[Ebenezer]

All peanut gallery comments welcome!

Any thoughts on who the first player off the board will be?

[R. Rich]

I think the first player taken will be the first one off the board.

[Devin]

Well for owners who drop the first round, Its going to be interesting to see what quality QB they manage to pick up.

[Sabre Ally]

I almost have to get someone in the first round, because I know I'm going to be too busy on my days off Monday and Tuesday to pick in all of rounds 2-4.

[Ebenezer]

I almost have to get someone in the first round, because I know I'm going to be too busy on my days off Monday and Tuesday to pick in all of rounds 2-4.
I won't be here to pick on Monday or Tuesday. You can always send a list of players to me and we can take the person at the top of the list for you. Devin is going to help me out when I am not around.

[Devin]

I may end up picking in the first and second and drop the 3rd since its a 7.5 mil round as well.

Gotta be resourceful and save some cash somewhere.

[The King]

Im definitely not taking a QB first

[Devin]

I am still looking it over but I probably will.

There are only around 10 or so in the elite class, and for the first year or two I want some stability.

[L.A. Playa]

I think there may be alot of passes in the first 3 rounds

[L.A. Playa]

I have to wake up at 6 AM tommorrow to take my pick Im on west coast, no partying for me tonite LOL

[Devin]

lol.

yeah your most likely correct, the first 3 rounds are pricey so we will see a lot of passes. The pic selection should be interesting.

[L.A. Playa]

I have my own stradegy, which im sure each individuals stradegy will be different but I think we wont know until whole draft is ove who is gonna do well the first couple of years

[Sportsuser101]

I'm sure QBs will be a bunch of the 1st picks off the board.

[Devin]

Well imo you need a good general to start. But as I said earlier some people will be building for the future. I mean think about it if you skip the first 6-7 rounds, you will have some cheap players (probably not a half bad team in all honesty) and a boatload of cap room next year. So it will depend fully on your strategy.

[L.A. Playa]

well the draft has begun I had a tough spot, would have been nice to see trends develop instead of starting a trend, but oh well did my best hope it works

[L.A. Playa]

question ??did I have till 9:30 AM EST to make my pick???

[Ebenezer]

question ??did I have till 9:30 AM EST to make my pick???
if you need to we can switch your pick up until the Aztecs time slot, as long as he doesnt pick...but just this time.

[L.A. Playa]

im cool with my pick was just curious, thanks for doing this,my dad was a huge Bills fan and he died Dec 17,2004 I amdedicating this to him and helping myself heal, Idid my research for days and am very satisfied with Daunte hada great season last year,he is still young with tons of upside in my opinion

[Ebenezer]

sorry about your loss.

[Michael82]

So far, it's going the way I thought it would....Peyton Manning, Daunte Culpepper gone. Walter Jones gone very early. Interesting move. And I wanted a QB who can run around behind my line and still pass, so I have McNabb. :D

[The King]

I was looking at TKO in the first too dammit!

[R. Rich]

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

[Sabre Ally]

Mikey took my pick.

[Michael82]

:snicker:

And Ally comes out and shocks everyone with a center. :eek:

Interesting pick, Ally. I like it. :up:

[The King]

I bet you couldve got him in the 5th

[MikeInRoch]

After the first, probably. 5th, no way. I think people are going to over-focus on the offensive line because us Bills fans have been begging for improvments there for so long. :snicker2:

[The King]

I just know in Madden the offensive line just needs to be at like 75-80's and you'll be fine.

[Ebenezer]

damn, I had all intents on passing the first three rounds but since everybody is picking it is going to force my hand...

[Ebenezer]

I just know in Madden the offensive line just needs to be at like 75-80's and you'll be fine.
with 20 owners 40-45 will be hard to attain. I am in a league with 32 owners and my OL last year (with TE and FB) was a 33. One injury can blow that in a heartbeat.

[Sabre Ally]

Yeah, well, when someone ahead of me took a tackle already, I figured I better get him while I can. Especially if I intend to skip the next couple of rounds.

[Ebenezer]

Yeah, well, when someone ahead of me took a tackle already, I figured I better get him while I can. Especially if I intend to skip the next couple of rounds.
and you have taken care of your long snapper requirement too!

[Sabre Ally]

:dance:
and you have taken care of your long snapper requirement too!

[The King]

I should be able to pic it isnt my fault people didnt make their slot.

[Ebenezer]

I should be able to pic it isnt my fault people didnt make their slot.
yes, you should be able to pick but the list was sent to me previously and you weren't on the clock yet...check the date stamp...you were early.

[The King]

I understand that completely. I thought you were going to hold the board for the team right before me who didnt show up for their pick.

[Forward_Lateral]

I'll trade my first round pick for a 10th rounder.

[Ebenezer]

I understand that completely. I thought you were going to hold the board for the team right before me who didnt show up for their pick.
nope...not at all...they miss they miss...if anything it was my fault for getting the LT pick in late. I was trying to connect with another computer and was stuck in cyberspace.

and thanks for taking my pick...:mad:

[The King]

I'll trade my first round pick for a 10th rounder.

done. check your PM.

[Forward_Lateral]

done. check your PM.

Don't see any pms. :idunno: you can AOL IM me if you wish it's

adavi171 I'll show off line, but I'm here.

[The King]

Eb we are def on the same page. I was going back and forth between peppers and reed.

[Sportsuser101]

done. check your PM.
Wow 2 $10m players.

[Devin]

he will have a lot of cheap rounds lol

[Sportsuser101]

Am I only the only 1 that was suprised Seymour was still there?

[Devin]

not really

[Sportsuser101]

not really
Guess thats the thinking involved here. I had Seymour as my #1 player.

[Devin]

lol really? a franchise DE.

[Sportsuser101]

lol really? a franchise DE.
Nah just a cornerstone to a championship team.

[Devin]

lol Seymour is awesome, wouldnt ever use a 10 mil pick on him.

[The King]

I can have 2 premier guys on each side of the ball Im happy. I will spend 20 mill while most of you spend 17.5 not terrible

[Sportsuser101]

lol Seymour is awesome, wouldnt ever use a 10 mil pick on him.
I wouldn't ever use a $10m player on a QB. Everybody has different ways of thinking. I was hoping everybody took a QB in the 1st.

[Devin]

yeah i took QB because most of these sim games and video games revolve around it, and it is the most important position on the field.

A good general is key to any offense.

[Sportsuser101]

yeah i took QB because most of these sim games and video games revolve around it, and it is the most important position on the field.

Key to offense? Yes. Key to winning? Probably not.

[MikeInRoch]

I was going to take Seymour or Peppers if they were there on my pick - it looked pretty good with three picks to go - and then they both get snagged.

Am I the only one surprised that only *ONE* running back has been taken?

[Devin]

just depends on how you look at it. IF you feel that way, you cant possibly think a DE is.

[Devin]

QB's, running backs and wr will prob dominate the next three rounds

[Sportsuser101]

just depends on how you look at it. IF you feel that way, you cant possibly think a DE is.
We will see.

[Sportsuser101]

I was going to take Seymour or Peppers if they were there on my pick - it looked pretty good with three picks to go - and then they both get snagged.

Am I the only one surprised that only *ONE* running back has been taken?
Yeah I'd take a RB before QB but sometimes the glamour position takes over.

[Devin]

anyone else wish the 2nd round was today :(

[Sportsuser101]

anyone else wish the 2nd round was today :(
I do but I understand why its not.

[L.A. Playa]

I wouldnt mind if the whole draft was over a couple day period, like I said having the #2 overall pick you just have to trust your own stradegy and not panick when you see others stradegy, first year will definitely be interesting, this is fun and a great distraction for me, I like the picks so far some have suprised me but then next few rounds will be interesting

[Sportsuser101]

Yeah good thing I get basically all my work done and meetings done before 12. Gonna be tough Monday because I'm on at 10 I think.

[Devin]

MBB your up dude :)

[L.A. Playa]

seems im at a bit of a disadvantage being on the west coast LOL

[Ebenezer]

Eb we are def on the same page. I was going back and forth between peppers and reed.
I had Seymour fourth on my list because being listed as a DL he can play either DE or DT but felt that Peppers was the better push rusher. Seymour is the best run stopper in the draft...

[Ebenezer]

seems im at a bit of a disadvantage being on the west coast LOL
sorry...not much I can do about that.

[Ebenezer]

One note of clarification...if you PASS in a certain round it does not mean you forfeit your right to make a selection in that round or trade that pick. You can still pick or trade until the round is closed.

Because this is new and I want everybody to have a chance at a first round pick I have kept the first round open for this weekend. This is a one time offer!

[L.A. Playa]

its cool just have to be on my toes

[Devin]

Great first round, some interesting picks, after rounds 2-3 we will have a good idea of where everyone is headed.

[Devin]

Whoa Willis in the first! I wouldnt have seen that coming.

[L.A. Playa]

well im looking for the future with that pick and did some wheeling and dealing to get back in to do it

[Devin]

yeah hes young and has potential, not even a bad pick, but in the coming years thats a hefty tag to have on him.

[Ebenezer]

I am surprised how many people picked in the first round...oh, well...got to play for this year too!!

[Sportsuser101]

I am surprised how many people picked in the first round...oh, well...got to play for this year too!!
There was only 1 guy if he was there that I would have picked in the 1st round. He was there. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing but he was there and I took him.

[L.A. Playa]

well I look at it this way now I have no 2nd rounder if he turns out the way he looks like he may in the future its worth the risk, plus even if he wasnt with the Bills he is probably my favorite player in the NFL this way I dont have to root against him in our fantasy land LOL

[R. Rich]

I'm ready for Monday now. None of the guys I've targeted have been taken.

[Devin]

Yeah I knew If I skipped the 1st id have a tough time getting a solid QB. Ive traded my third, and will likely trade again somewhere between the 4th and 6th round

[Ebenezer]

well I look at it this way now I have no 2nd rounder if he turns out the way he looks like he may in the future its worth the risk, plus even if he wasnt with the Bills he is probably my favorite player in the NFL this way I dont have to root against him in our fantasy land LOL
true...I think there are two levels here...you can win this year and be competetive next...the real strategy starts after the season when long term deals get handed out. Then you have to cut and really build a team and more strategy comes into play. The first year is almost a freebie. You can spend a lot of money without reprocussions.

[Devin]

This years limit is 85, but if you spend that the following year will be painful!

[Ebenezer]

This years limit is 85, but if you spend that the following year will be painful!
remember...the players will have the same salary the year after they are drafted. when you draft them they are basically on a one-year try out.

[L.A. Playa]

well that also where the rookie draft comes into play if ya get some good players there a couple high priced guys can go

[Ebenezer]

that is true.

[L.A. Playa]

Gotta say that the first round was fun and exciting, didnt know what to expect when I signed up but im glad I did so far this is much more fun than I expected

[Ebenezer]

Gotta say that the first round was fun and exciting, didnt know what to expect when I signed up but im glad I did so far this is much more fun than I expected
by the 31st round we will all be pretty rung out...the free agent drafts are actually more exciting...

[Devin]

yeah i hear you this is quite fun doing the planning and such. I dont know how many of you have looked but this draft money adds up quick.

Be careful how you spend.

[The King]

chances are I will either trade out of my 2nd round spot or pass. so most teams will be at 17.5 while I will be at 20. and if you ask me TO is worth the 2.5mill upgrade.

I gave up a 10th to get him some gave up a 2-3.

[L.A. Playa]

Have to agree with your logic there someone has to win the first year even if it means a down second or third year

[L.A. Playa]

but you have to look deeper into my trade I basically made two trades which the nets out to i recieve a 1st, 3rd and a 16th for a 2nd, 10th and 17th

[Devin]

But if you dust off the trsuty calculator, most of us are going to have to skip at least 2 of the higher rounds.

Rich has two 2nd and 3rd round picks now yes? Thats 30 mil right there on 4 players. I am not questioning anyones strategy at all I am sure you all know what your doing. But with 15-20 players left I added it up and was approaching critical mass. And im out of the third and hopefully 6th round.

[Devin]

Of course TO is worth the upgrade MBB, most players of first round calibur are.

Just saying taking 1 limits you in future rounds much less 2.

[L.A. Playa]

excel spreadsheets and an accounting background helps alot in this game

[Devin]

indeed.

[Sportsuser101]

An emmense knowledge of football is the biggest help.

[That Guy]

An emmense knowledge of football is the biggest help.
Spelling can't hurt either, right?

[L.A. Playa]

An emmense knowledge of football is the biggest help.

of course, but studying the player rankings makes up for lack of knowing who is the second string LT on the San Dieg Chargers and does he have potential for the future, also still a crap shoot and basically seeing if your philosphy on how to build a team is succesful

[Sportsuser101]

Spelling can't hurt either, right?
immense.. emmense.. they're all 1 in the same.

[The King]

Honestly Madden hold up real well here too. If any of you ever do fantasy drafts in that it definitely helps.

[L.A. Playa]

spelling doesnt matter in football ask 90 % of the players and owner LOL

[L.A. Playa]

I could be wrong I dont mind paying a QB and RB major money but the shocks to me so far are a C OT S and LB in the first round but like i said everyone has their own philosophy

[Devin]

Madden if youll notice always revolves around the offense.

What I mean is of course a good D/O-Line help but if your QB is 99 as well as your RB, youll have a winning season on them alone. Its kinda bad.


An emmense knowledge of football is the biggest help.

That isnt true.

Knowing how to manage your money will help probably more. you need to know what rounds you can draft in and what to trade out of. You can draft 10 All-pro's in a row. Super now what? 43 other places to fill.

[The King]

I could be wrong I dont mind paying a QB and RB major money but the shocks to me so far are a C OT S and LB in the first round but like i said everyone has their own philosophy


its just like why Tony Gonzalez goes so early in Fantasy Football. For me anyway I see only 3 elite safeties in the NFL. I have the youngest and one of the most talented. I think any QB can perform in a SIM I dont care if I get Jeff Garcia I am sure he will do just fine throwing to TO :funny:

[Devin]

a lot of it depends on how the sim is setup. In madden if you have a 70-75 rated QB he plays at that level....average.

[The King]

Madden if youll notice always revolves around the offense.

What I mean is of course a good D/O-Line help but if your QB is 99 as well as your RB, youll have a winning season on them alone. Its kinda bad.


I always build D power-houses. And I always rock a top 3 D so different strokes for different folks. But what I meant more so is knowledge of players and such.

[Devin]

right and that isnt a bad strategy, in fact there isnt really a wrong strategy. But as far as Sim leagues guy, the biggest help is knowing how the system works.

I.e what it values most.

[The King]

Right AI is going to be huge here. I may be weighing far too much on D

[L.A. Playa]

its just like why Tony Gonzalez goes so early in Fantasy Football. For me anyway I see only 3 elite safeties in the NFL. I have the youngest and one of the most talented. I think any QB can perform in a SIM I dont care if I get Jeff Garcia I am sure he will do just fine throwing to TO :funny:


Like i said I'm not questioning anyones stradegy, because I'm sure most are questioning mine LOL. The variable is how the computer plays the teams, if balanced then a great D is a great way to go, if more offensive then an offeensive team may be way to go, at least we kinda see the problem real GM's have

[Ebenezer]

and I can almost guarentee that you will have injuries. For example, players that played only 8 games last year will get injured in this game. Happens every year.

[Devin]

yeah thats what I mean, a sim is just that a sim. Any madden player knows if you sim instead of play the game yourself you can be blown out even with a powerhouse team.

The key will not only be injuries but building a solid core of 4-5 all stars at the skill positions.

[The King]

and I can almost guarentee that you will have injuries. For example, players that played only 8 games last year will get injured in this game. Happens every year.

Willis McGahee..... bad idea. :shakeno: Insert solid backup.

[L.A. Playa]

Mc Gahee wasnt hurt last year but I think I do remember TO being hurt hmmmmmmmmmm

[The King]

Mc Gahee wasnt hurt last year but I think I do remember TO being hurt hmmmmmmmmmm

:doh::homer:

[Devin]

lol TO had a career year until the last few games when he was hurt, MBB is prob fine. The two first rounders will hurt later on but it wasnt a bad pickup.

IMO McGahee went WAAAAAY early but nonetheless your the boss.

[L.A. Playa]

Its all good trash talk right??? Dont think computer is saying Mc Gahee blew his knee out in college, I could be wrong but hope I'm not

[The King]

Thats what happens though, Evans will go early too I bet.

[Devin]

most Bills players probably will.

Spikes is the only Bills player I would have taken in the first two rounds.

People need to differentiate need from favorites.

[L.A. Playa]

Based on last years stats for this year, Yes he went way too high but based on keeping him for the next 5 seasons do you still think that is too high and considering this is a Bills Fan site I dont think he would have lasted 18 more spots in the second round so I gambled hope I dont get snake eyes

[Devin]

7.5 million, hell even 5 million is far to much for Evans.

[The King]

most Bills players probably will.

Spikes is the only Bills player I would have taken in the first two rounds.

People need to differentiate need from favorites.


Agreed... Fletch Clements and Milloy will prob be the next to go.

[Devin]

Based on last years stats for this year, Yes he went way too high but based on keeping him for the next 5 seasons do you still think that is too high and considering this is a Bills Fan site I dont think he would have lasted 18 more spots in the second round so I gambled hope I dont get snake eyes


Players are great for the future and that is part of the point, but what good is it if you have already hit the cieling on McGahee. 10 Mill a year from here on out for him is pricey.

[That Guy]

Based on last years stats for this year, Yes he went way too high but based on keeping him for the next 5 seasons do you still think that is too high and considering this is a Bills Fan site I dont think he would have lasted 18 more spots in the second round so I gambled hope I dont get snake eyes

Not that there's much that can be said now, but I think he would've lasted at least another 18.

[The King]

too many good RB's for me to take one before the 5th. LT was only one I would take in the first 2 rounds.

[Devin]

Agreed.

LT is the only RB I would have taken in the first.

Far to much talent.

[L.A. Playa]

Took a chance, could explode in my face, but if he gets me 15-20 TDS a year ove the next 5 years cant complain about payin $10 mil a year for that add in to that 30-35 TDs a year by Culpepper thats a team that will score a min of 315-385 pts a year or avg 19-24 pts per game based on a 16 game schedule with that asa base that is a pretty good start

[The King]

I wonder how long Priest will last

[That Guy]

The only 10 mil. dollar players I was considering were LT, 3 QBs and a D guy (all gone).

[Devin]

yeah not bad pics, it will be interesting to see your drafting the rest of the way. 20 Mil a year on those two alone is gonna be pricey.

[The King]

I like the Culpepper pick. Big Willie style nah.

[That Guy]

Took a chance, could explode in my face, but if he gets me 15-20 TDS a year ove the next 5 years cant complain about payin $10 mil a year for that add in to that 30-35 TDs a year by Culpepper thats a team that will score a min of 315-385 pts a year or avg 19-24 pts per game based on a 16 game schedule with that asa base that is a pretty good start
Well McGahee's salary grows every year by 1.5 mil I believe... that's eventually gonna be pretty hefty if he doesn't produce.

[Devin]

Yeah culpepper was 4th on my board followed by McNabb

[The King]

My #1 was LT, 2 Reed 3 Peppers. 4 Owens

[Devin]

Well McGahee's salary grows every year by 1.5 mil I believe... that's eventually gonna be pretty hefty if he doesn't produce.

10 Mil is the limit.

[Devin]

well the after the 2nd/3rd rounds the true genius begins, by then most of the top tier talent is gone.

[That Guy]

10 Mil is the limit.
Oh.. I guess I gotta re-read the rules..

[L.A. Playa]

can always cut Mc Gahee loose but based on last years stats Willis had 13 TDS in what 11 games and LT had 18 TDS in 16 games not too much difference there in production not that I am saying Willis is better than LT at this point but remember this is all stat based

[Devin]

but think of it this way.

20 Mill in the first round. the 4th/5th rounds alone are like 27 mil combined. (assuming you skip 1 or both of the 2nd/3rd rounds) Thats 47 mil unless you choose 1 in the 2nd/3rd rounds. on 8 players. Thats a lot of cap money.

Not to mention you have 45 other players to sign.

[That Guy]

I don't really think there is any kind of genius as far as player evaluating... all of the rankings you need are basically right in front of you. Being smart with your money is probably going to be the largest factor.

[Devin]

The McGahee pick isnt bad hes a great player, but currently he isnt worth 10 mil a season. All I am saying.

[L.A. Playa]

already traded away my 2nd so in essence i paid an extra $2.5 mill this year for mc gahee

[Devin]

I don't really think there is any kind of genius as far as player evaluating... all of the rankings you need are basically right in front of you. Being smart with your money is probably going to be the largest factor.

Agreed.

That will be a large key. Because it isnt a 1 season thing, you have to think about the future. That being said rookie drafts are just as important.

All about planning.

[The King]

I am confident that I can piece together some solid players late. I dont even need to look WR now until like the 30th round or so.

[L.A. Playa]

I think the key rounds will be 11-22 because at that point you are putting together the core of your team and replaceable parts

[Ebenezer]

man...after all this the games are almost going to be a let down...building the team/the drafts really are the thing!!!

[Ebenezer]

I think the key rounds will be 11-22 because at that point you are putting together the core of your team and replaceable parts
:up:

[L.A. Playa]

Plus Willis is my one I like the guy Ill reach to get him pick is mine and was my Dad's favorite player so I reached since season one is dedicated to my dad's memory. Like they say no risk no reward, big risk big reward

[The King]

Eb you we should come up with some kind of maintenance schedule for the forum all the completed trade threads should just be deleted.

[That Guy]

I think the key rounds will be 11-22 because at that point you are putting together the core of your team and replaceable parts
...And obviously you illustrated that point by using $20 million in the first round.

[The King]

Plus Willis is my one I like the guy Ill reach to get him pick is mine and was my Dad's favorite player so I reached since season one is dedicated to my dad's memory. Like they say no risk no reward, big risk big reward


That makes sometimes there is just a guy you want on your team. Thats Ed Reed for me.

[Ebenezer]

Eb you we should come up with some kind of maintenance schedule for the forum all the completed trade threads should just be deleted.
we don't delete any threads at BillsZone.com. They will just fall to the bottom over time. Change your setting so that you only see the threads that have been active in the last 2 days or 5 days. That will clean out a lot of stuff!!

[L.A. Playa]

Actually I spent $20 mill on the 1st 2 rounds, where as everyone else is spending 15-17.5 on the first 2 rounds

[Devin]

Yeah as I said Willis isnt a bad pick, and will likely be productive. Just may hurt down the road.

Its going to be choppy from here out so will be nice to see how people move.

[Ebenezer]

That makes sometimes there is just a guy you want on your team. Thats Ed Reed for me.
and Peppers for me.

[The King]

and Peppers for me.


You mean Reed?:snicker:

[Devin]

Wow some nimrod will pickup randy moss I bet in the 2nd round.

"38 Moss,Randy Min 0 0 0.0 0 0 49 3 767 15.7 82 13 767"

ROFL.

[Devin]

great reciever, wont help next season much based on stats.

[That Guy]

Wow some nimrod will pickup randy moss I bet in the 2nd round.

"38 Moss,Randy Min 0 0 0.0 0 0 49 3 767 15.7 82 13 767"

ROFL.
*moves Moss down from his top slot to avoid nimrodity*

[Devin]

lol. Nice move.

[Devin]

He was injured last year to right?

[The King]

Wow some nimrod will pickup randy moss I bet in the 2nd round.

"38 Moss,Randy Min 0 0 0.0 0 0 49 3 767 15.7 82 13 767"

ROFL.


A Mos TO combo would be sweet, but no thanks

[L.A. Playa]

Or could be a ploy to make people not draft by saying you would be a nimrod

[That Guy]

He was injured last year to right?
Yeah

[L.A. Playa]

and to think i was gonna draft steve smith with my 3rd round pick LOL

[L.A. Playa]

That Carlton Banks theme is cracking me up man that guy is short in person was at a party with him about a month ago he still does the Michael Jackson moves on the dance floor to impress the ladies was kinda funny

[Ebenezer]

You mean Reed?:snicker:
hey...I had Jones first...Reed and Peppers after that and Seymour to follow. I am happy with Peppers.

[The King]

I bet Ron Mexico really hurt Vicks status. no one wants to bring VD to their club.


Injury Report for Week 2:
Warrick Dunn is out this week with a sever case of genital warts. He is considered to be doubtful for Sundays Contest.

[That Guy]

*moves Vick down from the top of his list to avoid STDs*

[Devin]

Last pick in the first was D.Brooks OLB......

up there with the Center pick.

:snicker:

[L.A. Playa]

I say let those who missed time slots in Rd 1 pick up until their Rd 2 pick and/or until someones end time ie. now give whoever is up until 9:30 AM Monday but if they pick before then continue as quickly as we can :)

[The King]

Follow up with Bullock

[L.A. Playa]

yall can laugh at me for $20 mil on my QB RB combo, but Im curious at the $17.5 mil on LB's ????

I will allow that...the only team that missed was NASTY NIGHTS and SPAZ SPARTANS and if I remember SPAZ was passing anyway. We will keep the second round going!

DO NOT JUMP AHEAD!! UNLESS THE TEAM IN FRONT OF YOU PICKS THEY ARE ON THE CLOCK UNTIL MONDAY MORNING.

2 older guys too. At least your guys were younger.

[Michael82]

This was a good read. I know where I'm going to go next. I definitely could use some protection for McNabb especially if I have to face Peppers. :ill:

[Devin]

Bullock! lol wtf.


lol Yeah should be a great 2nd round, hopefully productive.

[L.A. Playa]

is there a website someone knows of that we can design uniforms, helmets and logo's at ??

[L.A. Playa]

Judging from posters and the traders so far I guess we are starting to see who the active owners are gonna be

[Devin]

Anyone know The Chef, let him know he can take his 2nd pick.

He may think he doesnt have to report back in til Monday.

[Devin]

Spartans pick up Big Ben. Not bad, youth and appears to have the talent. A little expensive imo, but he was on my board as well. If I had managed to get LT i might have spent the 2nd round on him.


Nice pick up.

I know and thank you!:up::beers:

[R. Rich]

And so, the first player of the ones I've targeted has come off the board.

[The Spaz]

Ok i'm off of work for a week let's keep this rolling!:up::beers:

[Ebenezer]

is there a website someone knows of that we can design uniforms, helmets and logo's at ??
that may become a feature in the future...stay tuned.

[The Spaz]

that may become a feature in the future...stay tuned.

The more detaiuled the better I say! :posrep:

[The Spaz]

Come on let's get this thing going because I know R. Rich is ready!:up:

[Devin]

Waitng on The Chef, dont know where he is. Anyone know him?

[Devin]

I just emailed him.

[RetroRaiders81]

Hmm, no talk about the #1 pick in the draft. What does everyone think? I was gonna go defense and dont think any QB should be drafted in the first round but Peyton.

[Devin]

Peyton was on my board. Good pick kind of a no-brainer probably why no one said anything. I had 3 potential first rounders, if they were gone I wouldnt have chosen in the first.

Peyton
LT
Brady

The first two were gone.

[The Spaz]

Please god I hope The Chef picks by tommorrow morning.

[RetroRaiders81]

I was seriously thinking about a Ed Reed or something but couldn't resist.

[L.A. Playa]

well been fun and exciting first day im going out partying but as many can see ill always listen and pull the trigger on trades

[Sportsuser101]

I didn't have a QB that I wanted to draft in the 1st round but thats just my thinking.

[The Spaz]

Yeeeaaarrrgghhhh!:cas::mad: :fury: :negrep:

[RetroRaiders81]

I have may list made with 31 possible selections for the last pick in the second round. I can't wait.

[The Spaz]

I'm ready too! :peace:

[The Spaz]

Can we please decrease the time limit. I would like to go to bed soon...lol. Seriously can we especially on weekends. I know once The Chef picks R. Rich will follow along within 5 minutes and make his pick and I am ready for mine as well. Let's get this show on the road.

it is tought to decrease the time limit...many folks are at work and will end up sliding in under the wire. I almost missed giving somebody their pick today. It is really tough to be patient I know but when we start picking 2 and 4 in a day you will see it will be ok...

as far as weekends? i've done this before...it never works. too many people are gone. for example, the odds of me being around the next 5 weekends are next to nothing.

Yeah weekends are tough.

[Devin]

It just is tough today because The Chef isnt a board regular, he prob made his pick and left thinking he was fine til Monday.

[Ebenezer]

that is probably true.

[Ebenezer]

Yeah weekends are tough.
I'll check in just to see if anybody makes a pick or a trade but wont be around much

[The Spaz]

Still nothing!:mad:

[The Spaz]

One team is holding this thing all up.

[Sabre Ally]

No one is holding anything up. The second round is on Monday.

[The Spaz]

No one is holding anything up. The second round is on Monday.

It could be before if people pick.

http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php?t=68982

[That Guy]

I'm not holding anything against this guy because technically he doesn't have to make his pick until Monday. Until then, I lay back, relax and plan out my picks and my team.

[Michael82]

EXACTLY. Its kinda funny actually because Spaz is the one who actually wasn't here on time for his pick. And now he's the one *****ing about the guy who isn't around because he doesn't have to pick until Monday. :snicker:

[Sabre Ally]

Sure, I'd like to see it happen before Monday, too.... I might even make a second round pick if that happens. But the guy does have until Monday, there's no need to be hard on him before then.

[The King]

Go figure the guy named spaz is the one freaking out. Carlton Banks should get his ass in line

[The Spaz]

Sorry I'm just excited!:peace::beers:

Well you know I have to work. I was only a few hours late and besides people could still pick and skip over me after my deadline was over.:up:

[Ebenezer]

Just checking in...took a break from cutting wainscoating to have lunch...so, what positions will be popular in the second round? :naughty:

[That Guy]

I'm pretty sure I can't answer that yet...

[tampabay25690]

I was very surprised in the amount of $10 million picks in the 1st round......

[RetroRaiders81]

Gotta go with defense

[Michael82]

I was very surprised in the amount of $10 million picks in the 1st round......
I'm curious how many people will skip over the $7.5 million rounds now because of that.

[RetroRaiders81]

Whats the cap limit again? It's so hard to pass, especially if you had the first pick.

[Devin]

85 Million Retro, but remember your also planning for next season.

And after 3 rounds some people will already have spent 25 million. on only 3 players. you have 50 more to pick.

[L.A. Playa]

That is unless you trade out of those rounds and stockpile picks, dont understand passing on a pick when you can trade it, I may have 2 $10mil players but will have no $7.5 mil players, unless that is someone else wants to trade out of the 2nd or 3rd rounds


85 Million Retro, but remember your also planning for next season.

[Devin]

well of course you have the option to trade. I traded away my 3rd, and will likely trade away 1 more pick before the end of the 10th round.

[L.A. Playa]

I traded your 3rd as well LOL, but when considering a trade keep me in mind Im always looking for a good fair deal and always consider all offers



well of course you have the option to trade. I traded away my 3rd, and will likely trade away 1 more pick before the end of the 10th round.

[RetroRaiders81]

I'm trading my 2nd rounder to anyone with a good offer, maybe some picks in the less expensive rounds. Go to the thread.

[Devin]

I tried mailing "The Chef" but i dont know if hes checked his email.

[ryjam282]

The chef is a friend of mine. He is not a board regular. I will try and get him to make his pick sometime this weekend, but I know he was out of town at a wedding. I will try but no guarantees.....

[Devin]

Thanks dude, I knew he was a friend of someone here. Even if he can just tell you over the phone its cool.

[tampabay25690]

Whats the cap limit again? It's so hard to pass, especially if you had the first pick.

If I had top 3 I would pick...

But I passed

[DraftBoy]

I passed on round 1 bc I was out of town and ill miss my round 2 pick bc of class, but I shot a list to Eb so my pick should be made, Im still deciding on if ill make a 3rd round pick or not.

[Devin]

I dont know if Eb will be around on Monday. Draftboy since I am helping out for Eb shoot me your list as well so I can make sure you get a pick in for Round 2.

[The Spaz]

It's almost time to draft again!:snicker::beers:

[Devin]

Thank god!

[The Spaz]

Thank god!

You know it.:hi5:

[Devin]

Tomorrow should be awesome maybe we can get the 3rd round rolling as well.

[Devin]

Think we all are, everyone had all weekend to get thier draft boards ready.

[RetroRaiders81]

Thank god I have a study hall at 9:00 and later on to see whats going on. I missed last draft. I'll have to hurry home and review the players drafted cuz I'll be on the clock for the third round. :up:

[Devin]
