:banghead:

Ya, someone is going to have to try pretty hard to take "worst pick of the draft" honors from me.

Hey ChiefAshhole20,

I left you with a stellar team.

Thomas Jones better start. Don't screw it up.

What are the odds? Bryce Brown goes to Anchorage-based teams in both leagues within five minutes of each other.

So CD, who has done nothing but sing the virtues of the auto-pick...didn't turn his on.

Oh well - if anybody's looking to move up, gimme a ring.

Really? Nobody's itching to move up and snag Jeff Allen? I mean c'mon - he's a Scott Pioli Certified 2nd round pick!

Admins, have you guys thought about doing a "News Feed" which for now could just show players being cut. Eventually you could work draft signings, free agent signings, injuries, etc. into the mix.

Nope....pick pick pick. :)

Yeah, we should do that long term, definitely.

grr....Definitely would've preferred Jeffery there. That one didn't come out of left field as badly as Wagner did, but I'm getting awfully tired of watching the guy I'd settled on slide for 10 picks, only to go right in front of me.

Now I just need the Giants to wise up and realize that Hicks and Cruz aren't both worth $7+ million a season. Just trade one of them and/or put Cruz back in the slot and I'll have a damn nice 3rd WR in Randle.

nice pick with Alshon Jeffery..good value.

The next pick should come soon - Foster's gone out for "a drive". Such is the life of a secret smoker....that everyone knows smokes already.

Dang. 2 hours ago I wasn't even close to being on the clock. Went fast.

Are you sure you really wanted Alshon Jeffery? I feel like I could be convinced to take him off your hands.

Fortinately he was at the top of my draft board. Might have been the only plater there when the pick was made.

I wont let you down

As a neutral third party, I have a question for League 1ers.

I have a team in League 2 and am also babysitting two teams that currently don't have an owner. Here are the needs and trade bait of each team. Do we see any fair deals in a two or three team trade that would help both teams?

I list the availability of a player if it's less than 13 games.

Little Rock needs SS, TE, NT if Ellis leaves, C, G, and RB (minor),and has available Nnamdi Asomugha (CB), Tarell Brown (CB), Will Witherspoon (OLB), James Harrison (OLB- 6 games), Aaron Williams (CB - 10 games), and Sedrick Ellis (DT).

Rancho Cucamonga needs WR, C, SS, CB, and RB (minor), and has available Martellus Bennett or Brandon Pettigrew (13 or so games) (TE), Freeney (4-3 DE - 13 or so games), and Eric Winston (RT).

Anchorage needs FS, CB, OLB (minor) and has available Bruce Carter (10 games)/Paris Lenon/Ray Lewis (6 games) (ILB) and possibly Shawn Cody (NT) if they get a DT back.

Vegas wants to move up

I'm excited, it looks like we're getting to my pick today!

Once we get past 100 or whatever, any chance we can reduce the "time remaining" per payer to maybe 30 minutes? I just dont thnk it would be productive to wait an hour just so the cpu could pick Johnie Troutman, or some other slapdick nobody has ever heard of.

Anyone interested in flipping a 4th for Santonio Holmes?

Who wouldn't be eager to get 4 games out of a declining WR with a rookie and/or piece of shit throwing him the ball in 2013?

Can we just give Kyle Stephen Hill and move along? We know he's not going to make his pick. We know he ****ed up and forgot to set his draft board. We know Hill's the 'highest' person on the board by draft order.

The pud pulling is something of a formality at this point, is it not?

Think of it as a future investment.

Holmes could be a 1,000 yard WR in 2013.

I suppose I'd take a high 5th, too.

We'll run with a 30 minute draft clock tomorrow until the end of the draft.

Burris was my next pick... missed him by 6 slots ugh

I don't know that I really NEEDED him, but thought the value was too good right there.

I thought it was very good value - LOL its definitely a need for me

Got my punter. Super Bowl, here we come!!

You punter taking son of a bitch.

Foles lasted until #87 - is he really that bad...

My Qb's are Sanchez, Henne, Hasselback lol

And dont you forget it.

He'll fit right in

one more ****ing pick

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4uqhgZe6s1r3i36m.gif

ill give up 108, 114, 138, and 162 to move up again!

Jesum crow.

You want pick #92?

yep
send it to me

there it is

check your PMs

I was swapping him and Brown out at the top of my draft board all morning. As much as I saw the value and wanted him, I didn't know if I could justify taking 3 wrs with my first 3 picks.

Offer sent for 94.

Go ahead and take the #94, I'm not trading #92.

lol... a kicker.

**** you alex smith bullshit team

Never trust a keeker...

That's Alex D. Smith.

who did you draft blair walsh?

Greg Zuerlein

I would have liked another player there but I really need a kicker. I have Super Bowl aspirations. I'm not letting some stupid FA kicker **** that up.

BTW, I'll dump the rest of my draft for a pick in the 90s. Come at me. 132, 140, 164

I'm looking to move up if anyone is interested

OK, we're into the 100s.

132, 140, 164 still on the table.

Gimme dat chedda.

Available to trade: Madieu Williams

Starting FS for Washington in 2012.
16 game starter
65 tackles with 33 assists (98 all day)
1 sack
1 int returned for a TD
6 passes defended

Currently unsigned, so may not offer much past the 2012 season, but could shore up a secondary for next season at least. Available for mid 2013 draft pick.

You looking for picks?

2013 picks

Looking for 2013 picks in the 5 or 6th round for my 2012 #135 and #159

Casey Hampton available for a defensive tackle

Cedar Rapids having a fine draft...wowza.

Also looking for a healthy rb in the 2nd half and ILB. Don't need upside, just 2012 production - so let me know if you have something at the end of your bench you want to move.

topher, like the deal. I think you just need to click the little accept box on the trade screen to process it.

rocky mcintosh should be able to do a little for ya, interested?

Speaking of ILBs, I'll trade my 2013 1st for one. Or a center.

Haha, AustinChief took Jr Hemingway. What a homer. LMAO

Sent you an offer.

Counter your way.

I got lucky throughout the draft...great talent available that fit my team needs and schemes. Very happy with the draft.

The Freshest Tacos!
 

11 Alfred Morris
35 Kendall Wright
59 A.J. Jenkins
83 Stephen Hill
107 Travis Benjamin
131 Brandon Brooks
155 Jared Crick

The Tacos managed to have a middle of the pack defense, in spite of the bottom 5 in every category offense.
After not being able to resist the value of Alfred Morris, management decided to focus on the one position most in need of an upgrade.
The next four rounds immediately bolstered a receiving corps that consisted solely of Golden Tate.
After giving The Manning weapons for 2012 and beyond, sights were set for the future.
Brandon Brooks and Jared Crick will be able to sit for a year before moving into expanded roles.
We'll still need a couple free agents to make it happen, but the Solar East was the closest division in all the Sandbox and anyone's to take!
Playoffs this year for the Pittsburgh Tacos!

Make sure you guys take forever on these 7th round picks. LMAO

For the love of god people... Turn your auto pick on!!!

Send you a 7th next year for this year's 7th (probably...depending on who's left). Figure you may be more interested in a lottery ticket when the results aren't already in in the next draft.

Just a thought. I'm bored and everyone seems to have disappeared.

And so much for that 30 minute clock, eh?

Next year there absolutely has to be consequences for missing your spot. This is just stupid.

Gonna pick someone with my 7th.

But, you wanna trade Heath Miller? We could talk.

Starting with my League 1 team, here's where we stand.

Duluth entered the draft period with a solid overall team, but some glaring holes. We knew that Rashard Mendenhall had trouble carrying the ground game last year, and could use upgrades at free safety and corner. Center, defensive end, and right tackle looked to be problems from an injury standpoint, and our depth at linebacker was scary.

Recognizing that our low draft spot meant we were unlikely to get a premier rookie running back, we hit the trade market.

Our 1st round pick went for established veteran Frank Gore, a short-term play that we hope pays off.

Blessed with significant depth at guard, we made notable trades of solid players Jon Asamoah and Kory Lichtensteiger, with some draft maneuvering, to pick up DE Justin Tuck to flesh out the defensive line and RT Gosder Cherilus to solidify the right side.

We then swung another deal to pick up FS/CB Ronde Barber to add a high-caliber talent in the defensive backfield. It's another short-term play, but we thought the price was right, trading down only one round to fill a hole.

In the draft, we picked up more talent.

62 Duluth Pillagers Courtney Upshaw - Adds depth and upside, either inside or out.
68 Duluth Pillagers Josh Norman - A starting CB so we can move Ronde Barber to FS
86 Duluth Pillagers LaMichael James - A good kick returner who hopefully can develop and take carries in the backfield
110 Duluth Pillagers Josh Chapman - A good DT prospect who missed his rookie season with a knee injury
134 Duluth Pillagers Richard Crawford - A good nickel or dime back.
144 Duluth Pillagers Corey White - Another good nickel or dime back.
158 Duluth Pillagers Devon Wylie - Purely a lottery play. I think he plays fast and could develop into a good receiver or kick returner.

The only hole that remains unfilled is center, where we have two good long-term centers both of whom are doomed to injuries this season. We'll hit the free agent market to fill that gap.

When is FA?

Self Evaluation for 2012 draft:

1st Round - WR - Justin Blackmon - Grade: B-
The pick itself isn't terrible. Blackmon had a reasonably productive rookie season with a pretty bad QB play. If he keeps his head on straight and stays healthy, he should be a 1,000 yard guy pretty easily in the future.

But the opportunity cost on this pick is huge. Provo is thin at LB, and Wagner should have been the pick here. Poor research and draft board organization.

2nd Round - G - Kevin Zeitler - Grade: B
Nothing sexy about this pick, but my hands were pretty much tied. I'm going into 2012 with one healthy guard, and there was a solid 16 game starter left on the board. There was certainly better talent on the board, but I had to fill that gaping hole.

3rd Round - CB - DeQuan Menzie - Grade: :facepalm:
What a dumpster fire this pick was. I threw Menzie on my board to remind me to take a late round flier on him if talent was running thin, and I guess I never moved him down. I didn't think there was any way we were getting to my pick while I was unavailable Friday morning, so I didn't spend time arranging my board Thursday night. Boy, was I wrong. If I wasn't owner-GM, someone would have fired my ass.

4th Round - DT - Billy Winn - Grade: C-
I just didn't have the time to research this pick that I needed. Winn played pretty well last year, but I still drafted a backup 3-4 DE to play in the 4-3. There had to be better options out there for me here.

5th Round - DE - Olivier Vernon - Grade: B
He had 3.5 sacks in 2012 as a backup. Not going to see increased playing time with Jordan in the fold now, but I think he's got potential if someone gets injured or moved.

6th Round - FB - Evan Rodriguez - Grade: B
Another pretty boring pick, but Rodriguez played relatively well in 2012. It's an immediate upgrade to my current roster (at least for the 2012 season) so I consider that a successful 6th rounder.

7th Round - CB - Coty Sensabaugh - Grade: B+
Decent Nickel option, and I think there's a lot of value here for a 7th rounder.

Ahahaa Menzie

You're right, I needed to edit that grade.

Here comes Mr. Irrelevant

What's next?
