2014 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

Nice picks by crush, I was wondering when Feiler was going to go. He was the other Bloomsburg O-lineman who I was hinting at earlier who I liked but wasn't a great scheme fit.

Not sure if you're still participating in the UDFA. If you are, you're on the clock.

 

I'm done so far

[52520Andrew]

Then it looks like we have made it to round 8

[-Truth-]

I'm on the clock then?

[52520Andrew]

 

Here's the finalized order.  As stated before, as people drop out of the later rounds, we'll simply delete all future picks and move everyone else up the ladder.

 

 

 

Here is the order again since RMW can't update the UDFA thread for a bit. It looks like the Seahawks are up

 

Crush is on deck lol

Awesome. Let me just do some quick scouting on the choice for the third option and the signings will be submitted.

Take your time. I've done none of my homework on who I want to choose yet lol.

lol Yay. Thanks.

[Mt. Crushmore]

lol Yay. Thanks.

 

I'm after you and I'm ready...

 

I have 6 players left in UDFA and then I'm done.

Since it looks like we may be able to wrap this up tonight, would you guys mind if I signed the final 4 free agents in FFA I want just to get it over with?  I doubt anyone will contest the guys I'd like to sign, but if anyone does, that would be completely fine with me

I have 12 left...

I only have 10 roster spots left - planning on 6 UDFA and 4 FA.  The 4 FA I want are pretty much the camp body/maybe practice squad types.  But hey, that's cool.  I'll still be around if you'd prefer that I wait it out.

Can we change it to two FFAs perhaps? Would that be a middle ground?

Yeah that would be fine with me.

[52520Andrew]

Depends on who your guys are lol

[-Truth-]

How do the other participants feel about changing it to two FAs?

[rmw10]

Okay my homework is done now.  Hurry up Truth

The signings are announced. Ken Bishop is an under-the-radar prospect, who is slowly making his way up boards. Caught my eye when I was watching Joe Windsor. He comes with a good motor, violent and active hands, plays with leverage and is able to collapse the pocket. He also has impressive feet for a player his size, and has good awareness in the passing game, finishing the year with several PDs and 2 INTs on screen plays. Khalil Wilkes will need to add significant bulk at the next level, but his technique is solid enough for him to stick around as a reserve. Lastly, Camren Hudson may need to work on his angles in the running game and technique in general, but he can bring the hammer at times, has good timing and recognition, is able to break on the ball very well, has good ball skills and natural ability in coverage.

I have 12 left...

You are also on the clock lol

Here's a good question, by the way. The current FA procedure. Does the timer begin at 7 PM EST for everyone? If not, it definitely should. I saw a few GMs come in well after 7 PM and then pick from that spot from there on because they perhaps weren't clear on the rules neither. This continuously puts them at a disadvantage during every round all because of being late one time. If it's the latter, then it shouldn't be that way.

I really don't care lol.  Whatever works.  I don't expect much competition for the guys I want so you guys can fight it out.

lol Understandable. I just wanted to establish clarity moving forward.

 

Let it be clear to everyone then that they are able to make their selection at any time from 7EST to the same time of the next day. That way, we still have a 24 hour period in between, but members aren't continuously punished for a single instance of being late.

Sweet now I can get my guy at 7 instead of 7:07 lol

[52520Andrew]

Shoot, I really wanted Carlson. I was even prepared to trade for him

[gabefergy]

So I just took a dude because I thought we were going by the 24 hr from last pick rule, does that mean I can pick again this evening?

[gabefergy]

Haha, I'll trade him to you ;P

[52520Andrew]

Haha, I'll trade him to you ;P

Yeah I think you are good to pick at 7.

That would be great lol, just make sure I end up with Rodgers

Yes. You were one of the people I was referring to. We never provided clarity, and I noticed that there was another GM who was under the same impression, so I wanted to either clarify or make a change so that you and others like you who weren't here at exactly 7 PM on the first day weren't punished by it repeatedly, as you unfortunately already have been. You'll be able to pick at 7 PM EST every day.

[rmw10]

Anyone against choosing 2 FA's from here on out?

[52520Andrew]

So I am up now correct?
