10th...hmmm

 

Can we talk about trading draft picks again? After all, we did say it has to resemble Sweetness' league to count. jk

 

I'm stoked to do some dammage from the 10 hole ladies. This is gonna be fun.

[Ace08 11]

#9 checking in. When life gives you a lemon, bust out the Black Label and get hammered. I'll raise hell at the bottom half of the draft.

Excellent attitude, Steel. Youre in a dirty spoiler spot in that hole. Anyone NOT named Big Joc Strap or Stonecoldsoonerfan is pretty much in the same boat anyway...... Im sure FWP will somehow fall to you if want to make that happen.

My friend Ace...firmly entrenched in the 9 hole. Oh, boy.....decisions, decisions. I actually like that spot. Some rock solid back is bound to get passed over. And Ive got you sized up as a 'pouncer'. Could be a very big and fast Dolphin sitting there waiting for you.

Not really, I'm just trying to decide if I should draft chestor taylor with 3.3

[SoloMatisse 0]

Joc, you dirty dog, you. Let me know where youre streakin', so I can make sure Im nowhere near that country! Any ideas yet which direction youre gonna go? Hey, Ive got a great idea....start up a "who should I take?" post.....we havent seen one of those in atleast 2 days.....

 

 

Get off, dude. Good for you.

[football_scooter 0]

Not really, I'm just trying to decide if I should draft chestor taylor with 3.3

 

I would.

 

 

I try to stay loose - 3.4's a fine spot and there will be lots of talent on the board. Likewise at 2.09 when I take my second pick. Depending on what I do there, I may not be in a position to take Taylor. We'll see.

 

That said, 4th bites my ass. The dropoff is huge from 3-4 potentially...unless you pick the right one.

 

Let's see...one's over 30, one's got a crap O-Line but plays 6 against the NFC west and one's got mad skillz but plays in the toughest division.

 

I wonder what Portis26 would do here....hrmmmmm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

YEA BABY - HUH HUH --Drum roll please.........I'm going streaking man

Scoot, Im tellin' you the 3 hole is ugly this year. Im not going to give things away, but I think most of us know who 1 and 2 are going to be. the 3rd guy taken will likely be a guy that some of us superstitous nut cases simply wouldnt have the round ones to snag. If I were in the 3 hole, Id be panicking. Id love to have your spot....only bad thing about that spot for you is that I will be drafting ahead of you every even round...... ......... so you and I may as well get comfortable, brother.

That already occurred to me, my soon-to-be nemisis.

 

I am doing curls right now, to strengthen my arm in preparation for this every even round:

 

But I actually don't mind 3rd. If any of the top 3 somehow miraculously slide, I've got no-brainer, and will think ill of the skillz of any in the top 3 who let me have him in the 4 hole.

 

So let's get the rules posted and get picking!

[SoloMatisse 0]

Everyone have a great night and Ill check back for the fallout tomorrow.

Yeah yeah, we all know you are taking Portis at 1.04 Picking Tiki would be too flattering to Sweetness.

[football_scooter 0]

Yeah yeah, we all know you are taking Portis at 1.04 Picking Tiki would be too flattering to Sweetness.

 

Who's to say Portis doesn't go 3rd.

 

You never know.

 

Either way I'm pleased.

 

Tiki is 31, and I think his carries will be a bit reduced. Receptions may go up. But with Saunders in WASH, I have to give the nod to Portis at 4 if LT2 is gone. And if LT2 is sitting there, I get my favorite NFL player with the 4th pick, with upside to achieve 1000/1000 100 receptions like he did when Brees struggled with double digit TDs on the ground, and both ways in the air - can't complain about that either.

 

But no way I'd take Tiki.

 

If I had to choose between Edge & Tiki it's Tiki. Thank goodness I'm not in that position. Eh Solo?

 

Since I know this crowd pretty well, I feel pretty confident it's going to be Portis. I'm more concerned about what's going to be there at 2.09

 

And yes Solo, I know...

[SoloMatisse 0]

My top pick will go against the grain and definitely shock some people....but if I were to pass on a guy who's slotted 8 or 9 just because thats where prognosticators think they should be chosen, then Id deserve whatever fate I got. So as it stands, if I think the guy commonly drafted in the 8 hole is the horse this year, then Ill saddle up and take him in the 5 hole. I was lookin' kinda goofy last year takin' LJ in the 5th round....for a little while anyway.

[Sweetness_34 0]

So where and when are we drafting? Seriously....

[stonecoldsoonerfan 0]

ok. so how do we do this offline draft? when, where, how, etc.?

[SoloMatisse 0]

As a reminder.....Im shooting for this Saturday the 10th at 10AM Eastern with a 12 hour time limit....discuss. Emails have all been sent out. A couple of you guys dont have emails connected to your teams, so your missing out on all my dazzling league memos. Tighten up! Chew.......swallow......digest.

 

 

[Yippie Skippy 0]

Hey I asked God for the 1 or 2 pick, not the 1+2 pick. I guess I forgot to specify what round. At least I have the first pick...umm...uhh...of the second round.

 

Lets get it on!!!

[Rye & Leaf 0]

Who's to say Portis doesn't go 3rd.

 

You never know.

 

I guess me - Portis is not going 3rd

 

I have done a number of mocks and have never seen LJ, LT, or SA fall out of the top 3. Like you mentioned earlier Scooter in a similar statement, if it happened, a lot of respect and credibility would fly out the window..

[stonecoldsoonerfan 0]

do we do the draft on a thread like this? how exactly is it done? also, is there any reason we can't commence with the draft now?

 

fyi, my wife's grandmother is not doing well. we may have to go to a funeral within a week or so. then again, maybe not. i'll try to fit in the best i can, but would appreciate consideration for the situation also if i have to be gone all day and can't meet the 12 hour time limit. i'm sure that everyone here will be pretty quick about drafting and i don't want to slow things up, but i don't know what's going to happen or when either.

 

thanks!

i can see portis going third myself. not saying it will happen alot, but i could see it.

 

anyone want to trade for my 2nd pick?

That is never fun. I send my condolences.

 

 

 

Let's get the rules and scoring posted and get this thing started.

[ellisonb11 0]

8th pick? well...i guess thats alright. jk, cuz ellisonb11 will still be on top!

[Grateful Parrot 0]

Brothers, I don't mind the 11 pick at all. If I can't be top, I'd rather be close to the bottom. Those in between picks in the first round drive me crazy. I'm cool with Saturday startup.

[stonecoldsoonerfan 0]

fyi i thought i would put the actual draft order (2 rounds worth) on the thread for convenience...

[football_scooter 0]

If I can't be top, I'd rather be close to the bottom.

 

I've heard that about you.

 

 

 

Those in between picks in the first round drive me crazy. I'm cool with Saturday startup.

 

I will be out of town on Saturday all day. However, I can send my 1.04 pick to SoloMatisse - but the 2.09 will have to wait.

 

Sorry. Previous family commitment.

[jocstrap 8]

Joc - so how do you like being the #1 pick?

 

Joc replies - man I can't tell you how great the feeling is, but I like it alot?

 

Joc - so who do you think you are going to take?

 

Joc-replies - Well, I'm seriously considering LT LJ SA - I'll have to see what the Magazines tell me to pick

 

Joc-Have you done a mock draft through five rounds since you were notified of the #1 pick?

 

Joc replies - Hell ya I have, very excited about potential team. I think I can land a stud WR @3.01 but I'm really not too sure who to take as my #2 running back at 2.12. Kevin Jones, Deshaun Foster, Chester Taylor, Tatum bell, Ron Dayne, Jamal Lewis . Or do I take wr wr 2.12 and 3.1?? I'll just have to play out a couple of scenarios this evening as I watch the Carolina Hurricanes take game #2 in the Stanley Cup!

 

Did I say I love being the #1 pick!!!!!

In all honesty...I feel the exact same way Solo. Depending on how the draft goes my second round pick is probably gonna shock some people as well....but who knows what will happen between now and #9. Drafting from the top 3 spots is easy....you gotta get creative the further down you go.

FYI, I've requested a league page here at FFT from MikeMac, and he said this would not be a problem as we're all FFT members.

 

So if this topic disappears in the next day or 3, look for it under league pages. It'll either be the title of this topic, or the initials (JPWADP League)

Good work, FS. Im waiting to here from Clash on some draft site info.

 

Hey guys, Saturday isnt looking good. We have 3 who have prior committments or illness, and we should just get going Sunday afternoon instead. I know some of you are extremely anxious to draft Larry Johnson and Tomlinson, but be patient.....so will SUNDAY around noon Eastern work for everyone?? If not, we can just kick if off at either the beginning of the week or next weekend. Look, if we push it back a little, it will only give everyone a little more time to prepare......cause some of you slackers are gonna need it!

Noon eastern, yes?

 

coolio - I'll be up well before that.

 

As for the picks, I am quite confident that with Priest rumored to be coming back to the Quiffs, Larry Johnson will be falling to me at the 4 spot.

 

Sorry solo - I know it'll be hard to take when he slides so close to you, then I take him. Man that's gonna suck for you.

 

But it is what it is...and though he's risky as hell with Priest clouding the picture, I'll have to take that chance.

 

Call me crazy

[jocstrap 8]

Sunday noon eastern : The lord can wait - -it's fantasy football pick #1 - I'll give you a tip

 

SA or LT but what no LJ you say? Ah LJ no way!

Better not be the guy I'm gunning for. I was going to do the same thing if I picked in the 5-8 range.

 

You must have pissed God off....nice

 

Draft order was decided on 6/6/06 (Pacific time). I think another power held sway on this day.

[Yippie Skippy 0]

You must have pissed God off....nice

 

 

God is just pissed that it is not football season and we're not playing football on His day of rest. Really, with Him I shoulda known better to even bring it up in early June. Maybe yesterday God was a lil' busy, and it was a bad day to ask for the 1 or 2 pick. Besides, He has a way of making thangs up.

 

We have agreed to most of the rules and format, but a list of unsettled things to vote on would be nice. I'd like to vote against negative points for INTs. I just don't think that a QB should be penalized when a WR runs the wrong route or an O-lineman misses a blocking assignment. Seems like it diminishes the value of the QB position even more. Only one QB will go in the first three rounds as it is. Then some guy will take Brady or hmmm...Carson Palmer in the 4th??

Only one QB will go in the first three rounds as it is. Then some guy will take Brady or hmmm...Carson Palmer in the 4th??

 

We already discussed negative scoring. The majority wanted it. -2 for Int and -1 for fumbles, -1 fumbles lost seems like a perfectly reasonable way to do it.

 

My opinion: If there aren't negative points, it's gay and makes weak QBs more valuable. Aaron Brooks potentially becomes a top 5 guy because his 25 Tds aren't offset by his 16 picks. Weak.

 

To your points, a Qb should absolutely be penalized when he tosses up a jump ball in double coverage or makes a boneheaded throw because he doesn't see the S cheating up to cut off the route he's been reading. And those things happen a hell of a lot more often than the errant route. Qbs are responsible for 90% of the interceptions. I assign 5% to WRs making mistakes and 5% to DBs outplaying them.

 

Of all the questions, I didn't think this wasn't up for vote. solo?

[ellisonb11 0]

the negative scoring is already settled. there IS negative scoring for INTs and fumbles, its a done deal. we have the settings made! now lets just draft.
