Good pick with Dunlap.

And you'll never know

Mwahahahaha.

From teams taking rookies as early as they have while there were superior veterans available who aren't even old is a surprise for me. I'm quite honestly shocked a certain position group is as talented as it is at the moment. I'm very surprised. Some really great players are available and they shouldn't be.

Speaking as someone that took a rookie, I just believe that Beasley's potential as a pass rusher is off the charts. He could be every bit as good as guys like Doom, Von Miller, and to use a great Ravens pass rusher from the past, Peter Boulware. Beasley could be an elite player. I just didn't want to pass up someone with that level of talent. It's true that rookie pass rushers are a bit risky, but I have confidence in him.

I can also understand why Cooper went as early as he did. There are still plenty of good WRs, but there aren't many true #1s left, and he was one of the few that has that potential.

Brees is 36 now. You gotta expect his ability to throw long passes to go downhill a bit. At this point in his career, he'd be better with good route runners that can run well after the catch.

Some patriot fans have starting an online money drive to pay off the fine: http://www.gofundme.com/NewEnglandPatriots

 

If you for one second think we created this page for the money, you're insane. We created the page because the fine is ludicrous. You charged them $1,000,000 because of who they are! If the Cleveland Browns had been caught cheating, a million dollar fine would've NEVER hit the table. I am not bashing any teams I am just stating because of the Patriots name, they overdid the charge dramatically. IF you (The NFL) have a reason to punish them for cheating, fine.. suspend Tom Brady 4 games, take some draft picks.. IF you must add on a fine, be reasonable. One Million dollars is not F***ing reasonable. Its classism. We don't care how many billions the organization or anyone else has. We stand up for the poor, we stand up for the rich. How is it okay in our society to stand up for the poor when belittled by the rich, but wrong when the roles are reversed? Its not about money people, its about treating EVERYONE fairly. The second you understand that, you'll begin to understand why we started this GoFundMe account.

Gotta love how he leaves out the fact that the punishment is so harsh since the same group of people have been caught cheating multiple times.

I like the Maclin pick. By the way, on the Beasley selection, I'm curious as to why there's a Bulldog tackling a Tiger.

Used the wrong gif my mistake. It's been fixed.

With the 175th pick of the 2015 fantasy draft, The Homers select:

Vic Beasley, OLB

As soon as City and Truth pick I'll be ready to hand in my pick.

Nebraska quit and hasn't been replace yet, right? So the next pick should be Sizzle's.

That was a good set of picks. Got a solid NT, and two great edge rushers.

Yes I agree

And there was more than just birk-Gino going on there too

I know there was, but that certainly added to the problems.

People sure love their centers round here

Centers have a huge impact on how an o-line functions. Also, what happened when the Ravens went from Birk to Gradkowski is still fresh on people's mind.

I'm not wildly enthusiastic about the figures quoted by PFF.  They've shown more times than not that they are illegitimate statistic gatherers.  But Will Hill the best Safety in the NFL?...Hold on a minute, before we go much further...give me  dime so I can call my mother!

 

Mom is an NFL encyclopedia and she is still laughing hysterically about PFF's characterization of Will Hill over there in the kitchen. Mom says that Will Hill is much better than Matt Elam and that bum we signed from Oakland two years ago and that he has shored up a sieve of a secondary. (She just held up a real sieve for emphasis).  But she's still laughing.

 

Between chuckles she's calling out the names of better safeties, but they are hard to understand.

 

She definitely said Eric Weddle, Eric Reid, Earl Thomas, Jimmy Ward, the guy in Minnesota. She's said about 10 names but I can't make them all out she's laughing so hard., but invariably she is right.

 

Love you Mom!  Can I have pancakes for breakfast?

Did you completely miss the part where it said Hill was the best strong safety, and listed Weddle as the best free safety?

When healthy, I think KO has a higher ceiling than Yanda, and the Ravens have Urschel who can take over Yanda's duties. I'd want to keep both, but if a choice has to be made, I'd keep KO.

So I thought I'd get some opinions on this.... Best edge rusher in the league right now:

Von miller

Justin Houston

Or someone else.

In terms of pure pass rushing ability, I'd say Doom. He was a beast last year.

Suggs scares me because of his age, I think he went too early

If you're still going to get a few years of good play out of them, I think it's fine to take an older guy. They'll add leadership to the team,

With the 147th pick of the 2015 fantasy draft, The Homers select:

Byron Maxwell, CB

ok guess it shows the wrong time for me then

Maybe the board is set to the wrong timezone for you. That would explain the hour difference.

About two hours. That'll make it exactly 12 hours since the last pick, and thus the current person will be skipped.

I have one person I mainly targeting in this round, and a backup if he gets picked.

I understand that but I'd say my order is...

C > LG > RG > LT > RT

I have it in this order because I think the center has the most important job on the OL. After him, I think the LG is more important because they assist the LT and center and are responsible for pass pricing and run blocking if you want to run between the center LG. If you LG doesn't do either well you'll struggle. Granted the LT is often on an island but he runs to the exterior are often not ideal. You want to run between the tackles. The RG is important to me but if you have a good RT you can mitigate a weaker RG and usually you can find an effective RT. It's hard to find a LT that can run block and pass protect.

That's the same order I have as well. You can mask not so great tackles with help from guards, tight ends, and backs. However if the interior line isn't that good, you're screwed. Also, centers are like the brains of the OL. A great center that knows how to read defenses can make all the difference in the world for a line.

Look at the Ravens last season. While their tackles are no slouches, a lot of their success came due to their interior linemen being so good.

So, how long until there are league sanctions against the Not So Slim Shadys?

I hate you all. When I expect to get players picked ahead of me, nobody touches them. That poses two problems:

 

1] I don't know whom to choose now

2] Puts some doubt in my head and that messes with me

When I was looking for players to put on my list of possible picks for each position, I just looked up lists of underrated NFL players, as well as top position player lists.

Foles is a solid QB in my opinion, and I'm really surprised he went this late.

I really like the last two picks. Hopkins is a legit top, young receiver that'll keep getting better. And I'm surprised Monroe went before KO. I get that people value the LT position more, but KO is an absolute beast.
