I am curious if Kelly's tactical "innovations" (they are new-ish for the NFL) ave an impact on your calculations?

Seeing as through Kelly was the Coach for my Oregon Ducks before he was the head coach at Philly. I did tweak a couple of the players last year. Meaning I manually adjusted upwards Shady and the WR's for philly. Turns out that was a smart play. Since this is his second year and I have the data from last year I don't have to make that adjustment for Chip's Eagles. I have made other adjustments for different teams depending on whether it is a new OC, new head coach, new DC, players in contract years, age of player, amount of time that player has been under the same OC or DC....ext....

I have a slightly different opinion on Dallas then you do.

You mean the Dallas D doesn't totally suck?

No they have a couple of good linemen. Unfortunately the safeties, linebackers, and tackles will drag them down.

I predict by the end of the 3rd game Jerry is going to be kicking himself for not drafting Manzel.

I think the Browns would be more okay with a trade than most think :-)

Yeah he isn't looking especially strong is he. Still if Jerry had drafted him then at least the cowboy fans would have some excitement once Romo goes down in week 3.

Peyton Manning is a Colt. Always. I specified that shit.

I agree remove Peyton from HD's pick and give him the current Colt Peyton...i.e.. Andrew Luck.

While I'll gladly take Andrew Luck as the actual QB, one is more likely to have better numbers in fantasy bullshit football.

So. Peyton Manning is and always will be a mother-fucking Indianapolis Colt. However, if you HAVE to insult him, just list no team name. Thank you and God bless.

I'd have taken McCoy #1 overall, so you picked well.

Yeah, it was tough to decide between Charles, McCoy, and Peterson. I don't care what anyone says, no one can say with confidence which of those 3 will be better in the long run. You even can add Forte into the decision.

I would have taken Charles, McCoy, or Peterson even if it was random, but I just feel like betting on Teddy Bridgewater being a semi decent passer and the vikings improving enough that Peterson MIGHT have another record season. It's just a gamble really. They're suppose to be including Peterson in the passing game more this year, which is what they did with Charles last year, and we see how well that turned out.

I'm worried Charles might not maintain his record setting pace, and that McCoy might lose some goal line touches to Sproles. But the same could be said for Peterson. Last year his production went down and he might not get back up.

The rankings I use had Peterson 4th behind Charles, McCoy, and forte, in that order. But I went with him anyway.
But McCoy is a stellar pick, Tatts. He might have his best season ever this year.

Stellar pick indeed if he actually existed ! I think the player he meant to pick was LeSean McCoy !!!

My god your right he is still available. Perhaps Lesean will fall down to my pick. Fingers Crossed!!!

Brandon Weeden isn't exciting enough? I bet the whole stadium has fists and butt cheeks clenched in terror the moment he enters the field.

What's Venge up to?

Sleeping, it's 2 AM in Chicago. He didn't leave his pick with me, so we'll have to wait another 5 hours. I hope someone has KLs pick, or we go through a longer cycle again after Venge posts his.

We definately need to start sharing choices if we want to do this in time.

[Vengeance]

KL is in Delaware. She should be up shortly.

[Tattersail_]

Nice pick Tapper.

No one better than him in his position

[Vengeance]

That was a gimmy tatts. Either I took him and Tapper took Mega or I took mega and tapper took Jimmy.

[Vengeance]

At this point I suspect that me and Tapper are playing from the same play book.

[Tapper]

Venge, you bastard. You did what I'd have done.

I really don't know how to feel about Graham. I couldn't pass on him for his value is too big, and I loved him to bits last year.
Not sure what getting paid does for his pain tolerance level, though. Plus, with Gronk in a better condition and Cameron as a coming star, I feel the upside is way less on taking him.

There's just not enough value in the RB group to pass on either Johnson or Jimmy now. They're the last surefire round 1 guys, and with the quick returning picks, Stalker and Twelve are probably looking at Demaryius Thomas, AJ Green, Drew Brees and what RBs are left of Foster, Lynch, Ball and Bell for their consecutive picks - not too shabby.

Tough choices for KL and ShanRawr, though.

I omit Dez Bryant there for a reason. Come on Dez, drop to the 17th pick. You know you want to.
