*****Round One Commentary*****

[Guest Tarheel Boy]

RK definitely has put himself above everyone else with this pick in the draft. Great job.

[Guest RK]

I felt it was too early for James Stewart, and Tony Simmons might last until the last round, so I believe the choice was a no-brainer

[Guest Canio6]

I think he should have taken a risk and grabbed Tony Banks. I'm telling you this guy will explode!

 

Good pick RK

What took you so long to pick...

I haven't seen him around in the last week or so. Isn't school out now? Maybe his family went on vacation or something.

[Guest RK]

This is gonna be a long draft.

[Guest hoffdaddy]

He just posted on the XDL board. Lets see if we can find him.

[Guest RK]

Maybe someone should shoot him an e-mail. I don't think he knows we are even here, since he didn't respond in the "League Members Post Response Here" thread.

[Guest Scooby]

Stick - Put the picks where they belong...In the round 1 pick thread...

[Guest stick]

Hushhhhhh guys, I'm usually all on time, I had no clue we were drafting yet till Hoff emailed me. It's my bad, won't happen again. Also my bad on the posting a new topic thingy, wanted to draft fast to keep it going didn't even see that topic.

[Guest RK]

I was seriously considering taking Culpepper at #1, but couldn't pull the trigger.

[Guest kariya9]

I figured he is too valuable overall and in this scoring system he is better than a Warner.......I was so tempted to take Fred Taylor but I wussed out.

[Guest Canio6]

with the top 2 QBs and RBs gone I figured I had to go Taylor. I was tempted to take Moss, but figured I would give Fred a chance as he used to bang my wife's roomate.

[Guest Canio6]

Nice pick Smitty.

[Guest Smitty]

Sorry about the delay, servers went down because Mike forgot to pay his electric bill again.....wasting his money on all that Hank Stram porno....

 

 

Anyhow, I took Jamal here for a few reasons:

 

I am not real high on Eddie George. He is a real steady guy but rarely gets the real breakout scoring weeks. He is the definition of steady and boring (in a good way). Jamal on the other hand has unlimited potential and is more explosive fantasy wise as he plays in what will be a dynamic offense this season. He averaged 100 yds per game on the ground but due to the anemic offense of Baltimore, his TD total suffered a bit. I think he is golden for about 1800 combined yds and 12-15 TDs with the improved team around him.

[Guest RK]

I agree Smitty. I wanted to trade down to get George or Lewis. I'm lucky enough to have both of them in a dyansty league!

Instead you had to settle for Faulk. You poor bastard!

As good as he is, I'd rather have George/Lewis and perhaps Moulds/Alexander/Dunn . . . who knows.

 

Even though they are the best, Faulk and James don't get me going. I'd rather have others on my team. It's stupid, but they are just not my favorite players.

I understand your point. I have never been in a league which allows the trading of draft picks. What would you have taken for the first pick out of curiosity?

[Guest RK]

Probably a 1st and 3rd for Faulk.

[Guest Tusekan Raiders]

Probably should have taken Moss, but I aborted the stud RB crap in the ForChamps league (also 16 teams) and went VBD in the beginning. While I liked the results (I'll take Manning and Owens over some of the questionable RB tandems other teams landed in 1 and 2), it wasn't fun. Hoping for the likes of Priest Holmes and Michael Pittman to fall to you in the 3rd and 4th round is not the type of anticipation I enjoy in a draft.

 

So, I'll start with the stud RB who, boring or not, will erase my concerns of getting stuck with the Browns RBBC.

 

Smitty, any tips on TEs and Ds for the later rounds?

[Guest Tarheel Boy]

There will be no damn collusion in my league. Cheatin bastards.

[Guest Scooby]

Why are all the RB's being drafted...Save some for me...

[Guest JasperisOK]

Unexpected passing away of my best friends mother yesterday on the O.R. table set me back a little bit. Sorry if it caused any delays to the league. Stayed up all night with the poor guy, he lost his father too about 7 years ago and is an only child. Next couple of days I'll most likely be back and forth between here and there, but I'll check in here when I can.

 

Damn, yesterday was a pretty $hitty day.

[Guest hoffdaddy]

Sorry to hear that man. We all wish him well. I attended a funeral ealier this week. A friend's father died of a massive heart attack at 54 years of age. It's tough. Makes you think.

Don't worry about it, dude. Sorry to hear the news. We'll get the draft done so don't worry about having to be in a hurry to make your picks.

[Guest Scooby]

After Moss went, I had to go with Harrison over the RB's...With the 1 point per reception, Harrison is as good as gold....Happy to have him here....

 

Just leave some rb's for me in round 2....Pleaseeeeeee!!!

Yeah, I couldn't believe that Moss was still there at nine. I was going to reach for one of the second tier backs, but just couldn't pass him up. Feel a little better about it since only 5 backs have gone so far, but hate being hemmed into picking RBs the next two rounds. Now if only James Stewart will fall to me at 24... sigh.

[Guest kariya9]

I am hoping that either Robert Edwards, Travis Prentice, or Ricky Williams falls to 30.

[Guest BroncosFan]

I was relieved to see Davis fall to me. When I found out I had the 11th pick, I looked my list over and hoped that the league wouldn't go all RB's in the first round. IMO, he has a great chance to be a top 5 back or better this year.

[Guest Scooby]

With the catch points, it makes a decent wr as valuable as a rb,IMHO....

[Guest Ditkanate]

Or a Tight End. BWAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....

 

I hope.

Dammit, I don't want to have to settle for Sharpe!

[Guest Ditkanate]

Yes, but now you have first dibs on a whole new tier of crappy shot in the dark running backs and wide receivers.
