[The Q]

well, if i remember correctly, the timed portion of the draft starts today. so what's the window?

I believe it's 6 hours.

 

[Ottermatic]

so, if seahawk DID mean tomorrow, not when he wakes up today, we skip him at 2 pm eastern today?

 

[Draft Crazy]

He's up and picking.

 

[BSUSeahawk]

Sorry guys... I swear I'm on vacation every year when this starts. Pick will be coming within 5-10 minutes max.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Stick around after you pick Ill post mine ASAP.

 

[BSUSeahawk]

Done. And thanks a million to Scott for posting all my stuff.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Bringing back Keith Ford off my team two years ago. He was fantastic with Oklahoma before his foot injury.

John Ross, very talented, but the fact that he has no QB concerns me, but thought he was too good to pass up. I just don't know what he will be like fantasy wise as he is on a run happy team with no QB, and he has had two knee injuries. But if healthy and if they ever find a QB he could be a nice breakout guy. Im sorta expecting more of average with what is around him.

BTW this has to be the first time we had two Iowa State players go in the first 5 rounds and 3 in 7 rounds.

I know he is in a share carries role, but Shannon Brooks was a guy I targted for this league late last year. I knew when I took Ford I would probably lose him and if it wasn't for the musical RB's at UM last year I'd probably have taken him earlier. Was very impressed when watching him late in the year. The way he ran, the vision and he loved contact. I think he is going to be a dandy, just not sure what he will be like fantasy wise from a consistent level.

 

[Draft Crazy]

We will probably be delayed a few hours this morning as it is 5:00 Seahawk time.

 

[The Q]

2 super Q like picks last round in Sanders and Evans....and neither was taken by Q.

Was really hoping to get Evans after the turn.

Definitely didn't see RS taking that kind of player. Very out of character. I was more worried about JB snagging him there. lol

 

[Draft Crazy]

I sorta like the pace we are going at. We basically get around the draft order each day and stop at Seahawk for the morning. A nice pace to have, not too fast, not too slow. Also, we always get to JonBlaze in the afternoon which is great because he doesn't have to leave a proxy that way. So far every day since we have started. I have picked either right when I get up or soon after. We are on a routine here. Let's see how long it last.

Also, few RB's I had last year just went.

I wanted to say Travon McMillian did an excellent job for me coming in and being my 3rd RB when I needed him the most. He didn't "Kill" it fantasy wise, but he had some solid games for me when it appeared my only real weakness was my flex RB. I thank him for that and best of luck to him as he joins his new journey.

Damien Harris, RB, Alabama- Very talented. I thought last year when I selected him in the mid rounds that he might end up being my keeper RB this year, but then this Scarbrough character jumped into the picture. Harris is very talented. Be interesting to see how Bama uses both this year.

I have a nack for getting the Alabama #2 RB and then never being able to use them, then they become real good RB's

I have had the following

Trent Richardson (When he was behind Mark Ingram)
Eddie Lacy (when he was behind Trent Richardson)
TJ Yeldon (When he was behind Eddie Lacy, then 2 years as a starter but he shared a lot more then the other guys)
Derrick Henry (when he was behind TJ Yeldon)
Damien Harris (When he was behind Derrick Henry)

 

[Paper Tigers]

I've taken a few RBs with a lot of downside (Scott, Harris) thus far so I thought I needed a safe guy (albeit with limited upside) here. I think Utah's offense will be anemic, but if Williams can give me 25 carries for 75 yards in the occasional spot start, then he'll be good value in the 9th Round. Probably could have gotten him a round or two later but someone might snatch him up before the draft snakes back to me in Round 10.

Some (lame) traditions never die.

 

[Ottermatic]

very happy to welcome ronald jones ii back to the vampire ducks

 

[The Q]

Zamora was at least 3 pages ahead of Pringle in my rankings.

Baylor WR2, huge RZ target guy who clearly and make those jump ball catches in traffic.

 

[Red Snow]

I was going to take Zamora with my next pick.

 

[Draft Crazy]

I wanted to take a moment to honor the 100th pick in this years draft.

Deebo Samuel. New tradition the 100th pick gets to go to Disney world after the season.
