Must be due to the age of their QBs

Shouldn't be though as its 1 game for this season. Can't possibly say Mariota over Brady for that.

oooooh, good to know

We looped around pretty quickly the last time so let me know if you want me to hold on to your next selection.

[ravefan52]

On mobile, I think Lambo is available. If so I'm out

[rmw10]

@LosT_in_TranSlatioN is on the clock, followed by @BmoreBird22, @allblackraven, and @ravensdan (and again on the turn).

[ravensdan]

Man, I was about to pick Jeff Janis there. Oh well I can't decide if I think he's about to break out or flop. 

 

Went with Wilson who looked quite good despite the extremely conservative offense and Justin Hardy who I liked at ECU and could come along as my fifth WR

[rmw10]

Anybody want my pick provided @LosT_in_TranSlatioN Doesn't return in the next 20 minutes or so?

Yup, have to sit on the computer anyway.

Yeah, realized too late to care, couldn't be bothered editing...

Freely admitting I might have been wrong about DeAndre Washington @-Truth-. Liked him more as I saw more of him, and it sounds like they're eyeing him for a big role in Oakland.

Very relieved to hear that since you've nailed quite a bit of the under-the-radar RBs, so I was worried when we had different assessments. I was hoping to pick him myself but he'll likely have a larger role on your team. Hope he does you proud.

@Archeearl92 is OTC.

[Archeearl92]

@CalvinSmoke You are up

[Archeearl92]

@-Truth- you are up

Who the hell picked tyrod taylor 16th?

[Mt. Crushmore]

Thanks @-Truth- for making my pick. I think Stevie Johnson is a nice fit in the NE offense. Averaged 4.5 catches and 49.7 yards per game last year. He is my 3rd WR (have 2 TEs and 2 RBs as well) and can help in the slot, which is always important.

Sebastian Janikowski, K

Still invalid.

Oh yeah @Mt. Crushmore sorry I didn't put your pick in last night. Still used to Dubs being there.

Its all good. Both the Lawson and Johnson picks got in and we made great progress again.

Yep.  Reasons why I like to see more than 10 minutes of tape lol

[Mt. Crushmore]

About 2 hours until @-Truth- is skipped

[Archeearl92]

Hopefully we can get something going today so I can make my pick

When do the next round of the playoffs start?

The progress had to be halted because of the abundance of threads. It didn't sit well upstairs.

Willing to take a gamble on Brandon Boykin at this point, especially since he was just signed and passed by Chicago. The level of play has never been in question as he was an above average cover man in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. He's put up videos of his training regimen and he also saw a world-renowned hip specialist who recently cleared up the speculation about his hip. Apparently the memo was then sent to all thirty two teams and Boykin was signed not long after. If he can stay on the field, then he's arguably one of the better slot CBs in the league.

It seems crazy to me how he keeps losing jobs considering his play on the field.  It clearly doesn't look like it's affected him thus far.  I can see concern if you were talking about signing him to a big money, long term deal.  Just seems bizarre.
