Draft a Franchise: Discussion

You're back up already.

 

oh boy

[rmw10]

Whew. Sio Moore is said to be okay after that ugly injury earlier tonight. Happy for him and my team.

[ravensdan]

Jefferson was a player I liked a lot coming out last year. Have no idea why he fell so far out of favor.

[rmw10]

Derek Sherrod is finally healthy. I've been trying to keep an eye on him in the preseason. He started very slow last week but improved greatly throughout the course of the game. That carried over to tonight's game and I figured I should finally pick him. It gives me another LT option if Greg Robinson were to struggle there.

Yeah, he was projected as high as 2nd/3rd and nothing...

It's a not a high five, but I'm sure Tom Brady was glad to at least receive the low version. Good guy Ryan. He doesn't come off as the brightest individual. However, I've seen him breakdown plays, and he seems to have a good football IQ. The arm talent has always been obvious with Mallett. And could you have a last name much better for a player with a cannon? He hasn't been as impressive as the hype thus far. But as a back up QB whose role is of a fill-in only during an injury, he will suffice.

What if the QB's last name was Cannon?

I thought of that myself and that's the sole reason for why I added much before better.

He's also pretty good at pulling off trick punt plays

lol True that. Another asset.

[BmoreBird22]

Am I already back up?

[-Truth-]

One of my worst selections from last season is reportedly looking comfortable in Mike Zimmer's scheme and has fared well in the preseason thus far. Here's to the hopes that his days in San Diego were an anomaly, a horrific and painful to watch anomaly. Fortunately, the best he'll do is via for a reserve role, so the risk is blunted at this point.

Am I already back up?

 

Yes.

[BmoreBird22]

A lil surprised Mike Adams was still available

[Mt. Crushmore]

Raji is out for the season so I went with Sutton here to get me back up to 4 DTs

Trying to pick while in the middle of a fantasy draft isn't a good idea lol, I knew I wanted Shembo but I had no clue what to do at the other pick so yeah lol. Oh well as big a headache as Simpson is, he is my #5

[gabefergy]

Is there such a thing as a bad pick 40 rounds in?

[rmw10]

Is there such a thing as a bad pick 40 rounds in?

 

I don't think there is unless we're talking about someone like a UDFA that has no shot at a roster whatsoever.  Even then, if you like the guy, why not?

 

My Ryan Broyles pick is sitting at a -1.  I know he has an injury history, but I don't see how that can be considered a "bad" pick at this juncture.

Back at 0 after I read this.

[rmw10]

I always try to +1 all of the negged picks, because as Gabe said, I don't believe there is a bad pick at this point.

 

That poor DHB pick though lol

[-Truth-]

Woohoo!  Not that I actually care.  I've just noticed that most or all picks conveniently go down 1 at once.  We have an internet tough guy hanging around here somewhere.

 

lol Yes, and that's a good observation. Both John Carlson and Shane Lechler were down voted initially. I personally didn't feel that they were bad enough of picks to be negged at this point, but it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Our Ryan Mallett and Jelani Jenkins selections were just negged.  That somebody is listening it seems.

No you're at +1

 

I'm in a good mood and just made it rain +1's in the draft thead.  Even DHB got some love from me.

How did you know that she's my inspiration?  Her and Tony Danza.  

[52520Andrew]

If you want to figure out who it is just look and see who is online when a bunch of negs appear lol. I am getting to the point where I am having trouble picking guys out now lol

As a number 5? Why not?

Nothing wrong with Lechler. He'll probably play another 12 years

[52520Andrew]

Time to get my Punter and a good coverage LB backup.
