How many people are in these leagues you are playing in? I never end up with teams that good in mock drafts!

12 teams. Usually at least 1 person forgets about it and is on auto. Much happier with my ESPN team than nfl.com. Also, some people just come across as not having a clue. Brady went first or 2nd round in both drafts, I had 6th pick and Foster was still there on ESPN. I think AP, Rodgers, Megatron, Rice and Spiller went before him. Took Forte 2nd round, and got Bowe in the 7th i think. Hillman I took right at the end because I guess people think will Ball will start, Moore I took in the 14th or 15th instead of a backup TE. Also Miller in the 5th or 6th, again I think people don't know the name so don't realise he's down to be a starter.

Big Veldheer has a torn tricep and needs surgery. Lame.

 

[Aoami]

Sounds like Brady has hurt himself fairly badly in training.

Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter
Patriots took Tom Brady off practice field more for precautionary reasons than anything. Looks as if Patriots Nation can exhale.

I was close to tears for like 2 straight hours.

how did those little faggots on D not pick up on it when he just started walking straight forward. 1/10 would not give scholarship.

Is this true?

Is what true?

 

[Aoami]

stopped watching half way through season 4, it was so bad

 

[Cerb]

You know your plan for footy tomorrow? That will more or less be my plan every Sunday for the next few months....expect news of my divorcearound December.

 

[Aoami]

I wish it could be mine as well but such bad times over here obviously, especially if the Raiders are at home... usually between 1am and 3am starts here.

 

[Aoami]

matt flynn is fucking crap

 

[Aoami]

if the raiders win more than 2 games this year i will be delighted

 

[SilverHood]

My draft is on the 22nd.... Going to be tough, not been following the news at all, and practically anything can happen. Anyone think the New Orleans offense will bounce back now that their coach is back?

 

[Aoami]

they are absolutely shitting all over the raiders atm. 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. brees is looking amazing, although he has no pass rush to deal with.

I think they are in for a bounce back year all around!

 

[SilverHood]

RB2 R Bush
RB3 M Ingram (R)
RB4 R Helu (R)
RB5 A Bradshaw (R)
WR1 H Nicks
WR2 J Jones
WR3 C Johnson
W4 D Moore (R)
W5 D Heyward-Bey (R)
W6 S Holmes (R)
TE O Daniels
K B Walsh
DST Packers

 

[Cerb]

Jeez how many teams are in the leagues you guys play in? No way I'd get Rice/Calvin in any draft I'll do.

Also I reckon Bradshaw should be your RB3 there, maybe even your RB2.

Is it PPR?

 

[SilverHood]

13 teams, I was 8th pick, standard league. Got Rice in 2nd round, didn't quite believe it myself, but elite RB's went first, then elite QB's, I did a risky move with Megatron as 1st pick, as there were still plenty of good RB's on the board and I figured I'd swing one in the second round. The guys ahead of me snapped up the other amazing WR's / Jimmy Graham and Rice fell into my lap. Going to have some fun during bye week, too many week 8 and 9's byes on my team.

Will see about Bradshaw, when healthy he's amazing. Love the upside on Helu too, he was amazing in 2011 season.

 

[Cerb]

Haha I sometimes think to myself...what if I aimed to have all my byes on the one week and just punted that week?

I've got 3 drafts Sept 1st

 

[Aoami]

Rice is going lower lower in mocks ive been doing. A lot of people think he will lose even morr carries to pierce this year. Not many guaranteed points rb's on the board. AD, Foster, McCoy, Lynch, Charles, Spiller, Martin... not much else.

 

[Cerb]

I think the worries over Rice's carries are overblown. Sure Pierce is a fine change of pace back, but I still think Rice easily get's 20-25 touches a game, which I think will be more than Charles or Spiller will get at least. And he's still the goal line back, which means considering it's Rice, at least 10 TD's in my opinion.

You know a dirty little secret about Martin? He's TERRIBLE at close rushing TD's. He had 18 rushes inside the 5 yard line least year and only scored 8.

I think everyone but AP has some flaws.

I did consider that last year. People drop crazy good players because they need a bye week replacement, when they should just take a hit and play a man down if they have a roster full of studs.

 

[Cerb]

Just did my first draft with my friend from home in Ireland.....wow....I should walk this.

Colin Keapernick taken 1st overall!

My team:

Stafford
Foster
Ridley
Fitzgerald
Bowe
Forte
Jimmy Greham
Broncos
Zurlein kicker

Bench:
Garcon
Daryl Richardson
Sidney Rice
Ben Tate
Josh Gordon
Knowshon Moreno
Kendrell Thompkins


Can't believe how bad they were! I have 3 top ten RB's!

 

[Aoami]

Kaepernick? Wtf. Sweet team. I'd fuck Thompkins off though. And Moreno. General consensus seems to be that he'll only be a 3rd down back.

 

[Aoami]

just watching bama vs v tech, Amari Cooper is the absolute shit.

Also, lol @ matt flynn.
