2015 Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

[-Truth-]

I've been considering Pitta myself. Good gamble at this point.

[Mt. Crushmore]

At this point (51st round), Pitta is well worth the risk imo.  If he is able to get back, imagine him and Charles Clay at TE together.

Thanks.  I've had him on my short list for a while.

I, too, was thinking about Pitta at my next go around.

I hope I'm wrong but I think it's now wishful thinking unfortunately.

I'm in the same boat as you.  I have severe doubts about a return.

Decided to roll with Josh Robinson here. I realize that he's my fourth RB but I wanted to land a bruising runner, and while Robinson isn't exactly imposing with regards to size, he plays with a low center of gravity and invites contact. I liked him in college and he also put forth an impressive performance against the Eagles today. His presence should allow me to preserve Bush and Woodhead to use mostly on passing downs.

That was on my mind lol

He's too quiet lately, nowhere to be seen.

Are we allowed to replace a player after the 56 Round , if he gets cut or gets injured and is going to miss a lot of time or is beeing placed on IR?

[Yatagarasu]

Lame, my dream of having a healthy / suspension free roster went out the window with Mykkele Thompson. 

 

I wonder if Justin Bethel can play safety like in his college days.

 

A.J. Bouye might not be a bad option either since he's a pretty efficient tackler.

You may have missed one, but I believe that I addressed this in the previous page. I have a couple of suspensions ans two of those players are currently unsigned so I'm taking precautions and allowing a healthy competition until the suspended duo returns. You can also cue the Eric Cartman .gif.

I currently have 7 and that will probably change in the next 5 rounds.

That does make me feel better.

Not surprised to see Barnidge here, especially since he looks to be the starting TE in Cleveland.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Gabe is now on a 6 hour clock as that was his 2nd skip.

 

Ozzsome is also on a 6 hour clock.

Dubs up now. Then your go.

I don't think I have a WR over 6 feet so wanted a big guy. Word out of Seattle does not make Matthews sound like he will follow up on his SB efforts but he is at the back of my rotation and could be a situational guy for me who has size

[ravensdan]

Daryl Williams looks like he can develop into a nice fit at tackle for my team and word is he may start in carolina. Williams, myers, bowanko should be a nice group for the future.

Went ahead and picked the legend. Wallermania is running wild around here. My expectations are tempered but I have to admit just his run blocking alone was awesome. If he can develop his receiving skills he can certainly be a replacement for colston. For not picking a receiver until late I think I ended up with a really good core. Waller being my sixth and last guy.

[-Truth-]

It was difficult to pass on a very highly decorated DC. I ultimately decided to roll with Sean McDermott due to the fit. His current scheme isn't identical, but he has experience with the 4-3 Under as a Jim Johnson disciple, which often called for off-coverage CBs and zone blitzes. McDermott has been more conservative in terms of dialing up pressure, but that's because of how productive his fronts have been without sending an extra blitzer. They were the 4th most productive team in 2013 with Greg Hardy on the field in terms of effectively pressuring QBs with just a four man rush. Given that defensive line is arguably the biggest strength of my team, I'm sure that he could make good use of my current personnel.

Sorry for the delay guys. I was out at training camp and it's a very strict no phone policy.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Burley played pretty well as a slot CB for Seattle last year.  He'll be my backup slot CB.

[rmw10]

Paul Richardson is probably starting the year on PUP, but I'm alright with a midseason return from him.  He didn't do too much last year, but he's a guy that can stretch the field for me.  I'll more than gladly take the chance on him as a 6th WR that I don't have to put on the roster right away.

Isn't he now buried on the depth chart?

How was practice today?

[Mt. Crushmore]

He's not buried, but he is definitely lower down on the depth chart (4 or 5 ish).  He played well in his limited time last year and as my 6th CB I'll take it.
