Alright all, I’m on computer control for the weekend. I have the next 2 rounds predrafted, but y’all can make my picks while I’m gone. No peeking until Rd. 12, though, alright? If someone does take control, you might want to take it off CC. Password’s “cecil7”. And again, don’t forget to reset your passwords by Monday morning so we can set up another one. ---

Munch, give us an idea of the breakdown you want, roster size/position wise. ---

Nice call on Pollard, I’m thinking he’ll see more duty just to keep defenses honest, which might open some lanes for James, who had a lackluster year last year, well, and the year before (well, that wasn’t really his fault) (Yet he still get’s drafted high, everybody is hoping for the 1700 year again) Indiana might just pick up a TE in the draft just for that purpose. ---

> [@](#): > > **WL said:** > I like the Chad Johnson pick but it might have been a tad early… still a few WRs left I’d have ranked above him. You’re probably right. I suppose I’m overestimating the Marvin Lewis influence. However, if I really like a guy, I’m inclined to jump. I never know who else values him the way I do. > [@](#): > > **mrchan said:** > is sharpe gonna play next year? I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that he decided to play one more year. I couldn’t give you a cite, though. ---

Is anyone else scared of Colts players?? They might be the best team in the NFL to never have done squat. ---

No more than 1 K, 1 TE, 1 DEF. Kicker shouldn’t be touched until Round 16. Currently, I have 4 RBs, 4 WRs, 1 Defense. By Round 13 I should have 2 QB, 5 RBs, 5 WRs, 1 DEF and possibly a TE. I’d like to end up with 2 strong\* QBs. If there’s a question on one of them, pick up a 3rd (anyone not named Kordell or Brian Griese). As for RBs and WRs, I’d like 1 more RB than WR, if possible. Actually, I went ahead and pre-drafted for the rest of the draft. If I get stuck, make the next pick I have selected in the next round. If they’re all gone, something’s wrong. ---

Well, it’s not that they don’t do squat, it’s just that they choose not to do squat at different times. Is this the year things gel and they choose against not doing squat? ---

**Nurse:** Spoken like Professor Irwin Corey. They have some guys that make a lot of points, but if ever there was a candidate for implosion… ---

Hurry up **neuroman**. I’m excited about my next pick. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by White Lightning \* > \*\ ***neuroman** you surprised me, I didn’t think you’d take a 2nd QB. I’d have been pretty happy to get Favre this late, I almost took him with both of my previous picks. \*\* Eh, I thought he was too good to leave on the board. Coles was a braindead pick, with Driver still available. ---

Yeah Trung. That was a good pick by me, I’ll be honest with you. ---

WL, Trung was the boom/bust RB I referred to earlier. Could be huge, it’s hard to to tell at this point. What about Ladell Betts? ---

Anyway, I like your pick of Trung, that wasn’t clear with my last post. I just meant that I don’t know how Betts is going to figure into the picture. A couple people gone that I would have taken here…Bruce, MeShawn… So, I hate to do it, because I am so loaded up with Saints players already, but I can not let Donte Stallworth pass me by any further. see the draft board for my thoughts. ---

Anyway, _gasp_ I actually do pretend to have a life outside of FF and the SDMB. I’m heading out for the night so if it makes it back to me tonight, I will check this thread and make my (drunken) pick between 1 and 3 AM. ---

**mouthbreather** , don’t feel any guilt. It’s 12:07 am central time, and I’m fucking drunk. It turns out, I have no life…YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!! ---

I did a little pre-drafting, otherwise the computer will make picks… if we’re going to do another draft, should we start a new thread? ---
