t.j 35 Posted August 21, 2003 FOCK. I thought for sure Roy Williams would fall to me at 6.03. Oh well, at least you made up my decision whether or not to take Aaron Brooks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zap 0 Posted August 21, 2003 I'm surprised Brooks was there. I spent a day in the jungle contemplating the murky quagmire that remains at WR, came online and almost picked two I had decided on. I read the Gannon love comments and snagged a QB sooner than I anticipated. I'm way off my expected route to the final roster, but I'm happy to have him as a near 6th round pick. On Williams, I really wanted him and figured he wouln't come back around, so I shelved the receivers. I can see it now. I'm starting Fred Barnett and Herman Moore. Dood, did you do Hana when you were in Hawaii? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friar 0 Posted August 21, 2003 Zap: Brooks and Williams and Troy Brown were debated in my head in every combination. I am big on Roy Williams as well, but I had him penciled @ 8th round. You would ask... but why Jason Taylor on the 5th & even before Gannon? Well, I do have to think about that long & hard before I make sense, but he seemed to be that one sure thing at that pick.

Diesel07 0 Posted August 21, 2003 Im with friar on that one. I figured around round 8 he (roy) would go, but someone jumped on the roy williams bus a little to early IMO. I'd rather get the Offensive talent and take a defensive player in the middle/lower end of the 1st tier. Id rather risk loosing say 10-15 tackles and a couple INT's than a relaibel/consistent WR. There's way too much depth in the defense IMO, but hey; if the price is right, im all for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teddyt 0 Posted August 21, 2003 I would have jumped at Brooks in the 5th, but I already have Horn and McAllister. Talk about all your eggs in one basket. That's why I was trying to trade McAllister. IMO Brooks could be huge this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zap 0 Posted August 21, 2003 Coming out of the jungle last night it was Troy Brown/Todd Pinkston on my list and ready to go. I was anticipating a qb in the 10th or 11th, but Brooks had been on the board long enough. For me this is now an effort in finding a tandem of receivers that will outprocuce the two I just passed on for the upper tier qb and the top DB. I disagree about their being great depth at DB. To me this is a one player first tier, an interesting second tier and an abyss. The thinking I wished I'd abandoned that cost me a #2 receiver, going upper tier for Gonzo, I embraced in this section with Brooks and Williams. I'm happy with my team in regards to vbd theory at this point. I was not happy before these picks. This is sooo much fun! The questions I have for Todd/Troy, I also have for recievers coming back to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,582 Posted August 21, 2003 I wasn't sure if I wanted Pinkston here, after all the guy is kinda smallish, and Thrash is there to steal his red zone stuff.... BUT, Thrash has been unreliable IMHO, and will never develop as the go to guy that I think Pinkston already is.... I am pleased to have him as my #3 WR, but recognize that there are certainly issues with the pick, as I expect to have with a #3 WR.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel07 0 Posted August 21, 2003 whew the slew of top LBs are getting slim, im glad i got me a good one. I was hoping for Brookings, but Brooks will have 2 do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t.j 35 Posted August 21, 2003 First big mistake of the draft, IMO, by Seeker. You gotta go with "Famous" Amos, not Amos "And Andy"!! Yeah I had Brooking just above Brooks. I don't think there is a big drop to the next tier, but I did see them as the end of tier 1 at LB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted August 21, 2003 FourTwoOh:Not playing any flag football this year? It's been the offseason for a few months (two leagues begin next month) but it's still not the same. For offensive players, practices are like mini-games. You get a few chances to make some great plays, you get a lot of reps in, and you don't have to show up 3 hours early and sit through halftime and all the peripherals that come with playing a game. And you know that, at the end of the day, hopefully you are a better team and more prepared for the next time a win is on the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel07 0 Posted August 21, 2003 our football practices are held whenever we want. I just love playing D. Fock offense, I just like making the plays on defense.

Otherwise I am not worried one single bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friar 0 Posted August 22, 2003 What I do not understand is that some people give their picks a thumbs up and yet put an aggrevated face at the end of the post. What does it really mean? Are you glad, or are you mad with your pick? Are you glad you picked it and still mad at other people for other reasons like being late or picking your original pick?

friar 0 Posted August 22, 2003 I like the Vick pick. What I have noticed in this draft, apart from it taking ages, is that people have been pretty gutsy about a lot of players that I had pencilled in as candidates for my team in the coming rounds. Not that anything wrong with them... Who can argue a healthy Vick, Urlacher, Ray Lewis, or a blasting Koren Robinson? I guess I am a little conservative myself.

RLLD 3,582 Posted August 22, 2003 We need to start submitting lists somehow to alleviate the burden of this thing.
