2018 draft discussion

[Multiple Scorgasms]

I'll flip a 3rd next year for an OTC pick if my target remains on board.

[TrueDawg]

I'm interested in acquiring one or possibly two 3rd rounders...

Might be willing to move down/out from 3.02 if my guy goes at 3.01.

Man... holy smokes. Just for fun, I was looking back at some previous drafts. Look at the first round of the 2009 draft from this league... that is a whole lot of SUCK.

Knowshon Moreno
Chris Wells
Michael Crabtree
Donald Brown
Shonn Greene
LeSean McCoy
Jeremy Maclin
Percy Harvin
Hakeem Nicks
Darius Heyward-Bey
Rashad Jennings
Matthew Stafford
Mark Sanchez
Brian Robiskie
James Davis
Kenny Britt

Pretty sure I traded up to take Moreno too

and i bailed you out and gave you a kings ransom for him

If it makes you feel better, I had back-to-back picks (13 & 14), and I took Mark Sanchez and Brian Robiskie. But the reality is, there were only about 5 players taken in that whole draft who were worth a $hit. So it didn't matter who you picked... odds are he sucked. Arian freaking Foster was pick 3.15!!!

That's a solid duo mate!

It really is funny going back over old drafts, it makes me think we really overvalue these draft picks sometimes. Also shows the value of hitting on a stud and benefiting from that contract for years.

Moreno was alright eventually, but never lived up to the hype

I may regret that pick but I badly need RB help and what the hell, its the 3rd round. Wilkins has his flaws, but opportunity knocks in a very unsettled backfield in Indy. He's got size, vision, agility, decent speed, solid hands. He profiles as the closest thing the Colts have to a "workhorse" back. Indy will probably draft a stud RB next year and make that pick a complete waste but...

Both 3.7 and 3.8 are available.

Thanks Tom for not taking John Kelly.... I was kindof nervous after I acquired 3.06.

Kelly is stuck behind Gurley, but he's really good (no idea how he fell to the 6th round)... but McVay is creative so I'm hoping he finds a way to get Kelly some touches. And if Gurley misses time... he'll be gold.

I've tripled-down on RBs in this draft... hopefully it pans out.

Not making my picks tonight. Will sleep on it and see if any offers come in overnight.

I love Kelly as a prospect, I considered taking him in round 2, shocked that he fell this far, great pick

Pfft, what's new

Thanks...I almost took him at 3.03 instead of Wilkins. Kelly is a better prospect but Wilkins has more of an opportunity. Happy to land them both.

As the Mack owner I strongly considered Wilkins but I just don't like the talent

That's what they said about David Johnson and Alvin Kamara. I don't love Wilkins' talent... but I don't love any of the other Colts RBs either. That pick was about opportunity. I picked Wilkins over Kelly cuz I thought there was a greater chance Kelly would still be on the board later.
