2006 Draft commentary thread.

[Steebo]

I guess we need one of these.:yes:

[SigEp316]

I actually struggled with my pick....hopefully Maroney succeeds, he's in a good system to be productive....we shall see.

I can't believe Addai went where he did :eek:

[EMoney]

I can't believe Addai went where he did :eek:

Yeah, I just don't ever remember him being all that dominant at LSU. He had health issues as well. I think Rhodes can take him.

[SigEp316]

Yeah, I just don't ever remember him being all that dominant at LSU. He had health issues as well. I think Rhodes can take him.


I can't believe he went in the first round of the NFL fraft...and then to see him go 2nd here, I guess most people are under the impression that with the Colts passing offense, anyone can run there.

Joseph Addai = Kevin Faulk except Faulk was better in college, I was arguing at FFtogay with some LSU homer about this last week.




Disclaimer: NFL scouts know more than me and they obviously know something about Addai that I don't. However, like steemoney, I watch a lot of SEC foozball and this guy has never been better than an average collegiate back.

[Jay]

Addai is a tough one. It's the pick that I expected to have to make at 1.4
There is no arguing that he steps into the best possible situation to succeed. If he can win a full time load in Indy, we're talking serious fantasy football points. I haven't seen as much SEC football as a lot of people here (Big Ten country), but I've seen highlights, and I've read the scouting reports, and I wasn't overly impressed with Addai, and he seems to have a lengthy injury history as well. I thought he was the fourth best fantasy back.....and arguably even the fifth, though I would have taken him at four if Bush, Williams and Maroney were gone.

[Jay]

For those who see a lot of LSU, how does Addai stack up to a Dominick Davis comparison?

[SigEp316]

For those who see a lot of LSU, how does Addai stack up to a Dominick Davis comparison?

I think they're different backs...totally.

Addai has an upright style and just doesn't look smooth running the ball. He ran typically out of the shotgun with draws and tosses.

I would actually compare Dom's style with DeAngelo's. Both have great balance and anticipation and look comfortable running the ball, I don't see that with Addai at all. I can't see him being that productive in pro-ball, but only time will tell.

[whoisjgalt]

I just cleared the commentary crap out of the fraft pick thread.

If you wish to have those comments preserved, repost 'em here.

Let's keep the number of replies in the fraft pick thread the same as the number of picks that have been made.

[Dagger]

I really struggled between Addai and Maroney. I see DeAngelo williams as a Kevin Faulk clone, not Addai. I think he got lost in the shuffle at LSU and when he got the opportunity to play he did well. This was not a pick where I wanted to get a guy who had the best opportunity to start right away. I wanted to take the best player available, and to me that was Addai. I can wait for him to develop, as my team is atrocious.

[S.D. Jones]

What did Steebo get from EMoney for his first rounder in their original trade?

[Jay]

Corey Dillon.

[EMoney]

I'm mulling over some possibilities guys. Anyone interested in trading up?

[EMoney]

I know that I didn't need another RB but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Surely one of the USC RBs will pan out if not both. The WSIS decisions should get pretty interesting this year.

I got the two guys I was targeting in Leinart and Chad Jackson. I'll be ready for round 3 when it rolls around in June.

Had I kept my pick, this was the player I was taking.

[S.D. Jones]

Had I kept my pick, this was the player I was taking.

I figured that. I was then going to trade out with Jay.

[Jay]

Obviously, I was very interested in making something happen to get Young. I see him as a fantasy football difference-maker of the Daunte Culpepper variety. I think Williams and Young make great building blocks for the future. Some risk, surely, but I have faith that the Titans (specificly Chow) can develop Young.

[dirty dug]

Great, I had Norwood and Drew slotted for this pick, I thought it was going to be a tough choice.

How could I pass up a PAc 10 qb? Especially one from Oregon? That almost guarantees success in the NFL.

Debated between him and one other person, but like I said, I am not looking for an immediate impact player, I just need to take the best players available on my board. Hopefully two of the Clemens, Alex Smith, Jason Campbell trioka become starters 1-2 years down the road. Smith has already shown flashes of a young TJ Rubley.

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple, especially with the history gone. The site is supposed to be the source of record, but it's wrong quite a lot actually. Realisticly, we should have fixed this before the draft, but no one ever wants to advertise that a questionable player might be available in case people "forgot" about him.

Exactly. There's not too many players exciting me. I was glad to get Wilson here just based on his scouting report...but on my list of 4 that I started the morning with not one player gave me some blood flow.

Also, I thought Leonard Pope at 2.11 was a real nice pick. :clap:

[SigEp316]

my 1.08 pick is on the NFL channel right now sayin' what a bad ass he is...

:jerk:

[whoisjgalt]

I went to bed last night with Merkin OTC and knowing that Pope would go before I picked. I had Croyle and Harrison in mind for 2.12 and figured I'd get Croyle (Harrison to Merkin, Pope to Gutter). So I trade my 4th TE and two picks that would prolly never have a chance to stick with my team to get a possible QB of the future in KC. Kind of a no risk move IMO.

I think Avant will be a nice complement to Brown in Philly. Good size and hands. He'll go over the middle, run great routes and catch the ball. I'd have taken him if he was there with my pick.

Demetrius Williams has loads of talent, but Baltimore couldn't develop a wide receiver to save their lives so I'm probably pissing in the wind.

I wanted to take him, but I already shot my load with the future of the Queens.

If the guy wasn't gutterwaif thin I'd probably have taken him anyways.

I like the Daniels pick. I had him rated above a couple of guys that went in the first round. Jackson is a complete wildcard for me. I know nothing about him.

[whoisjgalt]

So far, I think I'm doing well despite missing out on the top eleven guys. I cast off some depth at a deep position (TE) and even replaced some of it by dealing Moulds for the MLewis pick. I get some potential at QB and RB. And I get a guy who'll save me from having to potentially start Mathis or Parrish or Rogers at least for a year or two.

Give: 1.12 2.12 5.12 6.03 Moulds Franks LJSmith Henson '07_2nd
Get: Norwood Horn Walter MLewis Harrison Croyle

Also, I was prolly going to be cutting Henson Franks 5.12 & 6.03 sooner rather than later anyway.

Horn > Moulds
MLewis > Franks
Walter > Henson
and hopefully with McMichael Winslow MLewis I won't miss LJSmith

[Merkin]

Jackson is a complete wildcard for me. I know nothing about him.

Either Childress & the rest of the brain trust are a bunch of clueless wonders (possibly) or Jackson was taken as the heir apparrent. (also possible based on some of the raves you hear about him)

If this was a Tice regime pick, I wouldn't go near it. The way I break it down with my homer glasses firmly wrapped on my head Chris Sabo style, the Queens traded the franchise QB (injury ?'s) and will rely on an aging QB with, IMO, a limited arsenal. (I thought he looked horseshit last season and got the wins by playing steady freddy and letting the D beat up on the weaker opponents) They didn't go after any of the free agents and I was SHOCKED they didn't trade up with the extra 2nd & 3rd rounders to take Cutler or Lienart. So the big question is, did they get outplayed by Denver's poker face with Cutler or do they know something with Jackson? :dunno:

I will say that Childress (who I know nothing about) is giving me an uneasy feeling. He keeps pulling in some of his past players which makes me think he is relying on past comfort levels to gauge player talent. Couple that with the whole Foley (player personell guy who was canned) and I don't know WTF.

[Jay]

Oh, I understand the value. Clearly the Vikings have Jackson pegged as the future quarterback for the Vikings. He was a bit of an undercurrent in the draft, though. I didn't read ANYTHING about him until the draft got really close, and even then, I don't feel like I know anything about him, being a small school prospect.

A lot of coaches bring in guys that they are comfortable with or are comfortable with the system to help them teach system to the new team.
Parcells drags his former players with him everywhere.

I agree about the "vibes" with the Childress regime so far, though. I think the whole Foley thing made the draft really odd for the Vikings as well. I originally thought the Jackson pick was a reach, but I heard undercurrents that there were other teams interested. We'll see, I guess.
Personally, I'm glad that someone else has him, because it would be a blind pick for me.

[Merkin]

I would have preferred Kellen Clemens at that spot, but I just missed out. Very weak draft (from a FF perspective) this year. IMO, there were only 7 or 8 players that I'd rate well above the 'hit or miss" tier. Once Davis went off the board you had 13, 14 players all bunched together with Young & Mercedes Lewis standing out above them.

I agree, very weak draft in terms of second-tier prospects. Not enough top-level talent to make it through the first round. Some intriguing "hit or miss" players all the way through the end of the draft, but overall, not deep like other drafts in the past.

I saw 11 quality prospects with a couple more tight ends of marginal worth (Lewis and Pope). I have a higher view of Young than many. If Leinert wouldn't have gone to Arizona, Young would have been the #1 fantasy quarterback on my board. The top 11 were the first 11 picked here, not surprisingly.

After each pick, I have an ideal player in mind for the next pick, and for me, Jacobs was that pick. He's got some problems with his throwing motion, but the kid has EXTREME talent. There were many talking about him as the best QB in the 2006 draft before he fought through an injury-riddled and solid, but unspectacular junior season. It was a bit surprising that Jacobs came out as a junior, considering the season he had, but he's a major talent, and I'm thrilled to get him this late.

Sure, he's behind Roethlisberger, but these things happen.

Dagger told us he just wanted an update a few picks before his and he'd send a list. I did that twice yesterday and Jay did it again today - no list so far.

I left my next pick with Galt should Fagger show up anytime in the next couple hours. :wigglypea:

[Jay]

A couple of athletic specimens in Reggie McNeal and Ruvell Martin.

With McNeal's height and speed and understanding of the passing games, I think he'll make a quality wide receiver eventually...maybe not in Cincy where they are stacked, but somewhere.

Martin might be a similar situation. There is a lot of competition for spots in Green Bay too, and he's not a special teams guy. With his height, wingspan and freakish leaping ability, someone should be utilizing this guy on the goalline at least. He had a nice stint in NFL Europe as well.

[Dagger]

Sorry guys, yet another unexpected meeting :no: Work has been killing me.

But I am very excited to get the #5 tight end for New England, and a potential # 6 WR for Green Bay :points:

[EMoney]

So what's the deal with Megla?

So I think Megla's pick will drop to the end of the round when (if) he times out in a few minutes. (Another stupid rule - hurts the bad teams more than the good ones in four of the six rounds.)

[Steebo]

He picked, though it was a few minutes after his alloted time. Cant remember if it drops him immediately or if both he and E$ are OTC.

*goes to look up official rules*

There had to be some sort of incentive to keep the draft moving. If you think the draft if slow NOW......it was much worse before this rule went into effect. :poke:

[Steebo]

This is all the rules state:

"There is a 24 hour time limit per pick, in the event that the time expires that owner’s pick will be moved to the end of that round."

So I guess EMoney is OTC and Megla has to forfeit his pick and wait till the end.

Sound right?

[Steebo]

You are correct. In the future, however, perhaps we can go to a different solution.

Maybe if a person elapses their alloted time they are no moved to the end of the round but remain OTC untill they pick. In other words, they can pick as soon as they are able but the people after them are also OTC.

Under our current rules Megla loses his pick ans is moved to the end.

Under different rules maybe he is still OTC but so is EMoney. Then if E$ picks first Megla and the Next person are OTC, and so on.

In this particular case Megla would have gotten his pick and EMoney would be OTC, but as it stands Megla is screwed.

[whoisjgalt]

I'm not questioning the intent - some rule is needed. I'm questioning the way it's implemented. If DD lets his clock run out in rounds 1, 2, 3, or 5 then there's no penalty at all. If DD lets his clock run out in rounds 4 or 6 then he moves down a whole round. Why should it matter who's late and what round they are late in? The penalty ought to be the same regardless.

Steebo's idea is quite consistent with what most other leagues do.

5.11 Cornell Brockington, RB WAS

Isn't that the guy who left UConn early, only to go (I think) unfrafted?

[Merkin]

Total reach pick. He would have still been there at 6.04, everyone knows that. He should have traded out of that spot and grabbed Cornhole Bruffington at a later spot. :nono:



Motion to have Gutter replaced. Can I get a 2nd?

[Gutter]

Yes Galt, Junior from Uconn went undrafted, signed by the skins.

And Cornhole Buffington is gonna be a 1500 yard Rusher in 2008. He's the steal of the fucking draft. I'm hella smart.

[whoisjgalt]

The rule states:

3. There is a 24 hour time limit per pick, in the event that the time expires that owner’s pick will be moved to the end of that round.

There's nothing therein about this clock halting for weekends or holidays. So Steebo's also been moved back to the end of the round (I assume behind Megla). And Metz is OTC.

These stupid rules need changing. :screams:

[Steebo]

I was thinking that the clock stopped on weekends, but apparently not.

:dunno:

[Jay]

The clock has always stopped over the weekend. Any picks over the weekend were always "bonus" picks for moving the ball forward.

Very true...but it was always understood the clock stopped on the weekends. I have a pick ready, but I'm going to wait until Steebo makes his. :wigglypea:

[Jay]

I'm all for cleaning up the rules, and I'm all for someone making a pick. :screams:

GayMetz is taking his time for his next pick and researching his prospect thoroughly. He says he's leaning towards either Fred Lane or Rae Carruth.

Is Corey Stringer still on Dirty Douche's roster? Maybe GayMetz can take him?

Even better!!!! Thanks for clarifying. The last I saw was Gruden was considering him but I haven't checked ESPN headlines in a good week or so. :points:

Flying Merkins of Death draft recap:

Rd. 1: When I looked things over, I knew the 10 spot would be 1 or 2 picks outside of players I really would be excited over. I had predicted that one of the three QB's wouldmake it to me and was hoping it would be Cutler. Between QB not being a pressing need and my :| over Young I traded out. (That said, I almost stayed put to take Chad Jackson) Dropping 8 spots wasn't too bad a price to pay for Curtis Martin and Davenpoop(as well as the 2.04 which became Tav Jackson). I'm not a big fan of Martin and will be happy to get just 1 year from him. The way I look at it, with my QB & WR's I'm positioned to make a run. Martin gives me a little more flexibility depending on how the Barlow & T. Jones things work out. Davenpoop was a nice flyer for me. I don't buy the FB talk. I think Green is done and I see Gado as a poor mans Mewelde Moore. Should Davenpoop find a way to stay healthy (ala Fred Taylor) he could be the monster he was hyped up to be. :dunno:

Rd 2: I was holding out hope of landing Calhoun and tried to trade up. (knew he'd never make it though) After Mercedes Lewis was taken Nobody did much for me. I took Tav Jackson part as a homer and part due to situation. Brad Johnson sucks ass, I don't care if he had a 6 game win streak last season. My wife has a stronger arm. I really thought the Queens would make a play for either Lienart or Cutler, so them passing (unless Denver schooled them) and taking Jackson tells me something. My QB's have gotten old real quick.

PJ Daniels: Meh. It was either him or Pope, and I didn't feel like taking a TE.

Rd 3: Cedrick Humes, the heir to the Bus throne. Probably the best value of my draft. Legit shot at being the goalline back and I'm not a big fan of Parker. You never know.

Rd 4: Zach Hilton: I think I got the 2nd best TE available. Hopefully Brees continues his love of his TE.

DeArrius Howard. :nono: This pick was supposed to be one pick after I took Quentin Griffin. :wigglypea: I think Priest never plays again and is just dragging out the injury thing to delay when he can be cut, which allows him to continue getting paid. Howard is supposed to be an LJ clone and Griffin was a smaller, weaker Priest. I'd like to see Steven Davis brought in as a backup.

Rd 5: Traded the one pick for S. Davis as a flyer. We are in the part of the draft where players picked are just as likely to be cut soon. Interesting to see where/if he goes, he could help out a playoff run.

Brad Smith: Not the deepest of WR's on the Jets. He is quite the athelete. :dunno:

Rd. 6: Lionel Gates. A-train couldn't carck the top 4 in Dallas, and he's going to be the #2 in Bufalo? :no: With Willis a no show, Gates took the 1st team reps.



Very weak draft pool this year. I think I did ok in the position I was in. I think I have one more serious run at the title before I'm forced into rebuilding mode. It has been a long run with 1 championship won, 1 championship lost and two conference championships lost.

[Jay]

Merkin -- I think you did what you had to do early in the draft. Picking at 10, the RBs were all long shots. Martin and Davenport give your team some options. I really like PJ Daniels. I actually would have probably taken him at 2.5 if I had stayed put. With both Lewis and Anderson on 1-year deals, the underrated Daniels could even pull a "Rudi Johnson" for you.

Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, I don't know enough about Jackson to make a comment one way or the other.

I'm not thrilled by any of the rest of your picks, and I think they'll probably be off your roster in a year or two, but that's probably true for most late round picks in most years.

I continue to be surprised that Antowain Smith lasted as long as he did. As the clear backup to the injury-laden DD in Houston, he'll put up some fantasy points.....probably at least as many as Stephen Davis.
