I would have taken Graham too.1.09 - was torn between Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, and Rob Gronkowski. The point seperation between TE1-2 and the field is amplified due to the scoring system. I hate to pass on Brees, but post draft I feel there is a clearer QB picture and I get good value later than is previous drafts this year. With Gronk vs Graham, I think both will be great. Reasons I went Graham:Graham 99 catches to Gronk 90Patriots add Brandon Lloyd, A. Hernandez healthySaints lose Meachem, Nick Toon learning curve.Earlier bye week for the SaintsSean Payton - I don't think there will be any drastic changes to the offense without Payton. New OC in NE may change things up a bit.Both players will be very safe and should provide an big advantage vs. the field.
I wish you wouldn't haveI decided to drink the T-Rich Kool aid so hopefully it isn't spiked.
You can blame Bloom. If he hadn't taken Davis, T-Rich would probably have been available to you.I wish you wouldn't haveI decided to drink the T-Rich Kool aid so hopefully it isn't spiked.
Not really; if he hadn't taken Davis there I would have at the next pick.'snellman said:You can blame Bloom.

Thanks. I'd like to say its part of some great master plan, but the WR/RB run in the previous 18 picks didn't leave any good value on the board in those positions.love that turn dillonot seeing much of a drop off from my newton/gates combo to your rivers/pettigrew on the next turn
4.16 Jay Cutler QB CHI 6Obviously needed to add a QB at this turn and ALMOST was able to grab Romo here. Rene grabbed him 2 picks prior and ruined my day. I like Cutler fine, but he shares a bye with Marshall so I looked down the list and the next guy shares a bye with my RB1 . The drop to the next set of guys was too big a dropoff just to avoid a bye week issue. At least it's fairly early on in the bye week gauntlet.5.01 Antonio Brown WR PIT 4WR and maybe RB was definitely the pick here. Being afraid of what would be available in 30 picks at WR plus my relatively weak WR1 pointed me in that direction. I was hoping Harvin would make it here but I'm very happy with Brown.1.1 Arian Foater RB HOU 8Pretty much a no brainer2.16 Brandon Marshall WR CHI 6One of the last guys I'd want as my #1. I'm optimistic he can Approach those 100 catch seasons he had with Cutler the last time they were together.3.01 Jermichael Finley TE GBP 10Maybe a slight reach but that's what you have to do sometimes picking at the ends. Finley was a bit underwhelming last season, but I see a huge dropoff between him and the next tier.
sorry about that....had 2 snipped from me as well..... wells, ingramThe only thing worse than Duke sniping CJ Spiller from me was the PM ahead of time so that I had to type it in myself. My short list was destroyed with the previous 3 picks.
Hopefully Tebow will still be around to be your QB.funny how the timing affects certain spots/positionsQB - TBARB - Rice (8), Redman (4), McGahee (7)WR - A.J. Green (8), V. Cruz (11), D. Thomas (7)TE - Gonzo (7)other than the bye week issues I like the players
Nice job scooping up the value. Calvin, Nicks, and Charles were all first round talent last year. Even with this year's preception it looks like you got a 1st (CJ), 3 2nds (Charles, VD, Nicks) and 2 3rd/4th turn picks (Ben/DW).Roeth 4Charles 7 DWill 6Calvin 5 Nicks 11Daniels 8
It's been a very nice draft, but I don't see Owen Daniels as a 2nd rounder.Nice job scooping up the value. Calvin, Nicks, and Charles were all first round talent last year.

Would love if I could get Davis instead of Daniels but I'll take what I have.Adding Holmes makes for a pretty strong core, with none of my top 7 having the same bye week. I thought Nicks and DWill were good value for where I got them, rest were about right for how the draft has fallen.Fill some holes, get some depth, should be a fairly strong team.opps...read daniels as davis.'Nugget said:It's been a very nice draft, but I don't see Owen Daniels as a 2nd rounder.'BassNBrew said:Nice job scooping up the value.

I think the 8th round is the magic QB run round - post draft there is normally a little less uncertainty and people don't panic quite as much. The WR run has been interesting as everyone continues to fill out their starting lineup.Apparently I have vastly overestimated the QB2 run happening here that took place in the 6th and 7th in both the WSLs and PDSLs...
The lack of a QB run earlier suprised me also. It sucked to see all the WRs flying off the board, but all I could do was follow suit or be left with worse than what I have at the position already. Based on my WR2 & WR3, I expect to have the worst WR group in the league.'Nugget said:I think the 8th round is the magic QB run round - post draft there is normally a little less uncertainty and people don't panic quite as much.
