1990 - 2015 NFL Draft : CHAT

[femurov]

I am just messing with you, I like Elway, but I do not think that he is as good as his reputation

And that's a little disappointing as well. If I couldn't talk football, I figured I might have found a hook up for some good psychedelic drugs.

Great job by the wieners!

I will post the semi-finals a little later.

Ritz vs Milk and UK vs 500

I really don't understand why oline is never respected... As an ex-olineman this upsets me most of all...

I'm with you wlk. The game is won in the trenches.

This was the first draft that I did not go oline early and often. Never got votes.

The one time I didn't go oline heavy was the first time we met up and the talk was your o and d lines lol... That's what blew me into my tantrum... My bad for that by the way...

I still masturbate to those lines....... ah Jesus you got me started!

9 times out of 10... IMO if the talent is very close, which most times are in these the oline vs dline is the matchup that wins... Oh well, I'll say Milk and Mebert have been the most consistent in oline grabbing with me... Others grab ones to keep up but those to are there grabbing them early with me... Perhaps with us 3 and the addition of Femur we can't start making them as important as the other spots...

Alan Page, Joe Green, AND Reggie White? Mmmmmmm

Unfortunately in the end I had Elway. You can't recover from that

I think lines matter quite a bit but in our drafts its not like one team has the best offensive linemen of all time and the other team has 5 nobodies. You have to look at advantages and offensive line usually isn't enough of an advantage to make the difference. I also do believe there have been occasions where people have mentioned offensive line as a reason for their vote.

I have to disagree... The least important thing in every NFL draft we do is oline... When we grab Lewis, Moss so on its a game changer... I have Allen maybe best ever and Hitch who is 2 maybe 3 in this draft and a top 3 C the the best RT in this draft and a top 5 LT in this draft... Not any mention of how Allen would be picking up Aaron and putting him in his pocket come 4th quarter... The line is clearly dominant vs a pass rush heavy dline... I'll drop it though... Off to vote...

Mavs put a BEAT DOWN on the Warriors

1 man team. Kay Thompson has always been an average 2 gaurd who gets a lot if wide open shots because Curry took all if the attention. I love Dramond Green, but he is the type of player who is more valuable the better the team he is on.

All that being said, with Curry they are still the best team.

I just found out I have more PTO then I can carry over to the new year. I have already dropped the kid at day care, so what do people do with no kid or work time?

So from what you're saying its defensive line that's actually the least important. You telling me that if I had a D-line of Reggie White, Alan Page, Joe Greene, Bruce Smith that they would have no chance against the top O-line? That's ridiculous. Has there ever been an offensive lineman who didn't give up a sack his entire career? Of course not, even the best offensive linemen in history give up sacks to lesser players than the ones I just mentioned. O-line makes a difference to me but it's not the main thing that decides a game and shouldn't be. If you have a great O-line to go along with great skill players then of course it helps but again a top offensive line doesn't guarantee victory.

It's actually quite the opposite. The Cowboys OLine in the early 90's is widely regarded as one of the 3-4 greatest OLines ever, along with the Shell/Upshaw Raiders, The Hogs, and the 60s Packers. I watched that OL get absolutely destroyed every way imaginable once against the Eagles, who sacked Aikman 12 times in one game. Reggie, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner at LB....we got our revenge later on, but that was a massacre
