Rookie Draft Peanut Gallery

[R. Rich]

Discuss the goings on of the rookie draft here. Now.

[BillsFever21]

This has worked out wonderful for me. Both players I targeted are still there. I never thought that was gonna happen.

[The King]

What a suprise, Rich took a DE.

[R. Rich]

I had D'Brickashaw Ferguson on my short list for quite a while, but in the end, I had to do what was best for my team. My starting DEs are a 6 and a 9, and the depth behind them is suspect. I already have a couple of 8 offensive tackles starting, one of whom I think will be rated even higher next season. My depth on the OL is much better than my depth on the DL, so I made the tough choice to go DE instead of OT.

[The King]

You can't go wrong either way. What # did you draft last year Rich I forget.

[BillsFever21]

I am thrilled to get Ferguson here. I thought for sure the Top 3 would go Bush, Williams and Ferguson. The Wookies major curveball landed me Ferguson.

I thought for sure I would be drafting AJ Hawk today. Which I wouldn't have been upset about but it's much harder to find a franchise Tackle then it is a LB. Considering I don't have crap for other Tackle spot I can't be any happier about what transpired today. I can address LB later on. This is a very deep draft for LB.

Thats who I would have picked for but I am happy with Vernon Davis and AJ HAwk

[R. Rich]

You can't go wrong either way. What # did you draft last year Rich I forget.
Same exact spot: 2nd, where I took LB Derrick Johnson.

[The King]

I was hoping to land Davis at 10. But that was just a pipe dream.

[tampabay25690]

I was hoping to land Davis at 10. But that was just a pipe dream.

I know he is the only guy to throw to in San Fran so I couldnt pass him up

[BillsFever21]

Ferguson better not end up the next Mike Williams. LOL

[DrForbes]

I don't like Lienhart as a pro as much as I like the other two QBs but, from a fantasy point of view and the team he is on I think he was the best choice.

[The King]

considering NE has Alex Smith I think it was necessary

[tampabay25690]

Who wants the 11th pick in the 1st round will look for a late 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder...

[R. Rich]

So far, there haven't been too many surprises w/ this draft.

[R. Rich]

Maroney going 9th? That's a bit of a shocker, but a good pick nonetheless.

[BillsFever21]

Maroney going 9th? That's a bit of a shocker, but a good pick nonetheless.

I guess that's why he wanted to trade down. I was looking at Maroney...with the #24.

[DrForbes]

Maroney going 9th? That's a bit of a shocker, but a good pick nonetheless.

Of the Rb's I had him rated the lowest, only because he is on that offense that is so diverse.

[ryjam282]

Yeah, I knew he would be met with some groans but there really isn't anything else out there that I really need that will help as fast as he will.

I mean I have Edge at RB but at 7.5 mil he is definitely expendable.
I need help at other positions but none of them were worth the money I was gonna pay a round 1 guy IMO.

[BillsFever21]

If that's the guy you wanted and you couldn't trade down then that's great. At least all of the picks are the same price. If you reach for a player(unlike the NFL) that you could've had later at least you're not paying more money for him.

[The King]

I should gets some grunts too. There is no market to trade down and I got the best guy available at a position I needed to address.

[ryjam282]

Of the Rb's I had him rated the lowest, only because he is on that offense that is so diverse.


Yes, the offense might be diverse, but if and when he is the starter, he will get 20-30 carries a game and the Pats like to run the ball in the redzone and late in games.

With DeAngelo Williams, I know Foster is the starter and they still have Goings so that is a bit of a log jam.

With Addai, the Colts have plenty of backs that are going to be mixed in as well. Not to mention, Manning will be throwing the ball a lot more too.

[ryjam282]

I should gets some grunts too. There is no market to trade down and I got the best guy available at a position I needed to address.


You won't get any groans from me, Mangold is solid and will be for a long time for you. Nice Pick.

[BillsFever21]

I should gets some grunts too. There is no market to trade down and I got the best guy available at a position I needed to address.

My only grunt is that's who I wanted with #24.

[The King]

My only grunt is that's who I wanted with #24.

I couldnt take that risk. Even with the first pick in the 2nd round. He is by far the best center available, I figured someone would have the same need between now and then.

Here is how my trade with Canada worked out.

Brewsers traded 1. Reggie Bush and Greg Spires
Canadien Radiation Kings traded 1. Nick Mangold, Lenard Little and Al Wilson.

[R. Rich]

My only grunt is that's who I wanted with #24.
Remember, 22 comes before 24.

Good pick, Michael. I was definitely interested in taking Mangold in the 2nd w/ one of my 3 picks, but it looks like he wasn't going to last even if you took someone else in the first (since your pick is just before mine in the 2nd).

[R. Rich]

Mikey's turn to pick. Now.

[Sabre Ally]

Ooooh, Mikey better not take my guy!

[The King]

Good pick, Michael. I was definitely interested in taking Mangold in the 2nd w/ one of my 3 picks, but it looks like he wasn't going to last even if you took someone else in the first (since your pick is just before mine in the 2nd).

It just wasnt a risk I wanted to take. I figured most people would have him as a target in the late first early second. And with Jeff Faine as my starter, I needed an improvement...bad.

[L.A. Playa]

wake me up when its my pick

[BillsFever21]

Remember, 22 comes before 24.

I didn't say I thought he would be there. Just who I wanted. :D

I figured somebody would take him.

[R. Rich]

I didn't say I thought he would be there. Just who I wanted. :D

I figured somebody would take him.
I hear ya. I really thought I'd be able to land him w/ my 22nd pick, so I now have to redo my strategy a bit.

[R. Rich]

wake me up when its my pick
It's your pick.

[The King]

Im happy I could mess up peoples boards a bit.

[R. Rich]

Im happy I could mess up peoples boards a bit.
It's a good thing, actually. The more people go earlier than expected, the more good players I had no intent on scouting (since I thought they'd be gone) will become available.

[Sabre Ally]

Miikkkkkeeeeyyyy. pick pick pick

[R. Rich]

Miikkkkkeeeeyyyy. pick pick pick
Hey Ally; sup fool! I missed ya last year over in Section 123. You should come back.

[L.A. Playa]

It's your pick.

liar !!!!

[Sabre Ally]

I'll be there at least once or twice this year, Rich.

[Sabre Ally]

ARGH! Mikey, you waited until the last second, and then picked my guy.

[DrForbes]

We're way past the 8th pick and no one has taken Donte yet. What's up with that?

[R. Rich]

liar !!!!
I didn't say 'now'.

[BillsFever21]

It's a good thing, actually. The more people go earlier than expected, the more good players I had no intent on scouting (since I thought they'd be gone) will become available.

Agreed.

I never factored in 2 QB's to be drafted before my pick in the 2nd round. Somebody we never expected should fall to us.

[Michael82]

ARGH! Mikey, you waited until the last second, and then picked my guy.
:ontome: I just woke up and was thrilled that he was still there. I was desperate for a QB. :D

[BillsFever21]

:ontome: I just woke up and was thrilled that he was still there. I was desperate for a QB. :D

Thanks to me. :bravo:

[R. Rich]

We're way past the 8th pick and no one has taken Donte yet. What's up with that?
I don't think he'd want to hold a clipboard for the Assassins. Our secondary is good to go w/ Dunta Robinson and Nathan Vasher @ the corners plus Bob Sanders and Sean Taylor @ safeties.Then again, Taylor might be in jail soon...

[Sabre Ally]

You can rest easy now, Forbes, Donte is gone.

[Michael82]

I'll be there at least once or twice this year, Rich.
Yeah baby! I can't wait! :jig:

[Michael82]

Good pick Ally! It was either Vince Young or Donte Whitner for me. :up:

[R. Rich]

I'll be there at least once or twice this year, Rich.
Good. I'll deal w/ you then.

[R. Rich]

Someone wake Patrick up and let him know it's his time to pick. Now.

[R. Rich]

There's still quite a few good players left. I'm going shopping in Round 2!

[The King]

I am psyched by some of the guys still around. My other choice for round one is still on the board!

[R. Rich]

Indeed. There's still plenty of good talent to draft. Since my team could muster only 3 wins last year, we can use all the talent we can find.

[L.A. Playa]

wel lconsidering there are only 20 teams there are always alot of good players all throughout the first 4 rounds or so, in another league I am in there ar e 28 teams so after the first round or so and considering the have a sliding rookie pay scale the rookie draft is much more a crap shoot

[R. Rich]

Size of the league definitely matters.......so does the talent pool of the draft. This year's draft has some positions where there's a good deal of talent, so it really helps us.

[The King]

exactly. The cool thing is your drafting 2nd round talent in the 4th round. And like Rich, my winless team needs all the help we can get.

[Ebenezer]

I am happy with Huff and Bunkley. That will fill two holes in the defense. I would really have preferred Hawk but beggers can't be choosers. Forbes got a good pick with Addai. I just didn't have the guts to take him in the top 10. Had we not pulled off the trade that would have been my selection at 18. Good job.

[L.A. Playa]

I dont know anything about Ernie Sims I figure he wil lstart in Detroit under their new defensive minded coach so I hope he is a good player.

Anyone know anything about him ???

[R. Rich]

Sims is a very good choice. I was considering him for a draft in another sim league that was recently completed. Great sideline to sideline ability and they say Marinelli may turn him into Detroit's version of Derrick Brooks. Ability wise, he could fill that role. Time will tell if he actually does though.

damn if you think he is a good pick he must suck judging from your teams track record LOL JK J KJK

[Forward_Lateral]

Sims is one concussion away from being Terry Schiavo.

[R. Rich]

Perhaps you're right.

[L.A. Playa]

Sims is one concussion away from being Terry Schiavo.

oh well if he sucks i have alot of young players anyway

[Forward_Lateral]

He's a good player, he just needs to learn to quit leading with his head, or his career will be very short.

[The King]

Sorry FL I didnt see your trade offer until I made my pick.

[Forward_Lateral]

Hopefully rich sees it.

[Forward_Lateral]

:ill:

[R. Rich]

Hopefully rich sees it.
I saw it after I had made my selection.

[Forward_Lateral]

hopefully eb sees it BEFORE he picks.

[DrForbes]

Ya figure some guys fall in the NFL draft might do the same in here but that is clearly not the case. I wasn't big on Jimmy Williams but Winston I was hoping would slip back a little. Nice Pick.

[The King]

I like Williams, his bad workouts hurt him a bit. But I think in the end that is something no one will remember.

Nice to see the Minnesota Vikings finally got their pick in

[L.A. Playa]

no pick is a bad pick if that pick fills a need

[BillsFever21]

The Pimps continue to fix their OL. With stars all around offense but with glaring holes in needing a C, G and T we took Ferguson and Joseph on day one.

Hopefully both of these guys pan out into dominant players and fix our line for years to come. If they don't then I'm really screwed. I would still need them positions and wouldn't have anybody from day one this year.

But with stars like Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Javon Walker, LJ Smith, Jamal Lewis and Donovan McNabb/Phillip Rivers, the Pimps needed to secure their OL to give these guys a chance to do their thing.

We have Gross and Steinbach who were both 8's but nothing but junk on the rest of the line.

The Pimps now wish they didn't waste 2 million dollars this offseason on Kwame Harris. We never dreamed Ferguson would fall to us.

We wanted Mangold instead of Joseph but at least our backup plan was still there.

[Forward_Lateral]

Why was it your pick, Pimps?

[BillsFever21]

Why was it your pick, Pimps?

I was slotted for 3:45-4:00

I took over team Kalamazoo. It just wasn't chaged to my team name on there.

[Forward_Lateral]

:up: gotcha.

[ryjam282]

Nice pick Pimps....I had him targetted the whole time...Back to the drawing board.

[BillsFever21]

What do you guys think of the Davin Joseph pick? Any Sooner fans out there?

[Forward_Lateral]

Hard to say when Joseph will contribute with Tampa. He's too small to play Tackle, and their guards are already pretty solid.

[SABURZFAN]

somebody wake me up when we hit the 4th round. :z:

[BillsFever21]

They must not like their guards that much or they wouldn't have spent a 1st round pick on him.

I would still like to pick up a guard until he's ready though.

[R. Rich]

I like the Joseph pick. In another sim league I'm in, I traded back up into the first round to get him. I have Chris Snee as one of my starters, but a fading Edwin Mulitalo as the other, so I'm glad I can put Joseph next to my starting LT, Walter Jones, next season.

[Devin]

Your future line is going to be awesome!

If my combo of Ferguson and Joseph work out I will have them on one side and Gross and Steinbach on the other. I still need a Center though. It has the possibilities of being a great line.

My goal was to fix my line in this draft and I hope they will be the answer. I have a ton of stars on offense but a few holes on the line. If they are now fixed this will be a dominant offense.

I wanted to take care of the line and then my offense will mostly be set and young everywhere. A unit I could keep around for some time. Then I can just focus on fixing the holes on my defense next year.

[R. Rich]

Your future line is going to be awesome!

Maybe, if Joseph is what I think he is, and if Jake Grove can become the center everyone thinks he can be, and if Alex Barron continues to improve (he was pretty good as a rookie last season).

That's a lotta "if's", though.

You have the right idea: get better up front. I started both of the sim teams I have by drafting a left tackle first: Ogden here, and Walter Jones in my other league. That tells you how important I think the lines are.

[R. Rich]

Ally's going to miss her pick. If she had to go to work or something, I hope she gave someone a list to use.

[BillsFever21]

You have the right idea: get better up front. I started both of the sim teams I have by drafting a left tackle first: Ogden here, and Walter Jones in my other league. That tells you how important I think the lines are.

I didn't really have a choice though,lol

Gross and Steinbach are blue chips at 8's

After that I had nobody. My Center and other guard are old and 5.5's.

Clifton who I drafted just for this year is old and a 6.5. I drafted Kwame Harris(5) at 2m in hopes that he would pan out in San Fran. because I never expected Ferguson to be around when I drafted. He may pan out but I couldn't pass up Ferguson.

Good OL don't come around often. People just don't get rid of them. I knew I would have to do it through the draft. And with the amount my other players are making I couldn't afford a big salary for them. I was happy to get both of these guys.

[R. Rich]

You did great by getting them. I was glad to get Justice in the 2nd round, after having to pass on the guy I wanted almost for an entire year in Ferguson. In the end, I couldn't pass up the chance to not only get a talent like Super Mario, but to upgrade my defensive line, which isn't as deep as my offensive line.

Your OL is set. You didn't need one.

[R. Rich]

Your OL is set. You didn't need one.

Not set, but getting there. I'd be happier if Matt Birk wasn't in IR this year, so that I'd have an 8 in the middle instead of a 5.5, but oh well.

[tampabay25690]

Tampa loves his 1st days selections. Mainly dealing with the Defensive side of the Ball we also took the #1 TE in the draft in VERNON DAVIS........To rap up the day we got---AJ HAWK-------JASON ALLEN S/CB-------and TAMBA HALI-----Overall we are happy with our draft in the 1st day...

[R. Rich]

I'm okay w/ mine for now. I needed to get better along both the offensive and defensive lines, and I think I've done a decent job of that, getting Super Mario for my DL while getting Winston Justice and now Max Jean-Gilles for my offensive line. Plus, I was able to get a deep threat @ WR in Chad Jackson and a pretty good prospect @ corner in Antonio Cromartie.

[The King]

I am so/so with my picks. I got my guy in Nick Mangold, Got the CB I wanted in Jimmy Williams. But I thought a few guys would be around that were not in the 3rd. So D'Qwell Jackson was kind of settling for me, hopefully I can make up for it in the 4th.

[ryjam282]

and if Jake Grove can become the center everyone thinks he can be,


I am sure hoping so, that is the only reason I held on to him.

[Ebenezer]

I like my draft so far...solid prospects.

Huff, Bunkley and Williams...all could be starters for years.

[R. Rich]

I am so/so with my picks. I got my guy in Nick Mangold, Got the CB I wanted in Jimmy Williams. But I thought a few guys would be around that were not in the 3rd. So D'Qwell Jackson was kind of settling for me, hopefully I can make up for it in the 4th.
Nothing wrong w/ Jackson. He is who I probably would've taken if you hadn't.

[R. Rich]

I am sure hoping so, that is the only reason I held on to him.
Yeah. If only I was able to get him in the BZFL, too. I could use a young guy to eventually replace Matt Birk. Stepanovich is okay as a stopgap measure, but I think I might be able to upgrade a bit next offseason.

[ryjam282]

I am really hoping he can be my future at the position but his injuries the last 2 years concern me. When he is on the field he is a good one.

[The King]

Yeah. If only I was able to get him in the BZFL, too. I could use a young guy to eventually replace Matt Birk. Stepanovich is okay as a stopgap measure, but I think I might be able to upgrade a bit next offseason.

Ill give you Jeff Faine for a bag of cool ranch doritos.

[ryjam282]

Anyone looking to move out of the 3rd round? PM me.

[madness]

getting Super Mario for my DL

I heard Mario would rather join his teammates and play for Easton. :couch:

[R. Rich]

I heard Mario would rather join his teammates and play for Easton. :couch:
Lawson was a nice pick, especially late in round 2. In my other sim league, I took him 13th overall. He'll make a nice bookend in my 3-4 defense on the opposite side of Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman.

[Forward_Lateral]

I got the 2 players I've been targetting for the 2nd and 3rd rounds, so I'm pretty happy thus far.

[ryjam282]

Nice pick with McNeil, he was my target in this round...DAMMIT.

[SABURZFAN]

i'm still waiting to make my first pick. :tap:



thanks a lot Spaz. :mad:

That's who I thought about trading up for with you. I'm just not sold on him. He has to learn a new position and he's one of them tweeners.

He might turn into a good player but it won't be anytime soon. I think he'll be nothing more then a pass rusher at the next level. Considering I had the chance to get him I hope I'm right,lol

I'm happy with Kiwankua. He will also take a couple years but the Giants have been breeding great DE's since Coughlin arrived. And god knows I need them too. They are a lot harder to find then LB's.

[R. Rich]

i'm still waiting to make my first pick. :tap:



thanks a lot Spaz. :mad:
Well.........you do have Mark Clayton.

[BillsFever21]

I know what you mean by draft picks, Saburz. The guy who had this team last was MIA for like the first 4 rounds. Just missed all of his picks. Missed out on some great players. No wonder he bailed out.

This team doesn't have any cheap good talent because of that. Oh well, time to rebuild it.

[R. Rich]

I'm not too sure about that. I believe Lawson has more than enough athletic ability to become a very good OLB in a 3-4. As someone who played LOLB in a 3-4 waaaaaay back in the day, I know what it takes to play the position. Like Lawson, I switched from DE also, and I'm quite sure he's 10 times the athlete I ever was. I don't think he'll come out the gate dominating, but I wouldn't consider him just a situational player, either. Teams like Pittsburgh have done quite well stocking their roster w/ "tweeners" and putting them @ LB. Of course, w/ more teams adopting the 3-4, it's getting tougher to find them. Before the 3-4 became all the rage, you wouldn't have seen guys like Ware and Merriman go so high like they did last year. They would've been typical Steeler draft picks, probably 3rd or 4th round.

Plus this guy is intelligent as they come and an incredible physical speciman. The question should be 'How can he not make the transition?' This guy is a beast. :flex:


Lawson probably has this figured out by now -- he scored a remarkable 43 on the Wonderlic test that measures a person's intelligence. But it was not just Lawson's Wonderlic that stood out. So do some of his other numbers:
Lawson is 6-foot-6, 249 pounds. He runs the 40 in 4.41 seconds. He bench pressed 225 pounds 25 times. He vertical jumped 39 ½ inches. He long jumped 10.6 feet. Lawson is an engineering major, captain of his football team, ran track at North Carolina State and never has been injured.

[SABURZFAN]

Well.........you do have Mark Clayton.


yeah.....and?

[L.A. Playa]

Mike Mamuela made the transition

[R. Rich]

Mike Mamuela made the transition
...as did DeMarcus Ware and Shawne Merriman.

[R. Rich]

Mikey, you'd better make those damn picks before I strangle you.

[L.A. Playa]

Mikey is working on his long drawn out explanations of his picks

[The King]

Anyonw want to trade out of this round for the 1st in the 4th and 5th?

[R. Rich]

Anyonw want to trade out of this round for the 1st in the 4th and 5th?
I'll ask if anyonw does.

nice...

No, Mikey was sleeping at the time. That's why he missed the first pick. :snooze:

[L.A. Playa]

I may know someone MBB

[madness]

I may know someone MBB

:mad: stupid trade messed up my draft board.

[R. Rich]

Good pick, Michael. Jennings should do well in Green Bay, if they find someone to throw the ball to the right team, that is.

[The King]

Good pick, Michael. Jennings should do well in Green Bay, if they find someone to throw the ball to the right team, that is.

I thought it was a move I needed to make. Especially with Glenn being 31 and Ty Calico quesionable.

[R. Rich]

You have Calico? Oh man. He was a straight up bust for me last season. I hope he fares better for your team.

[The King]

You have Calico? Oh man. He was a straight up bust for me last season. I hope he fares better for your team.

I picked him up for a mill. see what he can do.

[DrForbes]

I've heard good things about Mr. Tarvaris. With a good coaching staff you may like that pick.

[R. Rich]

Yeah, that was a good pick, Patrick.

[L.A. Playa]

I think he was highest drafted player left, I dont know anything about college guys so my draft will suck

[utmhead]

excuse me cause I am new at this, but what happends to the undrafted rookies?
is it first come first serve or what?

they go into the FA draft for next years FA draft, they cant be signed during the season if you have an injury they just stay in limbo

nope. they are unavailable until after the season, i think. :idunno:

[utmhead]

thanks

[L.A. Playa]

did all the co-commissioners abandon the league ???

[L.A. Playa]

or is it just that no one gives a **** anymore ??

[Sportsuser101]

I'm drafting what got me here.. defense. Wimbley, Bullocks and now Marshall. I think I did pretty well for picking 20th each round although I know alot of teams liked their draft.

[L.A. Playa]

you always do well thats why you won it all last year and are the favorite this year, my draft sucks so far

[Sportsuser101]

Lawson was a nice pick, especially late in round 2. In my other sim league, I took him 13th overall. He'll make a nice bookend in my 3-4 defense on the opposite side of Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman.

Yeah I've got Porter and Ware for now at the OLB in the 34 and for the future I've got Wimbley and Ware. In the end I think Ware will be a better player then Merriman but both are top talents.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not but I'll take the compliment even if it is a backhanded 1.

I like the Sims pick alot. Think he could be a Derrick Brooks type player if he continues to progress. Jackson is a risky pick but its the 4th round so you really can't nitpick. He was the best QB available at the time and should get a shot at winning the job sooner then most of the top QBs.

[L.A. Playa]

wasnt sarcasm towards your team, you are the team to beat until someone knocks you on your ass

Oh ok, thanks.

[R. Rich]

Nope. I've been here all day, w/ the exception of the time I just took to drive home from work.

[L.A. Playa]

im just messing around

[R. Rich]

Are we through w/ the complaints?

[L.A. Playa]

no we are not

[R. Rich]

Whoops! Let me fix that for you there, Playa:


We are through w/ the complaints. Now.

[L.A. Playa]

you suck

[Devin]

Well like a bonehead I picked Demeco over Lawson because I was at work and thought Lawson was gone. But thus far I have guys I hope will be contributors sooner rather then later.

You wanted Lawson over Ryans?

[R. Rich]

Playas are active w/ the trades today. Nice.

[Forward_Lateral]

I can't believe Wright was still around.

[DrForbes]

Playas are active w/ the trades today. Nice.

I liked the player F-L moved up to get. I think it was worth it.

[Forward_Lateral]

I liked the player F-L moved up to get. I think it was worth it.

:up: Thanks. I wasn't going to be around for my 2nd 6th round pick, so I figured trading it was a smart move.

[L.A. Playa]

this years draft has been rather dull not as much chatter and activity as there was last year

[R. Rich]

Yeah. I think people were more excited since it was new and we didn't know what to expect.

[R. Rich]

I see you decided to draft a USC guy. I would've have figured you to do that.

[L.A. Playa]

was gonna take him in the 4th rd but decided to go another way figured in the 5th its worth a shot

[R. Rich]

If O Canada makes his pick, we can begin the 6th round. He's the only one who hasn't made a 5th round selection.

[Sportsuser101]

Wow I got the #1 guy on my list. Thought he would be gone. I really like Wilkinson and tried trading into the early 5th to get him and worked out where I didn't have to. Thanks R Rich for making the pick for me.

No problem.

I took him in the draft we had in another sim league I'm in. I think he's got the potential to be a very good NFL 'backer.

[L.A. Playa]

nice pick Rich especially this late

[R. Rich]

Yeah. I was hoping AZ would be available after I took Stovall w/ my 5th round pick.

Plus, it gets that nasty taste out of my mouth after having drafted someone from "that school". What better way to follow it up than by taking someone from the team I root for?

[The King]

I had an eventful day

[L.A. Playa]

what was so eventful

[DrForbes]

No problem.

I hope so being a Gints fan

[Devin]

Our first offseason is almost done!

[madness]

Anybody willing to trade down in this round out of the kindness of their heart? :D

LOL. It was worth a try. :snicker:
