Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread part 2!

[Blackbirds Rule]

I thought Steven Jackson and Clabo would last longer due to their age nice picks. Steven Jackson would've been a monster with my offensive weapons.

Pick is in. PM sent to Ballhawker

I love the way people rate players. That's my favorite part of this entire process. It's really fun to see how others rate.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Damnit! Massie was my next pick!

[Mt. Crushmore]

I was hoping Massie fell a little farther.

I'm sorry. If it is of any consolation, this man is still on the board I believe

 

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Argh!

[easternshore97]

I was hoping Massie fell a little farther.

 

That's exactly how I felt when a certain GM snatched Brian De La Puente....and Michael Floyd, and kindasortof w/Michael Bennett

Call it even?

[stm85]

Damn you! Amendola was gonna be my pick!

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Nice pick with Danny Amendola!

[easternshore97]

Call it even?

+2 surplus for you doesn't really equate to "even"

[Mt. Crushmore]

+2 surplus for you doesn't really equate to "even"

 

I can make it +3 if you want...

Great pick with Quin. One of the best players left by far. I was wondering when he would be off the board.

Thanks.  I had totally forgotten about him and when I saw he was left, I had to take him over the other guys I were considering.

I have work at 4. Who wants my pick in case I can't make it myself?

[GrimCoconut]

Thanks. I had totally forgotten about him and when I saw he was left, I had to take him over the other guys I were considering.

I recommended him to one person who asked me about safeties. Lol. Poor them. He's one of the best left easily IMO.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Looking at my board, safety was one of the positions that was really depleted and Quin was the last guy I really liked.  He is 27 and can play either FS or SS, just like my other S Reshad Jones.  In fact, the Texans had Quin go up against slot receivers in man coverage all of the time last season.  I am going to have Quin play SS and Joens play FS.

Send it over. I'll be here off and on today. I'll try to check frequently for your pick

Quin is such a good pick at this point.

I like this combination you have... It gives you flexibility to disguise coverages as well and not have one or the other just the old fashions FS/SS... I think that is important.

Thanks.  In today's NFL with all of the passing, true SS are becoming a liability as they can't cover.  Both safeties have to cover as offenses have something to exploit otherwise.  I think Quin and Jones are a perfect combination for this.

Nice pick with Danny Amendola!

 

 

I don't know, Amendola is a HUGE injury risk.  He has only finished a season one time in his 4 year career without missing time with injury. 

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

True. When healthy though he is a top 5 slot WR IMO

[stm85]

I don't know, Amendola is a HUGE injury risk.  He has only finished a season one time in his 4 year career without missing time with injury. 

 

He isn't injury prone though. His injuries have been freakish for the most part. He missed a whole season with a dislocated elbow. That isn't an injury one is predisposed to, it is just bad luck coming down at an awkward angle.

[Free Agent]

Ugh, I wanted Amendola to keep falling. Great pick, hawkprey.

[Sizzlebshu]

Good pick in Quinn

 

As for the Amendola pick, don't know the rest about your offense so I can't rank it. If he is completing it, phenomenal pick, if he is starting it though, I dislike the pick. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

Good pick in Quinn

 

Thanks.

[Guest nflfan123]

I hate whoever took Quinn and Amendola

I'll take that as a compliment.
