I almost typed his name my last two picks, but then I'd keep getting visions of winter in Buffalo and the "rookie wall". Solid pick overall, just concerned how he'll perform for you late in the year.12.04 James Hardy, Buf, WRPM to Shadow
FYII sent my 12th round pick to Hook, and also to Pasquino just to get him fired up again.
Will you be going for the dreaded third D/ST stratagey?Well are ya?......punk?I'm going to draft a little unconventionally here ...11.02 San Diego "Super" Chargers D/ST

alert. Curious, why did you pass on James Hardy earlier? I saw that you have him ranked fairly high.12.16 Buffalo Bills DST14
13.01 Alex Smith, TB, TE24
I don't think I'm nearly as high on the Bills defense as some people are. They were just a better fit for my team here than the defenses I had above them. their special teams should be elite though so a few extra returns there won't hurt.felt too early for Hardy with my last two picks and I don't have much confidence in Edwards or the Bills passing game this year. my rankings are still in flux so maybe I'll need to adjust him down if I have him too high. I like Gage though and think both Titans WRs are undervalued this year.alert. Curious, why did you pass on James Hardy earlier? I saw that you have him ranked fairly high.12.16 Buffalo Bills DST14

Understand about the rankings in flux. I thought you took a WR rated lower and was curious if it was related to the format of this draft or some other reason.I don't think I'm nearly as high on the Bills defense as some people are.

I want to take a second and thank tex and Old Millwaukee, drafting on each side of me...these guys have sent lists, usually covering 2 rounds, at almost every selection!Ok in order.

Wow, Aaron picking even though the guy before him has to re-pick.Wouldn't have thought you would do this - considering you were the one we held things up for to allow you to re-pick, when you did this rounds earlier.12.16 Buffalo Bills DST14
13.01 Alex Smith, TB, TE24
Where at the crap time that it really doesn't matter. He also went to a different position. I'm glad he turned the corner late at night to keep this rolling as I would like to be done by the holiday weekend.Wow, Aaron picking even though the guy before him has to re-pick.Wouldn't have thought you would do this - considering you were the one we held things up for to allow you to re-pick, when you did this rounds earlier.12.16 Buffalo Bills DST14

Look, I am not mad or pissed or anything like that. I just found it interesting - that's all - given that he was the one to make a pick anyway (instead of allow a re-pick) when he was the one that was given the time to re-pick earlier. That's it.

I understand where you are coming from Adam, but that was your choice to wait earlier. In leagues like this where it is mostly experienced FF players, I say no mercy. Move the draft along. Guys should be paying attention IMO. Not trying to ba a ####, just the way I see it considering the competiton.These are free leagues, and I am here mostly to sharpen my skills against the top notch competition that are in them.Look, I am not mad or pissed or anything like that.

I had to go to sleep and he was going to be up again after the turn. I never asked anyone to wait for me. If I screw up and make a bad pick, it's my own fault and I'll deal with the consequences.Wow, Aaron picking even though the guy before him has to re-pick.Wouldn't have thought you would do this - considering you were the one we held things up for to allow you to re-pick, when you did this rounds earlier.12.16 Buffalo Bills DST14

I appreciate the consideration, but you guys should have just made your picks. I didn't even want Eli since I already had Jacobs and Plaxico on my team. I would have been happy to be forced into taking someone else.If you wanted the Bills defense or Alex Smith, feel free to take one and I'll repick. I certainly don't think either pick is critical to my team's success and there are at least 10 other picks I could have made here and been just as happy with.You've made picks in the middle of the night before so rather than hold up the draft, I figured it was best to get my picks in and keep things moving. If it happened in the middle of the day, it would have made more sense to wait. But, it was late at night, you were going to be up immediately afterwards, and I didn't even draft a player from the same position you initially took. Seemed pretty safe for me to make my pick without stealing a target of yours and keep the draft moving.Atomic Punk said:BTW ... no wprries with Rud pickin. I was a little surprised he picked since joffer and I lost out on Manning and White respectively earlier in the draft, but we need to keep this thing going before the MBSL starts.
I love it!I feel like I got good value with Bulger and Roy.Hear-the-Footsteps said:Hey Jeff, given the above part I bolded - I got one thing to say.It is something I've teased you about a lot in the past - i.e., trying to remove bias.Pimpin Ain said:I understand where you are coming from Adam, but that was your choice to wait earlier.

I know we joke about this, but it is true.
Look at your squad in this FREE league so far - it includes:
Roy Williams
Julius Jones
Marc Bulger
Chris Johnson
Dallas
I'm just shocked you didn't do what it would have taken to land DeAngelo Williams.
I think you know what I am getting at without having to actually connect the dots.
But I do see your other point. But while I see it, I also think you hit on something - this is a free league. So it isn't a huge deal to hold up one second for a guy. Moreover, you'd especially think that when you were the one it was previously held up for - for the exact same reason earlier.
But we don't all have to bash me for this. I understand everyone's points. And in fact, I agree to a large extent. So again, I am not pissed or anything like that. It was more about bringing it to his attention in case he didn't even realize it.
When you guys get through organizing your purses how about making some picks.
Didn't realize I was up til I just randomly checked - since I didn't get a PM.Pick coming very soon.HTF - I have lists from tex and ravnzfanOM sent me a list yesterday, but hopefully will be around today - if not I will see if there is anyone left on his list
Nice pick...wanted to pair him with Toomer.13.04: WR - Steve Smith (NYG)
Will PM next guy.
