Jerry Porter...DUMB pick league...Draft COMMENTARY...take 2.

Recommended Posts

good call, Rye.......how far do you think he may have fallen if Sweet hadnt taken him???....any plans there on your part of reeling him in???

 

Well, there were, but Sweet took Carson in the 3rd round of his dynasty so I pretty much thought he would gone before I got to pick. Would I take Carson? Hell yeah, in a later round....As far as the Addai pick...he was on my short list..nice pick

 

and by the way, stay ready because FS should be around here soon.........

 

I will be here updating my draft sheet.

Did Scooter say when he would be around, solo?

I'm here.

 

sorry all...had a meeting run an hour over on a critical issue and I'm in charge, so what can I do. I then had to rush home and run my dog - but I am back and I'll pick in the next few minutes after I see what mistakes-er-picks you all made.

So I'm re-capping the draft player by player and Solo throws me for a loop.

 

what...the...faq happened there? :lol:

 

o if I have this right, it's

4.03 - My Dixie Weekend - Ruben Droughns

4.04 - 09-Ace - Plaxico Burress

4.05 - The ellisonb11 - Santana Moss

4.06 - Da Bears - Carson Palmer

4.07 - Clash of the Titans - Donald Driver

4.08 - Solo's Union Mission - Joseph Addai

 

Right???

 

So long as that's right, I won't even ask what brand of crack solo was smoking when he picked before Da Bears. :mad:

 

 

On the other hand, Addai was a guy I was thinking about there - tip of the cap to the pick.

 

Now what....hrmmmmm....

You aren't allowed to draft any more RBs :clap:

 

Somebody wake up Howie..

 

Damn, I had high hopes for tonight but it doesn't look like this draft is going anywhere tonight. I have been a part of maybe 5 12-hour drafts in the past and this one is by far the slowest.

 

Conversely, you should take your time, this is for bragging rights. I have played in quite a few money leagues over the years and, it's funny, cause though there is no monetary incentive, I really want to win this league.

I'll be back close to 7pm EST tomorrow (friday).

 

Going for an overnight with the family Saturday into Sunday without a computer. I can email a short list to someone, but may need a ring on the cell if the draft speeds up this weekend.

 

I'm probably not the only dad with big plans over the weekend though. Happy Father's Day dads.

I'll be out of town this weekend, to spend F-D with dad....Sacto River Cats minor league BB game Saturday night, then lunch Sunday. Should be fun - I should have internet access out there, so I'll check in in the evernings...I imagine that I'll have picked by then for the 5th round, so all that will be impacted is that the picks won't be updated for a couple days.

Folks

 

I am gonna be out starting tomorrow up to MOnday morning since I just bought a home and am moving this weekend.

 

Now I should (hopefully) have some net access tomorrow and maybe Sun but definitely not Saturday.

 

Can we please wait until MOnday if required? If this is a big problem, I am willing to give my team up if someone else wants to run it.

 

YOur call folks.

 

PS: This move is also the reason I have not had time the past week or so, and have been sluggish in my picks here too.

 

Thanks

Hey Scoot, just had to say...

 

Always a good time at the 'Cats games.

 

Not a bad seat in the house, reasonable prices and food/bevs and tix, giveaways/entertainment in between innings, and some decent baseball to boot.

 

Have a good time with your dad man.

Sweet, thanks for the notice. Maybe we can have someone step in and draft for you over the weekend. I know weve talked about fill ins for guys who are going to be out of town for stretches upcoming. Can we do this for you?.....I dont want to see you give your team up, but you need to do whatever is best. But we can work it out so that you are covered. I doubt we'd get more than a round or 2 done over the weekend being that its father's day weekend, but let me know what's best for you.

I've heard - thanks for the encouragement. It's suppossed to be a little more "pure" than Pac Bell or OAK.

 

Pop lives out that way, and I'm not going to make him drive all the way here for F-Day.

:wacko:

Can he mail his picks to someone? Surely he has a friend on these forums not in this draft who could represent him...

 

I'm in agreement that he shouldn't have to give his team up.

 

If the weekend is slow, the weekend is slow - whaever. there will also be bursts when we're all around and we get in 2 rounds bam! bam!

 

That hasn't happened yet, but maybe we can all collectively plan on being here say, next Sunday morning and we can make up for lag/lost time?

 

Just a suggestion.

 

Congrats on the house Sweetness - it's a big step and you must be thrilled. Won't help you draft any better, but congrats anyway. :lol:

And finally, n00b: I hate you. Walker was who I was flipping a coin over with my last pick and I had some notions of taking him on the way back. Gah!

RB's getting thin

Wr's starting to make those tough decisions

Qb's - only 2 gone so far but round 6 is closing fast

te's - Only 1 gone so far

 

Who is taking the first defense or kicker? You should automatically lose 10 pts your first week for this pick.

Solo, I think that it is at least worth asking Fumbleweed. He is my #1 choice to help Parrot thru his vacation. I think all of us respect/trust him and we'd all benefit if he agreed to help.

I'm cool with this. Does anyone know if they have internet access in the cheap rooms at Disney? Has anybody talked with Fumbleweed yet? Thanks.

not a bad pick on gonzo at 5.04 scooter. for him to fall to almost the middle of the fifth is pretty rare, and i would just have to take him because he is capable of catching a LOT of balls and getting some TDs. his last season scared me, but theres no way he will disappoint like last season. overall, i like the pick. i like the risk on taking andre johnson. he should bounce back this year.

It's a little dicey, but the fact that this is a PPR league really made this an attractive pick. His low TDs were a fluke last year, IMO and were more the result of his having to block more when the O-Line got hurt and LJ was having issues with pass protection.

 

But he still put up 78 receptions for 900+ yds. In this league, that's 168 points alone. I fully expect his TDs to increase to the 7-10 range, placing him again in the top 2 at the position.

 

And I doubt I could get a WR3 here who'd top that production.

 

Still - my 4th and 5th picks might tank me, but it's worth the risk IMO.

 

Fire away! :ducks:

 

ETA - as for AJohnson, high ankle sprains are nothing pretty and that's why he sucked last year. Now the Texans have a solid compliment on the other side of the field, and a coach who will hit AJ deep. I expect 1100/7 as a low-end for him, making him an outside top 10 candidate. Not bad for a WR2. I love this guy this year and will try to grab him in the 4th of my $ leagues too. He was solidly trending upwards and should have had that "3rd year" season last year...except he was hurt. I think he could be in for a career season, with upside of 1350/12 :banana:

Solo -

 

you have NO idea how close you were to being really pissed off at me just now.

 

Benson was a very very very close call for me. In the end I decided to help my starting lineup and worry about backups later.

 

nice pick.

Scooter - I was real high on AJ also - - nice pick with that one

 

Gonzalez - you have to like his situation also and I agree he will put up more td's this year.

 

As for Gonzalez beating out a #3 wr - not too sure about that one! This is where my middle round expertise comes in to play :banana: . I'm pumped about the wr's still left and did I mention the Rb's still left :ninja:!

Again - you have to consider PPR.

 

No WR3 gets the number of receptions TGonz averages per season. 90-100 receptions is not only possible, but likely.

 

say he goes 80/1000/7

 

no WR3 will touch those numbers. I agree - there's a ton of talent at all positions left on the board and I sure hope some slides to me with my next pick. But TGonz IMO has upside that most of them do not, and from the TE position.

 

Like I said - I never intended on taking a TE this high at all, and I didn't entend on taking TGonz, but 5.04 was too hard to pass him up.

:thumbsup: - I even agree with your projections - Gonzalez great 22 yard catch and knocked out at the 5...and then Larry Johnson runs it in :blink: I'll allow gonzo to get 7 of my td's this year!
