Totally willing to do so. You make a great point - I'm simply not a fan of people being jerks because they have internet anonymity. And given the way he's acting, I'm a little hesitant to send a number at this point. Doesn't really feel like the responsible thing to do, you know?ETA: and I'm sorry for messing up the thread with this ####. I won't post about it again. We need to get back to drafting! Also, we need more making fun of picks.I think you both are being childish.Here's the mature thing to do:Instinctive - please send Helltoupee a PM with your number so he can text you when you are up. Then send him a Pm when he is up.Helltoupee - use the number that Instinctive provides you, rather than PMLet's play nice

I guess you'll have to "judge" these teams based on what happens in the NFL going forward but this wouldn't really apply to the teams drafted in this exercise (if it was real).
Hey remember that time someone drafted Joe Flacco with the 6th pick?Too soon? =PTotally willing to do so.

Right - but of course, the way we'll be judging teams (I feel like posters will do so), actual production will definitely play a role for guys like Tate. While I think it'll be obvious to many that Larry Fitz is still amazing, I think some of Tate's progress may get lost in things without production behind it. Does that make sense?
ExaltedOne
Footballguy
Yeah this is why I took him. On a team that would pass more (like mine would with Matt Ryan) and with him still drawing the #2 CB (with Crabtree drawing the #1) he could really flourish. If you extrapolate his 2012 numbers to just say 100 targets instead of 65, at 15.3 YPC he would have 72 catches for 1100 yards and 11 TDs. I know it's not realistic to do that but the point is he could have great production if given a bigger role.
Unfortunately we'll probably never know because Seattle's offense doesn't throw enough and his role will reduce (barring injury).

Yes, and I do agree - but in reality it shouldn't. There's really no realistic way to have it play out though.

When Madden 14 comes out we can put all these players on teams and run a simulated season. That's about the only way I know that could possibly work LOL.

The Ravens just won the superbowl with a worse offensive line and less talent at the skills positions. If an offense like this couldn't take a team deep into the playoffs it'd be, imo, entirely because Stafford can't make it happen.My defense on the other hand is problematic insofar as I now have two SS and a MLB, Laurinitis, who probably wouldn't fit into a 3-4. I like my CB's and my DL.

Run and shoot offense? Love the skill positions, almost think there's too much talent at WR.
Strong OLine although you'll need to coach up your RT, the other 4 are strong enough to work it. If Finley were a better blocker, you'd be set IMO.

Not sure how deep we are going but IRL I'd take a 2nd TE with a higher upside to block. Without naming names there are two that I particularly like. I hate my defense though. It might be effective but the more I look at it the more it's without vision.Run and shoot offense? Love the skill positions, almost think there's too much talent at WR.

I was bored the last hour and decided to do an exercise I'm going to call "the All Value Team".
Here are the rules:
[*]You can only select players that were selected in the following round. For example in round 1 you can only select players taken in round 2 or later. In round 2 you can select players taken in round 3 or later, and so on.
[*]You must select players as if you are an actual team, so don't draft like 6 runningbacks for example.
Here's what I came up with:
Offense:
QB: Matt Shaub (4)
RB: Adrian Peterson (1)
WR: Torrey Smith (8)
WR: Pierre Garcon (9)
TE: Tony Gonzalez (13)
LT: Tyron Smith (3)
LG: Evan Mathis (5)
C: John Sullivan (7)
RG: Rob Sims (11)
RT: Gosder Cherilus (6)
Defeense:
DT: Marcel Dareus (2)
DE: Antonio Smith (14)
ILB: Jon Beason (10)
ILB: DeMeco Ryans (15)
FS: Stevie Brown (12)
SS: Major Wright (16)
Obviously I'm a little biased in that I selected 6 guys that I drafted, but I think this is the makings of a solid team. The offense looks like a ground-and-pound style with the potential to take it over the top with some fast receivers. The defense is built to stop the run but has some solid safeties to prevent the big play.

Your front 7 fits into a 4-3 fine. Dansby can play WLB, he's versatile enough. I don't like that you have two safeties who are best going downhill. Neither is particularly good playing deep safety.

Yeah I'd need another safety. I like what they can do inside the box and in the middle. I think Meriweather has always been incredibly underated. With regard to my Defense in general, I was trying to build around Soliai. He's a monster and I think a top 5 DT. BUT he fits the mold of a NT more. He creates no pressure. I think I'd need a beast at SLB unless Vernon turned into Calais Campbell. Just seems tough to get any pressure on QB with what I have.

But the fact that you don't have a 2nd CB or any OLBs with the slim pickings left at those positions means that this team is not an all-value team at all. At least in year 1, they would get passed all OVER. (Older, slowing FS, only a rookie at CB, no OLBS for pass rush).
