Mad Brad 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Check this out rookie draft finished up today from Tuesday... 13 picks and barely a WR in the bunch... Take a look... MB 1.01 Peterson, Adrian MIN RB 1.02 Lynch, Marshawn BUF RB 1.03 Johnson, Calvin DET WR 1.04 Jackson, Brandon GBP RB 1.05 Russell, JaMarcus OAK QB 1.06 Bush, Michael OAK RB 1.07 Henry, Chris TEN RB 1.08 Booker, Lorenzo MIA RB 1.09 Meachem, Robert NOS WR 1.10 Hunt, Tony PHI RB 1.11 Quinn, Brady CLE QB 1.12 Leonard, Brian STL RB 1.13 Hackett, D.J. SEA WR Wed May 16 6:27:57 p.m. ET One team got... C. Johnson, M. Bush and B. Quinn another team got... B. Jackson, C. Henry, and R. Meachem... I thought the RB run while usually expected was somewhat interesting, and left many good WR's still available for Round 2 next month... and WHO is the next best QB???? D. Stanton??? J. Beck ??? or Other ??? Or would you take D. Culpepper or Tarvaris Jackson over either of these two??? MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XToday 0 Posted May 17, 2007 So what's the deal with Tony Hunt? Is he a legit threat someday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryChinaski 1 Posted May 17, 2007 I think Robert Meachem is going to have somewhat instant success. He is going to be starting opposite Colston, day 1. He will beat out Devery and Copper, hands down, for that number 2 slot. Plus, Colston is going to demand most of the double teams. I could honestly see Meachem and Colston having very similar numbers this year, with Meachem taking over that number 1 slot, very soon. I know that its way too early to tell for sure, but just off of potential alone, along with that great offense, I think Meachem can be a steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SEA WR Brian Leonard?? He's a FB!?! Good to see what's being picked though... I'll be involved in a Rookie only draft come August... and am looking for some rankings to base it on. I would have thought Calvin would go #1 though - but, depending on that team's need... who knows. I have #9 pick, hopefully some good talent still avail.

Dr. Octopus 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Brian Leonard?? He's a FB!?! Not really. He moved to FB last season for Rutgers for the good of the team, as Rice is a budding star, but was a HB his first three years. He will be used as a FB/HB hybird in the NFL catching alot of balls and spelling Jackson occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't see his value being that high, even in a rookie-only draft, but I guess there isn't much else out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voice_Of_Reason 0 Posted May 17, 2007 I'd say the biggest shock is not seeing Dwayne Bowe drafted yet. He should be the next one gone. He's likely to be the #1 soon for the Chefs. I'da taken Bowe before several of those guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted May 17, 2007 I'd say the biggest shock is not seeing Dwayne Bowe drafted yet. He should be the next one gone. He's likely to be the #1 soon for the Chefs. I'da taken Bowe before several of those guys. i would concur with this, based on the draft as it appears, it seems as though perhaps the scoring system somehow favors RB's and QB's a bit...

Mad Brad 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Actually it's a regular Dynasty 12 team/ 20 roster, PPR league... and I agree Bowe should have been selected yesterday... He will prolly go 2:2 to my buddy, 2:1 looks to be A. Gonzalez... We will know for sure on June 15th when the next round begins... I agree though some reaches here for sure... At least Ted Ginn did not get in there Or I'd really go MB ps I'd have to say if your looking for a new team in a very well run league... www.glffl.com is a great place to pick one up, there are leagues with openings, and they run a great "hub" of leagues for serious ff players...

What is the deal? 1 Posted May 20, 2007 No Dwayne Jarrett either...I'm amazed. I've seen Booker falling as far as the 3rd round. I have 5 picks in the 2nd round in my 12 teamer. I'll be ecstatic if the 1st round looks like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will be used as a FB/HB hybird in the NFL catching alot of balls and spelling Jackson occasionally. So he wasn't good enough to be a HB on, uh, Rutgers, but he'll get carries in the NFL? He's a backup at best, and is a worthless rookie pick unless you have SJAX. He's a cuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ras66not99 0 Posted May 20, 2007 So he wasn't good enough to be a HB on, uh, Rutgers, but he'll get carries in the NFL? Obviously you've never seen a Rutgers game or a Ray Rice carry, but oh well.... Not really. He moved to FB last season for Rutgers for the good of the team, as Rice is a budding star, but was a HB his first three years. He will be used as a FB/HB hybrid in the NFL catching alot of balls and spelling Jackson occasionally. agreed.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cinciman7 2 Posted May 21, 2007 1.13 Hackett, D.J. SEA WR Wed May 16 6:27:57 p.m. ET I'm confused. 12 team league and 1.13? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Brad 0 Posted May 21, 2007 I'm confused. 12 team league and 1.13? LOL... I recieved an extra draft pick in the 1st round of the rookie draft for winning the toilet bowl last year... LOL I was the best of the worst last season, thus Bonus pick... With it I moved up 2 spots from 1:13 to 1:11 and took quinn... Just like in the real draft... My buddy took Hackett at 1:13, and moved up in the 4th... MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swamp dog 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Sure. Colston was extremely out of shape last year at the rookie mini-camp, as well. That sure turned out horribly. Care to re-evaluate your stance? I'll let you. lol...you're obviously a saints homer, eh? be my guest: draft meachem and have yourself an ff field day. you've got it figured all out. no need for any more input. that aside, i call your bluff about colston being "way out of shape" last year at this time: http://www.kffl.com/player/13701/nfl/news that's a synopsis of all the news about colston last year. digging deeper there's nothing that shows him coming to camp 19 pounds overweight like meachem (which would have put him in the 260-ish range) and only stories about him impressing early and impressing often. aside from that, it's foolish to completely ignore this concrete information we do have: meachem showed up fat and out-of-shape to the saints mini-camp. at the very least it's a big red flag. not the type of info you poo-poo and completely dismiss as being irrelevant. guys like colston don't show up to their first dress rehearsals nearly 20 pounds overweight. guys like mike williams and mr. white do, though. let's hope meachem sees the light and sees it soon.
