Don't rule out the possibility of taking him late

That isn't nice!

You took Fleener, so as compensation you must receive Teo :P

 

 

It could be worse. I could wish Vernon Gholston on you.

I just got a chance to look at this after a long day of work. I'm very glad Acho made it to my pick. He is an incredibly versatile 3-4 OLB who is very strong in coverage and setting the edge in addition to being a solid complementary pass rusher. He can't be your main pass rushing threat but I don't need that with Ware and Long in the fold so he can fill in very well as a jack-of-all-trades type of matchup threat.

He didn't seem very good against therun to have that type of role. Somewhat of a liability in that department. However he is still a young player with room for improvement so it could work out well for your team. It certainly helps that he will be a complementary player to your established defenders.

He definitely isn't an Upshaw or a JJ, but he has been solid against the run and has flashed the potential to be very good there with better positioning. He has the athleticism and strength for it. He is also elite in coverage for a 3-4 OLB which allows my defense to be very creative with the blitz. With Dareus, Long, and a DT to be named controlling the line, I can mix up different attacking looks with Ware along with Wheeler and Acho, who are both very strong blitzing and coverage, and really confuse an offense.

I'm very happy I already have my two young playmaking safeties who are both up and coming players

The safety position is one of the thinnest remaining positions. However I believe there are still plenty of valuable picks left for every position. Some still have a lot of depth remaining.

Pretty happy with Earl Thomas/Donte Whitner myself. I think they compliment each other very well.

I only have one but Reshad Jones is one of the best in the league and can play either S position which helps me find a partner easier.

Who wants the two picks?

 

I would take them, but I'm in the same boat as you and most likely will be going to bed in a little bit.

 

I can act as the relay though and take them until I'm able to hand them off to someone else.

 

You could also just message Horus as he will be on while we are sleeping.

I'm going to be out of town until Sunday and probably won't be able to have much if any internet access so I left my picks with Grim in case it gets around to me. I also wont be updating the draft board for obvious reasons.

I've been waiting around to see if my pick was coming up. I'll check back in 3 hours 

 

I'm up and ready to rumble. Y'all can send me your picks and I'll post them all in a nice row. Got easternshore97's and SAMs already, by the way.
