Big Blue 06 195 Posted July 31, 2008 Good Morning! Nice 1st round, hoping Brady, Moss or Portis would have dropped to 12. Not real hyped on having to pick Manning but he's safe pick I guess. I like Peyton and Mcgahee for the wraparound picks. God, I love having the 1st or the 12th pick in a draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted July 31, 2008 Well, it's been just over 3 hours that he's been on the clock today. I'll give it another half hour, try him again, and then I'll just pick for him and work on getting a replacement owner in here before round 3. (Hopefully Cdub, as swirve suggested). Thoughts? Comments? Please, chime in all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comments? Please, chime in all. Sounds good to me. Or you could just post on the main board "first person to come over here and make a pick is in the league". That way, at least the new owner got to make their own second round pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted July 31, 2008 I look at replacing someone as a last resort and something I'd like to avoid. He just made his pick, so as long as Riddlen will be able to check in with the board every once in awhile, I'd rather have him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zackattack 0 Posted July 31, 2008 I wanted LJ dispite the fact I think he will have a mediocre year. MJD has a ton of upside. I needed a RB. Moss/MJD good start as I see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sucks when you target someone and he goes 1 pick before you draft. MJD does have a lot of upside, and is a good value in the middle of round 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted August 1, 2008 So is Grant the last quality RB people are thinking about there, before the run of receivers? I don't know what to think of Grant now. A month ago I would have drafted him without hesitation. Now, with the Packers lowballing him, and his reaction to such a sh!tty offer, I'm gonna steer clear. Rumor has it the Pack are willing to part with Favre for Chester and a 2nd rounder. I'm not sure how much of this is the Pack exacting some hurt on the Vikes for getting Favre, or how much of it legitimately speaks to how they feel about their running game. Either way, I'm staying away from Packers RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted August 1, 2008 and there's a A LOT of talk that the other RB in GB has looked mighty good. I was willing to take Grant if he fell, but figured there was no way. There's no way Grant sits out the whole year. He'll take something. But the Pack's offer seems to suggest they feel confident with who they have now. If BJax takes a lot of the 1st team reps, he'll start out ahead of Grant, and if anything it devolves into a RBBC.....yet another RBBC. From what I saw last year, Grant could run. But then again, maybe these guys know someting we don't. Grant was an undrafted FA. Traded. And took half a season to catch fire. Maybe he got lucky and the Pack sees through him I guess I would still draft him, based on 2007, but now consider him along the lines of Jacobs rather than Lewis; i.e., he drops a round based on what's happening in camp now.

Zackattack 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Reggie Bush at 3.8. I know this isn't a PPR league. The guy was on pace for 100 catches last year. They gave him the rock as many ways as possible. He supposedly dedicated himself to getting in football shape this offseason. I could easily see him get 700 yards rushing and 700 recieving. Throw in 7-11 TD's I think you have a very good pick in the third round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted August 1, 2008 I hate ronnie brown and LJ and Brady. sigh you're building the all risk-all reward team (well, except for Brady). I don't know why, but the wait from 25-48/49 seems a lot longer than the wait from 1-24/25. I guess it's cause you know there's still gonna be solid talent there at 24/25...but the way things are going, um, 48/49 i'm not sure sure about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 195 Posted August 1, 2008 I hate ronnie brown and LJ and Brady. sigh I've avoided LJ and Ronnie Brown on all 5 of my teams that have drafted so far. If they pan out, they'll be huge bargains where you got them, especially Brown. Also, way to be on top of the draft today. Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
