I had several other trade offers that I was considering and I actually was considering your offer before you took it down. Patience is a virtue.

So is MFL down now....or is it just me? I'm getting an "internal error".

It was, but it's back now.

Aero, I sent you an offer on MFL...

Yeah seems to be going in and out.

Too late on the offer...he picked.

Saw the offer. I had one guy left on my list which was Smith. It was tempting but i wanted him pretty bad.

I'll attribute this to "think long, think wrong."

Duke Johnson wasn't my target.
What can i say, its my south american charm that helps me during these tough negotiations.

Really happy to get Duke, while the minor niggle sucks the other Browns RBs looked pretty ordinary last night. He should get plenty of touches, particularly in the passing game

I must be immune to that South American $hit.

And to be fair, the starting OL only played like one series last night.

I dunno, I'm pretty happy with our last trade that scored me Lamar Miller ;)

I like Duke and I like him even more in this format

Eh...maybe I gave up on Miller too soon, but lets not act like he's Adrian Peterson. He didn't crack 1000 yards in his first 2 seasons combined, and he scored 3 TDs. So right now he's one of those "only one good year" guys.

And while right now it looks like I make a mistake giving up so much to get Watkins, that could change.

But it's always a good time negotiating with you.

And for the record, I'm a big fan of Duke...was hoping he'd slide a few more spots cuz I had a move in the works.

Just watching 1 or 2 highlights from preseason so far. That Abudallah run was sick and the exact kind of thing I expect from him often.

Damn you MB.

Almost took Dorsett at 1.11, so happy to get him at 2.04, even if it cost three 2nds.

Not the players I would have targeted in May, but White, Coleman, and Dorsett have a lot of upside...and speed. Coleman is the "slowest" of my three picks...
