Earl Thomas is really good value at this point, like that pick

Yeah. He's well worth the pick as he's one of the few difference making free safeties in the league after QB it's the most scarce position. I get teaming him with Sherman but he's more of a stretch here IMO. 

 

Love Atkins

Probably a stupid question but this is my first time doing this. Can we draft this year's rookies?

why was my Manziel pick canceled? Sure the kid has problems but he's talented and just needs a good locker room around him. Wanted to see if I could get some locker room character guys to be around Manziel but my pick was canceled..

He's not on a team at the moment.  I believe a player needs to be on a team to be drafted.  I could be wrong with that, but I'm not sure.

Where does it state that in the rules? It's not like i picked a Kicker or a punter. Sure he might be an unpopular pick but that doesn't mean I'm not taking this seriously.

As I said, I wasn't sure if that was a rule or not.

It was an awful pick. He doesn't have a team and can't stay out of trouble. If you wanted him, he would've been available in round 26

Love the Rivers pick. Please get him an offensive line. He's earned one.

Steal of the draft. No reason he should've been on the board in the second round

Houston is a bit of a risky pick with that knee. We don't know how much time he'll miss this year. Then again, I took a QB who'll miss 4 games so...

What? He sprained his PCL due to a hyperextension. They expected him back at 100% 4 weeks after his injury last year. Houston has no injury history plus he is in the top 5 when it comes to edge rushers. He's only 26 too. What risk?

He completely slipped my mind for some reason...

There's this quote that if you like a guy then take him with your pick so I did. Again I understand it's a unpopular pick but I like the kid he's talented.

If it's not why was it taken down? On what grounds does it break?

Per his Rotoworld page he had ACL and LCL surgery this offseason and could be sidelined anywhere between six and 12 months - though that time frame was from an Adam Schefter tweet in March.

@regz1997  Like the pick.  I almost took Rivers with my first pick but decided to go with youth.

 

Muhammed Wilkerson is one of the elite lineman in the league and plays all over the Jets front...for now, considering he most likely won't be with the team after this season.  I'm surprised he made it to my pick.

He had ACL surgery this offseason and is out anywhere from 6-12 months. Safe estimate is probably half the season missed, though nobody really knows 

[CalvinSmoke]

Julio was probably my next pick.  Nice one

Yeah I could see how in 6 months he's back on the field. Houston has overcome so much in his life, I expect him on the field in good shape to play by about mid-October.

[ludy51]

I have one guy I want here so please don't take him

@harfordravenfan

[regz1997]

Thanks for the Phil Rivers love guys. He's a great QB, and he's done a whole lot with not much

Houston was a good pick I was kinda hoping he would fall to me in the 2nd he can set an edge and get after the QB for sure.
