-Truth-

i did pm ravens_ but he hasn't be around in more than three days now

anyway, i'll leave my pick with -Truth- just in case him and ER20 come looking

 

ps or if Grim or CARavens are around they could pick for me too

Sounds like a plan.

Nah. Bashing Texas works better lol

True. But with how you put it, he could tell you that you're right and that Texas is the best school ever.

Can't someone contact him with an alternate form of communication.

On it, chief.

To the conch signal!

If anybody wants to leave their selection with another member, please feel free to leave them with me, as I am usually active at that time.

we'll need ER20's pick soon, can you please work some magic

I wish I could. I check in with Ed_Reed20 very often. He's been working quite a bit lately, so he typically only signs on about once or twice a day. But he's very responsible when it comes to submitting his selections, so I will PM him to let him know that he's on the clock.

By the way, I love the current pace we're going at. Good going, guys.

I have my sights set on one guy that I am praying falls to me. It's going to be a nailbiter!

I am now officially worried.

Very good pick in Terrance Knighton.

Was thinking about Arenas with my last pick. Nice one.

Can someone check to see if some players are available for me?

Sure thing. You can PM me their names.

The next five selections go as follows:

Ravens__
stm85
BALTIMOREFLACCO
arnie_uk
Blackbirds Rule

I know who the next pick will be and it will be a terrific steal at this point.

Great pick in Kyle Juszczyk. He was one my favorite sleepers coming into the Draft. Will be able to contribute at several positions, including TE.

He wasn't the only one, he was in my top 3 remaining LB prospects.

Glad to hear that. I believe that I know who's one of the others.

Solid pick in Butler. He seems to have gotten things together in Indianapolis.

Nice choice with Conner. I was strongly considering him when I settled on herzlich for my last linebacker position. He is still a young guy who came in as a seventh rd pick. He has fared best against the run but he doesn't emberrass himself against the pass. Nice pick in this very late round.

Thank you very much. I wasn't aware if anyone even knew of Conner. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment.

The pick is in. Kavell Conner saw 12 starts in 14 games in 2012, finishing with 54 tackles and 1 sack. However, they were paper starts, as Conner was given only 330 snaps throughout the season. He was atrocious in coverage in 2011 when manning the Will spot in their 4-3 base in 2011, but was much improved in this facet when switching to ILB in the 3-4, allowing the 2nd lowest completion percentage at his position with 55.6%. That being said, defending the run was easily his bread and butter. An elite run stuffer this past season, Conner was able to muster up 35 stops in a measly amount of playing time. In fact, he finished with the highest run stop percentage of any ILB in the entire league. At 26, he'll be groomed as the replacement for Nick Barnett. With both on the roster, Conner will rotate in on obvious running downs with Barnett coming in during passing situations, and his addition allows me to run the 4-3 on occasion.

My selection will be in shortly.

Thanks. I'm glad I took him now. I was thinking height not make it to me. He is the last tight end left who is strong blocking and receiving. I was a bit concerned about his past off the field issues but I am confident that is in the past.

I'm confident it is too. I was considering drafting him over Chandler. He's an outstanding block, and a solid receiver. He should be pushing for a starting job from here on in.

Damn. There goes Travis Kelce. Love that pick. He would've been my next selection.

The pick is in. I'm living dangerously with selecting another real-life FA, but Nick Barnett had two very solid seasons in 2011 and 2012, without missing a single start. He was cut because of a failed physical, but as Ian Rapoport pointed out afterwards, it meant little since, "Any team can make any player fail a physical." Barnett's a stop gap option given his age, but he's still a dependable every down LB, and that's more that I could ask for in one of the final rounds.

They got rid of Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem. Brees needs to throw 5000 yards again and they only got Graham, Colston, and Moore locked up. Toon might be the next one in line.

I see Joe Morgan getting his shot first, especially since Sean Payton stated that he believe that Morgan can be their #3.

Very good pick in Greer. Surprised he lasted this long. He was one of the best performers on an atrocious defense last season.

You've done a good job giving locker every chance in the world to succeed. I will be watching him closely early in the year to see if he can make any improvements in his poor decision making. I believe lockers play will dictate Tennessee to be either 4-12 or 12-4.

Thank you. It was an absolute must, and as will I. The Titans are a true wildcard coming into the season. They've shored up the OL and WR corps. As long as Chris Johnson shows up for more than a handful of games, Locker should be in an ideal scenario, and will likely be one of two key determining factors in their success or lack thereof, along with their defense.

I forgot all about Rodney Hudson. Terrific pick.

You have some serious speed on your WR's, RB, and TE. Dangerous team.

Thank you. Out of that group, Scott Chandler's the only player with questionable speed, but I feel like I've surrounded him enough of it otherwise to offset his lack of down the field ability and allow him to utilize his 6'7 frame to be a sizable target in the middle. I don't expect Jake Locker to magically develop into a top tier passer, so surrounding him with capable YAC WRs felt like a must. Both Steve Smith and Darrius Heyward-Bey were within the Top 15 in forced missed tackles at their position in 2012, and Cordarrelle Patterson made a living in this department in Tennessee, so the quick slants and underneath screens should be of help in getting and keeping Locker in rhythm. C.J. Spiller will figure into the passing game as well, being one of the better, if not one of the best receiving RBs last season. That being said, the Offense will likely revolve around #28. This should keep Locker from having forcing to force his hand in order for this side of the ball to be successful.
