Kahran Ramsus Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Not a lot of action today. Damn Kahran, that was cold, brother. I was going to take Taylor very, very soon. Hell of a pick there. I knew he wouldn't last much longer and he was simply more talented than the other guys I was considering. I mentioned it at the time, but he should have been the one taken many moons ago instead of Hornung.
CanadianChris Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Damn, it's my pick and I never even realized it. I'll have it up in a bit.
CanadianChris Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 OK, time to turn my attention to the defence... Nick Buoniconti, LB Super Bowl winner VII, VIII AFL All-Star 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1969 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl 1973, 1974 Boston Patriots 1960s All-Decade Team AFL All-Time Team Dolphins Silver Anniversary Team Pro Football Hall of Fame 2001 As much as I wish he'd just go away now, with the champagne toasts and everything, there's no denying his toughness and leadership abilities.
Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I'll take Russ Grimm. * 4x Pro Bowl selection (1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) * 5x All-Pro selection (1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) * NFL 1980s All-Decade Team * 70 Greatest Redskins Needed a guard. Eventually he'll make the Hall of Fame too.
jwest27 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 OT Ron Mix 8 Pro Bowls 9 All Pros The best RT left on the board as far as I could see.
Just John Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I hope it's just the 7/4 weekend, because this is getting sloppy. Any way, my pick (which admittedly is a couple hours after my deadline)... Donnie Shell - SS 5x Pro Bowl 5x All Pro 4x Super Bowl champ 51 career INT's With Atwater helping against the run, I'll complement him with a great pass covering safety for double coverage or zone situations.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I'm in San Francisco for the 7/4 weekend here, but I didn't know I had to pick. Anyways, my next pick is: LT Jim "Jimbo" Covert Just a good old-fashioned Left Tackle, one of the better ones of all-time, who helped block for Walter Payton's Bears in the 80s. There's not a whole lot of great left tackles left out there, so I figured might as well scrape him up while I can. He's a 2-time Pro Bowler and named to the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team (I believe the last tackle out there on an All-Decade team, as well).
Guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 When I was took Grimm, yeah, that was the other option. I had to think about that choice for quite a bit.
MFer Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I think the main problem is PM's not being sent. I've noticed a couple cases where someone who was up to pick never did (and they were logged in). This leads me to believe that they didn't receive any notice that they were up. I don't mind waiting, but it'd be nice to have a better pace to this thing like the hockey and soccer drafts.

Smartly Pretty Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Is Agent back yet? Do I need to pm him? Who's making his picks?
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I am. Agent picks: DT Russell Maryland Career Stats Sacks 24.5 INT 1 Safeties 1 Stats at NFL.com * 1x Pro Bowl selection (1993) * 1990 Outland Trophy I have some work to do, but I'll try and update the big board on the first page as soon as I get it done. For now, nogoodnick is on the board with his pick- if he doesn't pick within the next 8 hours, he will lose his draft spot and his players will be released back into the pool. He has two picks to make up as well. I think Jorge was going to post for him, but I don't know what's up, with his laptop or whatever. We'll see, and it's up to MFerXtreme87 to put him out of the draft at 12:43am PDT/3:43am EDT.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 If Nogoodnick makes up his two picks within the next 8 hours, do his missed picks go away? or if he misses another one later on is he gone?
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 The rules at the beginning say if you miss 3 rounds, you're out. I would assume that would mean missing 3 in general, not 3 in a row. Either way, both scenarios would apply to nogoodnick, since if he misses this round, he misses 3 in a row. In the first post, all the way at the bottom, there's a board I have listed there with posters that have missed picks (and how many), and then who still needs to make up picks. I think Broward is still missing a pick, but I'm not charging him (because of the holiday) nor me (because I'm pretty much running this damn thing + also because of the holiday) with a missed pick. I need to PM him and let him know, actually.
Kahran Ramsus Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 This is where I wish I was at the end of the round. Nobody I want from his team has a shot of getting back to me. Is there anyone who wants to take over his team by any chance, ala Fokai with Canadian Brandon's team?
Gert T Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah I think it is almost too late to disband his team. Can we just get another person or "lock" his team?
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Eventhough I'll get two of his guys, I don't think disbanding the team is fair to the people who none of his guys will get to. I think it's too late and it gives us picking at the end a bit of an unfair advantage. Just my take on it. I think we should get a replacement.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah lock the team and keep the chosen players off the market. It's just not fair to people to allow the next few people to have easy pickings of a pretty good team.
HarleyQuinn Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 LG Mike Michalski Small at 6'0" and 210 lbs. but a bad ass who will definitely play through injury. The Glory - Played from 1926-1937 for the New York Yankees and Green Bay Packers in 122 games. - First guard inducted into the HOF (1964) - 1920's All Decade Team - 6x All Pro - "Moreover, throughout his football career he played with an unrepaired congenital abdominal hernia."... Who doesn't love these old school players?
Broward83 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 To shore up my O-Line, sans center.. I go with: RG -- Russ Grimm Career Stats Games played 140 Games Started 114 Fumble recoveries 7 Career Highlights and Awards 4x Pro Bowl selection (1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) 5x All-Pro selection (1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) NFL 1980s All-Decade Team 70 Greatest Redskins
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I'm back. Settle down, kids. Let me take inventory.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 As the Roger Goodell of the NFL draft, nogoodnic's team is LOCKED until I get confirmation he's not playing anymore and a replacement is found. The more I think about it, the more I don't like releasing players back into the pool. People with position at the other end of the draft order get hosed.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Also, Cornelius Bennett is released back into the pool, since I'm not running 4 down linemen and 4 LBs. My list must have run out quick. To replace Bennett, I'm taking S-Bob Sanders I've watched nearly every down of professional football this guy has played, and he's a homicidal maniac. Injury prone, but when he's on, he's D-Player of the year good. Intelligent and lethal in the right coach's hands, and what defensive coach's hands are better than Landry? I recall a close one in Indy where he brilliantly slapped a tipped ball out of bounds on a 4th down play that could've easily gone to daylight if anyone decided to be a hero. I love that kind of shit. 2x All-Pro selection (2005, 2007) 2x Pro Bowl selection (2005, 2007) Super Bowl champion (XLI) 2007 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year 2007 GMC Defensive Player of the Year
MFer Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Well in that case, I'll take... Jackie Smith 5x Pro Bowl selection (1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970) 5x All-Pro selection (1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970) There's quite a few teams left without a TE, and not a lot of top-tier ones available, so I felt that I had better get one soon. Smith is probably most known for being the "sickest man in America" during Super Bowl XIII, but before that, he was an excellent TE for the Cardinals (then in St. Louis). He averaged 16.5 yards per reception for his 16-year career, which is outstanding, even when you adjust for the era that he played in. He was also a great blocker, so I don't have to lose that part of the game at that position. And he even ran the ball 38 times for 327 yards and 2 TD's to boot.
