Draft Game... Comment Thread

Done. I took Cliff Avril; Jason Taylor is really starting to show his age and they need another pass rushing threat. I hope he'll be a good fit as a 3-4 OLB.

Nice choice, I thought you might have gone for Calais Campbell. Really like that pick though.

 

[BritPat]

Cason is a great pick too

I like Avril a lot. I've seen some mocks with him in the 20's. Good pick.

Campbell is a good player, but he is more of a 4-3 end than anything else.

You think? I think he's too tall to be a 4-3 end looking at many of the bluechip 4-3 pass rushers in todays game, and might project better as a 3-4 end.

Each to his own though.

Yeah, he's 290 so you could well be right. Perhaps I should have thought about him more...

Thanks I was looking at him for a while and with the Fakhir Brown situation in St. Louis I was glad Cason was on the board.

Good pick Ice I look forward to your selections in this round.

I was really hoping DT Kentwan Balmer, was still going to be there, but after he was gone I just felt Brome made the most sense.

Considering that they would have probably looked at Ryan if he hadn't gone to Miami, I think it's a great pick for them still to be able to pick up a QB who could potentially be just as good a round later. I like the pick a lot.

Second round! I'm going to prepare my proxy list!

Atlanta gets Brohm. Nice pick.

 

[gomezcat]

thanks

Brohm is a good pick. The fact that he lasted to the start of the second makes me wonder if I picked Ryan a little prematurely (although I was not at all sure about the pick in any case).

The Giants will do very well to get Connor. I really like him, although not as a 3-4 LB, which is why I passed on him. Cason is another good pick.

I've got to go away from Tuesday until Sunday. I've asked SamBamsFan to take over Arizona from me but if he doesn't get my message is there someone who I can e-mail my Excel Spreadsheet to and make picks on my behalf? PM me if so.

I don't understand KC taking Flacco. They have a young QB that Edwards picked in Brody Croyle. Why would they look at Flacco?

Two excellent picks recently.

 

[Watson's IQ]

I don't understand KC taking Flacco. They have a young QB that Edwards picked in Brody Croyle. Why would they look at Flacco?

I'm not sure I like it either. Not that I'm 100% convinced that Croyle is the answer there, but it seems a bit premature to me to be drafting another QB high at this point. I felt the same way to a lesser extent about the Ryan pick, but at least in that case it's clear that Beck isn't Parcell's guy.

I can do it Dom. Forward your ideas to [email protected].

I found me some internet access in Florida! Will post the Jets pick in a few mins. Want to review a few things first.
