Yup. I can see why he's highly ranked but I wouldn't give him that value, personally. Especially in Arizona, which is likely to be RBBC.

[Vengeance]

I see him being projected a top 5 RB. True I had JJ going before him but it isn't a horrendous pick.

[Vengeance]

He is going to see 20+ touches every game.

[Vengeance]

How long do we wait to see if tapper is around? I have his pick ready to go.

[Stalker]

Considering all the injuries tapper's team had last year, maybe he should consider a safe and healthy pick, like a defense!

[Slow Ben]

Isnt it like 3am where he is?

I'd say go ahead.

[Vengeance]

Done.

Yeah. I chose a healthy, freshly drafted young man playing behind an O-line that made Darren McFadden look good.
The catch of course being that Elliott plays the same position as Ray Rice did, in service to the team foolish enough to hire Greg Hardy last year, and may or may not have demonstrated the same behavior as both those dumb pricks.
I feel somewhat tainted.

I don't think you are past the 12 hours yet and the next person has not picked...

[Tapper]

ShanRawr also hasn't read the reminder-PM about the draft kicking off on Monday, nor my PM about to her, Venge and SB about my choices. I fear there is something going on with people whose forum names are starting with Sh<vowel>nr....

[Slow Ben]

Shan hasnt been on the forum since she said she wanted to play. Almost 3 weeks ago. So who knows.

If she doesnt make it its Lamar Miller. So at least its a RB.

And a pretty decent one at that.

Perhaps next year we should make a time zone related draft order, and then flip a coin to see if we go east to west, or west to east.

I was looking at him, but I shied away from him because of the Domestic Abuse Allegations and police and NFL investigations underway.

With the NFL's history of not giving a shit, and people not liking it, if they do end up pressing charges or something, I feel like the NFL is going to swing way overboard and look at season/career bans immediatly.

20 minutes until this is set?

[Tapper]

Seems we avoided the second auto-pick, and I for one am happy about that.

Thank god.

Wait, this isn't football.

Sorry guys! I had physical therapy this morning followed by a bunch of work meetings. I'll try to get in the habit of getting in early enough to check before my meetings so such a long stretch doesn't happen again.

I also tend to lurk without logging in, so I am not as absent as I seem. Just when I need to pick, apparently... Sorry again!

I mean... are you here to troll, or piss in cheerios, or are you trying to contribute to our discussion of our league?
