2008 draft discussion

Phicinfan · 07-28-2008, 06:20 AM

Lets here what you think of your picks and what others have taken!

Phicinfan · 07-28-2008, 09:00 AM

Well, we start off with a trade, and end up with LT2 and AP off the board. No real surprises there. Now I need to hear from Danny on what he wants. Anyone heard from him lately?

Sgt John · 07-28-2008, 10:21 AM

Im glad to have Tomlinson on the roster. Tomlinson and a roster of chickens will win 4 games in this league.

FireMillen · 07-28-2008, 10:38 AM

Remember to handcuff your chickens.

Jackson · 07-28-2008, 11:53 AM

That's exactly right, Sarge. I was afraid of 4 win roster of LT and 4 chickens.

Sgt John · 07-28-2008, 12:43 PM

And I didn't want to have to make the choice that would have been there at 9

Phicinfan · 07-28-2008, 12:48 PM

So far, this has fallen pretty much how I expected. Even the early Qb grab on Brady. No real surprises so far.

eaglechick · 07-28-2008, 02:55 PM

:yawn: are we near 14 yet?

Sgt John · 07-28-2008, 03:06 PM

MFL has this new feature, called predrafting, where you can set the system to make picks for you based on a list, while you sleep. Its amazing

eaglechick · 07-28-2008, 03:56 PM

Kick my butt

Sgt John · 07-28-2008, 05:29 PM

OK, is someone trying to swing a deal to move Jackson out the first round?

He has been up since noon, he logged in less than an hour ago and did not make a pick......

I was wondering the same thing. Why make a trade down...and then stall on the pick? Surely he had someone targeted there?

Jackson · 07-28-2008, 07:28 PM

Assuming I know what I'm doing is always a mistake. I was at my brother's place this morning, so I didn't have my draft material. Sorry I had to hold up the first day.

Sgt John · 07-28-2008, 07:33 PM

We figured when you logged in and didnt pick there must have been a point

TurfPro · 07-28-2008, 08:07 PM

I'm hoping for mucho Manning-to-Wayne this season.....

Phicinfan · 07-29-2008, 10:16 AM

Okay...wow...what chatter....sigh.

so lets recap what we have so far:

round 1:9 Rbs (McGahee being the only reach IMO), 1 Qb Brady no real surprise..., 4 Wr's again no real surprises in Moss, Wayne, Owens and Edwards.

round 2: 7Rbs (Maroney to me is a real reach with Jordan signing), 2Qbs ( Romo too early in 2nd IMO), 5Wrs with Colston at bottom of round 2 a steal IMO.

Round 3: 1 Qb so far...panic since Romo gone already..., 5 Rbs so far (lots of issues here.....I don't buy the Ronnie Brown love for a guy off a major knee issue, Jacobs could be a mess with others there...), 3wrs so far with no real surprises there.

All in all everyone is doing a really solid job! Also love the pace...nice job all!

Sgt John · 07-29-2008, 11:37 AM

You created this monster. You have no right to be critical of anyone's picks. Every damn year Ive been in this league the draft has given me fits. Panic drafting is more the rule than the exception in this league. Strangely enough, thats why I like it so much. This, for me, is one of the more difficult leagues to be successful in.

Thankfully Khan is on the schedule for me this year, so Im guarenteed one win.
