Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread part 2!

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

You might as well complete your defense.

Just don't take two guys I am targeting.

 

was thinking that I might take a LB and put him to play SS - there's no more safety that i like

[gabefergy]

Im going Tim Tebow RG

"Highly mobile"

Really? There's quite a few that I like still.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

there are quite a few good safeties left yes, but none sparkle any passion for me

 

ps i also said i'd go a rookie for D and one for O, and there's no other rookie for the D that I want to go for lol

I like my rookie

As for safeties I agree. No one really stands out as difference makers, but solid players are still Available.

[GrimCoconut]

It doesn't matter...NBA fantasy draft...wrong thread.

Oh. I thought he was referring to the last game we played and made a mistake when he said NBA. I see now.

 as you said earlier (in the part 1 thread lol), my secondary looks a bit thin, Talib would've sorted that a little bit - but now i missed on Cyprien too so kind of have to agree with you - it does look thin lol

Thanks Truth, you are very good at making arguments haha. I just get fed up and stop trying. Anyways, I wasnt trying to suggest that Bishop will definitely be one of the best ILBs next season, but based solely on his performance over the past 2 seasons when healthy he could very well be in the right situation. Getting cut clearly doesnt mean he lacks talent. It was simply a numbers game, and if he rebounds and has a healthy 2013 campaign whichever team lands him will have found themselves a steal. Of course there is risk involved, as there is with any player coming off a serious injury, but likewise I feel that he was signficant value for my team in the 13th round. Even if he doesnt return to his 2010-11 form, he should be a solid addition.

You're very welcome. lol Thank you, and I value your complement as it goes both ways. It definitely didn't sound like you were suggesting anything of the sort, and I absolutely agree regarding what he can be in the right situation, especially when at 100%. I also agree with the sentiment about being released, as well as his value at this point. That he should, and I'm anxious to see where he lands.

[hawkprey]

i'm here to pick for hawkprey just after Crush

Thanks.

[Gordo52]

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

He gave an interview on Sirius XM today that was very interesting. He already has offers on the table so he must have passed the physicals. He mentioned plans to go to Jacksonville and NYG and a call from SF, but he emphasized opportunity as an important factor. He clearly wants to start for some team. Personally, I think the Giants would be an ideal fit.

[CARavensFan]

It's not your fault. It's natural for young children to root for winners.

I'm assuming he has, especially considering that he proclaimed to be 110% several weeks before. It's obviously an overstatement, but it's encouraging. The Giants would be an ideal situation. As would the Chiefs, in my opinion. Bishop sandwiched between Johnson, Hali and Houston would take quite a bit of pressure off of him. I also believe that he'd be a solid fit with the Vikings. Either way, it sounds like he'll sign with a team that will have a solid amount of talent around him.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

just as a reminder - please don't forget to leave your pick(s) with somebody from europe if it gets late at yours, so we could pick it all up early in the morning here

[Mt. Crushmore]

Haha, Crush did you not want to get stuck with Orson Charles again?

 

Yeah, that didn't go as I planned.

 

I hate Crush more than he will ever know

 

Good to know.

 

Mike Adams, another safety about to lose his starting job

 

Moore won't lose his, Adams has serious competition though.

 

so... i'm thinking really hard not to go offense... just to piss Crush off

 

Here I am, trying to be helpful and you are just throwing me off to the side.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'm happy to get Fleener here.  Yes, Allen had a better year than him but, Fleener was on pace for 48 catches before his injury and wasn't the same after it.  Also, he is re-united with his college OC this year, so he will be used more like he was in college, so he will see an increase in production.

 

And, as Gabe said, I didn't want to get stuck with Orson Charles as my starting TE for this mock.

Here. Happy?

[Guest nflfan123]

CB seems like it's getting thin

[Guest nflfan123]

I wonder if Tony Gonzalez will retire after this season

[SecretAgentMan]

CB seems like it's getting thin

Indeed. I would only take two of the ones as my #2

[hawkprey]

no worries, anytime

I'll make my next pick. I'll PM you if I can't, but I should be able to do it. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

Plus, anything to upset SAM .

[Mt. Crushmore]

He will, which is why I passed on him.

[Guest nflfan123]

He will, which is why I passed on him.

Don't rule out the possibility of taking him late

Have him start for one year, then give the keys to Fleener. Plus 2TE offenses r common

[Guest nflfan123]

Indeed. I would only take two of the ones as my #2

at this rate I'm gonna have Jabari Greer as my #2

[Mt. Crushmore]

With EJ Manuel at QB I'm not going to compete this year so I'm building young and Gonzalez won't fit as I would only get 1 year out of him.

Damn you
