Holbrook should have a huge year but his early off weeks bothered me.
Stella killed me taking Aaron Kelly. I am seriously left scrambling. Will have a pick up in a second here.

I spent all night debating Kelly, a few other receivers and a RB and figured Kelly was really one of the few No. 1 WRs left, and borderline at that.

Disregard my list Emoney, I made my pick.
Great job pulling the trigger on Detron Lewis. That took some guts, but he could obviously pay off big-time.

duk -- You interested in trading Goodson?
Thanks for the offer Dave, that's a good offer, but I can't grind on this stuff anymore for a bit.
EMoney told me he'll be back at around 1:15 pm cst after his lunch meeting.

My decision was between Robiskie and Marion. Kadaver and EMoney have the same cheat sheets I guess.
From what I can tell, we're all using the cheatsheets from the same site.

Just curious, why are 2 early byes worse than 2 late byes? :headscratch:

I know it was early, but every time I try to time picks, someone always nabs the guy I want. So I took Detron Lewis early. He has looked good so far in practice, and Amendola caught 109 passes at Lewis' spot last year.
It was sort of my same thinking with Unga. Probably earlier than most expected, but I knew he would likely be gone by my 2nd pick.

You are 100% correct on Unga. He would have been gone at #11. Good call if you got the player you wanted. I did a couple quick mocks to see who I might get and Unga ended up at #11 with me on one of the two.

College Fantasy Football has a much shorter season than the pros. In my mind, the most important thing is to get enough wins to make it too the playoffs. So many good teams have missed the playoffs by a few points so I really look at that when I am drafting.

Okay, I had to bite on Pat White..... let's see what happens....
laxref
08-06-2008, 01:29 AM
I spent most of the morning trying to decide between QB's Davis and White for my last pick. The difference for me was that there is less chance of injury for Davis (who will now break a leg on the first snap of the year). Last year I picked up White mid-season and rode him into the play-offs.

Mike Ford tied a Florida high school record by rushing for 200+ yards in 11 consecutive games.
I think he'll be a star this year for USF.
Bayou Bengal
08-06-2008, 02:13 AM
Man, tough taking a TE as my 1st WR in the 4th round but it appears he was the best avaliable.
btw..in the other league I am in, Pat White went 1.10. And that league drafts from all BCS teams plus 10 additions. Think 4th round is good value for that pick.

Ford was a great pick. I just couldn't pass up on White any longer. Why? I just thought it would be fun to yell for the guy this year.... I got to visit Morgantown a few years back and the atmosphere was phenomenal....
Kadaver
08-06-2008, 04:56 AM
Nothing wrong with Pat White here.
He's like a RB and a QB, especially with Slaton gone.
Ford was definitely a finalist for my 3rd round pick. Could play a monster dividend.
Looks like we're pretty much done for the night here. Check in first thing in the a.m.
Justice

Extremely pleased to get Josh Adams here I had considered him with my last pick when I took Brown, so I am estatic that he made it back to me. He has a great chance to lead the ACC in rushing this season and make some noise.

LOL! I wish! I hurt it a few days aho! Have been slowed by it!
As for DeAndre Brown, I rolled the dice on the incoming frosh. I hear he is the real deal and I read he qualified, so that was enough for me!
De'Andre Brown is another interesting gamble at this point of the draft. I thought I might be able to get him a couple rounds down the line when I nominated So Miss. Of course, I was naive enough to think I could get Fletcher in the 2nd round.
mstella44
08-06-2008, 03:52 PM
Yeah I was thinking Brown wouldn't be there much longer, so I figured I'll jump at the chance!
Justice
08-06-2008, 04:06 PM
Duk you must have been smoking something to think that Fletcher would be available in the 2nd round, as for DeAndre a bit early if you ask me, he may pan out but you could have gotten him a round or two later.
mstella44
08-06-2008, 04:10 PM
See, I think I might have gotten him at 5.03, but I don't think he would have lasted til 6.10. So I figured I would just make it a bit higher for the bust awards at the end of the year! LOL!

Yeah no kidding. Round 2 would have been quite a steal for Fletcher.
Justice
08-06-2008, 04:13 PM
I would gurantee you would have gotten him at 5.03 but you are right you may not have gotten him a 6.10.
EMoney
08-06-2008, 05:03 PM
I'll be on the road between 11:30 and 2 pm so if someone could call me when I am up that would be wonderful.
Gotta figure that Jones didn't go to Alabama unless Saban basically promised to focus the entire offense on him. And he, as much as almost any player in the country, has the talent to carry an offense. Should be interesting.
Kadaver
08-06-2008, 06:57 PM
I was hoping to get Jones two rounds from now.
That's the second time you did that to me, duk.
seaone22
08-06-2008, 07:07 PM
im up and running again e. we'll see how long it lasts.
i thought jones and brown would be there for alittle bit. just depends if qb can get them the ball.
torrain and josh were good piicks at this time. was waiting till it came back to me before i went after them. good picks guys.
weird draft so far tho. alot of guys going later than i thought.
Collie was a player going in near the top of my draft list for WR, but that stress fracture in his leg scared me off.
Actually 3 week vacation for Childs, as he's suspended Week 1.
I was hoping to get Jones two rounds from now.
That's the second time you did that to me, duk.
I've quit keeping track of how many times the players I wanted are going right in front of me. My draft list is just a list of crossed out names at this point.

08-06-2008, 08:15 PM

Uh Oh. I though Boise was only off week 2? Whoops.
You're right, he's suspended Week 1, and then off Week 2, but does miss 3 out of the first 5 weeks. Boise has a pretty funky schedule this year. At least he plays all the way through the playoffs and into the finals.
seaone22
08-06-2008, 09:08 PM
well i was looking at those two and now you have helped me out. cubbard kind of bare on wr.
Anybody call Emoney yet, per his request?
Kadaver
08-06-2008, 09:41 PM
I would, but I can't from work. Besides, he should be done by now. He said he'd be out of pocket until 2 p.m. his time. It's way past that now.
mstella44
08-06-2008, 10:12 PM
That's why I didn't seek calling him too. I thought he would be done by now.

Hopefully that pick pays off. Again, sorry for the delay.

sorry, funny thing is I was going between Briscoe and Benn....thought the upside, talent, and athleticism is better with Benn but Briscoe has the QB to get the ball to him more.
dunno
was hoping to get Briscoe on the turn
Justice
08-07-2008, 01:38 AM
I considered Benn with my Pick but it boiled down to their QB's for me and who I thought could do a better job of getting them the ball.
EMoney
08-07-2008, 02:19 AM
SeaOne said he needs some time to decide his next pick and will be on the internet in 30 minutes to make it.

Thanks for the update. Don't know anything about the CMU running back. Need to read up on him.

My list was:
Benn
Brisco
Britton
and I think Michael Jones ASU
I have seen two publications that say the Kansas receiver will step up along with Fields... we'll see.
Benn would have gone 5.11 if not 5.10
--Scorp
Would love to make another pick tonight, but know the chances of that are slim and none. Don't know if anyone saw my note in the Add Your Team thread, but I'd really like to throw the idea around this off-season about making this a strictly BCS-eligible league. It would eliminate some fun teams, but would still create a much more attractive draft pool all-in-all imo.
I'm about to throw my skull through my monitor.

Name some BCS teams that we could benefit from this season that we do not use. South Carolina and Oregon St is all that immediately come to mind.

oh man, could go on and on. Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Cal, Okie St. there's alot.

Actually it was Royster, but ya, then McKnight, and pretty much every player who's been taken since my last pick.
laxref
08-07-2008, 04:23 AM
My thinking on my last pick came down to McKnight, ****, and ****. Went with the versatility.
Edit due to name dropping.

Minnesota, Northwestern, Oklahoma St., UMASS (oops, sorry...already fired up for the alma mater's run to the finals against App. St.)
Oklahoma St and NW would be nice. Also in the SEC Arkansas should produce a couple of starters. I still like it the way we play though. The league wouldn't be the same without some of the wide open offenses like NMSt and Hawaii (now SMU).
EMoney
08-07-2008, 04:29 AM

I've been sweating Royster out for a while now. I was beginning to second guess picking Robinson when I did but it worked out. SeaOne was scaring me on the phone as he was thinking of taking a rb and I just knew he was going to say both Hoskins and Royster. That dude was evil, he kept saying stuff like I know you need another rb so I better get one now. I told him I was probably going to go a different direction than RB with the pick. Fortunately he went with the ASU receiver. :D
well, I think we could comfortably go with all-BCS and still go with the one wild-card selection though.
Paddy Harrington seriously sounds like a leprichan.
Someone call Dagger and roust him and Justice off the blackjack tables and tell em to come in and make their picks.
seaone22
08-07-2008, 05:00 AM
good guess e. i was going to go royster and then thought hoskins has better teams to run against even tho they both have good lines to run behind but theres still some peeps still sitting there that im suprised to see still there so my later rounds should be interesting.
Scorpion
08-07-2008, 05:11 AM
I thought about McKnight with the 6.02 pick, but decided to get a WR. I've somehow thought I drafted good receivers in the past and they just plain suck....
Maybe my luck will change?
oh well, doesnt' look like another pick gets made tonight. Give me some time to refresh my beat up draft list. Honestly think there's two names left on it from my original list, and I'm sure they're the next two picks.
Kadaver
08-07-2008, 07:51 AM
I'd have loved Fields (went a pick before me), but Dagger has two picks before my next one, and though I'd be happy with a couple different QBs, I thought I might as well take my pick of the QBs.
Dagger2
08-07-2008, 11:54 AM
Sorry guys, was watching tv on the couch at around 9:30 and next thing I know it is 6:30 AM and I am still on the couch.
I was definitely taking a qb this round, debated a couple.
Need to get my draft list updated here and I'll have a pick up.
mstella44
08-07-2008, 02:30 PM
Back to Back Seminoles. LOL! I have a feeling he is in store for a pretty big senior year. We'll see.
I think Antone was my 3rd round pick last year. He played hurt almost all last year, so I know he's at least got some toughness. Main thing with me was at least I know what he's basically capable of, and he fills in all my holes at RB on my schedule.
EMoney
08-07-2008, 03:07 PM
Antone Smith = :|
Hey, at this point of the draft, I got a feature back who had a combined 1,000 yard year last year. I'll take it. Finished 2007 with a career-high 156 yards rushing in a bowl game albeit against Kentucky.
Kadaver
08-07-2008, 03:53 PM
Antone Smith is a fine pick.
I'd have taken him with my next pick, if only because he plays his first two games against D-IAA teams -- and bad D-IAA teams, at that.
EMoney
08-07-2008, 04:14 PM
