MBBRL Suicide League Draft Thread

[averagejoe]

Nice pick, TKO. I'll take two guys I'm a little surprised have lasted this long (pretty sure I'm hitting the one Joe was thinking of): Knowshon and Helu.

No. Those are not either of the guys. But Knowshon is a bit of a surprise that he lasted this long. He'll get his touches. Actually I found out that the guy I was talking about does have an injury and he may not be ready by week 1.

Updated:

As for the McCluster pick, my sources have him as a RB, not a WR, so that is why he's in the chart as a RB. If memory serves, ESPN may eventually list him as both RB/WR which is rare. But they've done it in the past. Usually the dual position goes to IDP guys who double as either a LB or DT. That'll work in Treff's favor IMO.
​

I looked at Helu so many times it hurts. Nice one... (but I hope the Knowshon thing doesn't work out)

I think I'll double up at TE here, and go with Fred Davis. (hopefully he gets/stays healthy)

back to you Monkey...

TKO, Freddie was taken. (See the chart that I painstakingly update for the benefit of people who refuse to look at it.) Go Hawks!

 

[TREFF]

Joe, pretty sure that both of the past two seasons ESPN has listed Dexter as the rare RB/WR...yet another reason to pray he carves out a significant role.

 

[Barilko]

Growing up in Nebraska, we didn't have an NFL team, and the games that were on were always Broncos, occasionally Chiefs..I got sick and tired of them, they weren't my "home" team..so I went the opposite way..who's the team they hate the most? Raiders Nation here I come. And it just stuck. Comes in awfully handy now that I live in Colorado, really pisses people off!

Braves? Well truth be told, I'll always hold a sentimental place in my heart for the Royals, George Brett diving into the dugout during the 85 world series is what made me become a baseball fan, but once I was old enough to understand the economics of baseball, I realized that there wasn't much point in remaining a Royals diehard, and the Braves were constantly on TBS, so it fit.

Cowboys? just in the blood, everyone in my family loves the Cowboys..I think Roger Staubach swayed my grandpa, and we just followed generation after generation.

Well Treff i must say the Raiders and the avatar go hand in hand

Well Treff i must say the Raiders and the avatar go hand in hand

Yeah, they both look like they've been dead about ten years.

 

[wilwhite]

ESPN has McCluster as a straight-up WR, so unless they change it that's the only slot Treff could use him.

wow... can't believe I missed that! must have been because it was such a recent pick...I was looking at the suicide draft to see if he went there! -- okay, give me a second here

 

[TKOSpikes]

sorry about that guys... try this again, I'll continue with the "doubling up" on TE's and take Coby Fleener as Allen didn't overwhelm anyone last year as to have a strangle-hold on the job.

Santonio is injured, but still represents the closest thing to a WR for NYJ. Once he is healthy, he should at least get targets. Not projecting he gets much more than that, but this could be a great pick if he can get fully healthy, whom ever the NYJ start at QB, dude should be throwing 40+ passes most weeks to catch up.

 

[leftypower]

Waited one rd too long for the gamble on Holmes. So, given the possible suspension of Goodson, I'll backup a backup with Bilal Powell RB NYJ. Jets will have to run so at least one of these guys will get touches behind Ivory. On to Ram .......

[wilwhite]

Joe, your arrows got off, starting with "20th."

I figure after Treff we'll count on your board for the first ten rounds.

 

[averagejoe]

Sorry 'bout that Wil. I'll fix on the next chart. Santonio Holmes was the guy I was talking about. WR1 playing for a team that will probably be losing a lot (and needing to pass in the second half). Gotta get back to game 3. Another heart-attack special.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I looked hard at Holmes -- and another Jets WR, but week 10 bye would not work for me... speaking of which, I'm staring at three wily vets here, and will have a real hard time choosing between them... kind of hoping one is taken by then...

 

[leftypower]

On to Ram .......

Hey guys, CHECK THIS OUT!

Was doing a search to find the thread at we started on ESPN's forum boards and stumbled across this in the results! And it even seems to be in tact (except for our avitars).
