Figured it'd be criminal if I didn't use the hail mary picture.

Sniped away Rodgers from Mt. Crushmore, who was taking him ahead of me. Hilarious cycle. Very good pick up at this point.

Glad to hear I picked him at the right time then lol.  I had been putting him off for a few rounds now since I already had 2 TE's, but figured it was time to bite the bullet and pick the guy I wanted.

It was between Rodgers and Pruitt for my second TE spot

And Pruitt was my backup to Rodgers, before he was taken, of course.

Wanted Rodgers, but Eddie Royal is still one of the better slot WRs.

Wasn't he fairly injured last year?

Yeah, but the year before he went 62-778-7. We're well over 100 WRs in.

@ludy51 is now OTC.

Ridgeway is a nice choice. He, Reed and Hargrave are my favourite DTs from this class.

Fisher just signed a big deal with the Chiefs after showing improvement last year. He can be my backup to Johnson or swing out to right if needed

He was taken a couple hundred picks ago.

Thank you kindly. I thought he often fell under the radar in shay was a deep DT class.

@regz1997 is on the clock

@ludy51, your pick was invalid, as @-Truth- pointed out already.

[regz1997]

@ludy51 is on the clock. 

 

Mike McCoy's offense and Philip Rivers have made sweet music the last 3 years. I think this is the perfect situation for McCoy, as well as for Rivers. McCoy's offense has really made the most of Philip Rivers skillset and instead of picking a coach with more upside, I'd rather keep my veteran QB in a position where he's had proven success. 

 

My coaching staff is now complete:

HC: Mike Tomlin

OC: Mike McCoy

DC: Wade Phillips

 

My secondary is, in my opinion, capable of running the same man to man scheme to accommodate blitz-heavy playcalling by Wade Phillips. The only problem I may encounter is I have drafted a 4-3 defense. He has usually run a 4-3 but considering the blitz packages will probably look the same it shouldn't hurt things too much. 

 

What do you guys think?

Yeah Fisher is my LT. He's shown improvement and hopefully the new deal is another sign of confidence in him.

I was just considering Ridgeway with my next choice. There are so many DT in this class.

Although as a replacement player and the fact that he's 35, it's still impressive to get a pro bowler this late in the game.

Fixed my pick.

Milliner has shown talent but injuries have cut his chances short. He has apparently hadan incredible camp and is determined to prove himself

You're still on the clock with your next pick.

[Mt. Crushmore]

@-Truth- is up followed by @CalvinSmoke and @Archeearl92

I'll be out most of the afternoon.  Anyone want to take my pick?

Not saying it's a bad pick at all.

I had considered him long ago, but opted against it

Gotcha. At this point there really isn't a bad pick, just ones that I like better than others.

Absolutely. How many picks in are we? At least 700, right?

The 26 rounds are 832 picks and we're in round 40 of the continuation. Draft thread has 918 replies, but the back-to-back people have been doing 2 picks in 1 post, so we're at about 1,000 picks I bet.
