Yes indeed the art of the inane and absurd. The art of the socially inept and insecure. The folly of the weakest characters among us.

I Got Draftabulator Fever

By FAX.

I got draftabulator fever, there ain't no doubt,
So, read this post while I cuss you out.
I'll call you names if you don't like my picks.
How can you tell? They're asterisks.

I got draftabulator fever, my skin is thin.
I get pissed off when the Chiefs win.
'Cause it proves our draft selections,
Ain't livin' up to my projections.

I got draftabulator fever, yeah I'm hot,
I need a doctor, I need a shot,
To cool me down. Oh, Holy Moley,
I'm gonna ass rape Scott Pioli.

Oh Lord, I got draftabulator fever,
And there ain't no cure, no pain reliever.
Yeah, it feels like I got real bad gas,
Or an flaming aids tree up my ass.

Call me out, I'll show you meanness,
I'll say you got a real small penis.
Then I'll post all the stuff you said,
Back before Goodman was dead.

I'll remind you of what you mentioned
And do it with such condescension,
That next year, you'll pick all receivers
'Cause baby I got draftabulator fever.

FAX

A++. Robert Johnson couldna said it any better.

Mr Fax I'm beginning to think you are a genius.

Humorous that FAX guy is.

(Oh, and the song was a repost.)

It's a process.

Since this thread has officially lost its burst, I'd like to take this opportunity to laugh at Hamas's sig line. He picks out a 7th round draft pick to rail against, and the guy makes the team two years in a row. It's perfect. He rails against an inconsequential long-shot, and that guy makes the team two years in a row.

Inconsequential, my ass.

LMAO

Let's play Funny/Not Funny!
Not Funny!

Funny!

How is whether or not your random 7th rounder makes the team of any real consequence? If you want to make a bold statement and take up a cause, make it worthwhile. Cut Matt Cassel or Tyson Jackson or something, not some pissant 7th rounder.

Do I really have to go over with you the amount of 7th rounders and UDFAs that become valuable components of a team? The 7th round is just as much an opportunity to get better as any other.

As any other? No.

Railing against a 7th rounder is like predicting a happy ending in a Disney movie. That said, he still got it wrong...as usual.

Why start a crusade to cut a 7th round pick? Maybe I'll start a crusade not to sign Todd Reesing.

He could be onto something here. Let's trade our 2011 first rounder for every 7th rounder.

ROFL I almost spit my banana on the screen.

Misinterpretation.

OTW was this happy only because Cassel played terribly.

You so should have had Wendy rap that.

Best poem ever! :clap:

****ing awesome.

And completely true in describing those bitches.

I THINK THAT I WOULD BE ANNOYED WITH HOOTIE A LOT LESS IF....

he actually constructed posts

in REAL SENTENCES

and maybe an occasional paragraph...

that WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO READ

as it is

I find myself just skimming his posts

and not really having a GOD DAMN CLUE

wtf he is talking about...


(Sorry, I know it's not a good impersonation, but I have trouble NOT writing in complete sentences.)

I'd be less annoyed with Hootie.....if he didn't act like such a whiny bitch.

I figured after 10+ pages of yelling and cussing that I'd just remind everyone. :grouphug:

SHUT UP MR. PLOWZ, YOU HAVE TEH ZERO CREDIBILITY!!!!!11111/Hootie.

I love you even though your words hurt.

LMAO

uhhh

:redface:

This.

(And FYP)

I've been posting like that since I was 17 years old...it's my style :)

Hootie is and idiot/ thread

You should try a new style. It is impossible to read.

Cool.

I have absolutely ZERO issues with no one reading a thing that I post.

So, you can either get over it...or not read what a post. I promise you I don't care either way.

Take care.

This thread is one of the best in years. I have laughed until I have been in tears many of times.

Hootie goes on a rampage and FAX produces another Hall of Fame Draftabulator memory...

This is a great great day and thread.

I'd be a lot less annoyed with Hootie if his mother had swallowed.

ROFL

I will also vouch for him. He is a huge Chiefs fan. Just a little on the pessimistic side at times. :) Everyone in our section was jumping, high fiving, and left with smiles on our faces.

I'd be a lot more impressed with you if you didn't attract leaches like Raised on Rimjobs as your lackeys...

Oh noes! The FAIL Wagon doesn't like me!

Kumbaya, my Lord. Kumbaya.

Imagine what this place would be like had we lost. LMAO

A 600 post thread titled "To The True Fans"?

I don't think it matters much how this team fares.

There are so many posters here that it's inevitable that some are not going to like each other.

Dont worry Milkman... I like you... I just like to pull your stings also...

:D

Try 10 of them, at least half of which would have motherf*** in the title.

I was not as clear as I could have been. I didn't mean to quantify how much better of an opportunity one round can be vs another round. I was merely saying that the 7th round, like the 1st or 2nd et al, is an opportunity by which teams can and do improve themselves.

Got it wrong? How? O'Connell is one of the worst players in the entire NFL. Are you saying Hamas is wrong because Jake has made the roster? That's curious logic. I guess people are wrong about Cassel because, hey, he's on the roster. He must be good! Mike Brown wasn't terrible last year - he was starting! All starters are inherently good!

I never said it was a bold statement, nor was I taking up a cause, you're just butthurt and are looking for a reason to bitch about me.

When I've started an inverse-Scanlon campaign against O'Connell, let me know. That said, he's one of the worst players I've ever seen suit up for the Chiefs.

Jake Oconnel does suck bad, but so do AT LEAST 90% of all 7th rounders. At least he had the size/speed combination to be a half way decent gamble that late in the draft.

Page
Succop

Most teams dont have two 7th rounders that have contributed as much as those two have to our team in recent years. Thats two out of the last 5 years that have been valuable NFL players.

Cant win em all.

...

That said, **** Jake Oconnel with a rusty fork

Link?

link to what exactly? His 40 time?

The fact he is 6'3 250 and ran a good 40 time for that size:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profil...nell?id=238500

...O'Connell ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 and 4.69 seconds and posted a 41-inch vertical jump.

Thats a decent size/speed combo for a 7th rounder.

Thanks for playing.

...

now, where is that rusty fork...

You can't compare Cassel or Brown to O'Connel. Pioli has nothing invested in Jake. He could have cut him, and it wouldn't have been looked at as a huge waste. You are smarter than this. He earned his way onto the roster. Twice.

You've got about a 90% chance of randomly picking a 7th rounder to be cut, and the guy still made the team. Twice. If you predicted that Dennis Kucinich would not be the 2012 Republican nominee for President, I'd probably shit my pants.

No, a link to the claims that "at least 90% of 7th rounders suck bad" and "most teams don't have two 7th rounders who have contributed to the Chiefs as much as [Page and Succop]."

I can't believe this thread is still alive. Link? Repost!!

I really enjoy a good Kucinich Joke, so thanks.

+rep

If you need a link to figure those are true and cant figure it out all by yourself, you aren't worth spending any more time talking to.

Have fun in Tuscaloosa you big, bad draftabulator wanna be.

But please do continue to ask me stupid questions...it has been fun.

thanks again for playing.

You're getting testy with me. :(

You just threw those figures out there like I thought you did. It wouldn't surprise me if more teams find value in the 7th round than you think.

LMAO LMAO LMAO Oh no, you di'int!!!

JFC

If you think Im wrong, do some damn homework and prove Im wrong...otherwise this is just another instance of pwnage.

Ill be waiting.

Figured I'd lend a hand.

40 selections in the 2005 draft 7th round. 3 players still with their original team (Fanene, Ratliff, Mruczkowski). 3 players started game 1 of 2010 season. 8 players suited up for game 1 of 2010. Personally, I only see one good pick out of the 2005 7th round (Ratliff), but I'll let you guys fight over the appropriate percentage of good picks.


Billy Bajema - TE - STL - 1 Games started 2010 (2009 - 5 starts, 16 games)
Ryan Fitzpatrick - QB - BUF - 0 Games played 2010 (2009 - 8 starts, 10 games)
Madison Hedgecok - FB - NYG - 1 Games played 2010 (2009 - 9 starts, 16 games)
Scott Mruczkowski - C - SD - 1 Games played 2010 (2009 - 13 starts, 14 games)
Hamza Abdullah - DB - ARZ - 1 Games played 2010 (2009 - 0 starts, 1 games)
Jonathan Fanene - DE - CIN - 1 Games played 2010 (2009 - 10 starts, 16 games)
Jay Ratliff - NT - DAL - 1 Games started 2010 (2009 - 16 starts, 16 games)
Matt Cassel - QB - KC - 1 Games started 2010 (2009 - 15 starts, 15 games)
Rod Wilson - LB - JAC - 0 Games played 2010 (2009 - 0 starts, 8 games)
Kevin Vickerson - DT - DEN - 1 Games played 2010 (2009 - 2 starts, 13 games)

Of the 46 2006 draft 7th round picks, 12 are still on rosters. Only 3 starters again. I see one good pick, (Colston), but will let you all argue over the rest.

Quinton Ganther
Ben Obomanu
David Anderson
Marques Colston
Dave Tollefson
Jarrad Page
Devin Aomashodu
Will Montgomery
Pat McQuistan
Zach Strief
Fred Evans
Cortland Finnegan

Looking at the numbers, it looks like 80% of of 7th rounders are gone in 3-4 years, with only 3 getting serious playing time.

Guess it depends on your opinion of "sucks bad". Obviously at least 80% (unemployed) meet this criteria. I would have to guess that at least half of the remaining meet the level of "Matt Cassel Sucks Bad". I'm going to round down the 90% estimate to 85%.

:D

If the field wasn't wet, They tie the game.

unlurking must be bored tonight.

Yeah, but thankfully not bored enough to try and do an actual analysis. Voice still cracking from Monday night, but starting to come down from the high!

Bull****. He has more career penalty yards than receiving yards.

You also seem to conflate prediction with desire, which are discrete entities. Then again, I'm not surprised.

who gives a shit?

he's a 7th round pick ROFL

oh my god

get over it

You seem to think I'm on a crusade. I'm merely dispelling the idea that he earned his way on to the roster. He didn't. He's a terrible ****ing football player.

But he IS taking up a roster spot, is he not?

Dave Tollefson, from my alma mater of Northwest Missouri State University. Booya.

He's actually two seventh round picks. Pioli traded up for him.

meh

So is Cassel. O'Connell only bothers me when he takes the field. Hamas' sig doesn't bother me, I was just curious about 7th round pick values.

7th round picks are very valuable, but I'm a draftnik.

You can pick up quality starting offensive lineman, tight ends, running backs, and special teamers in the seventh round. You can find linebackers and safeties. And a backup quarterback or two. And you don't have to fight other teams for the player.

yeah they are SOOOO valuable ROFL

almost as valuable as undrafted free agents...

almost

Actually, I meant for "winning" teams.

6 starters out of 86 players so far and that is 93% fail rate for players not becoming starters out of the 7th round.

Booya

Even if you go by the parameters (that seem fair) set forth by unlurker (thanks BTW man rep on the way) it seems my claim was only 5% off...pretty close for an educated guess

I may be wrong, but I think we traded a future 7th rounder to take Jake that year, I don't think we traded two 7th rounders to move up to select him...did we? I admittedly didnt follow the trade that closely, I pretty much write off 7th rounders as "he wont amount to shit, if he does it is a complete bonus"

Here's the problem with a guy like O'Connell on the roster: He doesn't add any value to the team. Not offensively, defensively or even special teams.

Hey, if the Chiefs believe that O'Connell is raw but with talent, I have no problem with a guy like that on the practice squad. He'll still get reps and have an opportunity to prove his worth.

But a guy like O'Connell, at least from what we've all seen, doesn't deserve a roster spot. Fill it with guys like Andy Studebaker, Wallace Gilberry or even Tim Castille, a guy that has bounced around the league for a while but brings a certain value to the squad (and for the record, I'm fan of all three. Castille proved his worth the moment he was acquired on waivers).

Just don't give it to a guy because you drafted him, especially when he's downright awful.

It was a 7th in 2009 and a 7th in 2010, hence no 7th round in 2010.

Its not like we have to worry about somebody "stealing him" from our practice squad.

There has to be something with this kid they REALLY like that is totally unnoticeable in his play so far.

I wonder what it is...

They ARE valuable, whether it's player acquisition, trades or trade ups.

You may not recall but there was a time when the draft was eight rounds and before that, twelve rounds.

And I'm sure that the Houston Texans are really bummed that Arian Foster wasn't drafted by someone else instead of being available as an undrafted free agent.
