With William Jackson likely headed to IR, could I replace him at anytime or only when I am up?

On your clock, I think.

You don't have to wait until he goes on.  A lot of the waiting is procedural, and being that we have time limits and everything, we don't necessarily abide by those rules.  Feel free to place him on your IR and replace him at any point when you're on the clock.

Had no choice but to use the picture of the iconic blocked punt against the Falcons.  Mauti saw Gleason's block as a kid and then was able to do it with him watching.

Mauti was pretty damn solid for the Saints last year, so I'm happy to add him to the LB rotation.  I think he could provide a nice alternative to Vic Beasley on running downs.

I almost drafted Mauti, exceor that he played like 200 snaps

Being my 6th LBer at this point, I figured I'd much rather have a guy that put together 200 quality snaps than 1000 bad ones.

@CalvinSmoke gets skipped in 12 minutes, which would put @Archeearl92 on the clock.

Calvin at the buzzer.  Left 1 minute to spare.

[rmw10]

Figured if I'm going to grab a FB, it might as well be one that can play DT too.

Brown is stuck behind an extremely talented group of receivers. Word is he's ahead of Nelson. 

 

Toner is is a guy that can help bring more toughness to this Oline. Something I think you really want in a back up olinemen. 

[allblackraven]

Went here with two picks for hair style value .

I am up right?

@-Truth- where r u?

Sorry for the wait. Figured I'd be by a computer but was forced to take a step away for a few hours. Lansanah has been a solid player over the last two years and has finally found a home in Miami, where he could stick and potentially even push for a starting job. It's a strange move to bring in Spikes considering that he was just beaten out by Lansanah, but it's purely a speculative addition and I'm fine with taking the gamble this late, especially since my LB corps has a good deal of depth. I'm intrigued by the fact that Spikes is attempting to find a team as I've always been a fan of his ability on the field. At worst, he'll fizzle out, which won't hurt my depth considering the pieces already there. At best, and I mean very best, he could be my starting Mike or Sam and be a thumping force for on a two-down basis. It's a stretch, and I'm not as invested in this working out since I figured last year that he'd be on a team, but it won't hurt much at this point.

Brandon Boykin lands on I.R. with an injured pectoral. No telling if it's of the season-ending variety. That's one gamble that paid off.

[CalvinSmoke]

Probably drafted my biggest gamble since I've been playing this game... But it's in the continuation so it's chill

I've had him on my list for a while but couldn't pull the trigger. Can't blame the move considering I picked him up last year.

Yea, as cancer as he is an all aspects of his life he's still a good player on  the field 

[rmw10]

I just can't stand Hardy as a person so he was never in consideration for me. 

Pick will be up in a few.
