thanks kyle hopefully we can make sure this draft keeps going or we may not finish this draft till next season.

Carson Plamer, QB

unable to PM

Thats a pretty good combo, but I don't think any of us have a chance of touching Rain Man's duo.

Suggs was one of the players I considered at the Clady pick for sure though.

And the last two QBs pretty much ensure that the Super-Manatees will have trouble at QB.

rockio is up. I'll send him a note, but since he hasn't made his previous pick yet, I'll see if someone else can step in.

5. Kansas City Kings - Osi Umenyiora, DE
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - James Harrison OLB/DE
3. Honolulu Hulas - Jerrod Mayo MLB
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Haloti Ngata NT
1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Albert Haynesworth DT

Round 3
1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Justin Tuck DE
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Ryan Clady, OT
3. Honolulu Hulas - Joe Flaco, QB
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - Terrell Suggs, OLB/DE
5. Kansas City Kings - Vince Wilfork, NT
6. San Antonio Scorpions - Carson Palmer, QB

That's the truth. He might be considering the 4-3 under? One pass rushing DE and one rush backer. Maybe have Ware on the line in a 4-3?

I like my guys, but I think Flacco and Palmer were the last of the top-end QBs. I might have to get Trent Dilfer and hope for a Ravens-type season.

Good news is you'll have a high pick in the draft, that ensures you Josh Freeman or better. :)

If we don't hear from rockio, I'll recruit a guest drafter to catch his team up.

Two thoughts for people:


1. Instead of stopping the draft at 33 players, what would y'all think about drafting in Round 34 a team, and filling out the rest of the roster from unclaimed players on that team? I've been a little worried about whether the lower roster limit would limit people's ability to draft developmental players.

2. What would y'all think about setting up divisions? At the end of the year, we could have people vote on the winner from each division, and then we would vote on 1 to 1 matchups in the playoffs. We have 19 teams, so we'd probably go with four divisions of five teams each (one division having only four teams). I'd probably do it by region of the nation where the teams are located. We'd then have other votes to figure out the exact rankings and draft order of the following year.

Both sound like pretty good ideas to me.

I pm'd rockio on nfldc forums. I forgot he was from there.

Awesome. Thanks!

How about this for divisions?

Alternately, we could go with 7 3-team divisions, with one wild-card slot for the playoffs, as follows:

i like the 5 divisions but how would you do the playoffs? one wildcard team?

You're right. Five divisions wouldn't work. We'd need four, with one team from each division making the playoffs. How about:
