Auction Strategy Number 3 - Wait for it...wait for it...QB's

Let some other guy overpay for Michael Vick, who is likely to get hurt by Week 4 and miss 3 games (and 20% of his "value.")  Throw him out in the second round, if possible, by this time, everyone has settled in and has seen a couple of first round bargains happen and a QB or two have gove, so they get a little nervous.

Once you determine the value of Vick in your league - always subjective due to differing formats - big him up to about 75% of what you have him valued, or more importantly, what you think your league will value him.  If the bidding is between 2 other owners, let them move him up in price and sit back and wait.  Be sure to throw in another dollar if the bidding stalls below 85%, but be sure you do not get stuck with him at or above 90% of full value.

Then...wait...and wait...and wait...keeping 10% of your budget handy for a Matt Ryan or Big Ben.
