Ha ha. Good call.

[Infinity]

haha, beat me to it!

 

I tried to format but figured i'd do it later. It's a real biotch.

 

All we need is YODT and the best Rookie Draft ADP in the world will be posted

 

EDIT: I guess i will speak about all my picks.

 

I ended up trading Marshawn Lynch amongst some other stuff to get the 1.01 before the NFL Draft happened. After seeing how the draft played out i realized i would be able to get Either Daniel Thomas or maybe even Ingram if i traded back 2-3 spots.

 

Made the trade with Trey, got the 1.04 and CJ Spiller for the 1.01.

 

But Here's my logic for my picks.

 

1.04 4 Infinity Thomas, Daniel MIA RB ® - Really a great scenario. Both the vets are free agents and this guy has potential to do some nice things. Plus i needed help bad at RB.

 

3.02 34 Infinity Powell, Bilal NYJ RB ® - i was very excited to see both Powell and j. Rodgers still available here. Rodgers is most likely currently viewed as the successor of michael turner. That could change with a pick. LT isn't getting any younger. This will likely be his last season. He will be ahead of Joe McKnight in the depth charts. Then it's just him and Greene and the jets like to run a 2 RB system i think he'll be a great flex for a while.

 

5.02 66 Infinity McElroy, Greg NYJ QB ® - I really wanted to go QB here, it was between him and Tyrod Taylor. Simply McElroy is incredibly smart, late round pick to be a solid backup. If Sanchez needs to take his normal 1-2 game injury break he'll most likely step in. Also compared to brady in a few ways. People say he was only good because of the team that surrounded him, he makes plays and only had 3 losses on his record. He knows how to win. I'll take the risk on him here.

 

5.15 79 Infinity Clay, John FA RB ® - It was between him or Mark Dell FA WR, here. Both guys undrafted with potential that is overlooked. Ultimately after doing research, Clay has better upside. he went undrafted largely due to his poor 40 time of 4.7 at his pro day and a 4.9 at the combine. Careers aren't made or broken based on combine performances. He'll get a shot somewhere and i feel he will end up as a Brandon Jacobs type of guy. he was a really tough player in college, if he can do it at the next level he'll go big.

The word is getting out on Johnny White. I was able to get him in the 7th round of a 14 team IDP draft two weeks ago, and also grabbed him in the mid 5th of the 16 team ATAP IDP draft last week. He just at the last pick of the 2nd round in a 14 team IDP last night where D players score lightly.

 

Don't sleep on that kid.

 

Couple of others I want to comment on but will wait because I'm in the thick of that last 14 teamer.

[bpwallace49]

2.04 20 BPWallace Dalton, Andy CIN QB ®

2.08 24 BPWallace Young, Titus DET WR ®

3.04 36 BPWallace White, Johnny BUF RB ®

4.15 63 BPWallace McKnight, Scotty NYJ WR ®

 

I am happy with my draft . . . I needed Dalton as I have Carson Palmer, I traded down, then back up for Titus Young, I like Johnny WHite for Buffalo and Scotty Mcknight was a shot in the dark as he is also Mark Sanchez's BFF . . .

Pick Franchise Selection Comments

1.06 - Cantankerous Idiots - Little, Greg CLE WR ® - I hope to be a monster, considering what I paid for Jerome Simpson

1.08 - Cantankerous Idiots - Leshoure, Mikel DET RB ® - I have Best and I think this guy will have relevance

1.09 - Cantankerous Idiots - Baldwin, Jon KCC WR ® - I honestly like this kids situation. I think he is slated for a big year.

2.02 - Cantankerous Idiots - Ponder, Christian MIN QB ® - Personally, I think he's the only guy that will make an impact out of this class.

2.13 - Cantankerous Idiots - Pettis, Austin STL WR ® - I think he's a real sleeper here. McDaniels hopefully used him like he did Lloyd.

3.06 - Cantankerous Idiots - Housler, Robert ARI TE ® - AZ lacks a good TE. He could be a monster here.

3.08 - Cantankerous Idiots - Thomas, Julius DEN TE ® - It's a Fox offense so Thomas might be totally irrelevant, but his skill set might make him awesome

3.15 - Cantankerous Idiots - Green, Virgil DEN TE ® - Might be the cheapest sleeper in the entire draft

4.01 - Cantankerous Idiots - Durham, Kris SEA WR ® - Second biggest sleeper in the entire draft

4.08 - Cantankerous Idiots - Ausberry, David OAK WR ® - He's big so who knows???

[G.K.Trey]

Trading 1.04 and Spiller for the 1.01 and the chance to draft AJ Green was a no brainer in my opinion. I also need a WR to build my corp around and I think AJ Green is going to be spectacular.

 

Then having Ingram fall to me @ 1.03 was too good to be true, and i can now boast a trio of Ingram ,J Charles and R Matthews @ the Rb spot.(Would have taken Thomas here if Ingram went 1.02)

 

Hankerson @ 1.10 was great value (liked Baldwin and Hankerson as #3/4 WR off Board) as 2 other WRs went off board before i think they should which gave me a shot at one of my targets here.

 

Cam Newton @1.11, while I am not sold on him, I think he has the potential to be the best of the bunch and possibly special. I only have Sanchez as my QB of anynote , so I think it was worth the shot.

 

Kendricks TE @ 2.03 I think the TE in best situation , talented but young QB, no receivers of note .If you know our leagu u know if u don't have a TE u are in trouble.

 

Alex Green @ 2.11 , I had the 2.10 and had both Carter an Green on my sights liked both, traded down 1 spot picked up some fa $ and took Green. I am happy to take a shot with the uncertainty at RB in GB.

 

J. Rodgers @ 3.03, RB loading at this point ,liked JWhite as well here but decided I didnt like buf offense or rb sit. Rodgers could be 3rd down back right away.

 

Da'rel Scott 4.03 continue to add to my stable of rb's, really a homer pick, but also could se some action this year if Ware were to get injured. and could be useful 2 yrs down road.

He was one I was shooting for but I'm also scared about his potential. McDaniels isn't known for including TE's in his offensive scheme but I think Kendricks could almost be used as a receiver as big as that cat is.

[BearBroncos]

Holy crap! You know we only have seven DTS spots! I see the guys you currently have on DTS are all dropable.

 

LOL, I'll have plenty of room when everything is said and done. I'd rather have too much to chose from rather than too little.

 

you had the best draft in our league.

 

I agree. Trey gets the gold star.

[BearBroncos]

Offer received

[electricrelish]

This draft was very disappointing as I got no one that I thought would fall to me, but I still got some worthy taxi squad players to develop. I only had four picks spread out in the 4th and 5th rounds, since I mortgaged my future last season thinking I could win it all, but was doomed by injuries.

 

4.06 54 ElectricRelish Harper, Jamie TEN RB - I really wanted Allen Bradford who went right before me. I ended up settling for Harper, who could be a nice chance of pace handcuff for Chris Johnson. It's not that Javon Ringer isn't doing a good job, but I don't think they want to resign him for more money for backup duty, so they just decided to reload. Harper could be better than just a backup, at 5-foot-11, 233 pounds, he could possibly be a complimentary piece to the rushing attack that Jeff Fisher had intended for LaGarette Blount. Basically, I took the best talent on the board. Too bad I don't have Chris Johnson.

 

4.09 57 ElectricRelish Royster, Evan WAS RB - I had hoped DJ Williams would fall to me, so I would have him as insurance for my starting TE Jermichael Finley, but he went right after I took Harper. Royster was not someone I had targeted, but I figured if he reminded Mike Shannahan of another sixth rounder Terrell Davis, then Royster was worth a shot. As you know, every RB on a Shannahan team can have significance no matter what round they're drafted or even if they're undrafted. Royster's not that fast, but he doesn't go down easily. I like him for 4th round value.

 

5.09 73 ElectricRelish Sanzenbacher, Dane FA WR- Sanzenbacher is only 5'11", but he is a precise route runner and a solid slot receiver. I was surprised he wasn't drafted. Where he lands if we have training camp will be a deciding factor at his chances, but I've circled him as a worthy player to develop on my taxi squad.

 

5.1 74 ElectricRelish Yates, Taylor HOU QB - My last pick, so I figured I'll join the year of the rookie QB draft and get one myself. Why not go with the guy from my alma mater. He's listed as Taylor Yates, but everyone in Carolina knows him as T.J. Texans Coach Gary Kubiak said that Yates reminds him of Matt Schaub. Under Kubiak's tutelage, Yates could develop into something given a couple of years to learn. I don't see Dan Orlovsky staying on past this season. Given Schaub's injury past, if Yates develops, he could be next in line for some starting snaps in a couple of years.

I'm a Kendricks fan as a Badger. I don't like his situation at all. McDaniels doesn't get any kind of consistent productions from his TEs and he was trained that way in NE. TE was a black hole in DEN under McDaniels. He's trained to want to throw the ball down the field and to use his slot receiver as his hot route/slant target. You also have Uh Oh recovering and coming back, and it looked like he can play at the NFL level, so Kendricks has no lock on the predominance of the TE reps.

 

I was hoping Kendricks would be an Owens clone, but I just don't see it in STL as long as McDaniels is there.

The fortunatel thing for Kendrick's, however, is that Bradford loves his TE's so there is a chance that McDaniels plays to his strengths. But I agree, it doe's scare me. I drafted in my IDP league because all I have is Owens in hopes that he does blossem..

[Bronco Billy]

You do know that McDaniels traded away one of 13 QBs in NFL history (and the 2nd youngest to do it) to throw for 4500+ yds before he ever had a chance to coach the guy because McDaniels felt that Cutler couldn't fit "his" system, right?

and Belicheck, whom he was under in NE , used his TE's a little more this year then before. People can chage to fit their personel, not always gonna happen but still possible.

McDaniels won't be cutting ANYONE for a very long time. He has a great understanding of the offense, but I admitted how wrong I was in regards to his HC skills. It'll be years before he gets another chance to HC a team. Even then, I don't think an owner will give him that pwer to make those type of decisions.

I don't think the Rams drafted Kendricks to block. OC Josh McDaniels knows what he has in Kendricks ability to pass catch. I believe he's going to try and emulate what he saw New England do with Aaron Hernandez and Ron Gronkowski.

[delusions of grandeur]

With depth needs at nearly every position, but plenty of flex spots to give me options, it was BPA with an emphasis on players who might at least provide depth sooner than later, if not be big contributors:

 

1.15 - Randall Cobb GBP WR - even the doubters such as PON admit that Jordy and James Jones had some big drops at key times, and I think he's far too talented for either one to keep the ball out his hands. With Finley and Jennings able to stretch the D, Cobb could have alot of room to get open (or work his magic even if not) with a top QB throwing to him... And even if I'm wrong here, he should still carry some value in that high-powered offense.

 

2.10 - Delone Carter IND RB - Actually even thought about him for the 1.15, but a near no-brainer here. He's set to get a good opportunity to at least be the goal-line back that's been lacking for the Colts. There were still players with more upside like Jaquizz Rodgers here, but none a safer short-term bet than Carter.

 

3.11 - Taiwan Jones OAK RB - His tremendous explosiveness might earn him a role sooner if Bush leaves or when DMC has his yearly injury. However, at 6-1/194 from a AA school with some injury risk, the Jamaal Charles comparisons are asking a little bit much. My hope is for a solid PPR RB2/3 in time, and worth the 3rd round gamble to see if he pans out..

 

4.11 - Ricky Stanzi KCC QB - Needed a QB in the works, but value never presented itself until here. Apparently many scouts did not like what they saw in person, but he looks impressive in much of his game film. With all the weapons KC is accumulating, I see a lot of reasons to take a late-round flier.

 

5.11 - Anthony Allen BAL RB - Note to Ray Rice owners, Parmele and McClain are not threats for playing time, but this power back could fill McGahee's role or at least be the handcuff to own. To be honest, I didn't do much homework on the 5th rounders, so I'm not sure why so many teams passed on him (other than it being a very deep class and GT's triple-option offense not translating well to the pros), but as a Ray Rice owner, he could be a cheap valuable handcuff and maybe even emergency start in time.
