MahSoonerz 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Are you kidding??? Drafting from the 12 spot, that's a killer lineup. The novices are the yahoos who let Maroney slip to the 13th pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pipeman 16 Posted May 26, 2007 Are you kidding??? Drafting from the 12 spot, that's a killer lineup. The novices are the yahoos who let Maroney slip to the 13th pick. Agreed! First thought was- solid draft out of the toughest spot every year to draft out of, IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RC94 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Looks like a solid draft to me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgs316 14 Posted May 27, 2007 Please point out what is so horrible about his team. It's a slightly higher risk, but much higher reward team. Only weak link might be Hasselbeck, but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted May 27, 2007 Are you guys serious? The guy has nothing at RB outside those first two picks. He's got Henry's b/u in Denver, but an injury to Maroney does his team in, not to mention what he's going to do on bye weeks. Outside the obvious issues at RB depth, he's also got too many eggs in one basket issues with the Denver RB/WR/RB combo, the Seattle WB/RB combo, the New Orleans WR/WR combo and is counting on Maroney w/ questions on his shoulder, Hasselbeck with questions on his shoulder, and counting on Shanny to actually field one decent RB. They guy went 4 WR in a row and left a huge hole at RB and I'm the only one that sees it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They guy went 4 WR in a row and left a huge hole at RB and I'm the only one that sees it? as stated before, it's a pretty high risk/high reward draft. If Maroney blows up this year, this is gonna be a tough, competitive team. taking both RB's from Denver wasn't a bad move either, by taking Mike Bell he basically handcuffed Henry.... Now, not saying that "I" would do that, cause I hate Shanahan and his RBBC of Doom, but overall it's not a bad draft, could be better, could be worse. My biggest issue with the team is any signs of "proven performers in proven situations" he has a LOT of BIG IF'S in there. Calvin Johnson - Could be a stud.... most likely a dud Henry - Just like CJ. not big on hasselbeck, but eh, could have gotten worse. Main things I woulda changed about his draft was I woulda ditched some of the mediocre WR talent, and tried to get a slightly better 3rd RB, or a better starting QB. Calvin Johnson is a nice risky but potentially good pick, but it coulda been spent on something much safer and much more likely to produce THIS YEAR. I don't see the fuss though, it's not a super draft, but I wouldn't call it bad enough to point your fingers at it laughing, cause anyone could end up in that draft position and really when it comes to drafting, it's all about getting the player you want for the value you have them set at. Sometimes things just don't go your way and you have to take what you are left with. Ok looking at it more..... Definitly some issues with the 3 WR's. He basically has 3 WR2's on his team and no respectable RB3. His backup QB suxors, and his bye weeks are gonna blow. Any chance of a link to the full draft? Would like to see it But again, it isn't THAT bad, it's just not really good.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlaHawker 24 Posted May 27, 2007 Hasselbeck with questions on his shoulder, They guy went 4 WR in a row and left a huge hole at RB and I'm the only one that sees it? You mean Hasselbeck's NON throwing shoulder? Yea his non throwing shoulder will give him about as much trouble as Drew Brees's shoulder gave him last year Don't worry you're right; the rest of the world is wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddog3819 0 Posted May 28, 2007 He did a pretty decent job. His starting lineup is good. The only problem is he needs Maroneys handcuff in case something happens to him since he has had some injuries and his 5th and 6th WRs are a huge question mark. Also Grossman as a back up could either be really good or really bad. All in all a good starting lineup but the reserves do need some work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belushi 9 Posted May 28, 2007 Starting lineup is solid, but bench is weak, even for a 12 team league. And 3 rookie WR's on the bench? Why waste 3 picks on rookie WR's, who rarely do anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
