OK, 4 months from now, when we do all this over again. Don't wake up in the middle of the night when you are supposed to go to work 2 hours later.

pickety pick? pick pick pick? pickety split?

and at 5:30 a.m., making a guest appearance (sleepwalking)... Vermont picks a QB

that hacked me off...i wanted that guy...i think he has a chance to be a star in the league. he is better than the guy taken in front of him and probably as good as the 1st rd QBs. Now i hope he busts. :evil:

Well.. dedicated GMs like me, who track the draft 24/7, we also have a close look at the candidates to be drafted.. I signed good ole Rocco for the sole purpose of mentoring a young QB.. naturally, I was going to draft a decent QB

lol...yup...i made the poor decision of drafting DT at 2-12 thinking the QB would slide to 2-15 and well not exactly...

i was hoping you would wait until 2-22 to grab a QB... :cry:

You guys got me curious, why the love for O'Neill, but not Strong?

EDIT: Which one was O'Neill was he the guy from Ark. St.?

Hehe, I was keeping tabs on who took what before my pick.. that's why it was so important for me not to auto-pick while I was sleeping.

I was considering letting him slip to 22 to take another player at 13, but when I saw someone's prioritylist get reduced by one when Strong was picked, I knew that they most likely had another QB on their priority list.

Now I hope my second guy is still there for 22.. which I think he will be.

Inching closer and closer to my first pick!

O'Neal from Florida.

Well, Strong looks good, but O'Neal was more even across the Screen to Deep passes, while Strong stood out in Long. His Screen-passes was very low and I run a short-pass offense, relying heavily on Logan and Kayser.

Secondly, for accuracy and avoid interceptions, O'Neal looks much steadier.

Basically, it seems to me that Strong's overall-rating was higher because he's a better kickholder, and I don't really need that .

However, Strong is more mature than O'Neal, but that will hopefully change

[Warhammer]

OK, I wasn't impressed with O'Neal's workouts which was one reason why I opted towards Strong. Plus, with 11 formations already known, I won't have to worry about scaling back the playbook due to this.

[Warhammer]

I really hope that Biggs had Dowdell rated higher than Haynes. That would make me feel better about the pick.

I forget which one I had first, I pretty much flipped a coin. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I'm glad that one of them was still on the board, because I'm not a big fan of the rest of the centers in the draft, and now I don't have to move [ifl]Artie Denny[/ifl] to C.

[Warhammer]

That was my dilemma, I needed a C, but I only really liked Dowdell. With Austin coming off the board and already having Strong, my next fit was at C, but I was afraid of making the move too early. The fact that you picked C right behind me confirmed that it was the right move to make.
