I flipped a coin between MJD and romo

Danny · 08-24-2011, 11:11 PM

I really like the Romo pick. I think he will be just as good or better than Brees and Rivers.

Masked · 08-24-2011, 11:52 PM

2.8 Matt Schaub, QB, Hou

Masked · 08-25-2011, 12:12 AM

I'll check in first thing tomorrow morning, but I'm on the west coast, so I may push the two hours if I come on the clock at 8am est (5am here).

2.9 Greg Jennings wr gb

TRO · 08-25-2011, 08:19 AM

Grr, was hoping for a nice 1-2 punch there

.

Picking momentarily. Got to update my board.

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 08:23 AM

I was kindof hoping Jennings would fall, too, but I figured that was a false hope

SI

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 08:23 AM

I have one more that I'm hoping will fall but I suspect he'll also go before I get to pick again

SI

TRO · 08-25-2011, 08:36 AM

2.10 - Frank Gore, RB, SF

3.1 - Hakeem Nicks, WR, NYG

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-25-2011, 08:51 AM

3.2
Steven Jackson, RB StL

Masked · 08-25-2011, 09:29 AM

3.3 Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pit

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 09:48 AM

Woo! The guy I wanted dropped

3.4 QB Matt Ryan, ATL

This reminds of the year I had, I think it was, Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck back when both were top QB picks in the first three rounds. I seem to remember that ending badly, tho, for my team

SI

TRO · 08-25-2011, 10:05 AM

If Ryan didn't share a bye week with Rodgers, I would have taken him. Still not sure if I made the right decision, I think he's going to have a great year.

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 10:37 AM

Well, I'm happy about it

This is about as perfect a first three picks as I could have expected

SI

Scoobz0202 · 08-25-2011, 11:14 AM

3.5 Josh Freeman QB TB

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 02:27 PM

I figured this would happen, Hawaii time

I'm here may I have a minute?

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 02:39 PM

3.6 Reggie Wayne Wr Ind

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 02:43 PM

Mendenhall is a fine pick, but I prefer a consistent WR at this point.

rafini · 08-25-2011, 02:56 PM

Well, I've already got Chris Johnson so I might as well take another risk:

3.7 - Peyton Manning, QB, Ind

TRO · 08-25-2011, 03:00 PM

Was wondering when he'd come off the board.

Butter · 08-25-2011, 03:50 PM

3.8- WR Miles Austin, DAL

Julio Riddols · 08-25-2011, 04:06 PM

3.9 - QB Eli Manning, NYG

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 04:09 PM

I think Eli is a solid solid pick there, I was hoping he would fall to me

Julio Riddols · 08-25-2011, 04:12 PM

I nearly passed on him, but something told me he wasn't far away from getting picked. Now I hope danny takes one of the 2 guys I like for 4.2 so I don't have to flip a coin.

TRO · 08-25-2011, 04:29 PM

You know, he could take both

Julio Riddols · 08-25-2011, 04:30 PM

If he does, he will be 3 for 4 on guys I wanted then

Danny · 08-25-2011, 05:32 PM

Im here now, will have my picks up in a few after crossing off names on my list.

Danny · 08-25-2011, 05:36 PM

Wow, my choice is easy. Can't believe these two guys are available.

3.10 RB Darren McFadden OAK
4.1 RB Rashard Mendenhall PIT

Julio Riddols · 08-25-2011, 05:40 PM

4.2 - RB Felix Jones, DAL

I think hes finally gonna get the rock this year.. I friggin hope.

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 06:00 PM

Yeah, Danny- those are nice picks this late, Mendenhall in particular. But, again, I'd rather have a top 5 QB in this league than a top 5 RB- they're a little harder to come by. That said, we're talking about picks 30 and 31- not much excuse he's out on the board

Yahoo and thread updated through 4.2

SI

Butter · 08-25-2011, 06:56 PM

4.3 - QB Matthew Stafford, DET

Butter · 08-25-2011, 06:59 PM

He better not blow out his shoulder in Week 2 either like last year.

Danny · 08-25-2011, 07:36 PM

This year I may end up with two Alex smiths

Julio Riddols · 08-25-2011, 07:46 PM

Injury concerns are the only reason I chose Felix Jones over Stafford. If he does stay healthy, I think he is potentially top 5 QB material.

rafini · 08-25-2011, 07:50 PM

4.4 - Mike Wallace, WR, Pitt

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 08:32 PM

4.5 Matt Forte Rb Chi

Scoobz0202 · 08-25-2011, 08:36 PM

4.6 Vincent Jackson WR SDC

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 08:40 PM

lol, i flipped a coin between jackson and forte!

Scoobz0202 · 08-25-2011, 08:41 PM

Yea. I am actually pretty excited he fell to me. Last round I took Larry Fitzgerald and I actually was debating between Fitz and Jackson, so to get both I am extremely pleased.

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 08:41 PM

yea i think jackson is a steal here. I just looked at rb depth and after a couple more guys it gets fairly weak imo

and Forte was at the top of my list of guys left and I like the receptions he should get. new he wouldnt last.

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 08:43 PM

hopefully this year turns out better but my team seems to be similar. fingers crossed everyone stays healthy, injuries kicked my ass last season.

Scoobz0202 · 08-25-2011, 08:45 PM

I also just realized that Fitz and Jackson have the same bye week.

Oh well, I thought the value was too good lol

k0ruptr · 08-25-2011, 08:47 PM

I realized I havent been paying attention to bye weeks, I'm usually good about it. looked it up and I've gotten lucky so far

by this time of the season you can find bye week value on the waiver wire. usually anyway.

sterlingice · 08-25-2011, 08:51 PM

Ok, I'm here but i'm catching up- it'll take me a little bit

SI

Danny · 08-25-2011, 08:55 PM

You shouldn't worry about by weeks early in the draft, take the player who will provide you the most value
