Slim pickins! James Allen at least played every game last year. Not bad at 8.1.

It's a shame he won't play every game this year.

[Guest Smitty]

Slim Pickins?? Just wait until we get to round 22!

[Guest Scorpion]

Hey, AT, do you have a list from RK or are we stalled until tomorrow?

[Guest Smitty]

A little early for Vick? Maybe. I am set at my starting positions and already have some depth. I really wanted Vick on my roster and thought I would pull the trigger as I didn't want to lose out on him. Gannon has 2 years left and Vick will slide right in as my starter when he retires.

[Guest Scorpion]

NICE PICK Smitty.. about time you got some youth

 

I was hoping he'd continue to plummet to my next pick. Guess NOT! He was next on my list.

Jackson after that. You guys are KILLING me!

Look who's talking! Your team is ready for social security!

[Guest Scorpion]

So am I!

[Guest Ditkanate]

you could have waited at least 5 rounds before picking Vick.... dumbstupid

[Guest Smitty]

Actually, I was thinking of tepidjoe's team. Yours is too young! Get some players who will produce this year too!

As it turns out, Squatchy would have taken your D but not until the 8th round. Coulda had Thrash.....

 

Seeing as how I have done a good job of drafting, I can afford to take a risk, you on the other hand cannot. Your team blows goats that Russell Crowe wouldn't even bang!

[Guest Scorpion]

I thought I had...

 

Pittman (?) Faulk, Tomlinson (will produce), Griese, Brown and Crowell will all play.

(IF PITTMAN DOESN'T BEAT ANYONE ELSE UP!)

Ha! Let's see... hmmmm.... Randy Moss and ummmm.. maybe Terrell Davis and then ummmm.. ahhhh... errrr.r... a bunch of old scrubs who could hold Russell Crowe's jockstrap! Excellent job drafting.

Si. I show them as wr since we play them as such.

[Guest Smitty]

Scorp have any picks left for SC?

[Guest Jwood]

Between McKardell and Glenn, SC's got some wuss ass receivers. She'd better pick up another strong one, somewhere.

[Guest Scorpion]

Just made it... even if I'm out, she's letting me pick (stupid her)

 

Ryan sent me 2 picks, but one of them was taken.... I could make one for him here, but I'll let him do it. I think I know who he wants... we'll wait.

Yeah, but she's gotta start at least 2.

[Guest Smitty]

What's wrong with McCardell??? He's a solid WR2.

When he's healthy.

[Guest Scorpion]

You'll be eating SC's dust...

[Guest Ditkanate]

Smith is the one that's not healthy, McCardell had like 90+ catches last year for frigging out loud.

[Guest Scorpion]

Is Torrid or CM..T around? I'll have to bail in 30 mins. I may be able to get online LATE tonight to make my pick.

Thank you dikahead! Did JWood even watch football last year? He certainly hasn't kept off with the offseason developments....

[Guest Scorpion]

Well, I just popped in to see if it was my turn yet... nope... I guess CM..T is gone

 

I'll be in around 7:30 a.m. my time tomorrow.

If I'm really nice I'll get up early...

8.9 WR Az-Zahir Hakim STL

 

Return TDs or no, Hakim should be good for 100 fantasy points on the year, and if Warner should happen to go off, or either of Holt or Bruce should go down (and I own Bruce), he could do so much more. If you're contemplating having to start a 3rd WR as one of your starters, at least let it be the Rams 3rd WR...

 

Cool. Now all you need is at least two receivers to play for you in Week 9. Oh, wait. I have some . . .

One imagines that a suitable pair of bye week WR will make themselves available in later rounds, or the first EIGHT weeks of the season. I figure I may, y'know, pick up a player once or twice during the year...

 

Of course, I'm always open to ideas.

Hakim was a nice pick. I'm surprised he fell that low. I would have taken him above several others that have already been picked.

Torrid, you talk like it's July and training camp hasn't even opened. Ooohhhh, wait . . .

[Guest Jwood]

I couldn't pass Johnson up this time. He's too good of QB, in case McNabb falters.

[Guest Scorpion]

There's a future pick. I didn't want to take the chance of not getting him.

 

He's going to rock in this league in a couple years.

I was this | | close to taking BJ at 8.1, but I figured since I took Couch at 7.12, I could pass and take a bad RB instead. I really like his chances this year to put up respectable numbers.

Lord, I hope so, since I gambled early on Keyshawn to the detriment of my RB corps.
