All-Time Football Draft: The Picks

[TLK]

Comey's up...... but I have a feeling this little roll we're on, is coming to a quick stop.... he hasn't logged in since the 5th..... hopefully we'll here from him....

[AgPete]

Damn Chubby. You've got Lambert and Lott killing people on your defense and Captain Comeback Staubach and the Sweetness Walter Payton running your offense. Not to mention Lombardi coaching everyone. Nice picks.

[JAG]

If someone has AIM, maybe they can send Comey an IM. Worth a shot. Otherwise in a day or so, TLK takes two.

Thanks! I am very happy with my team so far, still trying to make picks that will benefit the team is becoming increasingly hard but still fun!

[TLK]

We could contract pskov and Comey (giving us an even ten) and keeping this thing moving along.... thoughts, ideas?

[Chubby]

I'd say to just skip them after the 1st pick that the miss, that way when they come back they can make their picks but we still keep moving along.

[Comey]

Well...I'm back. I've had major computer troubles, and had a lot of repairing to do.

I'll get caught back up and make my pick tonight/tomorrow morning.

[Comey]

I'll select Joe Schmidt, LB. He was one of the first real middle linebackers in the game, and was a very good one at that.

[JAG]

TLK is up for 2 as we look to move into the final third of the draft.

[TLK]

Bobby Bell, DE/LB

Raymond Berry, WR

[JAG]

Surprised at how long Raymond Berry lasted, I'm sure he'll appreciate being paired up with Montana.

Hope you didn't get too comfortable Comey, you're up again. Followed by mckerney and Noble Platypus.

Me too. I was going to snag him to pair with Rice if he lasted any further.

With Don Hutson and Earl Campbell with them also, my offense is looking pretty good.....

[JAG]

Surprised...but I didn't want him anyway.

[Comey]

I might as well get my second WR.

Randy Moss, WR

He's worth the pick...I'm kind of surprised he's lasted, given he might be the best deep-ball WR in the game's history (I'm not terribly well-versed on WR, outside of the obvious ones).

[mckerney]

You sone of a bitch...


...off to come up with my 2nd choice for this pick.

[VPI97]

Dammit

[JAG]

Darn...I was considering Moss for later. Good choice.

[mckerney]

TE Dave Casper

[Noble_Platypus]

WR Marvin Harrison.

He will be among the greatest ever when he is finished, and along with Cris Carter and Steve Largent gives Marino a teriffic trio of Wrs to throw to.

[JAG]

Hm, well I've got the 4 choices I'd like to take all still left on the board (actually 5, haven't figure out who to leave out ). The trick is to figure out which order to take them in...

[JAG]

Alright, after a bit of agonizing, I have decided. I feel pretty good about my team overall, so I'm going to take a player I feel has slipped a bit and make my offense more difficult to defend. My seleciton is Tony Dorsett, RB. A speedy RB with receiving ability and a willingness to block, and combined with Marion Motley will make a challenging backfield to defend. 5th in all-time rushing yards, 8th or 9th in all-time combined yards from scrimmage, 1st ballot Hall of Famer, one of the better postseason rushers with 1,386 rushing yards.

VPI97 is on the clock, Chubby and WSUCougar to follow.

[VPI97]

To fit my 3-4 scheme, I'll take Hall of Famer Art Donovan, DT to help stuff the run.

[JAG]

So no one was considering Dorsett? Maybe I could've let him fall a round or two after all...

[Chubby]

I'll pick a guy here who revolutionized his position, I believe he was the 1st at his position to make the Pro Bowl. He won a couple rings with those bastard cowboys, and will fit in nicely with Staubach and Payton...

Darryl Johnston, FB

[WSUCougar]

TE OZZIE NEWSOME

[JAG]

Wow, surprising but nice to see Moose getting some love.

[JAG]

Vince is up, followed by Bearcat729 and BishopMVP for 2.

[Vince]

Sorry guys, I haven't had computer access for the last couple of days. Hopefully I can make my pick this evening. If Bearcat729 wants to pick in the meantime, that's ok with me. I know I won't get to pick until at least about 9 PST tonight.

[WSUCougar]

Jerry Glanville is JUST SITTING THERE, MAN...TAKE HIM!!!

[JAG]

Hey, we've made it this far. We're a patient bunch.

[Bearcat729]

I'll take DB Jack Christiansen

Left safety stalwart on three title teams. . . All-NFL six straight years, 1952-1957. . .Played in five Pro Bowls. . . Formidable defender, return specialist. . . Foes' standard rule: "Don't pass in his area, don't punt to him". . .NFL interception leader, 1953, co-leader in 1957. . . Career marks: 46 steals for 717 yards, three TDs. . .85 punt returns for 1,084 yards, eight TDs.

[VPI97]

bump

[Sun Tzu]

Has anybody picked Todd Marinovich yet?

[JAG]

So, either Vince is up or BishopMVP should pick two. Whichever comes first.

[BishopMVP]

I'll give Vince a couple more hours, then make my picks.

Since we had the slowdown and delay, some people aren't following as closely, so would anyone be opposed to sending a PM to the next person who drafts? That way people don't just forget. I've done it a few times, and I'll send one to Bearcat after I pick.

[JAG]

Good idea Bishop.

[BishopMVP]

I'm going to go current with my next two selections, and select 4-time Pro Bowler (in his first 6 years) and reigning Co-MVP, QB Peyton Manning. The only QB with 5 straight 4000-yard seasons and the only one with 6-straight 25 TD seasons. Then, I'll finish off my defensive backfield with the best one in the game right now, a man who picked off said co-MVP 3 times in the AFC Championship game, a 4-time Pro Bowler who has 35 career INT's and also supports the run well, CB Ty Law.

PM Sent to Bearcat729.

[Bearcat729]

I'll select John Randle DT and his 137.5 career sacks

[JAG]

Hm, didn't even think of Randle. Darn.

Vince has been around but apparently hasn't been making his picks. I sent him a pm although he already is aware he's up for his picks. So I'd say WSUCougar should make his choice now unless Vince wishes to step in for two selections, followed by Chubby and VPI97.

[Noble_Platypus]

Looks like the wheels are falling off of this draft. What we have 3 guys who arent interested in making picks anymore?

[TLK]

by my count....1

[Noble_Platypus]

Pskov and vince, so its at least 2

Darryl Johnston, FB

Just make sure you draft a great line with him. Moose was a badass but the Cowboys had one of the best offensive lines in history too. I'm a firm believer in building both lines and going from there.

[WSUCougar]

I like to have a hammer at safety, so I'm going to select:

S STEVE ATWATER

[Vince]

Go ahead and keep going guys...I haven't had the time to make a researched pick, and I don't want to hold things up. I'll make my two picks sometime tonight, hopefully.

[Vince]

And so I finally start looking for guys, and settle on one...he doesn't seem to be picked by anyone...

And then I realize that bearcat got him only because I allowed him to pick in front of me. My own bad, I guess

1 - CB Darrell Green - Made his debut by running down Tony Dorsett from behind, then went on to play forever. Great cover corner, and will help lock down opposing WRs next to Herb Adderly.

2 - DT Warren Sapp - I really dislike him as a person, but his talent on the field is unquestionable. Plus, I feel that I need another presence next to Merlin Olsen on my defensive line.

Sorry that I fell behind guys...hopefully it won't happen again.

[JAG]

Damn you for taking Green...but an excellent pick.

[JAG]

The order's been a bit confusing recently, but Chubby is on the clock, followed by VPI97 and myself.
