Rounds 7-11 Discussion Thread

[EMoney]

:floet:

[mstella44]

Anyone have Steebo's number? I'm not so sure he realizes he double picked -- or I could be wrong!

[Kadaver]

I P.M.ed him.

Hopefully he'll log on.

Or, doesn't EMoney have his list?

[Steebo]

Sorry, I overlooked Jones.


Making replacement soon.

[mstella44]

OK cool.

[Steebo]

Maybe I didnt double pick this time. :clap:

[mstella44]

Looks good to me!

[mstella44]

Anyone have Hog Chow's pick?

[duk]

Pretty sure that Justice was able to get ahold of Hog Chow.

[mstella44]

Cool. Thanks for the draft by position post too duk! That's cool!

[Justice]

I have let HC know that he is up and he said he should have a 30 minute break in between meetings and he will post then, if not he will email me his selection, he said he needed to look at some things.

[Scorpion]

7:01 - Keegan Herring, RB, ASU

Damn you Steebo!! I wanted Herring with my next pick. I think you should get Michael Jones younger sister Monica and be stuck with her as your pick since you were the first to (as usual) screw up. Now you friggin screwed up MY draft, too.

(note: I guess this is my way of saying nice pick you 'Bama hoser you!)

[Steebo]

I wish I was as excited about the pick as you are. :D



I guess its because I thought I had Jones, then had to settle for Herring.

[Scorpion]

And of course I'd have gotten Herring about a round later... oh well, I honestly think he'll carry most of the load for ASU

[EMoney]

If I had a phone # for Stella I would call him.

[mstella44]

Sorry I dozed off after waiting for Hog Chow! LOL! But my pick is in!

[Justice]

Just got in from cutting the grass, let me look at a few things and I will make my pick in a few.

[Kadaver]

I gave you my LOD team, Dagger, and this is how you repay me?!?!

[Dagger2]

I gave you my LOD team, Dagger, and this is how you repay me?!?!

:snicker:

I just couldn't pass on Reesing even though he has the same bye as Max Hall.

[laxref]

Give me a few minutes ... last 2 picks killed my train of thought.

[Kadaver]

You knew I had to get a Seminole on the team.

He'll miss the first few games (and some crap-ass opponents, so a waste of a chance to rack up some phat numbers), but he should be the go-to guy when he gets back.

[duk]

Was looking at Parker with my next round of picks, but after taking Julio Jones felt like I needed a solid starter, so went with Cosby. Parker, like Childs, could end up paying off big-time.

[laxref]

From ESPN: Gators' Ingram gone for season because of torn ACL

[EMoney]

From ESPN: Gators' Ingram gone for season because of torn ACL

Time to draft Harvin :hyper:

[Kadaver]

From ESPN: Gators' Ingram gone for season because of torn ACL

Thanks for posting this. I was considering him with my next pick.

Thank goodness I took Harvin.

[mstella44]

Dave. You are underestimating the North Marion Colts alum! I think Carr is gonna have a good year so he can get drafted. I think the Noles are actually going to have a pretty good season this year. I think with some of the new players at FSU, maybe it will free Carr up a bit more. We'll see.

[Kadaver]

Carr needs to learn how to work hard first.

Then the Seminoles have to pass protect better.

Then the FSU coaches have to give the QB the green light to throw the fade and the fly patterns, since that's all Carr can run.

Did I mention that FSU needs a QB?

[EMoney]

The west coast guy is otc in the morning.

[Justice]

Its his own fault for going to the Cardinals Saints game and having a few beers, we should take him out back and hang him for participating in such debotchery lol.

[EMoney]

agreed

[Scorpion]

agreed

okay okay, my bad. I did 6 miles on the bike, had a telecon this morning, wore a shirt my daughter picked out, and have already had 2 meetings....
hey, at least I picked last night to move it along a little!!!

DAMN>..... RUN!

[Scorpion]

And the LSU Cherry is broken.

You mean for the passing game... K. Williams RB was taken earlier, but I thought I'd take a shot that they may have a decent QB on the bench and see what Byrd can do......

[Bayou Bengal]

you saw my post didnt you Scorp

[duk]

That's why I had deleted my post, I remembered that Williams had already gone.

[EMoney]

Crawford was a good pick. I like his potential to put up good fantasy stats.

[Kadaver]

He was national JUCO player of the year. He's only there for 2 years, so I don't think they can sit him for long. He's got to play NOW.

[EMoney]

I don't have Dagger's email with me at the moment. Can someone that has it send him a list of who has been drafted or pass along his email through a pm and I will do that.

[mstella44]

Just sent you a pm of Daggers email address.

[EMoney]

Thanks Stella, I'm on it.

[Scorpion]

you saw my post didnt you Scorp

ummmm no? I don't think I did....

[Scorpion]

8.6 Joe Ganz, QB Nebraska DANG!!!

I was hoping he'd fall until late in the next round.... he fit my bye weeks perfectly....

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[duk]

anybody able to reach Justice by any chance? Heading out here soon and was hoping to get a pick in, and then send a list in for my next round.

[mstella44]

I grabbed Blount for some security with Johnson's ACL injury last year. He is supposed to be fine, but you never know!

[Scorpion]

nice pick and with the TD's he'll get, you may want to start him... He was another I was looking at with 8.02, but I figured I'd snag a receiver thinking he may fall into the next round.

[Scorpion]

LeGarrette

What's up with all the French Names lately

LeRon?
LeGarrett?

:dunno:

[Dagger2]

It is a pretty nice gamble at this spot with Johnson, Emoney. I searched all over looking for just a little hint that he would get the nod, but I wasn't confident that he had a clear edge. That's why I went Reesing over him last round.

[Dagger2]

How could no UCONN player be selected until I took Donald Brown???? I am shocked.

Get used to them in the pool, though. I am a season ticket holder. :yes:

[laxref]

As a loyal UMASS grad I say BOOOO! Though I have to admit that growing up in WMass I used to go down to UConn to football games on our off weeks during hs football season. Great tailgating! I miss the days in the old Yankee conf. UMASS-UCONN had some great battles.

[EMoney]

How could no UCONN player be selected until I took Donald Brown???? I am shocked.

I had been debating whether or not to pick at you for the selection.

[mstella44]

We wait all that time and then Steebo takes my damn pick! Aargh!

[seaone22]

man its going slow this year.

[seaone22]

are we drafting on the weekends? cant remember if we are.

[mstella44]

Give me a few minutes here. I'll make a pick.

[EMoney]

are we drafting on the weekends? cant remember if we are.

Yes, but it is not mandatory so it has been a slow go this weekend. We are halfway done though so that is a positive.

[Kadaver]

Guess I waited a round too long on Lester.

[Justice]

I had been looking at him the last few rounds and was kind of surprised he had not been picked yet and could not let him pass anymore.

[duk]

I had given Lester some consideration, but there was the combination of going to the spread offense, and the almost complete split of workload in the backfield, along with no real goalline touches, that made me shy away from him. Still, with the right circumstances falling, he could pay off nicely.

[laxref]

Sorry about that last pick; I am doing 2 drafts this morning. Sent both picks to the wrong group.

[duk]

I selected Quan Cosby a couple rounds ago.

[EMoney]

I selected Quan Cosby a couple rounds ago.

thanks for the call. I just corrected the pick.

[EMoney]

My schedule today

I have a meeting 30 minutes from here at 10:30 and another meeting 30 minutes from my office at 2:00.

[Scorpion]

I selected Quan Cosby a couple rounds ago.

Ack! duk, that's my fault. I did a page search for Cosby and realized I must have typed it incorrectly somehow.... so I sent him in the list I sent to EMoney... my bad on that one.

I see quite clearly you took him in the 7th... (or was it because I was watching the Americans beat the loud mouthed FRENCHIES).... either way, my fault!

--Scorp

[EMoney]

Man, this is a shitty start to the draft today.

[Scorpion]

Man, this is a shitty start to the draft today.

i agree. I went out of my WAY to get you a list so I wouldn't hold things up......

DAMN! :D

[EMoney]

i agree. I went out of my WAY to get you a list so I wouldn't hold things up......

DAMN! :D

You did fine.

[Hog Chow]

Less than 20 minutes before his first pick expires...hopefully he shows but what happens if it does expire? It's already the last pick in the round and we can't skip him as he has the next pick as well.

Just curious... :dunno:

Has anyone emailed seaone?

[Scorpion]

Honestly, he should get another "clock" as he has back to back.... and no skippage.... so far I think everyone has done a good job drafting (bastages) and doing it timely... well, except Steebo! :wigglypea:

[EMoney]

I just got off the phone with SeaOne and he should be picking within a few minutes.

[Steebo]

well, except Steebo! :wigglypea:

:headscratch:

[seaone22]

sorry guys, when i looked this morning i seen emoney draft but didnt pay attention it was for scorpion or else i wouldve been done already.

[Scorpion]

:headscratch:

Come on Steebo, I HAVE to trash talk you.. it makes the Iron Colors War all that much more fun!!!

[Scorpion]

Okay, someone please remind the old feeble one here (no, not Hog Chow, ME!!) how many rounds is this draft again???

Thanks!

(I'd look in the rules, but I can't get the link to come up that was sent for some reason).

--Scorp

[Justice]

It is 18 rounds unless something changed since last year.

[Hog Chow]

Okay, someone please remind the old feeble one here (no, not Hog Chow, ME!!)



Now why would anyone connect me to a an old feeble mind?! :sadbanana:

[EMoney]

It is 18 rounds

that is correct

[Kadaver]

Jesus H. ... what the hell is taking so long today?

[EMoney]

Jesus H. ... what the hell is taking so long today?

We are cursed today.

[Scorpion]

Jesus H. ... what the hell is taking so long today?

No doubt! Perhaps all my players should have been drafted in the 10th round and no one can figure out who goes here??? :moe:

[Scorpion]

Now why would anyone connect me to a an old feeble mind?! :sadbanana:

I was focusing on the old! :lol:

[Dagger2]

And another UCONN player! That makes two :unsure:

Dixon is one of my favorite UCONN players. He really stepped up when Brown was hurt/struggled.

[duk]

Will be pretty shocked if another one gets drafted by anyone else except a total homer.

[duk]

It would be cool if we could sorta figure out a time to all meet here and get through the backend of this draft. I work on-line from home, so I'm available basically 24/7.

[Dagger2]

I was actually happy that the draft slowed a little today because of a brutal day at work, but I think it has been a uncharacteristically slow draft overall this year.

[mstella44]

Can anyone get in touch with Steebo? We should get this draft in overdrive if we can!

[EMoney]

I talked with Steebo and he was researching his pick. It shouldn't be much longer but I do sympathize with two in a row at a critical point in the draft with not much obvious talent left.

[mstella44]

I hear ya! It's hitting the tough part here!

[EMoney]

So Shannon Woods finally went. I wonder if he will suck as bad as he did last season. I considered him last round, shhhh.

[Dagger2]

So Shannon Woods finally went. I wonder if he will suck as bad as he did last season. I considered him last round, shhhh.

"The quickest remedy might be a return to form from Woods, whose production dropped last season. In 2006, he had 926 yards rushing and 572 receiving on 75 catches. He’s gone from 7.0 yards per carry in limited duty in 2005 to 6.1 per carry in his career year to 5.2 last year.

Woods seems to have regained Tech coach Mike Leach’s confidence.

“He’s worked his (butt) off,” Leach said. “He worked ridiculously hard in the offseason, then had a good spring. My suspicion is he’s going to be pretty good, if I were to guess right now, based on the material of several months.”"

That was from August 6th. Good gamble at this spot, I hope.

You may get one heck of a return on this pick then.

[Hog Chow]

Email and text sent to Scorp.

[EMoney]

Email and text sent to Scorp.

Thank you. I was traveling home from work when the Bayou pick came in.

[EMoney]

I just got off the phone with SeaOne. He will be making his picks shortly so we should keep moving along tonight.

[duk]

How could no UCONN player be selected until I took Donald Brown???? I am shocked.

Get used to them in the pool, though. I am a season ticket holder. :yes:


This is a cold, cruel lady we dance with, this fantasy football.

Yikes. My friends were yelling at me when they found out I had him on the bench. I was at the game, they were facing a D 1 AA team, and Andre Dixon was out!!!!!!! But instead I start Arian Foster at UCLA.

I am happy that Brown looked so good, though. I expect a big rebound from his sub par year last season.

[duk]

Well, looks like Unga is more than making up for the points from Brown.

And speaking of Cold, Cruel ladies, holding my breath on the news of Beanie Wells.

[Dagger2]

Unga was starting no matter what. It was the decision to start Foster v. UCLA that I think I am going to regret big time.

Didn't you also leave all of Max Hall's stats on the bench? :D

[Dagger2]

Didn't you also leave all of Max Hall's stats on the bench? :D

:sadbanana:

Definitely not one of my better weeks.

[duk]

Looks like you'll still ring up the W after Moore's dismal performance against Rutgers. Guess I better wait until league play before I can expect him to be able to get open.
