Sgt. Ryan Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 A little early to be drafting bye week and backup players, IMHO. This IS an IDP draft, isnt it? 813119[/snapback] Sure is, and I dont think anyone is drafting bye week help and backups just yet. Besides, some are counting on guys to fall, and they simply are not going to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This IS an IDP draft, isnt it? 813119[/snapback] all it takes is for one early July blown knee and your "back-ups" are no longer back-ups. RB is one position where you can never have too many studs.

Perchoutofwater Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 My rookie is better than YOUR rookie. 813110[/snapback] Maybe in a dynasty league, but not in a redraft, with points for receptions. I was hoping for Cadillac here. Think about a bigger, faster, Charlie Garner from a few years ago, when Chucky was coaching the Raiders. While I agree that Brown is the better athlete, Cadillac is in a much better position. If I get the guy I want in the next round, I will be over joyed at my two RB's.

SteelBunz Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Yep....I've only known him 2 days.....and he's begging already. We need to get Rovers in one of our leagues quick! I smell some free money there. Josh? no matter what the reasoning or excuse.....you are BANNED from commenting on anyone taking less than an hour to pick.

Rovers Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sure is, and I dont think anyone is drafting bye week help and backups just yet. Besides, some are counting on guys to fall, and they simply are not going to fall. 813124[/snapback] Hey, if one takes 3 RB's in the first three rounds, spin that any way you want, they took a backup-bye week RB. That was admitted to. And I repeat, too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Dan gave me 3 numbers to reach him. Cell went to voicemail, I left a message, home just rang and rang, and work was busy. He is on AIM, but on his mobile unit. So I left him a message there as well. Hopefully this delay will only be temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one thing to laugh at a pick, but another to speak on something you are not aware of. Which is my draft strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I repeat, too early. 813136[/snapback] Can I ask you a question Rovers? Have you EVER had 3 starting RBs...that actually played all 16 games they were slated for the season? Seems like very long odds....if you ask me. Shoot....the real question might be.....have you ever had 2 go 16 weeks?

Rovers Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) But isnt that the whole point of a ridicule thread? So, Sarge, are ya saying this will be a league? Otherwise, how would we ever know? I'll be out of the house for 30 minutes..... just a warning..... I'll be back by 3:45 EST Edited May 13, 2005 by Rovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't take a RB that high in the draft to sit him on the bench, especially when the two former starters are old as dirt, and not at all effective. I'm glad you are happy with your pick, but I'm a little bit happier with mine. In my pre-ranking I had Brown right behind Cadillac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, how would we ever know? 813144[/snapback] I think we should play it out just for fun, with absolutely no trades, just to see who had the best draft, that way when the 2006 handbook comes out, we can give an update. Edit to add: Rovers, I really liked your draft up until Jordan, I'm just not convienced on him yet.

Otherwise, how would we ever know? 813144[/snapback] Obviously when the draft is over. Not the season, as its a mock draft. And if this was a league, id probably parlay a RB for Manning, when your RBs fall on their arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thought for sure one of either Walker or Johnson would go before I picked. I had Bulluck & Ray in preselect right after them. Happy that I got two of the last 3 top tier WRs. Now to watch the IDP run before my next picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont we all pitch in say $10 to cover the cost of MFL and have $50 left over for the winner. Im sure we can get a paypal account setup relatively easy. Right Frazia.....

Perchoutofwater Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Call me stupid, but I'm really stoked about my two rookie RB's. Like I said earlier, I think Chucky is going to use Cadillac like he used Garner a few years ago in Oakland. Only Cadillac is a better Athlete. I love Arrington where I got him, particularly with points for receptions. He has great hand. I see him being a lot like Marshall Faulk was back in the day. Of all the rookies, Arrington is probably in the best position for this year, and I really like him more than Cadillac, I just figured Arrington would fall, and didn't think Cadillac would.

Now to watch the IDP run before my next picks. 813155[/snapback] I was so tempted to GO with one of those WRs so very tempted...but Walkers situation scared me away a bit and I like AJ but I figured being behind the curve in other positons i might as well start the Def run....I was gonna pencil Ray Ray into one of my 2 picks but thought i would shake it up a bit....Bulluck IMO will be the #1 LB this yr...and you cant argue with the production you get from Edwards...now if all you Fu©ktards can stop drafting RBs RB paid friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yo Bunz? Please make a pick. When its your turn, just have it narrowed down to a couple of players, and select one. You are here. You are online. What are you waiting on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Have a long list of predrafts set, so if there ends up being a duplication of position, oh well...what can I say? I have to run out for the next 90 minutes...should be back in the office by 4:00 Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
