Draft discussion goes here

[Kobeck]

after 8:00 sunday evening would be perfect for me. But I can have a preference list available for rounds 1 and 2 , hopefully round 1 will have passed me, 13th sometime saturday.

A 5'11" TE WTF!

Really...I can't wait till the tcy induced drafts. :lol:

The funny thing about this is you still get wacky physical attributes for some guys. You will see several DE's who weigh in at 230 or 240, not to mention those NT's who drive menuts because they weigh 260 and can't be moved to LDT or RDT.

Vito, your post in the draft thread was deleted. Lets keep draft talk here please. Keeps that thread from getting all cluttered...

Thanks

Oakland press, Oakland, Ca

We got a chance to talk to Oakland RB Wesley Connell on his way to mini-camp this morning.
Wesley, where do you think you will rate in regards to say...James Tart in the league?

" Tart? Thats dudes a fucking chump. He couldn't hold my jock strap. Mabe I could have him fetch me water or some shit...go rent me movies, or feed my dog. I am going to show him what a real fucking back can do this year."

Ok......looks like he joined the right team. We will try to talk to Hamilton when we see him. For now, this is Oakland press reporting to you from mini-camp...more when we have it.

Mock Draft as of 4 Dec 8:00 PM EST

STL - T Amos Barnhill
The RB they covetted was snatched due to a late trade by Fargo, but Barnhill shores up a suspect O-Line

MNT - G T.J. Doser
The 7th best rushing offense in the league gets a big boost in the mammoth Doser.

MUR - QB Darrell Wilson
Worst rushing team in the league, and since the team likes to throw, it had better snag a franchise QB since the best RBs have already been taken at this point

FRE - QB Skip Hildebrand
Fresno groans as Wilson's name is heard and settles for Hildebrand

NFK - CB Maurice Meyer
One of the bottom 10 passing defenses gets a boost in Meyer who will be an immediate starter

AQU - G Brian Pihos
Pihos is the all-around stud that the Matadors need to solidify a young talented line

ANC - TE Jerald Harden
Anchorage can't pass up on the talent Harden possesses. The question is, is Thelon Garcia going to be healthy enough to throw to him?

TUL - DT Maurice House
Tulsa was weak against the run last season. House is a step towards fixing that.

LOU - QB Rueben Sante
Pat Williams threw 6 TDs and 18 INTs last season. It's time for him to teach (being a mentor and all) a new guy the ropes.

LAW - CB Ben Hastings
Look for the Phantoms to make a FS out of Hastings.

HOU - T Kyle Hartman
4th worst rushing team in the league. Hartman becomes an instant starter on the line.

BOS - CB Rick Thomas
They're hoping Hastings or Meyer drops to this point. But they have to address this position regardless

HAR - LB Bryce Young
The woeful rushing defense in Hartford gets a boost as Young is moved to the outside

CBA - RB Joel Duffy
You know why Cartagana is depressed? Because he has no running game to take advantage of teams stacking against the pass

VAN - T Stan Reed
6-8, 320. That's a big man

WIC - DT John Mitchell
Wichita's run D was horrible last season

LAW - C Luther Boone
Look for Lawrence to trade down again, they need interior line help and none of what's left is worth taking in this slot

REN - WR Jonathon Russell
Reno will be ecstatic if Russell drops this far

WVA - LB Ted Lofton
Lofton has the speed to help the woeful West Virginia pass defense and can only help the #1 Run D in the league

MAD - CB Jon Houston
Madison needs pass D help badly. They'll take the best DB available here

SLC - DE Trent Hayden
With Tart on one side, and SLC's rush D on the other side, records have been set for rushing yards. Hayden is the kind of run defender Salt Lake City needs

ORL - T Roy Van Der Woude
27th in the league in yards per carry. Sounds like an O-line needs a boost

Nice Hawkster.

My only big problem is if sovstar takes a RB for Columbia then I am very suprised. He had a good running back and traded him because he did not use him that much. The Fire are run'n'shoot with a TE.

[Suicane]

Just to let everyone know, Im in discussions, which is why my pick hasn't happened yet, I don't want to drag things out, but I also wanna see if this deal goes thru, so.......

[hawkster]

Bah, you're stalling, Take Barnhill

[Suicane]

Actually, 1 of my problems when I had 2 picks in the 20's was that I have alot of "good" talent on my team, I couldn't see anybody down there to draft that would of been a #1 type player. My first trade up netted me that kind of guy though, this pick is tougher, as you can tell. 8)

[hawkster]

damned trades, minutes of analysis down the tubes just like that

[Cringer]

did Salt Lake really take a FB in round 1?

or is that a joke from the Columbia beat writer?

[Kobeck]

better than the K from the mock draft

[Cringer]

you guys waiting for your pick, good chance Pittsburgh will use the full hour and end up dropping unless he suprises us. So if you can't wait around send in a list.

[Warhammer]

This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to have only one round per day, until say round 5? I have a 20 man preference list, but chances are most of them will be picked by the end of the round.

Just a thought, after round 5 most players will be fairly equal in talent.

Chances are it will end up working out that way. I certianly hope 1 round is done per day.

That would put us finishing up on Saturday. Which would be perfect. Can things actually turn out that well? Something always pops up, so we will see.

If we get going TOO fast then yeah we can cut back and say 1 round a day, just so guys can get lists in and so sovstar and roadrash are able to maintian some sanity and personal life.
