15.6 Steve Smith WR STL

Chief Rum · 08-27-2012, 09:12 PM

Someone remind me how many roster spots we have.

I have 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 W/T, 1 W/R/T, 1 K and 1 DEF. So that's 12 starters, and I think I recall 5 bench spots. So that would be 17 total, right?

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 09:22 PM

2K, 2D for a total of 19, but otherwise correct (also on the first page in post 3 if work blocks Yahoo Football)

Scoobz0202 · 08-28-2012, 12:19 AM

Hey Julio, Butter took him earlier this round.

Julio Riddols · 08-28-2012, 07:56 AM

Fixed. I must have overlooked that pick.

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 09:19 AM

Yahoo and thread updated thru 15.8

I'm going to treat Julio Riddols's pick like it was made at 8:56am ET (the most recent post). I have PM'd TRO and he has until 10:56 ET to make a pick- or about 45 minutes

SI

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 09:22 AM

Also, I'm curious on the Mike Nugent rationale. I have 5 or 6 kickers off the top of my head that I'd look at before even making it that far down the list (although I suppose "kickers are a crapshoot" is a very reasonable rationale).

16.3 Owen Daniels, TE, HOU

Julio Riddols · 08-28-2012, 12:11 PM

The reasoning behind Nugent is that Cinci moves the ball well but they have trouble in the red zone. I expect him to be kicking a lot this year.

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 12:13 PM

Well, crap- so much for me enforcing 2 hours. I got distracted with lunch and reading another thread. It'll happen one of these days

16.6 Robbie Gould, K CHI

Danny · 08-28-2012, 02:59 PM

16.7 TE Dustin Keller, NYJ

So one of Keller and Witten has to play week 1 right?

Scoobz0202 · 08-28-2012, 03:01 PM

I was wanting to take Keller but god damn that offense has looked terrible. (preseason I know..)

Danny · 08-28-2012, 03:05 PM

Yeah they have, but he might actually be their best weapon and offensive player.

You couldn't pay me to take a Jets offensive player. Really.

SI

Butter · 08-28-2012, 08:02 PM

So... sorry, will have my next pick up in a bit. Having some major life issues which I won't go into now... but I just wasn't able to be on for the last few hours.

Sorry again, thanks for your patience. Question: can I retract the autopick made for me and make 2 picks, or not? If not that's fine, I can just add/drop later.

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 08:08 PM

I guess since it hasn't been that many picks.

SI

Danny · 08-28-2012, 08:09 PM

I get an autopick and I JACQUIZZ IN MY PANTS

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 08:10 PM

I'd rather we have teams we want, if possible. It keeps interest up and we're later on in the draft so I don't think it's as critical

SI

Chief Rum · 08-28-2012, 08:16 PM

Well, regardless of whether Butter picks once or twice, let's get er dun, cuz we're all here thru the 5th pick of this round (at least).

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 08:19 PM

Yeah, let's keep this moving

SI

Butter · 08-28-2012, 08:48 PM

17.4 Giants D

sterlingice · 08-28-2012, 09:04 PM

I wanted Bryant or Henery more than Bironas but they'd be player #7 with week 7 bye week on my team. We only have 5 bench spots... /sigh/

Let's keep this moving this morning. First pick is due at 10am ET. I'll be at a meeting so I won't be able to check until at least 11 but I'm about 12 picks from my side of the draft so if I have to worry about picking, it will be a good thing.

Picks Coming up
7. Housewives on Acid - Subby, 4
8. Tasty Punts Too - Julio Riddols, 10
9. Royal Apes - TRO, 1
10. Eleven Masked Men - Masked, 7

sterlingice · 08-29-2012, 10:11 AM

Yahoo and thread updated thru 17.8

FYI: At first, I could not find Hauschka. Just a reminder: if a player is not in Yahoo, he can't be drafted. It's not usually an issue for football but in baseball there are some hot rookies that don't always make it in. Then I realized I was just misspelling his name and added it but I felt this was a good chance to bring up that rule.
