If Lead as a close call for you maybe I can swap with Wright with a sweetener. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll think about it. Although I think Wright has a fairly high bust potential I worry Pead will never be a primary back.

I’d consider anything but not sure what you have in mind for a sweetener.

I’d say getting his name right once good enough for me. But you’re not.

Is there a particular position you’re looking to swap Pead for?

I need WR. And elite k or def as part of a package.

With the first pick in the second round, **Warner’s Brothers** take Lamar Miller, RB Miami.

**Omniscient** is up next.

Fargin Icehole.

That’ll teach me to declare anyone as a “my guy” during the real draft when I want to pick him up in this fantasy dynasty league.

LOL, sorry, but he was on my short list of players I hoped would be available when I traded away the #1 pick. I really want some RB upside and I think having Miller and Ryan Williams will do that.

Hopefully, Mark Ingram and/or CJ Spiller might amount to something as well.

I was really strongly considering him too. This pick has been killing me, there’s about 5 guys I really want I know none will be back around to me. I guess I’ll go with the “safe” traditional pick.

**Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver**

Yep, I’m “that guy”.

Hamlet selects **Coby Fleener** , TE, Andrew Luck’s back pocket.

And I’ll hope like hell one of my guys make it around once more.

**Ellis Dee** is up. He predrafted last round, so I’ll let the commish (or anyone other than me) make a call.

I considered Fleener but it took a long time for me to get down to 2 TEs.

It was actually pretty obvious I should go WR but they all went before me.

I REALLY wanted Fleener and was _this_ close to grabbing him there. The fact I landed Luck really boosted that desire. I just couldn’t justify passing on a RB with upside for a 3rd year in a row. I’ve got a TE with high upside already in Rudolph and Gonzo and Clark aren’t totally dead yet. I’ve caught a couple breaks at RB but if anyone gets hurt (and they will) I’m in deep shit if I don’t come away with one here.

ETA: Just noticed that **Ellis** listed Luck as a RB. We must be out of practice.

Doh, was hoping LaMichael James would fall to me so I could corner the market on Frank Gore’s replacement.

Ha! That was all you, I just copy and pasted. I did fix the Kendall Wright position, but geez, a man can only do so much proofreading. hehheh.

I was afraid of this when this draft scheme was made.  
I go to bed and you’re on pick 2 when I’m pick 5. I wake up and you’re on me.  
So I have to take time out of work to figure this pick out.

I’ll look at this when I get to work and maybe at lunch.

I think we are making pretty good time. I have no problem when picks fall late like this if someone needs take longer to get them in, especially with work in the morning.

I had some time before work to look at this.  
I decided to go with the homer pick:

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Mia
