1st Round Draft Discussion, 2008

[JesterBlaze]

Fuuuuuuck!! That's who I was gonna trade up to grab!

I no want to play against him twice per year.

[Warhammer]

I'm actually puzzled he went so high.

Working on my pick right now

[JesterBlaze]

I'm actually puzzled he went so high.

He's got 37 current so he can play right away most likely, although not on Matt's roster.
He's got high "Getting Downfield", high "Route Running", above average "3rd down Catching", high "Big Play Receiving" and high "Avoid Fumbles".
He's got a 4.32 forty time and a 6.84 agility drill.
And not that this would've helped me had I drafted him but Newark has a knack for drafting guys that pop 30 points after the draft.

I had originally planned on taking Jamies Williams at 2.3 but also though Kley would've been gone by 9.

[Warhammer]

I had this trio of WRs pegged for the late 2nd/early 3rd round, each of them had a ton of questions, and there are plenty of other quality players that have little or no questions.

I can actually see why Kley dropped, I had a few issues with him, but he should be a solid player.

I'm online taking a look at my options for the 12th pick.

PS: Anyone looking to move up, I'm checking my PM's.

I agree there are other quality players, but they all have questions in the draft. WR is also a position of need overall in the IFL IMO.

I can actually see why Kley dropped, I had a few issues with him, but he should be a solid player.

What surprised me about Kley dropping is that from day 1 (barring a post draft drop) he's going to be rated higher than 80% of the IFL will ever be. <- Stat pulled out of my box of Boo Berry cereal. Not to be taken too seriously.

[Warhammer]

Kley was a good pick where he was selected. I just had some issues with him. Had I been at #9 or 10 though, I would have taken him.

I was also trying to trade up to get him, but his lack of college PT scared me off a little.

[spunkywhitebread]

Talking trade folks. Sorry for the delay.

Fun fact on Butch Tubbs, IWC's 2-10 pick:

He is the NCAA career interceptions leader with 21.

I figured he'd go.

[spunkywhitebread]

I was looking at Tubbs for the 2.12 pick, but sadly Iowa City snatched him up. Hence the reason I'm looking at moving down. Damn you Snipe Hunters.

[Warhammer]

I guess you could say they sniped him.

[Argot]

Tubbs and Williams were both on my list at 2.8, but a sack producing DE to sub the aging McBroom was necessary. When Kinney was taken Shergalis became my only reasonable option.
