Thanks, mrscruff, for the kind words. Now let's go Patriots!

It was you and 31 teams against Coach Bill.

And he still rubbed your face in it!!

BB didn't beat me. I just thought I'd do much better. I ended up with 3 of the 7 I picked signed & IR or PUP was a bad pick. Bill picked 9 UDFAs, how many of those picks stuck? Relax, the whole thing was for entertainment purposes only.

3 of 7 is fantastic work! Great job. I look forward to your picks after next years draft.

Thanks Ochmed-did it as a lark,but it's too time consumming to do every year.

You have a pretty good eye for talent yourself. But I don't know how any of us could do as well as Bill with all the assistant coaches saying "get me this, get me that."

Ochmed, what did you think of the complete lack of trading that went on this year? I honestly believed somebody would make an offer for Hoyer or Mallett, and had an outside chance of dealing BJGE, plus all the other combinations out there - Meriweather, Levoir, etc.

Lastly, I feel badly for all the UDFAs trying to land jobs when they had so little time to impress. Really tough for people who spent their whole lives playing football.

Joseph Lefeged, S, COLTS - Made Team
Willie Smith, OT/G, WAS - Made Team
Brandon Bair, DT, KC - Made Team

With all the hours that I put in on this, I know one thing, I wouldn't want to be a scout! But it was fun trying.

Jarriel King was claimed by the Seahawks and is on the active roster.
David Mims is on the Chiefs practice squad.

Thanks MRSCRUFF, really appreciate the update. You've got a good eye. Maybe next year we'll make a game of picking the UDFAS. Each person picks 10 players and have some fun with it. With you and some of the other draftniks involved, I'd be happy to finish in the top 50.

Thanks again and go PATS!

"Relax"??

You're the only one working himself into a lather, pretending that he can just pluck whoever he wants, without regard to the entire 32 team league competing for the services of these guys, and then "competing" with Coach Bill!!

All I'M doing is pointing and laughing!!

And NOW that your picks have crapped the bed, you're claiming it was "for entertainment purposes only"???

Yeah, RIGHT!!!
