Projecting 800 yards and 8 Td's. As a Ravens fan I hope you are right, and I hope we have not already seen his ceiling.... this season is going to either set him up as a premier WR or he is bagging groceries next year IMHO 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 11, 2021 Starting to run low on starting TE, let's take one on the way up. The Dolphins added a couple field stretchers,Ā Gesicki may be able to take advantage in the middle of the field and in the redzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 547 Posted June 11, 2021 The week overall has been a huge success in terms of the pace of this draft. No matter what happens today, we are in great shape. Fridays are always a little slower and thatās understandable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 11, 2021 Yeah, we're more than halfway done, starting a day later than usual. We'll have good periods and bad periods, but overall the pace has been very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shovelheadt 71 Posted June 11, 2021 Something to consider for future drafts is to have a moderator with contact info for all of us. A lot of times (like with myself), a simple text will jar someone loose. I get head down at work and slip up sometimes.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,742 Posted June 11, 2021 Likely to have 9 or 9.5 rounds done in 4 days. We will be done by Wednesday 6/16 at the worst. A 9 day mock and then time to give analysis. Seems more than reasonable to me.Ā 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,237 Posted June 11, 2021 Thanks, work had me unexpectedly bottled up, Boyd was going to be my take here.Ā Apologies for the delay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,742 Posted June 11, 2021 Thoughts behind my last two picks.... I felt I needed to address my running back depth behind a stud coming off acl/mcl and a talented rookie who still is a rookie. Volume guys dry up quickly so I went with... Gus Edwards - Ingram is gone and while Dobbins is the sexier pick, Edwards has been sneakily one of the most productive running backs in the NFL on a per touch basis. High volume rushing offense that can support two guys (plus Lamar). I see him as the 1B and capable of more than the 800-6 he had in 2020.Ā Ā James Conner - I like him to slide into a lesserĀ version of the Kenyan Drake role with goal line work. Iām also not as high in Chase as many others. Admittedly this is a little bit of a best ball pick as I can see some games where he punches in two scores.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,742 Posted June 11, 2021 @ICEMAN Robby Anderson is gone. Please pick again.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb 81 Posted June 11, 2021 Well, letās see if the Hisman winning rookie can score a fee TDs! I stacked him with my QB and he is getting positive reviews at camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a rather patient and understanding person (my meditation practice helps this), but I certainly can understand peopleās frustration. Like at work, when people make a commitment to a certain project, the rest of the team depends on them. It makes the project more fun and productive. If one person doesnāt make the same commitment then the entire TeamĀ suffers as we have 11 folks who all have committed to the rules as set my Mike. Itās not ālife and deathā, itās just a game. But, Ā itās about personal values and being true to the folks who do commit. Iāll liveā¦.but I am retired and have the time. Maybe others donāt and they get frustrated, but I guess we know ahead of time what we āsigned up forā and we can learn to have compassion, wisdom and patience! Have a wonderful and enjoyable weekend everyone and love the people you spend it with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,742 Posted June 12, 2021 Like the Parker pick at this stage and given Fullers last injury history. I probably would have gone with him or one other WR still out there (which is really shocking me and might make my next pick a tough one) but ultimately went with Williams hoping that everything clicks. Heās had the 1k season, the double digit TD season and heās got the QB with an arm now.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
