I am fine with time limits during the week and if they miss their time, the next team can go pick. When the skipped team comes back, he can make his pick at any point at that time.

I think giving another hour is fair. We want to keep the pace reasonable but we aren't in a race to finish the draft.

Yeah its a moot point now. Hopefully 8 has a list from Nate for this pick too.

I figured I couldn't wait longer. I almost took him at the last turn. This turn...Asamoah is a mailer in the run game, Allen blocking, Smiths a great run blocker...my right side will be great to run with. Left...Thomas is the best pass blocker but nowhere near that in the run game. I'm not sure how the D will shape up, but I really like this team.

I like this pick. Grubbs is really underrated going this late and I would have really struggled to pass on him with the Browns even though I have another player I'm targetting.

With RBM, Awesome, and Whoosah we could knock out 3 picks quick. Hey 8 if you text HellToupee now we might be able to get all the way through my pick.

Defense really starting to come together with my last pick. DRC was another stud CB prior to joining the Eagles, and had a nice season there last year. He is still really young, and I look for him to round back into form as my #2 CB behind Haden.

#### it. This could be another unpopular pick but what do I care. I've wanted this guy to be my rb since the third round so I'm not going to mess around for a defender I don't care about.
9.7 Bills - Mark Ingram, RB
When the Saints took him I thought it was weird. 2 years later I think it's one of the weirdest 1st rd picks I've seen. He is so not a fit for their offense. I do still believe in his talent. Still believe he can absolutely be a successful feature rb, but he is not such a talent where he would work anywhere. This is the type of back that needs to get carries, get into a rhythm. He is 215 lbs but built like a brick ####house. Adequate speed, good instincts. Hearing Aikman still making the Emmit comparisons when he does his games adds to my confidence. I hope he can get out of NO the first chance he gets. I think he's only 23 so he's got time. Almost reminds me of Lynch when he was struggling in Buffalo. I think my dominant run blockers would help as well.

9.8 Chiefs select Torrey Smith, WR
Smith is a blooming vertical threat who constantly shows improvement in his game. Smith's speed should prevent safeties from cheating up too much to stop the run.

A little surprised he was not taken yet. He might be a bit weak in the run, but is an above average Safety and is only 24.

I agree with 100% of this. He hasn't had a fair shake in New Orleans. You probably could have had him a round or two later, but he fits well with the team you're building.

I don't agree with the pick but agree with the philosophy. It's better to be a round early than a round too late.
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
Completely disagree. There are too many good RBs on the board to take a flier on a guy who managed just 3.9 YPC with limited work and who can't catch.

DRC did not have a nice year last year. He doesn't tackle and his effort ranged from not trying to heartless.

I've noticed some abbreviating in the spreadsheet. If you do, be sure to only abbreviate the first name/first initial. Keep the entire last name so that drafters can search to see if a player was taken.
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
I hope there is NO abbreviating. Unless of course a guy goes by his initials or something (like A.J. Green for example).
RBM

You need to dig into that 3.9, you can't just look at it the same way you would if he were really given a shot, with like a 250+ carry year.

9.11 Cleveland Browns select Troy Polamalu, S
Troy is getting up there in age and he's had some injuries but he came back strong at the end of the season. I believe he can play at a pro-bowl level for at least the next 3-5 years.
Offense
4.22 QB Geno Smith
3.11 HB C.J. Spiller
1.22 WR A.J. Green
2.11 WR Demaryius Thomas

Defense
6.22 S Reshad Jones

Meh, as an Eagles fan who watched them both in every game I can tell you that they just seemed to lack that edge and competitiveness in their play. Both were bad tacklers and very inconsistent. I prefer DRC myself because of his physical tools, but he definitely needs to get his head on straight and needs to the right coaching to be effective. I've been looking at a lot of PFF's stats this off season, but I wonder if they even take matchups and quality of opponents into account otherwise some players will obviously be rated much lower despite being really good players and others might be really overrated which is why I can't trust their system much.He played slightly better than Nnamdi....but that's not saying much.DRC did not have a nice year last year.

If Ingram fits his system then its A decent pick. I've waited on guys, D Allen for one, Thinking he would fall, only to see him be taken. Of close, I've also waited for a guy or group and had one fall (Unger for example) You have to take the best guy who best fits what you are trying to do, or risk him being taken.
Nucker101

I agree as well, so many RB's have looked so good with the Saints, including power RB's just like Ingram.
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
He had more carries than any other Saints RB this season.
FUBAR
Footballguy
I'm one of his biggest fans this aside of Pittsburgh, but you've got an interesting system starting with two safeties.
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
Haha I know it's a bit odd but I just didn't see the value there at any other position. Besides, I think my team will be in a lot of shootouts so having great safety play is required. At least I know teams won't be throwing deep on me.

Still doesnt mean he's being used right.Trent Richardson, who is a more talented player (not by a ton though), went to a team dedicated to using him as a feature back. He got about 270 carries, averaged 3.6 yards a pop, and will probably get even more carries this year barring injury. That's the kind of chance I wish Ingram could've had.
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
Fair enough. I understand your strategy but I think you drafted him too high and there are still some really talented guys out there who would be amazing behind that line.

I think you're just lobbying for a role in Blind Side 2 as the bad guy.

FWIW, according to PFF he actually did worse at RT (at least run blocking).That isn't even close to being true ...dont piss in my Kool Aid.He moved back to RT and did great .Except that he's one of the worst run blockers in the league.
