@rmw10, I didn't know teams are allowed multiple head coaches

Koetter is my OC, not HC

Promoted to the guy who just gets paid a lot of money to hang out on the sidelines every game.

Like most of your team last year after they were injured/retired.

Yep pretty much the case.  I decided I wanted to live that life instead of actually working.

[rmw10]

I have another pick for @Mt. Crushmore but I don't know if he still wants that guy or not.  I'm assuming so, but I'll defer for now in hopes he comes back sometime soon.

Btw your chart is super hard to read on mobile. 

Just took a peek and it looks like a jumbled dictionary. It needs a full scope view to be appreciated.

[allblackraven]

Not so good news for me - Reggie Ragland hurt his knee, no contact injury. 

Also Jalen Mills injured Jordan Matthews' knee with a low hit in practice.

I'm down for a PS squad as well by the way.

I like the Ihedigbo selection. My picks will be in shortly. That being said, does anyone have an issue with either the PS suggestion or just keeping it going? The decision will likely impact who I take here.

Guys  IF you do the PS, no new threads please, threads are getting lost. Please recall we asked that you wrap your game before TC started.  The games start in less then a week so it's time. Thanks.

There definitely won't be any new threads. We've been running a continuation with a dwindling fraction of participants as the main course of the game wrapped up on July 22nd. We just figured it wouldn't be an issue traffic wise as there were less than a dozen members remaining since the beginning of TC. We've been down to just six of us for a bit now and would be entirely finished within the next few days either way. That being said, if you'd prefer, we could keep the remainder moving in the PM and just update existing posts in the draft thread with our selections.

@Mt. Crushmore is OTC, then @rmw10, me and @ravensdan

That would complete 53 + coaches.

Except for those who have tons of suspended and injured players... @-Truth-

[ravensdan]

Ihedigbo was a nice pick. I was considering him a while ago. 

 

Will Hill I'm a little surprised to see picked. Epitome of million dollar body ten cent head. I would be very surprised if he gets another chance.

Thanks man, Ihedigbo is a solid safety. And will  add to the versatility of my defense 

[CalvinSmoke]

Yea I looked at Will Hill and I'm still amazed at his digression... As soon as the Ravens paid him he we t straight down Hill... Got benched half way through the season then gets cut. He was our defenses only playmaker too... 

[rmw10]

I'll be in and out for the next 2 hours or so, but I'll try to check back as often as I can.  I'd pass my pick along but I'd actually like to make my last pick, so apologies in advance for any small delay.

To be fair, I only picked him since he won't count against my final roster, I'm at 53, and I have 6 safeties ahead of him. It's practically a no risk, some reward sort of a scenario.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Thanks @rmw10 for making my 1 pick. I know Rashad Greene had plenty of fans around here in the draft process. He'll be a nice 6th WR. Him and Ryan Smith will battle for returning opportunities, but right now I have Greene as the PR and Smith as the KR.

As for Cameron Brate, the Bucs already named him their starting TE ahead of ASJ, who went in the 21st round. He'll be my 3rd TE (really 4th when H-Back Bruce Miller is considered).

If we are doing a PS, I'd be down. If not, I'm down to 3 picks left.

Thank you for pointing that out. I saw the picture initially and froze in place wondering whether I actually missed out on picking up the Cardinals David Johnson that late.

We'd all have failed if that was the case.

[rmw10]

That'll end it for me unless we're doing a practice squad (I was joking by the way, but I'd be up for it) or one of my guys gets injured/suspended in the next couple of days, which is bound to happen with my luck.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Probably shouldn't do a PS, so we can get this over for the Mods.

[allblackraven]

That'll be it for Fumble Factory this year. Thank you all, it's been fun.

[-Truth-]

Wish I would've known about the P.S. not being serious before I went with Blair III. In either case, I'm a few picks shy of a finish.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Well, if rmw and allblack are done, then I'm up, right?

[Mt. Crushmore]

I forgot we drafted special teams coordinators last year until I was looking through something for it. As we all know, the Ravens special teams have been great under Rosburg, so I'll add him even though he doesn't have any Belichick experience. 2 picks left for me.

@Archeearl92 is up followed by @-Truth-.

[-Truth-]

Slick move to clarify the ST coach availability after taking the best one available. We've had several posts prior to the continuation stating that we're drafting 53 players and 3 coaches. No biggie, I suppose.

[ravensdan]

Happy to get Tardif with the last pick. I was just assuming dubs had him. We should do the PSAT least on pm. The game is a fun pace with just 6 of us. 

[Archeearl92]

Totally forgot ST Coordinator, pick will be in shortly.

Thanks, we moved several of the threads to OT, if you keep it to existing 2 threads would be great thanks
