    I can take it, will be up for at least few more hours.

    Henry is very underrated, I feel great things are coming from him.

    I like Henry. Good size/speed/power combo. Not sure Tennessee was his most ideal fit though. He'll fit well on your team nonetheless.

    Every time you make these x amount of hours until someone is skipped posts, it makes me think of that episode from Hey Arnold where some kid is gonna fight him "30 minutes until you die". Am I the only one?

    I lol'd at this. I hadn't thought of it that way, but this hilarious analogy will stick with me for a while. I loved that show, especially that particular episode.....90's kids remember the football head kid

    I wanted to definitely build in the trenches before I built up my skill positions. I feel like having the combo of Schraeder-Frederick-Beachum will help with the slightly above average, but not stellar guard play. Plus, when has Luck had an offensive line like this? That is one thing I will say- I didn't feel a total need to go skill position heavy because Luck with an offensive line should do wonders; not to mention he'll have a running game.

    Defensively, I think I got two studs in Avril and Daniels, but I am banking a lot on player development of Clark, Shelton, Williams, and Rollins. I'm taking a huge gamble, but one that I think could definitely pay off next year based on what they showed last year. However, if they don't take that next step, my defense is going to be in big trouble. Not to mention if Jimmy were to go down.

    Danny Shelton is one I see growing very much better on your hypothetical team than he ever would in Cleveland. This opportunity to play on a strong DL beside a undersized, high production guy like Mike Daniels is a stellar opportunity.

    Daniels doesn't have the huge, threatening size/strength combo so he's had to learn to play smart with good technique. This would be very beneficial to a sophomore player who relied a little too much on his physique at times.

    Nothing too flashy, but Funchess isn't scared to run through the middle.. most (if not all) of his TD catches were posts or slants. There aren't many possession WRs left and he's young, so he would've time to build some chemstry with Cutler, if he doesn't get sacked in 0.5sec.

    Agreed. You were looking for a #1 receiver and he has the raw talent to definitely achieve that.

    Thanks again I was criticized for going so heavy on the WR's I can almost guarantee I will have more PI calls go my way because defenders will get very grabby when they think they are going to get burnt. However the team I put together is a win now team. A little longer in the tooth. Your defense is going to be darn good and I love the McCoy and SSS picks to go along with Rivers.

    I agree, the sheer amount of talent will create an insane mismatch for you against other teams. Being a win-now team is not bad, considering you have a QB who is in the final stages of his illustrious career. He has proven to be best with high-flying offenses, and he has proven chemistry with Jimmy Graham. 

    Thank you! I tried to get guys this year I feel would fit well in the same scheme.

    @regz1997 do my team next

    Ah a division opponent... This requires much deeper perusing.

    I think immediately my eyes go to your trenches. If the game is close, I think you'll win most of the time due to your strength there. Not to mention having a franchise QB like Andrew Luck with dual-threat back like Lamar Miller will definitely help you win on offense. It seems like you are the guy on the other side of the draft order that's taken the most guys off my board (Golden Tate, Cliff Avril, Mike Daniels, Kelvin Beachum, Schraeder and more). 

    Your OTs will help against the above-average edge talent in our division, and the good DLs around the league. I drafted Justin Houston and Jerry Hughes to create as mismatch for teams without two pass-blocking tackles but you have really nailed that down. Your interior O-Line is just as apt to handle the pressure of interior DLs like @52520Andrew's Poe/Donald, @ludy51's Dareus/Lotulelei, and @Italian Raven's Short/Atkins with Travis Frederick leading the group. Easily the best center in football and a very key piece to Dallas' success on the OL.

    Thank you I wanted to give Brees weapons to be able to spread the ball around he is a QB who loves to spread the ball around and my goal was to give him the weapons to exploit the defense he is playing. Thank you. By the way nice pick in Ngata I was eyeballing him hard...

    Thank you! I sensed he would be gone pretty soon, so I decided it was time to pull the trigger. Glad my senses didn't whiff there lol. 

     

    Yes I am very afraid for your division. Your division opponents better have invested in many quality DBs or you will basically walk away with the division title and a playoff slot this year. Quite frankly when you have that many weapons on offense I just don't see how it's possible for any team to hang with you no matter what other pieces they have.

    More perusing occurred, more shout outs are needed. 

     

    @Dubs Really like both sides of the ball. Offense isn't super flashy but it could shape up to be the most consistent one in the league. And the defense has a lot of youth and star power at each level. 

     

    @ALSKAN RAVEN FAN Sweet cinnamon buns of lore, Drew Brees has enough weapons to furnish the army of a mid-sized European country. I am scrolling up from the bottom and just see Jimmy Graham, Eric Decker and B-Marsh. I'm like "damn that's a sweet receiving corps". Then I scroll up and my eyes just about pop out of my head because he also has AJ Green. If they switched to basketball, this team could easily compete at the NBA level. All I can say is Drew Brees may set the record for happiest end to his career.

    After perusing the roster thread, I feel like getting giving some shout outs to some incredible position groups or sets of players...

     

    @Mt. Crushmore has the makings of a terrifying offense for Brady to work with. Highlight for me is the OL, not to mention having Jamaal Charles as his RB. The whole offense will benefit from that stout OL. 

     

    @-Truth-'s offense, barring a clean bill of health, has the most firepower in the game. Nuke will be the steady prototypical WR1 while Corey Coleman should make sweet music with Big Ben as a deep threat. 

     

    @Italian Raven, to nobody's surprise, is building a front seven that makes Rex Ryan offer to work for free to coach. Good luck to his division opponents' running games, that's all I can say.

     

    More to come as more perusing comes...

    I almost want to do all ravens talk on this thread. The threads on Ravens Talk are turning into pure insanity.

    It's definitely getting bad. I'm so glad that here in the fantasy threads for the most part we can have logical conversations without making our opinions more than they are. There's respect here.

    Nobody is blaming him. Most peeps are upset because he was a need reach to begin with. Ozzie Decosta ignored the position in the best wr draft ever knowing Torrey was going to be a free agent and leave the team hoping undrafted players would step up and counting on an aging WR to not fall off.

    And guess what? Kamar Aiken and several TEs stepped up and delivered as did other guys, and Smitty DIDN'T fall off, in fact he looked exactly as driven and dominant as he did the season before, before his Achilles gave out.

    Yet once again this has nothing to do with Perriman! In the 2014 draft the only guy who would've been draftable from where we were at that year was Kelvin Benjamin. He was raw at best coming out of college, and has encountered injuries of his own. Mosley was a damn good pick that year. Imagine what our ILB corps would look like without him. Our Ravens defense is built upon strong sideline to sideline play from our ILBs. Our FO knows this, and rightly saw that Mosley is going to be a star in this league.  

    The point is this. FO did the best they could in '14, and IMO picked one of the best guys available who fit a need. Breshad Perriman looked like a fine prospect out of college in '15. He still has all the tools to succeed given a clean bill of health. The knee injuries will not affect his straight line speed at his age, and what he needs at this critical point in his career is a fan base that backs him up instead of calling for his head.
