[Pontus]

Sean Taylor, DB

uhm yeah, I missed Rick's post so...whoops.

[Rick52]

I was actually referring to Jason Taylor. Confusion++

[James89]

I was debating between Brooks and Taylor and another stud DE. Hopefully he lasts until my next pick. Yue is up.

[Scruffy]

Umm... Imma stick with my hometown boys and take Bob Sanders, Secondary (FS), Colts.

[James89]

Alright, it is smashbro's pick.

And you can just call all secondary players DBs.

[smashbro14]

I'll pick... Shawne Merriman, LB, Chargers.

I almost snagged one of my favorite Redskins, Marcus Washington...

Tom is up.

[James89]

smash, do you want to shorten the time after this round?

[smashbro14]

Sure, why not. How about we shorten it to... 18 hours?

And what times are you available over the next two weeks for one of those huge draft parties? You can PM me some times or just post them here. Whatever.

[James89]

I was thinking 12 hours. And on the 17th (thursday) I have to get my schedule for my LAST year of high school. Yea im pretty nervous. Plus they are going inside training camp with the niners on tuesday. (cant wait :D) But yea, unless something unexpected comes up, im free whenever.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Going for some sleeper picks.

10th round pick: Steve McNair (QB)

11th round pick: Keyshawn Johnson (WR)

[smashbro14]

Alright I've been thinking about this pick since Wednesday, and I'm going to pick a guy I wasn't even considering until Alex Smith played pretty well. I'm not picking McCardell because of his age, and not Muhammad because of Grossman's health, so...

I'm picking Antonio Bryant, WR, 49ers.

Lets change it to 12 hours later on in the draft, like around the 16th or 18th round. That could be a little too short for right now. If somebody picks at midnight, that means that the next person's time is up at noon. I know a lot of people sleep throughout that time, so lets just make it 18 hours for now.

[James89]

Yea that sounds fair smashbro. And hooray for smashbro for taking a chance on Alex Smith. Lets just hope that Smith isnt teasing all of us. That would suck for both of us, but for me more.

Wow Tom those picks were awful. There are plenty of other Recievers who are better than Keyshawn and McNair will only start once unless Brady gets injured. Anyways here is the recap of round 10.

Big Da- d’oh! – The Troopers- Donnie Edwards, LB, San Diego
Freakish – Deja Entendu- Osi Umenyiora, DL, New York Giants
Gabby Jay – The Hard Hittaz- Derrick Burgess, DL, Oakland
XzKronos – Wildboyz- Roy Williams, DB, Cowboys
Dr. Doom – Doom- Jason Taylor, DL, Miami
sUpEr SoNiC_80 – The Purple $corpions- A.J. Hawk, LB, Green Bay
James89 – Sexy Mother F’ers- Derrick Brooks, LB, Tampon Bay
Velocity – The Velociraptors- Robert Mathis, DL, Indianapolis
Pontus - The Sea Gods- Sean Taylor, DB, Trashington
Yue – Hot Dice- Bob Sanders, DB, Indianapolis
Smashbro14 – The Smashbr-Owners- Shawn Merriman, LB, San Diego
The Eye in the Sky! – The Laughing Mules- Steve McNair, QB, Baltimore

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I find my picks to be decent for the 10th and 11th round. McNair is an injury-free season away from being a top QB while Keyshawn will get have more catches and touchdowns than people think he will.

I don't agree with alot of these picks, but like other people, I went out on a limb to pick someone. I don't appreciate being insulted for them. Who is anyone to say how the season is going to play out just from statistics in past seasons?

[James89]

Im sorry, I dont know why I choose to speak out at yours, as I too disagree with some picks people have made. Ill just leave it at that, unless you want me to go into depth as to why I think those picks sucked.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

No, I'm good. I like my picks and stand by them. This is the first time I've ever done a fantasy draft, so I'm not too concerned about how well I do.

[XZ]

Whaat..?
If you mean Boller, Mcnair's already gotten the nod for the job.

Hmm..its true though, Criticism isn't really required...meh.
The Mcnair pick,you're right about.Keyshawn...no idea.

Edit: Tom, for you're first fantasy draft ever? I would say, pretty damn good. But..the Pats affected you ;)

Edit: Wait....
Brady..in his team..nevermind.

[Dr. Doom]

Pontus, did you ever get my PM?

[Rick52]

Whoever drafted Clinton Portis is probably holding their breath (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AlRUwO99OIKdsiHklCHBNItDubYF?slug=ap-redskins-portishurt&prov=ap&type=lgns) right now...

[Scruffy]

Lemme get Demarcus Ware, DL, Cowboys

He's my starting RB here, AND in an espn league.
:(
I feel the pain of the redskins fans..(well mostly Smashbro)

[Pontus]

Pontus, did you ever get my PM?
Yes I did. And the answer is no, he isn't worth it.

My pick. Terrel Suggs, LB, Ravens.

[Dr. Doom]

Michael Strahan for trade anyone?

also, there is a mistake on my roster... Darren Sharper plays for Minnesota, not Atlanta...

[Velocity]

I'll consider it, Doom. :P

My pick now! Deltha O'Neal, DB, Cincinnati Bengals.

[James89]

Yue, im pretty sure Ware is a LB.

Ill take Patrick Kerney, DL, Atlanta.

[Scruffy]

Yue, im pretty sure Ware is a LB.

Ill take Patrick Kerney, DL, Atlanta.

I thought he played LB in college but switched to end in Parcells scheme... I'll check real quick.

Guess you were right ^_^... maybe it was the other way around.

[Dr. Doom]

well, I believe the 18 hours have passed for sonic so I will make my pick...

Byron Leftwich, QB, Jacksonville

why does it say 9:40 on the website when I posted, but it's 10:57 on my clock when I posted?

[smashbro14]

The GW clock has always been screwed up. That's why I like to say how long a person has before their time is up.

[Dr. Doom]

hmm, well, I only posted 35 mins. before the actual time was up, plus he still hasn't shown up so no harm no foul...

[XZ]

Now, its like i have no clue who to pick..so..
Bubba Franks (TE) GB.

[sUpEr SoNiC_80]

DeAngelo Hall (DB) Atlanta

[Gabby Jay]

I'll take a Gamble with Chris Gamble (DB, CAR)[/pun]


How about Philip River's debut?

[Freakish]

Antonio Pierce LB, NYG

[James89]

I'll take a Gamble with Chris Gamble (DB, CAR)[/pun]


How about Philip River's debut?

Not as impressive as Alex Smith's. 16/21, 137 yards against the Bears D. YAY!!!

Wel Big Da- d’oh! i tried to send you a pm but you "were not found", so you are up.

[smashbro14]

Alright, I just realized a big problem. Tom left either this morning ot last night for Virginia Beach, and he'll be gone for a couple weeks. I'm guessing he just... forgot to make a list, considering that he told me himself that he would be making one for his vacation. I might just pick for him, because it's not like he's going to be missing picks because of lack of interest, and he did tell me about the vacation. I'm too nice to simply watch him get kicked out because of this, because unless we get about 1 pick per day during hs absence, he's going to be extremely late. If we don't do a big draft night (we need to make a name for this) then he might only miss just the two picks, but he'll probably miss four. So yeah, I'll probably just pick for him unless you guys have huge problems with this. And I'll pick what he would have picked, which basically means he'll probably have another Patriot or two when he returns.

[James89]

I like the name of "Big Draft Night". But not as much as I liked "PICK A TEAM NAME ALREADY!" Stupid Pontus. lol jk

Speaking of Big Draft Night, we are going to do another one. I will be available for this one. Me and smash were thinking either this sunday or monday, with 3-7 pacific the preferred time. Everyone ok with this?

[Pontus]

You know what, go ahead and change it to PICK A TEAM NAME ALREADY! for sh!ts and giggles. Hmm... Sunday/Monday should work nicely for me.

[Gabby Jay]

Yeah, its lookin like for me either one would work. I'll post if somethin comes up on one of the days though, but right now its lookin good.

School starts for me tomorrow...I'm gonna be a Junior. Finally and upperclassman.

[James89]

Pontus, you are a cool guy. Alright, so we have got Me, smash, Gabby, and Pontus down for either sunday or monday. I think we need about 3 more people to show up, since we will be picking Eye in the Sky (aka Tom). That would make 8 people here, and 4 people on "auto pilot".

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'm still here! I leave in a few days. I was in Boston all day. I'm going to basically send you a list when that time comes of my preferences.

agreed, I'm sure he wont mind you picking for him.. better than missing them at least.

Sunday works better for me for the 'big draft day', I will most likely be out of town on Monday.

edit: nevermind lol

[BigDaddy]

Monday is best for me. I will have my next picks tomorrow.

[James89]

Big Da- d’oh!, your time is up. Freakish can go ahead and pick.

[XZ]

XZ is in for that big draft...

[smashbro14]

I'm still here! I leave in a few days. I was in Boston all day. I'm going to basically send you a list when that time comes of my preferences.
Wtf. Dean confused me... well that solves that.

We'll probably do it Monday, not Sunday, unless a few more people are better off Sunday.

[BigDaddy]

With the final pick of the 11th round, The Troopers select Mike Brown (DB), CHI.

With the first pick of the 12th round, The Troopers select Kawika Mitchell (LB), KC.

[James89]

Suggs is a DE, not a LB anymore. We still need to hear from Freakish, Sonic, Velocity, and Yue.

[Freakish]

Monday is better for me, I have to register for school so no work

Derrick Johson, LB, KC

[Scruffy]

Could u guys do what u did last time and pick for me... I'm not sure what my schedule will look like.

[James89]

So it looks like Monday will be the day. Sonic and Velo if you cant make it could you please send in lists. What time monday is good for everyone? Me and smash were thinking anywhere between 3-7 pacific.

[Gabby Jay]

Adewale Ogunleye (DL, CHI)

[Pontus]

Suggs is a DE, not a LB anymore. We still need to hear from Freakish, Sonic, Velocity, and Yue.

Are you kidding me?

[Pontus]

Suggs is a DE, not a LB anymore. We still need to hear from Freakish, Sonic, Velocity, and Yue.

Are you kidding me? (About Suggs)

[smashbro14]

Could u guys do what u did last time and pick for me... I'm not sure what my schedule will look like.
Sure, just post a list similar to the one you created two weeks ago, or make a detailed one.

So Monday's looking good so far. That's 8 yes's, a "probably not," and a no. :)

[Pontus]

Sorry for the double post, it was a server messup.

[Velocity]

And as for me... I'm not completely sure. Who knows what my orientation schedule will be. :link:

But right now we'll put it at a maybe.

[James89]

No im not kidding. Im pretty sure Suggs is a DE.

XZ's time is up, its Doom's turn to pick.

[Dr. Doom]

Andra Davis, LB, Cleveland

[XZ]

Hm..oops?
Brian Dawkins (DB) Eagles.
OOOh..i feel the burn.

[smashbro14]

I wanted Dawkins you fiend!

At 6:30 A.M. EST, Sonic's time ends. James is next and he's not getting up at 6:30 on account of living on the west coast, so I'm not planning on seeing many picks tomorrow. :(

Sonic, come on that's three picks in a row... three more and you're out.

James told me to pick this guy for him because the draft has slowed down...

James89 picks Michael Lewis, DB, Eagles

Velo is up.

[James89]

After seeing Terrell Suggs not put is hand down once in the game agaisnt the Eagles, I had to check the depth charts of the Ravens. They have him listed as a DE. Just had to make sure of that.

[Velocity]

I'm gonna go with Matt Jones, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars.

[Pontus]

Lavar Arrington, LB.

[Scruffy]

imma take Mike Vick ^_^, QB, Atlanta

seriously.

[smashbro14]

smashbro14 selects John Lynch, DB, Broncos

The Eye in the Sky! selects Richard Seymour, DL, Patriots

The Eye in the Sky! selects Antoine Winfield, DB, Vikings

smashbro14 selects Aaron Schobel, DL, Bills

Yue is up again.

Okay, technically Sonic should be kicked out right now, but because we had these 4 picks in a row, because it's this late in the draft, and because James convinced me otherwise, we will give him a little more time. If Sonic does not pick by the time his next pick time ends, he's out. He's lucky he has James to help him out because I do not think that James and I should have to PM him for most of his picks, and that he should check this thread once a day on his own. Sorry... this is just REALLY pissing me off...

After reading that last part over again, I feel the need to say "no offense" to Sonic :).

[Velocity]

I have a question, though. What happens if/when someone is kicked out now? Do the players just go back into the pool?

[smashbro14]

No, we have a replacement who takes over the team. Zackman is that guy. He PM'd me shortly before the first Big Draft Night asking if it was too late, and I said yes, but he could top the "waiting list."

And if we did just send all the players into the pool, it would severely screw up the schedule that took me like 2 weeks to create :P.

[James89]

Round 12 Recap.

The Eye in the Sky! – The Laughing Mules- Richard Seymour, DL, New England
Smashbro14 – The Smashbr-Owners- John Lynch, DB, Denver
Yue – Hot Dice- Micheal Vick, QB, Atlanta
Pontus - PICK A TEAM NAME ALREADY- Lavar Arrington, LB, New York Giants
Velocity – The Velociraptors- Matt Jones, WR, Jacksonville

Big Da- d’oh! – The Troopers- Kawika Mitchell, LB, Kansas City

C'mon sonic, I dont want to have to kick you out. Just make your picks.

EDIT: Yue, are you gonna show up for the big draft night?

Also, that list is in reverse order.

[sUpEr SoNiC_80]

Sorry.. I have been really busy with things lately in real life.. if you need to know what it is you can contact me by PM.. but sorry I am slowing the draft down.. I will take Kelen(sp?) Winslow, TE, Cincinnati

[Scruffy]

Well, I'm really hoping there isn't any problems off the field with this next pick.

Donnie Edwards, LB, San Diego

[James89]

Its alright sonic. Real life>GW I understand that. I dont need to know. Just make sure you dont miss another pick, otherwise we will have to boot you. :(

And btw, Winslow plays for Cleveland, not Cincinnati. :D

[sUpEr SoNiC_80]

:chuckle: I meant to say Cleveland too.. came out way wrong though.

[James89]

We are half way through people! We should get this thing done well before September 7.

[smashbro14]

Yue, Edwards was already picked. Sorry, you have to get someone else.

And actually... Sonic will only get booted if he misses TWO more picks, but still don't miss any. :D

And yeah, so are Sonic and Yue going to be at the Big Draft Night on Monday?

[James89]

Yue pmed me saying he cant make it. Sonic im not sure about.

So Yue either make a list or a "position list" before monday.

[Dr. Doom]

so who's turn is it, because someone's turn has to be up by now...

[Rick52]

Yue had to pick again because he tried to pick the already taken Donnie "Banana" Edwards. So, it's either him, more likely Pontus, or maybe even Velocity right now.

[smashbro14]

Yue's time ended, so Pontus is now up. Yue is still yet to pick.

[Pontus]

Rod Woodson, DB

[Velocity]

I'll take Charles Tillman, DB, Chicago Bears.

[XZ]

Rod Woodson, DB
He Retired in 2004....

[Pontus]

lol, he did? Whoops. Did Fred Smoot, DB, happen to retire too?

[James89]

Wow Pontus are you serious? Who did you think he played for?

And Smoot didnt retire, he was just owned by Steve Smith.

[Scruffy]

Instead of Edwards I'll take Micheal Lewis, LB, Eagles

[Rick52]

Unless there's two of them, he was already taken as a DB.

*goes to check*

Edit: There are two: the DB for Philly, and a WR for the Saints? So yeah, you gotta try again.

[James89]

Yue you are killing me. It doesnt take that long to look over the list of players taken.

And Velo has until sunday at about 11:00 am to make his pick.

EDIT: That would be Pacific time.

[Rick52]

To be fair, he thought Lewis was a LB, and he was listed as a DB. He probably checked the list of LB's to see his name not there.

Also, Velocity already has picked. It's actually your pick, James, and you've got about 7 hours left to make it. :-\

Edit: Are you guys using a website for help determining which position some of those defensive guys play? If so, which one? I'm guessing some sites have guys listed at different positions than other sites. I'm using Yahoo as my reference site, for the record.

[Pontus]

Okay I just found out that I have to go to an awards ceremony so I won't be on til 7:30-8 EST. Depending on when we start, Matt, can you just pick me an RB and an LB? Thanks.

[James89]

O damn I didnt even see his post. I used NFL.com to check Suggs' position.

Now I have 3 LBs who can start at any given time.

Ill take Dan Morgan, LB, Carolina.
