Draft a Franchise: Discussion

9,403 posts in this topic

My apologies here. I see my UDFA Chris McCain went off the board. He's been lighting it up in Miami. I wanted depth at another position, but Jayrone Elliott has been too impressive off the edge not to merit a selection. He seems to have a faster jump off the snap than when I evaluated his college tape. Some of the plays he made against the Rams made me double take.

Probably going to hate myself for extending this game another round, but I loved what I saw from Brent Urban and I think he's going to be a very good player.  He won't take up a spot on my roster since he'll be on IR, but I think I found a nice piece to stash.

You took McCain in the draft? He has been really impressive this preseason.

That I did. I came across his tape during the later rounds of UDFA and he caught my eye. His arms were rail thin, but he knew how to knife through into the backfield and flashed more than once. Reminded me a bit of a Dion Jordan type with a slighter build. Fortunately, he put on weight this offseason and it looks like it helped. You've nailed your UDFA as well in Ethan Westbrooks. I didn't have a chance to scout him, but he's been oustanding whenever I've watched the Rams. His name gets called early and often when he's in the line up.

"You just stole the LS I really wanted!"

I spent days agonizing over the decision.  

 

Unlike kickers/punters, long-snappers are not people too.

I considered him over Rucker

James Harrison has retired

Was going to post this myself. Makes me feel better about my last selection, and at least I can choose another player so the risk didn't hurt me much.

Between school, real football, and fantasy, I don't have time to sit and wait around for this anymore so those are my last picks

 

Since Simpson is suspended, I went with Todman and either he or Simpson would go once the suspension is up

This is the last Round, right?

It depends on whether you have 53 on the active roster or not. The limit is 53, and one allowed on IR.
