I'm sorry. I just saw that in the other PM right before picking. I feel bad about that, but there is one team still out there that I was strongly considering. I feel like you might as well.

[Geving]

[Geving]

Sent my picks to a couple guys. So hopefully we can keep it going

[Alexir]

Sorry for delay, guys. I checked front page and didnt see any update but when I got on computer I saw the messages! 

[JO_75]

Only thing is Berad needs to update the first post, unless he did it earlier it is still listed only through the Lions. Let's finish this tonight.

Clutch is the only one who has still not picked at this point.  Everyone we've skipped is caught up except Clutch.  I'd expect BmoreBird to be on later and a couple of us have Geving's picks, so we're scooting along slowly but surely.

Clutch hasn't been on for almost a week. I think we need to reach out to somebody as a potential replacement.

[FreckleNate]

Now I know I am very biased but if we get a replacement for clutch the replacement should have last pick and just bump everyone else up one. I think it is unfair to bring in a replacement and put him in front of a lot of us

Lol you REALLY don't want the Cowboys

[FreckleNate]

This is very true...

I don't think your request is at all unreasonable at all, but the decision is up to the CoCo I guess

[FreckleNate]

Yeah I don't think it is unreasonable either, but not wanting the Cowboys is playing a huge role in my suggestion

[T3hRaven]

I'm trying to convince them to make a special exception for the Cowboys anyway.  I was bored last night and I did the cap math.  Unless the person wants to lose Tony Romo, which I don't think is a good idea because he is a starting caliber player despite his issues, you can't get under the cap.  In reality, they can't do that move because the looming dead money in 2015 would put them in an even worse situation than they are now.

Remaining teams update:

 

Buffalo Bills

Miami Dolphins

New England Patriots

 

Denver Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs

 

Dallas Cowboys

Washington Redskins

 

Chicago Bears

 

New Orleans Saints

[Mt. Crushmore]

My #4 team choice is still there.

 

Also, I love that throwback Bucs logo.

Saints will be no picnic either but at least you get Drew Brees

That's the best one, IMO.  I don't know who did those logos, but a lot of those are better than the actual one the team uses.  I've got his one for the Vikes on the State of the Franchise.  They're not all good, but the ones that are good are really really great.

Yea I was gonna message you about that vike's logo.. That logo is nice

On the cowboys, I was seriously going to take them but as you said I couldn't find legitimate way of making it work without cutting romo which is completely unrealistic

This is true any team I get will be no picnic with pick 32

where did u get that from.

But you're losing two of his starting lineman in all likelihood, one of them being an interior guy.  And Graham isn't exactly safe either.  Brees will be a different player next year with reduced ability to move up in the pocket and worse protection.  And they'll be cutting a lot of defenders.  There's a very real possibility that the Saints will finish 3rd or even fourth in that division.  With Lovie and all that talent on defense, I wouldn't be surprised if they snuck into contention if Glennon develops at all and Carolina has that defense.  The Falcons will still have issues, since they're losing Gonzalez and will still have a terrible OL.  For two teams in the South, it's pretty much all on the QB, and that's really not a good thing based on the rest of their rosters.

The Saints will find a way to keep Graham but losing De La Puente and Strief (who I think is overrated but still above replacement level) will hurt. The young guys on the defense should improve and they can free up a ton of cap space by cutting Will Smith and his absurd contract.
