Draft a Franchise: Discussion

[-Truth-]

The pick is in. Took one of the better Fullbacks in the NFL in Jerome Felton. He's been consistently effective as a run blocker in Minnesota, especially on their lead draw plays. His presence will be of help to Alfred Morris and the rest of the RBs.

Are SecretAgentMan and gabefergy still participating?

[BmoreBird22]

I'm not sure I'll take a fullback

[gabefergy]

I'm still participating, not sure about SAM.

Good to hear. And yes, same here. I'll go ask him.

He just told me that he's out so you are on the clock.

[BmoreBird22]

He did say he'd go out if Mettenberger got picked. Not sure if he'd really be that immature or he just got tired of it

I'd presume it was the latter.

I was waiting to see when will Holmes finally go.

Am I up? Good pick in Branch

[rmw10]

I picked up a nice veteran S in Ryan Mundy to provide some insurance for my young S trio of Micah Hyde, Deone Bucannon, and Duke Williams.

Happy to land Alan Branch at this point. He's been a solid run defender and is unfortunately miscast in the schematic change of the Bill's defense. He will sub in for Mike Martin on running downs at LE in odd man fronts.

Thank you.

[allblackraven]

Happy to get last half decent QB available as my backup.

[rmw10]

So I'm assuming Nick is no longer participating?  He has 6 skips to his name and was online this morning.

Wow busy day...

Grabbed mettenberger as my backup QB (just to stick it to Sam... Lol j/k). No I believe in three years he will be viewed as one of the best QBs from this class and the browns and raiders will have whiffed again big time. He is a similar style QB to Bradford so it's not a huge leap in style. I think with some good coaching he is really going to be good.

Felton was going to be my next pick. Ugh.

Mundy will always be remembered for putting tebow on the map to me.

Went with Ike. He can't possibly repeat last years train wreck when he was one of the top 5 underrated corners in the league prior too. At the very least he can provide veteran leadership in case any of my group struggles.

Ike is also 34.  Not much room for improvement there.  He may not be as bad as he was last year, but I don't see him returning to anywhere near his talent level from a few years ago.

[PuRock]

How many total rounds are we doing?  The full gambit?

 

I forget, and need to plan accordingly.

As a fourth/fifth corner I think he's more than adequate.

53 man rosters, I thought.

[ravensdan]

53 man rosters, I thought.

At least 90

Sorry about that.

Last year, we went as long as the last person wanted. But there is no minimum. Anyone is welcome to drop out whenever.

[allblackraven]

At least 90

Then do 15 rounds of cuts to 75, 22 more of cuts to 53 and finally 10 more rounds of signing PS.

That's what I thought.  Wasn't sure.  At the rate we are going, we'll be done by this weekend. Haven't had much of a chance recently to re-up my list.

 

Went with Kareem Martin mostly because I'm a big fan and this was a good spot to nab him.  I like his talent.  

[52520Andrew]

Really nice pick in Branch, he was one of the 4 D linemen I considered when I got Jackson and Walker
