  1. me, trying to "do the Galette"..
  2. Garcon was also in my plans just not before next round.
  3. great pick in DGB. He would've been my pick if I didn't go Floyd now my problem is to find a legit #1 WR. There isn't much left. I was also very high on Doctson, so there's not even a rookie that convinces me 100% at this point.
  4. I think he can develope into a great blitzer too. I just think Georgia shouldn't have played him at ILB as much as they did tho.. no way he can sustain a lineman's pull or shred blocks effectively. In my team he wouldn't really have to face those big guys getting to the second level and expose his weaknesses. That's why I decided to pull the trigger, despite it might be a little early.
  5. I don't think I would've taken Floyd until late 1 round this year.. Maybe I reached a bit too, here, but I don't think there's a better fit for him than this already very phisical D.. nor I think I could find a better Sam at this point. Very curious about his potential as a blitzer and zone defender.
  6. With the 431st pick, Those Funny Guys select: Leonard Floyd, LB
  7. Oh sure you can.. nothing happened to my board yesterday anyway
  8. Yeah I went to sleep when I sent him but I'm online again since some hours. It's always just a matter of 7-8 hours as I'm afk but almost otc. So don't worry this time, I'm making it. However, we'll be in a similar situation at least a few more times so I'll be sending both you and Crush my top players by then
  9. @BOLDnPurPnBlacK you're up in 42 mins, followed by @ALSKAN RAVEN FAN and me.
  10. oh ok.. how? do you add a code manually? yes you're up
  11. Yes it's quite a struggle from the mobile as you can't even add a picture immediately. It's like doing only half of the job but at least you don't keep the others waiting.
  12. He wasn't.. nice pick btw. I would've liked him as my #3 WR, but I still had bigger needs to fill and higher rated players on board. I'm also updating the big board so don't you worry bout it.
  13. @Kinda_Dante, @harfordravenfan and then @ludy51
  14. @rmw10 We'll be back at it in few weeks/months I guess. My biggest wonder is why asking a guy to gain weight and apparently switch position if he has to be the 4th on the depth chart, or even 5th (assuming both Pitta and Boyle are back), then end up on the PS and get scooped by another team. I just don't find a sense in this nor a reason for the team wanting to keep the most unexperienced guy in a position we're extremely stacked at. Idk.. we'll find it out
  15. 1. Yeah, Waller is a hybrid kinda player, like Funchess.. so it's hard to link him as a TE when he's likely getting most of the reps in the slot. And as you also say, it doesn't really matter into the equation. 2. do you think he's going to be in the final 53? I'm not sure he can fully heal as the season begins and we've seen many times some of our players ending up in the IR without a serious reason.. we could, perhaps, speculate about him not being ready and the team camuflages this with a "hamstring" (or whatever) kind of excuse just in order to keep him around but without having him counting against the '53'. 3. I also didn't know a brick bout Elam but I swear I read it before.. I'm looking for it in my google history and editing the comment. 4. of course just speculation.. it's way too early to predict eventual cuts. We cut Jacoby Jones for a mere 700k when he was our #3 WR and starting KR.. now we are 7-8M under the cap with Williams, Wagner and Tucker to extend.. I wouldn't be surprised if we cut Forsett. 5. I wouldn't know how to use him, seriously. You keep a #7 WR to play only short routes when another gets hurt? He can't be any better than a Givens or Campanaro.. also, he can't play ST but still take the spot of someone who can; we would have to change the gunner and likely see Waller go if let in the PS. I think he has a bigger market value than Raynolds. Edit: http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/BAL that's where I saw Elam being suspended article was updated on " 05/17/2016 8:44PM ET "
  16. Wuuuuuut? Lotulelei was still around? Too bad I can only thumb-up once
  17. I know this will not be popular around here, but it's early and every prediction (whether that is 'conservative' or far-fetched) is equally distant from the final picture. OFFENSE (24) QB (2): Flacco, Mallett RB (3): Allen, Dixon, West FB (1): Jusczyck WR (7): Smith Sr, Aiken, Perriman, Wallace, Butler, Moore, Waller TE (3): Watson, Gillmore, Williams T (4): Stanley, Lewis, Wagner, Hurst G (3): Yanda, Jensen, Urschel C (1): Zuttah DEFENSE (26) 1/3 T (3): Williams, Davis, Henry 3/5 T (4): Guy, Jernigan, Urban, Kaufusi DE/OLB (5): Suggs, Dumervil, Smith, Judon, Correa ILB (4): Mosley, Orr, McClellan, Brown CB (6): Smith, Davis, Wright, Canady, Young, Powers S (4): Webb, Weddle, Brooks, Levine ST (3) K (1): Tucker P (1): Koch LS (1): Cox PR/KR: Moore/Dixon Practice Squad/Injury reserve Michael Campanaro, WR (IR) Dennis Pitta, TE (IR/PUP) Kapron Lewis-Moore, DE (IR) Matt Skura, C De'Ondre Wesley, G/T Vladimir Ducasse, G Lorenzo Taliaferro, RB Victor Ochi, OLB Daniel Brown, WR Keenan Reynolds, WR Patrick Onwuasor, ILB Julian Wilson, CB [Nick Boyle, TE and Matt Elam, S are suspended] My take is: 1)I don't believe the Ravens, who badly needed defensive playmakers, drafted an OT if they weren't sure they couldn't start him day 1. We have to consider that two QBs went overdrafted at #1 and #2, which leaves us with one of the 5 highest rated prospects in the draft. For what we know Stanley could have even been a top 3, at this point. This leaves us with a new starting LT, while our former is unable to switch position; Monroe is too soft and injury prone to play G. Thus, he's a waste of money. Also, I don't believe our #1 pick is going to play out of position, not even for 1 year. Not only he doesn't fit inside because of his style (Tunsil would've been better in this case) but Harbaugh also made it pretty clear: "have you ever seen him playing inside? no". The 4,4M that we retain by cutting him now are much needed, as we must extend B.Williams and try to keep Wagner before the end of the season. 2)Same goes for Forsett. It's 2,3M savings for a guy who was never meant to be a bell cow. In such a crowded backfield, with RBs that complement each others well, that's a too high price to ignore. Kendrick Lewis is in the same situation: crowded position, below average play, and almost 1M savings. 3) I don't get why everybody keeps listing Reynolds within the top 53 players on the roster. There's no way he can contribute after switching to a completely new position, nor he will help as a gunner or in any way on ST, which Waller will.
  18. Well.. Monroe is pretty valuable at this point.
  19. thanks As you say, he was just too versatile to pass on him one more time; also, he doesn't have any major flaw to his game.
  20. lol definitely
  21. Current order is: @ALSKAN RAVEN FAN, @BOLDnPurPnBlacK, @Archeearl92 @thieverycorporation has 5 picks to make while @BALTIMOREFLACCO has 7.. we're almost as injury "riddled" as our Ravens
  22. Pretty surprised that Graham was still around. He's a well experienced, although not too old, DB and he's capable of playing different positions.. one of my easiest picks so far.
  23. With the 402nd pick, Those Funny Guys select: Corey Graham, DB
  24. well I guess @usmccharles is up, since @thieverycorporation is on autoskip.
  25. At this point I really have no idea of who my guards and center are going to be.. I guess I'm taking the 3 ugliest kids, hoping that such a "skill" is enough to keep pass-rushers away for 1-2 seconds. yeah. You couldn't have timed it any better than this, imo.. he's crazy talented and in your situation his 'weaknesses' due to unexperience will hardly be exposed. That's one nice group.
