**Round One & Two Commentary**

[remote controller 143]

WW has Matts round 1 and 2 picks.

[WhiteWonder 2,681]

Sorry for the delay. Didn't see he was up

[WhiteWonder 2,681]

More regarding Ball. I was between Ball and Lynch. Lyn check has a LOT of carries the past two seasons including playoffs. I don't actually love Balls talent as much as his situation.

 

We shall see what happens but I think it was a low floor, high ceiling pick

[Fumbleweed 516]

It just goes to show how highly Graham is thought of in fantasy circles that he could be a first round pick and nobody even bats an eye...

I have noticed he is consistently being chosen in the 8-12 range in many drafts, clearly he is seen as a true stud by the community.

[Fumbleweed 516]

So, Shovel is our 12th guy, correct? Not Mike...

[Clash of the Titans 1]

Best running back I've over seen at Alabama like i said 3 years ago..........mike must think his toe is still bad lol.........,, order up boys RTR

[remote controller 143]

Shovel hasn't even checked in today. He posted on the check-in thread last night at 7:30.

[remote controller 143]

Too bad JScott took AJ as we could have penciled that one in here. No other Bengals warrant a grab quite yet. lol!

[RicemanX 20]

Damn, can someone get in touch with Shovel? Would love to get through 2 rounds today

[shovelheadt 68]

Damn guys. Just found out about this yesterday.

[JScott 20]

Damn guys. Just found out about this yesterday.

Well that was yesterday, no slack today

[Fumbleweed 516]

Martin scares me...a lot. New coaching staff. Uncertain role. I am glad to see him go off the board before my pick. That means somebody I value more will still be there for me presumably.

I certainly was thinking he might slide to the mid-late second.

[Fumbleweed 516]

Very happy to get Bryant here. When I picked Lynch, it was in the hopes that Bryant or Julio Jones would fall to me here. Very pleased.

[remote controller 143]

Prolly won't have to ponder that since you're 4 picks away Ray.

[remote controller 143]

Marshall was nice here. I have never had the top 8 Wr's so bunched up.

[WhiteWonder 2,681]

Yeah. A guy I contemplated in round 1 is still on the board so I contemplated him again but decided I wanted marshall. The QBs favorite.

Great pick, should provide good returns for sure.

[remote controller 143]

Rodgers would have been a temptation here but Marshall is who I was really salivating over. After Marshall fell I concentrated on Foster. I know it's only coach speak so to say, but I like what's coming out of Houston on Fosters usage and trading away Tate was the clincher for me. I see Foster getting 50 catches this year, and having no vulture in Tate. He's a 28 year old over achiever. This is like the old days for me......having two backs in the fold, cept used to be I'd add the third one perty quickly.

[RLLD 4,145]

Agee on Marshall, and also Foster, he is going to be a three down back for so long as he stays healthy.

Murray was next on my list though. He too could have a great year as long as the coach quits abandoning the running game. His health sometimes scares me.

I guess I am just scared of Murray due to health concerns.

Liked Bryant where he was taken.

A tight end in round is just too much for me to consider. Makes me play "catch up" the rest of the draft. I know that is where he is going these days.... I am just not buying. I would have considered Graham in the 2nd round tho.

[robb 78]

Brees...... last of the 3 QBs I would take in the first 4 rounds, so pleased he lasted. Would have prefered Rogers, but Jeff snatched him first!

 

Will be curious to see if this strategy pays off.

[Vikings4ever 538]

:middlefingersmilie:

 

Really wanted Brees here.

[Fumbleweed 516]

Nice value on Brees. Also surprised that Arian Foster fell as far as he did. Really surprised.

[WhiteWonder 2,681]

Foster was nearly my pick on round 1 and then again in round 2 but I decided I'd rather grab a WR I love.

 

I might be in the minority but there are too many really nice qb options for me to take one early. Perhaps a habit I can't break and I'm missing the boat, who knows

Generally I agree, but the bust rate of the top QBs is pretty much nil (barring injury). I can't blame someone for going with a consistent top player early.

[remote controller 143]

Of the three QB's taken, Manning is the one I'd fear to own the most this season (considering when taken), and he carried me to multiple Titles last season when I saw where he was falling in drafts. This year he's just too expensive for what I feel will be 80 to 85 % of last years production. I would love to have his steady numbers, so I'm not slamming.

I was also eyeing Marshall. Rodgers was as solid of a backup plan as I could have. After the diet and the back, I'm not comfortable enough yet with Foster in teh 2nd.
