TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Yah, I amazed Unitas was still available. And Lambert being off the board made it easier for me to choose a Steel Curtain member to lead my D.
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I've been having some major problems with this site, and I see there have been lots of picks so it may just be. Has anybody else been noticing this problem? Elway & Unitas were my top two QBs so getting them at the end of the first round is amazing. Munoz is also a fantastic pick in the second round. He's the Jerry Rice of offensive linemen.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Elway was who I meant by the QB I'd probably have taken #1 if I was drafting. ... for the zero of you who cared to have that mystery solved.
nogoodnick Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Ronnie Lott- Defensive back * 10x Pro Bowl selection (1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991) * 9x All-Pro selection (1981, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991) * NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team * NFL 1980s All-Decade Team * NFL 1990s All-Decade Team * San Francisco 49ers #42 Retired
Just John Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Damn, Lott was 3 picks from making it back to me.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Well, piss on you then. I'm goin' defense again. This time with a guy who doesn't seem to get mentioned in the "All-time immortal defensive players" discussion. DE-Bruce Smith 11x Pro Bowl selection (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998) 12 All-Pro selection (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998) NFL 1990s All-Decade Team NFL 1980s All-Decade Team 2x NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1990, 1996) NFL Hall of fame NFL Record 200 career sacks. 200 fuckin' sacks. The Bills' player record before that was apparently, 52. Four straight AFC championships in 19 season. That's four successful lifetimes on the defensive line. Plus, he can flush Montana right into Lambert. Yessssssss.
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I have him close to Reggie White, so getting him almost a full round later is incredible.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 He held on too long to get to that 200 sacks... But there was a time when that guy was fucking unblockable. Bad things man...
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Well, the guy I want is still there so I would have had him if we had a 12 team draft. He's going to go soon though, I imagine.
HarleyQuinn Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I'm trying to decide whether to draft the "best" team or a team that if I were building a squad, these would be the players I'd target. I'll probably lean towards the latter but it should provide entertainment for my next 2 picks.
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I'm trying to decide whether to draft the "best" team or a team that if I were building a squad, these would be the players I'd target. Most of the time I would consider those two options to be one and the same. Unless there happens to be a talented player that is a complete asshole and horrible teammate.
Smartly Pretty Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Bruce Matthews. 14 time pro bowler, 12 time all pro. A ninth round pick, too.
Just John Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 First Lott, then Smith... I'm finding it tougher to stick to my philosophy when my top two defensive choices were taken and there's still one offensive guy on the board I really want, but I have to stay disciplined here. Derrick Thomas - OLB 9x Pro Bowl 3x All pro 90's all decade team 89 defensive RotY Got 7 sacks in a game once I didn't get quite as much QB pressure as I would get with Smith, but DT was still a hell of a pass rush threat and good against the run as well. There's a lot of sacks, tackles, and forced fumbles to be had with Thomas.
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Well Agent took my next pick. Fuck! Although, I'm not surprised. Well, I got an amazing leader on offense, now I need a leader on defense- DB Rod Woodson Career Highlights and Awards * 11x Pro Bowl selection (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002) * 9x All-Pro selection (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2002) * NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team * NFL 1990s All-Decade Team * 1993 NFL Defensive Player of the Year * 1993 UPI AFL-AFC Player of the Year NFL Records * 1,483 career interception yards * 12 interceptions returned for touchdowns I was shocked- SHOCKED, I tell ya- to see guys like Derrick Thomas and even Ronnie Lott get selected before arguably one of the best defensive leaders ever. Thank for letting me have him, guys! Guy was on some of the most amazing defenses ever, from the late 80's-90's Steelers to the greatest single season defensive team ever in the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. Having him on defense instantly upgrades and makes every player there better. Fast, and a tough hitter- he knocked Warren Moon out of a game with a concussion on a cornerback blitz. I'm disappointed I couldn't get some of the guys on the defensive line I was looking at, like Joe Greene or Bruce Smith, but I didn't expect them to last very long anyways.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 This is actually taking slower then I thought it would be...
CanadianChris Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 20 participants will do that. This will easily still be running at the start of the season.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 I'm looking forward to seeing someone draft a guy who had a good game that day once the season rolls around.
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 This is why I wanted to do groups of linemen rather than individual ones, but you guys HAD to have your Anthony Munozes and Bruce Matthewses.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 At this rate, it won't be until the weekend until I make my next draft selections.
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 We have until 1:41 tonight right? We might get a rush then if Broward doesn't show up. I assume we can just jump in like in real life.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 People should really invest in the idea of pre picking your picks, and sending them to whomever is running the thing.
Smartly Pretty Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 This is why I wanted to do groups of linemen rather than individual ones, but you guys HAD to have your Anthony Munozes and Bruce Matthewses. I voted for groups of linemen, too. But we're not doing that, so I might as well participate.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Yah if I was in this when voting happened, I would've voted for groups of linemen.
Bored Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Why do people always act surprised when these board drafts go slow? As if any of them ever go fast. And real men pick individual linemen. pro-football-reference.com is your friend.
Broward83 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Receptions 589 Receiving Yards 8,974 Touchdowns 76 ...Biletnikoff's career total of 589 receptions is relatively unimpressive by today's standards, but it was a remarkable considering he would regularly smoke two packs of cigarettes per day. Also, this achievement is even more remarkable considering the more run-oriented offenses in the 60s and 70s, when the regular season was only 14 games long. The same can be said of his record of 10 straight seasons with 40 or more receptions...
jwest27 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 John Hannah 9 Pro Bowls 11 All Pros On the 1970's and 1980's All-Decade Teams Alright, so he's actually probably not the "Greatest Offensive Lineman of All Time" (due to Anthony Munoz), but considering he was apparently once considered so, and is still one of the greatest run blockers of all time, I'm gonna take him.
Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Ray Nitschke is not a very hard pick at this point. Can't let him pass any further, seeing as he was namedropped. Ah hell, I would've picked him anyway, namedrop or not. Rod Woodson is a pretty damn good selection. I would've taken him before Thomas or Lott.
