I won’t be making a hat mistake again this year. This. I've been burned on him a few times. I'd rather go for an upside young player in a promising situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say someone wont become Elijah Mitchell but the odds are so small. Jones is 25, has been productive enough when given a chance and CEH has not been very good. The odds of him being productive enough to spot start are about 50%. The odds of him taking over CEH and the starting tole in a high powered offense are probably 10%. So I like those odds and the fact that he is still young and in a good situation more than whats left of rookies and second year guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I disagree, but I tend to get player fatigue: if I trust a player, and that player busts, I tend to look elsewhere next time. It's a flaw of mine as it relates to FF, but, eh, it is what it is. I'm good with young dart throws at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions017 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 This part of the draft always makes me wish we had bigger rosters and/or got to keep everyone. It’s a bit disingenuous to call it a dynasty league - more of a super keeper league. There are some developmental type guys that I’d love to draft but it just makes it really hard when you can only keep 12, you know? Unless you’re totally rebuilding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with what has been drafted so far in this draft, the remaining guys are iffy to make the rosters at this point. Most years there are 7-10 rookie darts worth throwing and this year that is smaller IMO, given the draft wasn't overly RB strong. There have already been 13 rookie RBs taken. So I get throwing darts, but sometimes you have to take the odds. I dont think Jones was a huge steal, and I would probably have taken all but maybe 2 of those RBs over Jones. But he has enough upside to be taken at the last pick of the 2nd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sllim Pickens Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Anyone looking to move down with an upcoming pick, I would like to package two 4ths to move into the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 We've hit quite the lull here, haven't we? Hope we get a few picks in before the weekend starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WE-R-Lions Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 After the last pick 3.2 19+ hours have past. After 24 hours have past @winitall can make his 3.4 Pk, @Karnage84 can select his 3.3 player at any point in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WE-R-Lions Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 @Karnage84 indicated he would be out of town & wouldn't have his laptop but would have his phone. I did give him my email so I could make his Pk, but have not heard from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsRock Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 we have 2 hour's before we skip a pick . I've had my popcorn ready for hours to get my pick ready for selection. Now it's stale and have to make some more! I wish some owners could get a clue that no one in this league is going to trade a next years pick to move up a few spots unless they are in love with a certain player or position. So lets get this thing moving!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
