12 hours on a plane'Meecrob said:
. Why India?In one of the first posts, it says there's a 30 minute clock on weekdays from 8am-4pm central - we haven't followed it as much as I thought we would.
FYI looks like an hour time limit (not 1/2 hour, my bad)...
I think an hour is plenty reasonable. Being skipped isn't too bad at this point. I also think four hours on the weekend is reasonable. Maybe even three hours.

7.26 Rams select Jake Locker, QB
Wanted Nnamdi here. Will start my offense with a young QB, performed all right, worst case he tanks and I need to draft a rookie high next year. This defense should allow him the ability to take it slow and just avoid losing games. He won't need to win them.
In other news:
I do not need 4 PMs. I need one text message. I made that clear at the start, and asked the guy to my side if he would do it. He said he would not. PMs are useless, I do not get an email notification for them, and if I'm on this site, I'm checking into the draft anyway.
ETA: and for the record, my pick was in less than 10 minutes after getting a text.
I will need to send somebody a list for my 8.7 pick tomorrow, because I will hit the slopes fairly early. I will make sure to send a list early. Also, I have internet access via phone so a text to me will allow me to hop on the site and pick.

7.32 Bryan Bulaga, LT
8.1 Dwayne Bowe, WR
Bulaga was originally drafted to be the heir to Chad Clifton, the Packer's left tackle at the time. However, due to need, he was inserted in at RT in his rookie year and performed like a rookie. In 2011, Bulaga was an all-pro RT and played as good as any other RT. In 2012, outside of a single game against the Seahawks, he performed at a high level again but his season was cut short by an injury. This offseason, the Packers are thinking about switching Bulaga back to LT due to Marshall Newhouse's performance. I think Bulaga is more proven and has more upside than any other left tackle left in the draft and is a no-brainer for me at this point.
Bowe is the last true #1 receiver on my board that is under the age of 30. I thought about going with another position but ultimately decided Rodgers does need weapons. Picking Bowe provides Rodgers with a true #1 receiver and gives me more flexibility for future picks.
Sorry about taking longer than my estimation. I had a hard time choosing between Bowe and some other players still on the board.

Just for the record, the joke was mostly intended b/c RBM pronounced himself an old soul, and that perhaps that was why he didn't understand these new advanced statsI'm 36. What's a cell?
On cells though, seriously. I'd like a commitment that my clock won't start til I get a text from someone. I don't think thats a lot to ask.AwesomeAuger

Philadelphia eagles 8.03 Eric Winston RT

He was the guy I was thinking about taking over Bowe. At this point, he's really good value.

I was really hoping Winston would fall to the Bengals. I like his zone blocking experience.

Thoughts on picking Bulaga to be my LT? Thoughts on Bowe over Winston?
Skeletore Eh
Footballguy
Ha. I was thinking about bowe, but once he was taken, Winston was an easy choice

Bulaga struggled when put at LT. I think he's a limited athlete and RT is his spot. I wouldn't be thrilled about trusting the safety of Rodgers in his hands. I'd have been more comfortable drafting him and Winston and putting Winston at LT.

According to PFF, Bulaga played LT in only his first two games of his career. PFF graded his two games at LT as +0.9 and +0.1. These were his first two NFL games of his career. His pass block was +1.1 and +0.1 and his run block was +0.6 and 0.0 and he has -0.8 penalty in his first game. I honestly haven't watched those games but nothing about those grades to me suggests he was out of his league. Plus, Bulaga improved as a player and was much better in his second year. I admit this is less than ideal and ideally I could put Bulaga at RT. I was hoping for Vollmer/Roos last turn but missed barely. I was hoping for Cordy Glenn/Gross this turn but missed on them. However, I think Bulaga is still a solid option at LT and can perform at least adequately and maybe even very well.
I almost took Bowe, but opted for Stevie Johnson instead. Do you think Stevie is a WR1? I never really liked Bowe all that much.

8.5 Bruce Carter, LB
Another Cowboy LB. love his upside. Still gives me some flex about 3-4 or 4-3. Ware and Spencer could be DEs or OLBs. Building a good D for Brady.

I know you almost took Bowe, you sent me your queue and your list was Johnson then Bowe.
I see them both as solid WR1s. They are definitely not at the Calvin/Green/Julio/etc. tier but they are definitely in the tier below them. I'd say Bowe is a little bit better but Stevie Johnson is younger. Bowe being better is just my opinion though and I don't watch every game for both players and my judgment is definitely not absolute. Overall, I'd take Bowe over Johnson but would have been happy with either one at 8.1. Both have been stuck on anemic offenses and I think both would benefit being on better teams with better quarterbacks. Rodgers to Bowe and Eli to Stevie should both be potent.AwesomeAuger
