Booooooo

 

Well in this case, still not a bad day.  12 picks total.  Think tomorrow could be slow unless regz comes back as he's been offline for over 24 hours.

Right? I like the progress. I should be able to get ahold of regz1997.

[T3hRaven]

I didn't expect you guys to get back to me so quickly, I'd figure I'd be setting up a board when I got back not picking.

Looks like the Boulware pick flew like a lead balloon

Boulware has a very high chance of going undrafted. He's just not an NFL player at 6' flat, slow, and t-rex arms.

I liked Boulware in the 7th but that's about it for me.  I think he's relegated to ST only and think he could excel there, but I have trouble seeing him as any sort of legitimate defensive player.  I do hope he proves me wrong though because I do like the guy.

ST is the only way I see him making it, most outlets have him going 7th-fa.

Really? I saw one or two mocks projecting him to go in the 4th. I like his tenacity and aggressive play. At the worst, I expect him to be a special teams standout. He's a fighter that refuses to quit. The NFL could always use another player like that

[-Truth-]

Granted that I haven't seen any of Boulware, but I didn't expect this many negs on a late 4th round selection. I gave it a +1 to offset it. I've personally gotten away from negging selections. I either give it a boost or leave it be.

Skip comes in 6 minutes @ravensnick

Pardon the delay. I'm working on a trade that's been discussed over the past few days.

Only two picks so far today, that depessing

I don't see why everyone can't pass their boards to someone if they won't be on, or at least make your pick within an hour or two, there's really no reason selections should take so long. If you are trying to trade it's understandable but I can't see another reason.

The Draft is taking way too long for my taste...I am sure that is the slowest one I am involved in. Don't passing on your Board and trying to trade the pick that is on the clock for hours is just taking the fun out of it for me at this point. (which is the 4th round after about 2 weeks...and we made like 2 picks today...)

[rmw10]

These are the types of days where I just want to trade the rest of my picks and be done with the game.

Sold.

[rmw10]

^ I wasn't the one in trade discussions all day, for what it's worth.  Holding true and ending my game here outside of my two 7ths which I want to move.

Yep, yep. With regards to the wait, and I apologize to the rest of the group, but the other member hasn't come back online.

I really like Lorenzo Jerome as a small school prospect. Great instincts and ball skills, he's a little small but I think he could eventually be a really good FS in the NFL. Bold prediction: I think he could end up being better than Hooker.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!! I never thought Jerome would be taken by now *insert sad smiley*

I'm of the same feeling. He was on my board as well and I expected him to be there in the 5th or 6th.

Great player. I really like him

Dont believe he is a deep middle prospect though. To me he is more of a robber/underneath destroyer with occasional deep potential. Kind of like a Polamalu type

I definitely thought he'd still be here with my 5th

That's how I felt when you took Kazee from under my nose.

[JO_75]

Even I usually am a lot more excited playing this game but this year. I don't know if its because of limited activity or what but I feel the game is almost at the point of run its course. 

Or maybe the board closing has something to do with it, it doesn't have that feel to it like it has in the past. I hope on the new board we can revive this game next year and make it what it has been in years prior.

[BmoreBird22]

Jordan Leggett is one of the biggest steals in the game so far.

[-Truth-]

I like the Jones pick. As long his head is on straight, he has a ton of potential.

I seem to remember another short ILB with T'rex arms that was hated around here a couple years ago that went on to do well. He then retired of course once you took that team over but still had a good year for himself.

Personally think Davis webb s the best qb in this class and would love the ravens to take him in the 4th

Webb says "double digit" teams have told him that he's a first round pick. So be interesting to see where he ends up in the real draft. 

Think he could end up like Derek Carr and be a steal for someone in the second round.
