Summerpalooza III: FFA Music/Fantasy Football Draft - Congrats League Champ Pip's Invitation (1 Viewer)

I don't see how this could possibly go poorly...

5.03 - Baker Mayfield, CLE, QB

I Summon You - Spoon (from Mayfield's hometown of Austin, Texas)
Oh wow. Reports are he reported to training camp in shape at least this year.

Okay, I've got my pick. Great song, by the way

Remember the weight of the world
It's the song that we used to buy
On cassette and forty-five
Mmmm...but now that little girl


I thought you were going The Hold Steady for sure. I'm going in a different direction for MN/St. Paul

With 5.04, I select Adam Thielen, MN, WR

Song: Prince - I Would Die 4 U

I knew this was what you were thinking with him being the top WR on the board. I need a QB though. 

I think there is a 5% scenario where the Mayfield/OBJ combo + McCaffrey + Hopkins + Ekeler start is unbeatable... but smart money is on the other 95% scenario :lol:

 
Just wrapped up hosting a draft. Not sure I'm a fan of my team but had a great time hanging with the guys  .

Have a #### ton of clean up to do but will be mostly around . I am however very buzzed.

Mr R is doing that right now.  He finished his work league about an hour ago.   It's all football all the time.

 
Yes! We are getting the band back together! (He and Godwin were shattering stuff last year on my team. They're both tweaked right now. Let's hope they heal quickly.)

4.09 - Allen Robinson - WR - Chicago Bears

Song: Kanye West - Homecoming (Chicago is Kanye's place of birth, Robinson's place of play.)
I actually thought about him at the turn, but he's one Foles injury away from getting Trubisky'd. 

 
My QB1 in this league last year.. I don't seem to have learned from that experience :lol:
Baker does this when pressured, or at least he did an awful, awful lot of it last year: Pumps, realizes there's nobody open, starts rolling right. Buys time, rolls right further. Realizes nobody's open, throws ball away high and wide of target to target's left side and out of bounds.

Oof. Get used to watching Chubb pound the rock.  I gather that the old OC from the Vikes is head coach there and he loves to run.

Rockaction took Mayfield in round 1 last year, in case you can't sense the bitterness ;)

:lmao: I sure did. I watched a preseason game where they marched down the field and scored with absolute ease against a first-string defense, and I thought "Them's my boys!"

Stupid preseason. :kicksrock:

He was awesome last year, even with Mitch.

 
Gotta love this draft - tie breaker is going to the player that I can draft a favorite band/song for:

5.xx:  DARREN WALLER - TE (went to Georgia Tech in Atlanta)

SONG:  THE BLACK CROWES - I AIN'T HIDING (Marietta is about 30mi from Atlanta) 

LINK

 Been taking these guys a bit in drafts, so I will try to get something in there that's newer or not on the main two albums that get picked.

Missed out on him in the 2 other drafts I did this year so I had to get him. He's a favorite of mine. He should make a good flex for me this year. 
Yeah, he will be. He's actually as good as billed. I'd be stunned if he didn't have just a WR1 type year barring injury. The really weird thing is he's not rated that highly in the industry, but a guy in my second dynasty league today that rosters him said he was untouchable and meant it. I agreed. Productive trade talk, no end to it. It was about Dobbins and D'Andre Swift plus a guy, and I mentioned Chark and I'd throw in Kyler Murray, and he said Chark? Untouchable -- and that in another salary cap league he'd signed him to a max contract. He said he'd be the next Julio, who I traded for Chark in my other dynasty league. Enough about my teams. He's good. I'm just trying to figure out the disconnect between he and other people who cover this stuff.

I was hoping both he and Minshew would somehow slide and I could stack them (DJ first) in the 6th and 7th.  So, I am a bona-a-fide moron, obviously.
