What's the fastest draftee you've seen?

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 08:46 PM

You can't coach speed!

SnowMan · 11-19-2003, 08:50 PM

Wow...fairly strong too, let us know how his ratings turn out.

Vegas Vic · 11-19-2003, 08:52 PM

That's the fastest I've seen in FOF.

The fastest documented time I've seen in real life was Laveranues Coles, who broke Deion Sander's record at FSU with an incredible 4.16.

I have the 1(26) pick in the draft this year. It is 2011. Peerless Price is in his 13th year. I'm thinking about trading up to get this guy. He's graded 8.9, adjusted to 9.3 (61/91). That is the 2nd-highest strength for a WR, and the 2nd-best agility. He's the fastest man in the league.

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 09:07 PM

I tried my best to trade for the 1(1) pick to get him, but couldn't. I didn't have enough draft choices to make Tennessee bite. However, they didn't take him! I was able to strike a deal with Indianapolis for the 1(2) pick. (Ok, so I traded three first round picks and a 2nd round pick....) I just HAD to have this guy though. I'll post an update.

SnowMan · 11-19-2003, 09:10 PM

Hope he doesn't flop after paying that much for him!

Bee · 11-19-2003, 09:10 PM

I'm sure he's thrilled to be going to your "pass happy" offensive team.

I'm willing to let Vick throw it as far as he can and see if this cat can run under it.

Tasan · 11-19-2003, 09:18 PM

Yeah I know how you feel. I just was in my 3rd draft, and there was an absolute stud RB in the draft, rated tops with a 3 for voltility. I had the 6th pick and figured he'd be long gone by then, but he fell to me. However, I run a 3-4 WR pass happy attack. I am running a bit more now, needless to say, because he hasn't busted yet and he's pretty much maxed out. I know what, Skydog. I'll trade you my stud RB for your running attack, and you send me your stud WR for my passing attack ;- )

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 09:19 PM

Update:

Lara rejects my first offer (beginning of FA stage 2).

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 09:42 PM

He accepts right before training camp.

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 09:56 PM

SegRat · 11-19-2003, 10:05 PM

Nice SkyDog!!

NoMyths · 11-19-2003, 10:06 PM

That boy run so fast, he make your dick hurt! or something.

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 10:09 PM

I don't throw deep very often. (OK, I don't throw short very often either...) How should I set my game plan up?

SnowMan · 11-19-2003, 10:09 PM

Beautiful....

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 10:11 PM

He caught 4 TD passes in the preseason...

Daimyo · 11-19-2003, 10:11 PM

He'll make a great return specialist on your power rush teams

oykib · 11-19-2003, 10:14 PM

So here's the big question:

Do you risk using him on punts and kicks?

TLK · 11-19-2003, 10:17 PM

Along the same lines..... The Raiders had the number one pick but wanted way too much. In hind-sight I kind of wished I pulled the trigger on this one. He's entering his third season and has two "Fastest Player" awards under his belt, plus an 1800+ yard season last year....

Sorry for the shitty pic, but it's the best I could do......

Eaglesfan27 · 11-19-2003, 10:18 PM

I think he is so good that you have to risk it. He could be a difference maker on return teams as well in the rest of the game. Plus, he has high endurance, so I think he might be more likely to avoid injuries.

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 10:20 PM

First drive in his first regular season game, he catches a 39-yard TD pass. For the day, 5 catches, 76 yards, 2 TD's. The Peerless one caught 5 for 109 yards.

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 10:22 PM

Game 2: 5 catches, 101 yards, 1 TD

SnowMan · 11-19-2003, 10:27 PM

Wonder when the injuries will start?
:P

Ben E Lou · 11-19-2003, 10:32 PM

He has a 103-yard kickoff return for a TD in week 8...

BigJohn&TheLions · 11-19-2003, 10:49 PM

5-9, 181 lbs and you gave up 3 #1's? Bet there's a player you miss that you wish you had that pick...

Dunno, I don't really throw deep either.

Distance Pass Comp Yards Ave
Screen 3 3 16 5.3
Short (0-8 Yds) 21 15 106 5.0
Medium (9-18 Yds) 4 4 40 10.0
Long (19+ Yds) 2 1 22 11.0

Here's the results of a game I called in the preseason, the two deep throws were on long yardage situations.

Here's what my starter did, playing for the first half plus the first series of the 2nd.

Code:

   Passing		Att	Comp	Yards	Yd/Att	Long	TD	Int	Sckd

You need to find a mentor for that kid so that he fulfills his promise...

Gambit · 11-20-2003, 12:49 AM

Maybe get a better QB as well.

Nice pick up

tucker342 · 11-20-2003, 12:52 AM

not a bad rookie season at all....

tucker342 · 11-20-2003, 12:53 AM

to bad he's so short..

MrBug708 · 11-20-2003, 02:59 AM

I had a QB that had a 4.27 but 4.26 is the fastest

Darkiller · 11-20-2003, 04:17 AM

Well he's definitely an outstanding pick and a cornerstone of your passing game for the next 10 years barring injuries.
How about your QB ? how is he ?

man if you can get one as good as Lara is at WR, you'll have a heck of an offense.

Francis_Cole · 11-20-2003, 06:04 AM

He's a bust

Ben E Lou · 11-20-2003, 06:09 AM

For those that asked. Vick is my QB, and he's the 2nd-best in the league under Roster Strength, rated 90/90 overall. 14th-year veteran Peerless Price is a mentor to Wide Receivers now. In 2012, Lara's second season, Price is in the final year of a contract. 12th-year veteran Vick is signed through 2013.

Just remember, anything under 4.4 is a lie. And the lies just keep getting bigger.
