As long as I end up winning.

How is this different that what teams did against the Browns last year?

I have to run to a meeting which will last an hour or so. I'll get my pick in when I get back.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-26-2011, 04:02 PM

I think Manningham is a great pick here.

Scoobz0202 · 08-26-2011, 04:18 PM

Ya. I was hoping he would fall, but I expect him to really to well this year.

sterlingice · 08-26-2011, 04:37 PM

I was surprised to see him still on the board. Frankly, if Davis were still on the board, I had him locked in from a round ago and I wouldn't have even looked around but when I saw him, the choice was easy.

SI

Masked · 08-26-2011, 04:52 PM

6.8 RB Mark Ingram, NO

Risky pick, but I like the upside and I think he'll get enough receptions to make up for the RB by committee in NO.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-26-2011, 06:19 PM

6.9 WR Santana Moss WAS

With Rex Grossman throwing to him, what could go wrong?

TRO · 08-26-2011, 06:32 PM

6.10 WR Jeremy Maclin, PHI
7.1 QB Matt Cassel, KC

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-26-2011, 06:39 PM

7.2 WR Mike Sims Walker STL

Danny · 08-26-2011, 07:27 PM

Hillis was an excellent pick in the 6th. All the tight end are good choices, they have a lot of value in our scoring system.

sterlingice · 08-26-2011, 07:49 PM

Ok, time to do some research and get my list down to 2 while waiting for my shiny, new Touchpad to do the WebOS update

Was going to go another route, but again, can't pass on value.

7.7 - Shonn Greene, RB, NYJ

rafini · 08-26-2011, 08:33 PM

Just a heads up that I'll more than likely lose power tomorrow afternoon/evening when the hurricane hits here, so if at any point my time limit runs out on a pick just start using the Yahoo rankings for my picks from then on out. I'll also try to put together a list before then.

Scoobz0202 · 08-26-2011, 08:35 PM

Pfft. Hurricane. Never heard that one before

sterlingice · 08-26-2011, 09:24 PM

Rafini, send myself or someone else a list before then, if you can.

Be safe this weekend. I already talked to my sister in Jacksonville, NC and they've been getting rain pretty much all day

SI

Danny · 08-27-2011, 06:47 AM

Are we still on the 2 hour clock over the weekend? I have four guys on my list, so I will be ready to pick.

Butter · 08-27-2011, 08:20 AM

7.8 - TE Owen Daniels, HOU

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 08:22 AM

7.9 - QB Kyle Orton, DEN

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 08:52 AM

Looks like we should fly through the next 5 picks, since all 4 of us are here.

Danny · 08-27-2011, 08:53 AM

7.10 QB Kevin Kolb ARI
8.01 QB Jay Cutler CHI

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 08:53 AM

Or the next 6..

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 08:53 AM

8.2 - Pittsburgh Defense

Danny · 08-27-2011, 08:55 AM

There was a couple other guys I was looking at, and I considered waiting hoping QB's wouldn't go off the board with a lot of them already gone, but I just can't pass up the top two QB's on my board as there was only 3 names total that I felt comfortable having as a starter.

Danny · 08-27-2011, 08:56 AM

And pretty funny that so far all of my picks have been doubles. 2 WR, 2 RB, 2 TE and then 2 QB

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 08:56 AM

I was wondering when you would finally get some QBs.. Not a bad couple to have for waiting this long.

Butter · 08-27-2011, 08:57 AM

8.3 - Green Bay Defense

sterlingice · 08-27-2011, 09:01 AM

If it's ok with everyone- I was going to relax it back to a 4 hour clock for the weekend. Does that seem reasonable? That way we don't kill someone's team with 3 or 4 picks if they are gone but we still keep up some speed and will get through at least a couple of rounds this weekend

SI

sterlingice · 08-27-2011, 09:01 AM

Did anyone get a list from Rafini?

EDIT: Never mind, looks like he still has power

SI

Yeah, with QB's flying off the board I wanted to try and get some value. I had about 20 guys I wouldn't mind having, but that list was down to 3, so I felt I had to get them. Plus I have both of them slightly higher than a couple of guys who were already drafted.

k0ruptr · 08-27-2011, 09:04 AM

4 hour clock would help me tons, I'm on graveyard shift but I get off in a few hours and need sleep

rafini · 08-27-2011, 09:04 AM

I'm still online for now, although we've had some flickers.

8.4 - Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, NYG

sterlingice · 08-27-2011, 09:06 AM

Yahoo and thread updated thru 8.4

SI

Danny · 08-27-2011, 09:07 AM

Great pick with Bradshaw. Best RB on the board and good value. I considered him and if I only had 1 RB I would have definitely grabbed him.

k0ruptr · 08-27-2011, 09:13 AM

yea thats a great pick, I was even considering taking him even tho my starters at rb are full lol.

in that case:

8.5 Percy Harvin WR Min

Danny · 08-27-2011, 09:17 AM

Harvin was the 4th guy I was looking at, another good pick.

k0ruptr · 08-27-2011, 09:19 AM

I wasn't sure if he would drop to next round or not, maybe but I feel like he could break out as #1 in minn, and 3rd year receiver if he stays healthy at least.

There was a couple other receivers left who could definitely out point him, but I felt the risk was a little less with him.

Julio Riddols · 08-27-2011, 09:20 AM

Minnesota should be forced to throw a lot this year, so as long as he avoids the migraines, he should produce.

Danny · 08-27-2011, 09:20 AM

Yeah, I think health is the main concern.

Scoobz0202 · 08-27-2011, 09:37 AM

Brandon Pettigrew TE DET

I'm on my phone. Can somebody message next for me please.
