So.... it's NFL draft week! Does that give us a deadline for a new commish? I would nominate one of the non-baseball MBBRL'ers to take us into the new season.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Unless, of course one of the baseballers wants to take over, by all means I meant no disrespect.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Thought T was gonna do it.....................

 

[TKOSpikes]

oh... sweet.

The only one missing that I could possibly get excited over is Golden Tate to the Lions. I actually think he will do well opposite Calvin.

Nice catch Lefty. I missed Tate. His ADP is currently 35, so he's being drafted before almost half the WR on the free agent list. And Jim Caldwell loves to pass. Lefty, you may be right! That said, if you have a choice of throwing to either Megatron or Showtime, wouldn't you pick Calvin most ALL of the time? Definitely something to watch.

Thought T was gonna do it.....................

T.... as in Treff? Or TKO? So long as it isn't me. Long live the new Commish!

 

[TKOSpikes]

T as in Tlance, I was assuming...

 

[Sam Sportboy]

T as in Tlance, I was assuming...

Yeah, that's who I thought even though I'm sure all ya'll would do awesome................

 

[averagejoe]

T as in Tlance, I was assuming...

Tlance seemed to jump right in at the end last season and was all business. He'd make a good Commish.

 

[TKOSpikes]

He'd make a good Commish.

take out the 'd, and add an s to make...

 

[Sam Sportboy]

take out the 'd, and add an s to make...

Hes make a good commish?.....................lol. I think hes make a good commish two.............

 

[TKOSpikes]

try again Sam

 

[Sam Sportboy]

try again Sam

I'm usually not so slow but I don't get it...........................

 

[TKOSpikes]

take the 'd off of He'd = He
add an s to make = makes

He'd make a good commish = He makes a good commish

 

[Sam Sportboy]

take the 'd off of He'd = He
add an s to make = makes

He'd make a good commish = He makes a good commish

Sandwich a U between D and an H and that's how I feel now.................

Absolutely, No doubt - - but unless Detroit changes philosophies he'll still be targeted more as a #2 than he was as a #1 in Seattle.

Tate's best season was 2013 and he was 2 yards shy of 900. I have no doubt hat Caldwell's offense will be pass-heavy. But looking back at Caldwell's track record (below), I'm not so sure that Tate will do better than 900 yards.

2009 Colts - Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark both had over 1000 yards.
2010 Colts - Wayne had over 1000. Next closest was Jacob Tammie and Austin Collie each with 600+.
2011 Colts - Wayne and Garcon topped out in the 900 yard range.
2013 Ravens - Torrey Smith had 1100 yards. Marlon Brown and Jacoby Jones were next with 500+ and 400+ respectively.

I'm probably presenting a lot of negatives here? Don't get me wrong, I agree Tate will be a better option as the WR2 in Detroit than some others.

Yep - that's pretty much inline with the numbers I'd expect. In fantasy draft-able as a #3WR. Not really expecting or stating anything more, just that he will likely produce in the same neighborhood as Decker, Ben Tate, Chris Johnson and other free agents getting a lot more buzz.

good read Joe - I'll toss my 2 cents in on the Britt signing since I'm located in the STL area - he's there to push Quick, which is a competition Britt could easily win if he stays healthy and goes to sleep at night instead of going to the strip clubs.

Tavon Austin is what he is - a dynamic slot WR/return man. Based off the local radio shows, I'd be surprised to see Tavon on the field for over 50% of the offensive snaps in 2014-15. They are looking more and more to utilize him as a specialist, as opposed to your every snap WR2. Despite last season's struggles, Chris Givens should be the game day WR2, and I expect Stedman Bailey to get some turns on that side more so than Tavon. Last year, they tried to expand Givens' route tree, and you could tell he was behind the learning curve there.

I don't see the Rams using one of their 1st or 2nd round draft selections on a WR, contrary to everyone saying they will take Watkins at #2 or Evans at #13. I'm expecting 2 defensive players and 1 OL next THR, in any order. C'mon Houston - take Johnny Football, you know you want to!!!

OH NO WE DON'T

 

[TKOSpikes]

Don't get me wrong, I like E.J. Manuel (at least I think I do), but it's times like these that make me upset with that pick. There are clearly a handful of newbies I'd rather have, including Johnny Football. Rumblings of the Bills grabbing Watkins or Beckham are warranted, (or Ebron who I'd prefer), but I don't feel secure about it... rather we take Matthews, and sure up the line, but it seems Stevie Johnson might be on his way out with this news?
