Draft Discussion

Good news for you, Raw. Bush is signed and should be practicing by Monday. I think I may drive over and watch the Saints practice on Tuesday, myself.

Yeah, I thought he really might sit out. I think the Saints use him as the Dolphins did with Ronnie Brown last year. He'll get 10-15 carries a game easily, a few touches on swing passes, and Deuce will get the same. Won't score many TDs, unless he breaks a big one, as Deuce will get the goaline carries. Next year, though, he will be an absolute star.

Wow, there hasn't been a pick since Friday. I hope it continues to go this slow when I'm on vacation.

Someone needs to find Burnt and tell him it's his pick again.

I checked the forum three times but didn't realize it was my pick cause the thread didn't turn orange.

Excuses...excuses.

Someone needs to find Uber and tell him it's his pick.

Hell of a risky pick, IMB.

I know, I know, but I figure, why not. Denver always gets running back production, and i have dayne and bell, one of whom will be the starter when the season starts.

O_O, you're up when you get settled into the new digs.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up.

 

I'll be picking in a moment. I'm just annoyed that one of my RBs has a shoulder injury and another spit on a teammate. :evil:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The draft has slowed to a crawl...or worse. It may be time to place a 24-hour limit on picks or we may be drafting when the season starts.

I think this should be the last round, then everybody can pick up players off waivers to complete their roster.

I'd say 2 more rounds, but I wouldn't be opposed to this one being the last.

[Roast]

Hmm, the waiver thing could get interesting....I vote two rounds. But if we're not through this round by the end of the week then we probably should anyways.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok we've now gone over four days without anyone making a pick. This needs to pick up.

[Roast]

Wow, just over 5 days to pick a kicker..

[Uber]

Cry about it, please.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I don't want to cry, but I do think it's time to impose a 24-hour limit on making a pick. Since the season is getting close, if everyone will check in at least once a day we can keep things moving along.

Should we draft up to the top again and then go to waivers? Or do you guys want to go back up to the top, down to Raw and then go to waivers?

Let's go two more rounds, imo.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I say back to the top and then waivers, but either way. I don't mind drafting all the way until rosters are finished as long as people pick up the pace.

[rawaction]

I'd say go back up to the top. Most teams are pretty much full now, other than backups and possibly kickers and defenses.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I dare you to make your pick IMB!

[ChiCubsFan]

I double dog dare him!
