| I've heard that this guy is supposed to be a sleeper this year. So is his great grandpa, Koren Robinson. I don't believe it though. Any time you're Jim Miller's third or lower option, you get no drafting consideration from me. Why not Qadry Ismail, Peyton Manning's third or lower option? Or Joey Galloway...a possible second option for Quincy Car....never mind. Carter's bad. Maybe Az Zahir-Hakim This is one of those guys whose ranking I inflated so he'd jump out at me. I think he could end up starting by the end of the season, but he's really gonna take some patience. I would probably rather have Either Duckett or Foster, Foster more. He's got a good shot at starting right away, and at least Duckett could split goal line duties. Portis is a bigger reward/risk guy. Either he'll start later or he won't. Good pick A nice pick from roony-poop. A slightly different drafting strategy than his Class of '94 aspirations. Why not Raghib? He was around. Right now Tyrone Willingham is doing this staged meeting in his office. I'm watching it from the TV that doesn't have sound, so I can't hear what's being said, but I bet it was really funny. I liked the thought of having both Keyshawn and McCardell on my team. I'm not totally convinced that Keyshawn is the #1 receiver. If not, I'm covering my bases. Right after I made this pick, I realized that I'd need to draft two receivers for my bench, for whenever Tampa Bay had a bye week. We have 4 bench spots, and I had wanted to draft 2 backup QBs. No backup RB for me, I guess Holy Cow! Clemson and Georgia Tech just exchanged back to back 70+ yard runs! I love rainy games! Anyway, has anyone noticed that this is is third Giant in a row? I always wonder sometimes if the autodraft tries to put in a small random bias like this. For someone, it might prefer tight ends, for someone else, Giants, for a third guy, maybe guys who played college in Florida. That'd be neat. These last two picks are OK. They seem like small reaches, because my rankings are based on a one QB league. These guys wouldn't be drafted until much later, once the entire starting teams were assembled, and probably some bench guys and rookie picks. Anyway, the first NFL rumor I'd heard this year was that Tim Couch had gotten stronger in the off-season. Where that plays in, I don't know. God bless you, ESPN rankings, pulling Stefan a decent pick out of the deep end of the receiver pool. Nice pick. They just showed a picture of Kelley Rhino, the LB for Georgia Tech. Is Kelley a girl? It hadn't occured to me, but he/she just may be. How did I not know that there was a girl playing linebacker in the ACC? Trust me, you'd know what I was talking about if you had seen this picture. Might've been lipstick. Here ya go, Tommy Boy. Your chance to prove that you're not the biggest draft bust this side of Ryan Leaf. He got drafted pretty high, from Virginia. I'm sure he accumulated over 600 yards against Maryland, per appearance. He has the O-Line to help. He'd better do something this year. Right about here, the power goes out in both Stefan's and my room. We follow this with wind sprints to the breaker. Ah, we knew the circus bear had to be getting drafted soon. Can't you picture Alstott riding around on a unicycle or something? Anway, I'm not sure how much I like Alstott this year. I think the running game will be less emphasized, and Pittman will have more capabilities than Warrick Dunn on goal line situations. I would definitely prefer Garrison Hearst, Kevan Barlow, and Michael Pittman. Narrowly escapes the loser bucket. He's one of the highest receivers I have left, and I don't know why. I don't really know anything about him. Other people just ranked him around here, and rather than learn something about all these kind of guys, I just followed averages of their rankings. Oy. I think we could finish off 5th in the ACC, maybe even 6th, if we're not careful. If I had to predict, I'd say fourth, behind FSU, NC State, and one of Clemson, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina. Phil and I were just talking about him being overrated. I'd say he's the fourth option, behind Henry, Moulds, and the tight end. It doesn't matter who the tight end is, on a Drew Bledsoe team. He's gonna be the third option, most likely. Sometimes I hate regional programming...GT-Clemson over Ohio State-Wash State? Oy! Nice. This is where tight ends are supposed to go. I wouldn't have taken this one, but it doesn't matter. He's a tight end. There is basically no difference between the 4th TE and the 7th TE in the rankings. This is the first TE taken since Pollard in the 5th round. I'm sorry that I keep interjecting my NCAA thoughts. No I'm not. College football is great. Clemson's cheerleaders are hotter than ours. I think I might try to copy CFN and do some stream of conciousness reviews on games that they don't cover. They seem fun, even though I don't know one quarter of the football that they know. Phil- let me know. I know you might not be able to do it, since you watch a bunch at once, but maybe a stream of consciousness through a few different games would be cool. Anyway, good pick. Winners: Everyone except for Ade Losers: Ade It's harder to make it into the loser-bin at this point, because it's hard to know very much about these players, and even if you do know, they're not too much worse than the best available any more. |
