Antsports FBG Mock - Let's Finish This Work Week (1 Viewer)

[Andy Dufresne]

Are the bye weeks listed on Antsports correct? If this were a real draft, I might be hurting week 8....4 of my first 5 picks have byes.

I'm not sure if the byes are right.As far as being hurting-No. This is a good thing. Get it done in one week. Do you really want 5 starters out 5 different weeks? Bite the bullet, take the loss and move on.

 

[tombonneau]

Gotta pass, tombonneau, I want to lock up RB3 here.

D'oh. Oh well. This is where I really wish Griswold and I could have made that trade. Just gotta keep my fingers crossed.....

 

[Andy Dufresne]

OK. This is where I get antsy. If you're not going to be at your computer during the day- P-R-E-D-R-A-F-T! (And if you're not, why'd you sign up for this mock?).Dang, let's go!

 

[Thurmal34]

Indeed.

 

[Clark Griswold]

Sorry about the delay guys, won't happen again. I had a meeting in my office and couldn't get to my computer for an hour.

 

[tombonneau]

Ok, Minny is up. Duckett is NOT what i wanted to do here, but I want to get myself a bye week filler RB3 now, bc I'm not sure he would last and i really didn't see any other viable candidate getting back over to me.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I didn't want to take Troy Brown with the 6th pick as I already had Antowain Smith. But when he was there at the turn, I couldn't resist. Yeah the yards and tds were down last year, but he had 97 catches. The yards and tds will be up this year.Now, about those rbs.....

 

[After the Rain]

Troy Brown is the kind of solid, boring pick that guys will often thank themselves about later. Good pick IMO.

 

[EastBayFunk]

I like the Conway pick. He's a solid player and should be Pennington's go-to guy.

 

[Thurmal34]

I was going to grab Conway with 7.7 but last year's injury/age scared me off.

 

[EastBayFunk]

I'm also glad you took Conway because now I'm almost certain that my sleeper of the year will fall into my lap at 7.10.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Why, thank you! Anyway...Hey guys, this almost feels like a real draft! Good job!

 

[Clark Griswold]

Injuries were a concern to me as well, but with Coles gone, I think Conway will get a majority of the looks from Pennington that Coles got last year. In all, I think Conway is a good WR3.

 

[Clark Griswold]

Why, thank you! Anyway...Hey guys, this almost feels like a real draft! Good job!

Except for my 50 minute brain fart!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

All of a sudden this thing screeched to such a sudden halt that my airbag deployed.

 

[EastBayFunk]

HeadBusa$ is up again. He could use more WRs though there aren't any obvious choices at this position. We could also give him a TE.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Dang, I was going to take Quincy! Good sleeper pick.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

HeadBusa$ is up again. He could use more WRs though there aren't any obvious choices at this position. We could also give him a TE.

TE would be a good choice. Chamberlain/Sharpe?

 

[EastBayFunk]

I was thinking Pollard or Franks.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Pollard.

 

[EastBayFunk]

I'll second that. One more?

 

[Clark Griswold]

I wanted to take Pollard, so I'll third the motion since I obviously think it is a good pick.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Gotta go. I'm predrafted!

 

[tombonneau]

Ok, I'll grab Pollard for him.

 

[Clark Griswold]

I would go ahead and draft the next pick as well after 10 minutes.

 

[tombonneau]

He's up again. At this point, best value for him is a backup QB.Drew Bledsoe.No brainer.

 

[Clark Griswold]

I will look at his roster and post suggestions.

 

[Clark Griswold]

Beat me to it. Obviously a faster typer than I.

 

[Thurmal34]

I second that HeadBusa pick.

 

[Thurmal34]

I'll check back around 11:00 pm. I've predrafted thru R12.

 

[EastBayFunk]

Bledsoe is fine with me. Let's keep this going.

 

[blkgolf23]

He's up again. At this point, best value for him is a backup QB.Drew Bledsoe.No brainer.

WR would be a good pick J. Thrash

 

[Clark Griswold]

Bledsoe seems like a fair choice to me.

 

[Clark Griswold]

I like the J Reed pick, he will put up numbers opposite Moulds.

 

[Clark Griswold]

EastBay- I am pulling a late night at work here and I see only you and I are present on this thread. Since our draft has come to a halt, what are your thoughts on the draft so far?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Mr. Commissioner? We need a pick please.

 

[tombonneau]

sorry, there, i'm on the PST. rather than poll for these picks, as i dont' have much time, on my way to work, i'll just make two fair picks.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Thanks for moving things along, but Glenn? Not sure you'll see any drafts where he's drafted at all, much less in the 9th. Oh well, that's what he gets.Good pick with the Eagles though.

 

[blkgolf23]

I like my team so far I just need to fill a few more spots with backups. Ramsey could be in for a big year in his 2nd season and I liked his value at 10.7. I love having Rogers and Moss together to go along with Bruce and Chambers. Now I have to find a few sleeper picks in these last few rounds.

That is a pretty good looking club.For me, I like my team. I have what I feel will be the best player at QB/RB/TE, and a top 5 wr. I have good depth at wr. I'm not too concerned about depth at rb. There's always good waiver wire guys after the season starts and there are a couple guys left that could round this roster out.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I thought we'd get more opinions from the onlookers.

 

[tombonneau]

well, i think glenn is really going to surprise this year. personally, as a pats fan, i hate the guy. but he had his best year under tuna who should motivate him. assuming he can stay (relatively) healthy, i could see glenn working his way into the starting lineup.meanwhile, i was *just* about to grab lamont jordan. thanks a lot, clark.

Galloway is still #1 with Antonio Bryant #2 in Dallas.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I like the Tai Streets pick. I considered him instead of Galloway.

 

[tombonneau]

i know what the depth chart says, but parcells likes his "boys" (or in glenn's case, "girls") and if terry is healthy and motivated, i could see him starting over antonio bryant.meanwhile, as far as the draft, i'm pretty happy with my team. would be a lot more comfortable had i landed jordan but could always trade for him. ideally, i would have jordan/anderson as injury insurance, with duckett as my bye week filler & i'd be all set.at wr, first glance it might look thin, but as i've said, i'm an advocate of starting 2 wrs from a pass happy team, and think that rice/porter will be fine. also, i'm pretty confident in my ability to land a few starters off the ww at wr, which is why i dont' focus much attention on it in the draft.qb i think i have the best pair outside of manning-bledsoe. but that's bc i'm really high on hasselbeck.i do think i have the best te's in shockey-miller, but they're just TEs. i was experimenting with what my team will look like if i go for one of the top tes, and as i suspected it will force me to be thin (on the surface) at wr. but that's also bc i went qb in r3. so for not drafting a wr til the 5th, i think my team looks fairly balanced.right now, assuming faulk is healthy, i think oakland funk has the best team.

 

[Clark Griswold]

T- You got me back by grabbing Streets. Nice pick, I was hoping he would fall to me at 11.08.

 

[tombonneau]

do i smell a trade......

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Tick tock. Where's dogmen? His average pick time is 12 minutes.My only regret so far- not waiting longer to take Lelie.

 

[tombonneau]

dunno. at the 9:00 mark i'll make his pick (15 minutes & counting). i'd say he goes bu qb here.fiedler? plummer?i believe plummer is highest on fbg. second & third?

If it were me choosing between those two, I'd rather have Fiedler than Plummer. Jay looked pretty solid (relatively speaking) until getting hurt. Erratic Jake in a new system would make me nervous.
