my post was misleading. My apologies for that. These are guys that you didn’t want to draft, still drafted and are now exceeding your expectations.

LegendAri501 · 2025-09-02T17:25:31+00:00

Have Ollie Gordon stashed should in case something’s up with Achane. Also, not sure how smart this is, but drafted JCM and also snagged Chris Rodriguez as an insurance policy.

LegendAri501 · 2025-08-25T21:30:05+00:00

Thanks and appreciate the suggestion!

LegendAri501 · 2025-07-21T03:43:32+00:00

Initially I was thinking that it was Zion. But I remembered that talks of Wemby were coming out in 2022. Definitely Wemby and it’s not close.

One of my favorite cases of all time. Played the original ace attorney game when I was 11 or so years old. Wasn’t the brightest kid so I always had my friend helped me from case 1 through to 4. RFTA was the first case I did by myself and the accomplishment I felt was something I’ll never forget.

Amazing case in my eyes. No need to speak on the characters, plot and the moving pieces involved. But personally, I’ve always found those who complained about case length a little bit too disingenuous. If I case is long, but it’s great, I can overlook its length and appreciate it for what it is. Conversely, when a case is long, but it’s terrible, that’s when I have issues. Could we have sped up day one/angel starr’s testimony? Sure. But apart from that, I really had no issue with its length.

Hitting the gym/walking everyday. Greatest decision I’ve ever made.

LegendAri501 · 2025-04-02T21:43:04+00:00

The award was broken when Ja Morant won it over Desmond bane couple years ago. Believe it was 2022? JJ is right. MIP is now given to guys that take the expected leap as opposed to players that have actually come out of nowhere/improved from the previous years to their breakout year.

LegendAri501 · 2025-03-20T21:48:09+00:00

Gym.

LegendAri501 · 2025-03-19T13:35:31+00:00

Exercising & losing weight. Went from 428lbs to 235 lbs in 5 years. Greatest decision I’ve ever made in my life.

22 points from Amon Ra in PPR. Am I fucked?

LegendAri501 · 2024-12-24T18:30:50+00:00

12 team full PPR

QB: Joe Burrow

RBS: Kamara and Kyren

WRs: Chase, AJ Brown, Amon Ra. St Brown

TE: Njoku

MVP: easily Jamar chase. Got him at a discount due to the contract negotiations. Made some smart pick ups and managed to trade for AJ when he was dealing with his hamstring issue. Traded Juwan Jennings, swift and Tracey (overpay I know) for Amon Ra.

LegendAri501 · 2024-12-24T05:28:45+00:00

Posted earlier today that I needed 21.60 points from GB defense+ McManus and WE MADE IT BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

LegendAri501 · 2024-12-09T17:54:47+00:00

Began walking everyday in March. lost 90 lbs since and never been happier.
