Anti-Fantasy Draft and Discussion Thread

I think it's WhiskeyBreath's turn.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Terrell Suggs - OLB

 

Had to double check that this beast was still available.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Boston22407 is on the clock.

[YanksHater213]

I wanted Suggs, but I felt my lineman at this point was more valuable and thought Suggs might get to my next pick.

Logan Mankins

[TheKilo]

Sweet run of picks. I like the Jackson and Suggs picks. Y 228 on the clock?

 

If coco or MSU could update the chart for me that'd be huge, haven't been able to access the site much

[italstallianion]

Looks like it's Yankees228, JBay, Kilo, and then me. I'm going to be leaving for a job interview in a little bit and I won't be back until 2-3ish. I'm wondering if I should send my picks to someone, especially since after my first pick, RSFFL has 2 picks and then I pick again.

[TheKilo]

I'll take them. I won't look at them until after I pick.

[yankees228]

Sorry about the delay guys. In constructing my 3-4 defense, I've built from the outside in, going with two pass rushing outside linebackers. At this point however, I feel like I need to anchor my front seven with a premier nose tackle, who will help to clog up the middle, and draw double teams. My next pick is probably a bit undersized for a nose tackle, but his supreme athleticism at the position fits right in with my scheme. He's already a pro bowler, and he's healthier now than he has been in the last few years.

 

Jay Ratliff, NT

[Cocos Disciples]

I like the Ratliff pick, I was hoping he'd last a bit longer.

[yankees228]

I like the Ratliff pick' date=' I was hoping he'd last a bit longer.[/quote']

 

Thanks CD. I had my sights set on Ratliff to be my nose tackle from the beginning, and while I was tempted to take someone else with this pick, I didn't want to take the chance that Ratliff would be picked before I picked next.

[TheKilo]

Great pick in two ways - I like what he does for your defense and I have IS's proxies, so now I know he gets a guy he wants while keeping my #1 and #2 players still on the board

[italstallianion]

I just got back from my interview, so I can make my picks from here. Thanks anyway for the help Kilo. I think it's JBay's turn now.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm going to go with Michael Oher, OT

[italstallianion]

You're up Kilo.

[italstallianion]

Aren't Oher and Ferguson both left tackles?

 

Also, hopefully Kilo didn't go too far.

[Flynnatic10]

Oher is an OT.

[italstallianion]

Yes, but aren't they left tackles? I'm not saying that they can't play RT, but aren't they primarily LT's?

[TheKilo]

Oher played RT last season.

 

Going skill with my next pick. A guy that has more catches than anyone else since the start of the 2006 season (at least according to the MNF crew on Monday)

 

Marques Colston, WR

[italstallianion]

I'm going with Dallas Clark TE

 

 

I'd also like to point out that Marques Colston was in the list of players that I sent to Kilo as one of my potential picks if I was away.

[italstallianion]

RSFFL has 2 picks and then it's back to me.

[TheKilo]

Right. I mentioned that earlier in the day, once Y228 made the Ratlff selection it enabled me to pick either my #1 choice (Colston) or my #2 pick when my turn came. Clark wasn't on my board And in fact Colston was the only guy on your list that was on my board.

 

Very very happy to get him, he's a true #1 receiver who is not afraid to go over the middle and make the tough catch. Tom Brady would be psyched to throw to him.

[italstallianion]

I wish there was a way that these teams could actually face each other.

 

On another note, should we also draft coaches?

[TheKilo]

Why not?

[italstallianion]

Since there are already an even number of rounds (not counting managers), why don't we add a head coach, and a team name (or something else) to make it an even number of rounds.

 

By team name, I mean rights to a shorthand name, like the Patriots, Ravens, Colts, Jaguars etc (ie Erin Andrews Likes It Raw's Jaguars, or RSFFL's Chargers, or MSUbulldogs Patriots). Obviously this would be the last pick of the draft, but it'll give the people at the back end of the draft some equality, as the head coaches will probably be the 2nd to last pick, and that would start with the front of the line.

[YanksHater213]

Love the Colston pick.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Oher played RT last season.

 

Going skill with my next pick. A guy that has more catches than anyone else since the start of the 2006 season (at least according to the MNF crew on Monday)

 

Marques Colston, WR

 

The MNF has to be wrong. I know of at least a few guys who pretty much put up 100+ catches every season since 06. Maybe there was another part of the stat that you didn't hear?

[italstallianion]

I'm not sure if the stat is right either, but he's still a very good receiver and a good pick at this stage in the draft. I had mentioned him 3rd in the list of players that I wanted Kilo to select in the event that it was my pick whilst I was away.

[TheKilo]

I'd ask who has more, then? Maybe Welker, but in 2006 he was in Miami.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Off the top of my head I would be confident saying Welker, Fitzgerald, Wayne, Marshall, and Andre Johnson.
