**Rounds Eight-Eleven Commentary**

Gordon's a boom/bust guy, especially with his drug issues.

 

But as a 4th WR, I'll take the chance.

Have a short list with me at work and you guys have picked it apart this round. Nice drafting

[Dan 59]

I agree with Lance Moore being a dynamite selection in the no-hassle format. I think . . . and I applaud the guys in the draft if it's true . . . that guys are trying to remember that the no-hassle format is supposed to be secondary in their thinking while doing the draft, to make the results more usable.

 

Great pick, though.

Unfortunately last season, I drafted 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DT, and I think that kinda screwed me over during some of the weeks. So I'm definitely a little more aware of it this season.

I haven't seen any outrageous picks that can be attributed to the format. The only time it comes up for me is when I'm deciding between two or three guys I have very close. So I think the format only affects the draft when it comes to defenses.

[Dan 59]

Almost jumped on Richardson instead of Ballard; I really like this pick. A little murky at the moment over there, but this is tremendous value this late in the draft . . . a guy who could end up starting and getting regular touches. Well done.

You DO love me! Anyhoo, I was somewhat surprised to have access to him here, but my goal was to snatch him if he did fall to me at this pick. I had actually charted multiple players based on my overall draft plan, but I am ready to rework that plan again after getting lucky here.

[JScott 20]

Lurking on my phone, will be back home in about 45min.

 

Also, I hate you WW. Two rounds in a row you've grabbed my target right in front of me.

 

You're on notice too V4E

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Blame fumble he pulled andre right from under me

[Vikings4ever 496]

I was having a hard time between Gordon and Austin. Went with the young upside over the better QB.

[Fumbleweed 426]

CRAP!

 

I was wanting Jared Cook bad here. I had identified him as my starting tight end about 2-3 rounds back. I guess turn-about is fair play.

 

Back to the drawing board...

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

I was planning to go andre brown and jared cook

[Fumbleweed 426]

Me, too ironically...

[Fumbleweed 426]

I knew I should have taken Bryce Brown. Now, I don't have McCoy's handcuff.

[RicemanX 20]

Might as well get in on this STL RB lottery.

[Dan 59]

Riceman - you are off my Christmas card list. Just saying.

[RicemanX 20]

Honestly surprised Pead wasn't the first STL RB taken.

 

Then again, also not too surprised he was the last STL RB taken.

[shovelheadt 61]

Dalton is the 1st pick of mine I'm not real sure of. He has zero excuses not to have a very good year, but I'm just not convinced.

[Vikings4ever 496]

I like Dalton this year, and considered taking him with my pick. But the QB2 depth is very good this year, so I passed.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

took you a year and a half but excellent pick, Dan

[Dan 59]

I left the house before 6 this morning for a yard sale at the church, and I come home to find that the players I wanted at this turn were the two taken directly in front of me - Dalton and Jackson. Ugh. That's all right, though. I like Knowshon, but I never trust myself with drafting him, because I have always overvalued him because I love his talent.

 

I know it's the weekend, and there's no clock, per se, but sorry to hang this up right at my pick all day.

[remote controller 133]

Tracking two more fine wr prospects and hoping they are stealth enough that one of them make this long corner.

Bet I know one of them.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

 

Bet I know one of them.

 

i think i know both.

[RicemanX 20]

Riceman - you are off my Christmas card list. Just saying.

Looks like you returned the favor with Myers. Love that pick.

[RicemanX 20]

Call it a mid-sunday afternoon, after a few hell or high watermelon beers, pick.

 

Hate to be the first guy to pick a defense, but the players I want will be around in 12,13 and 14.

[Fumbleweed 426]

JScott, if you can do something about the Selections thread, be my guest. It's going haywire on me when I try to edit it...

When you edit, try hitting that light switch on the top left corner of the reply/edit area a couple times. See if that does anything.

[Vikings4ever 496]

Vincent Brown was a breakout candidate last year before he broke his ankle, and it sounds like the new coaching staff also likes him.

[Dan 59]

Looks like you returned the favor with Myers. Love that pick.

 

Losing Dalton stung; I liked the combo with Romo. Plus I really like Dalton this year, and think he's going to represent incredible value; he'll be a top 12, even top 10, methinks.

 

Myers was the last TE I really liked - there are a couple more with good potential, and I suspected that he would not make it back to me. The WR I sacrificed for it will sting a little, but there is more depth on that side.

[robb 71]

Fantastic selection in V. Brown. I almost selected him this round. I believe he will be the #1 receiver in San Diego. I am envious.

[remote controller 133]

Brown was one of the wrs I alluded to above. Nice grab!

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

That was one of the Wrs I figured rc was talking about

[Matts Eagles 25]

Glad we got some more picks done....over the weekend...Happy Father's day to all the Fathers in here...

[Matts Eagles 25]

The only thing about Brown is Rivers absolute poor decision making

[remote controller 133]

With two Defenses already gone Ray likely just quit!! lol!

[Fumbleweed 426]

No, his standard defensive pick is still available.
