So, Mingo is the first to lost his 1st round selection for the year to injury, with Nelson's ACL going kablooey.

Yeah and hopefully the Steelers offense doesn't take a hit w/ Pouncey going down for the year w/ a broken ankle...

Xulu has a nice collection of rookie RB's going on there.

Almost took Roddy White with my Round 7 pick. Didn't figure he would be there for my next pick. Hasn't put up the numbers in recent years, but pretty good value in round 7.

We picked up Fernando Velasco a few years ago when Pouncey went down at the start of a season, and ended up doing well without him.

Maybe Velasco comes available again. I think he was hugely underrated for what he did. I think we'll be all right. The loss of Tuitt is more worrying. Hope that one comes back quick.

Gotta protect Big Ben for fantasy purposes.

 

[Superbelt]

Ben plays better when he's taking a beating anyway.

Strangely true; although, gotta think the cumulative beating is bound to start taking a toll eventually.

 

[Superbelt]

Oh yeah, he'll be the kinda person who can't walk up a flight of stairs in his 40's. But for now, he's livin' the dream!

Toyed with Bennett last round, just not real excited about him this year especially if Cutler starts pouting again.

You mean especially not with Royal taking over the middle of the field!

The Marmots are coming for you.

 

[eaglesnut]

Hahaha which is a perfect segway into my question about making a picture a medium size?

For now there will be a Giant Mountain Goat in all your faces on the roster thread...

LOL looks like we spent some of our afternoons the same way, DC.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing with the med sized pics around here.

Colston isn't a sexy pick, but he's been with Brees forever, so hopefully he'll be a solid, if unspectacular, WR3.

 

[Mingo]

Third year in a row - I've picked Ronnie Hillman (the youngest player to ever score a TD in the NFL). I'm thinking it is like some people always pick their birthday as their lottery number - we all hope it will work this time.

I really considered him. I think with Graham gone, he will get a few more TDs.

 

[Anointed One]

I homered out and picked the Hawks defense... I'm tired of getting stuck w/ a crappy defense each year... Should be much more improved w/ our rookie returner... (Can't say names of guys' not picked!)

 

[Draft Crazy]

Colston was great value there. My top WR left... With Graham gone he should get more EZ opps.

 

[Mingo]

I lost Jordy Nelson already, but Julius Thomas in the 7th round - could pay off like a 2nd rounder or better. Yeah - he is a weenie, but he will get plenty of targets and TE as the first guys young QBs get comfortable throwing too and Bortles is pretty good. Someone is going to want him to earn his money.

 

[Draft Crazy]

It will be week 4 before you lost JT.

But in honesty I hope JT does well for you. I hope he proves people that he isn't just in this game for the money.

Bummer... Stu is holding us up...
