I very nearly took Amaro. I need him more than I need Manziel, and given his draft position and opportunity he’d be a good value. I just didn’t like his game tape – didn’t play seem to play fast or get open or have great hands for a highly-touted receiving TE, and his combine numbers were nothing special. Plus I guess I don’t trust the Jets at all.

I had all the same emotions. But it’s possible that he’s the TE1 in Week 1 and some people seem to think Geno has turned the corner. Once Rex gets fired it’s possible that a year from now his situation will be much better. His preseason tape sucks, but it’s the preseason…and he was productive at TTU, for whatever that’'s worth.

It’s going to take me a few hours for this pick - got to do a few things then I’m drafting in 45 minutes. Not that there’s much left, but trade offers blah blah.

I was this close to picking Hill instead of Seferian-J., but having two Bengals RBs was a bit limiting in upside terms.

WR pickings are a little slim here. I need another RB like a hole in the head, so I’ll take Brian Hartline (1000 yard, no TD WR, Mia) with 3.06. And I believe that wraps up this draft for me.

**Petey** is on the clock. PM sent.

Like I need another mediocre QB, but I can’t think of anything else.

3.07 Derek Carr, QB, Oak

I guess it’s Omni now, I’ll PM him.

Wow, really did not think this guy would still be here. Almost took him with the 2.12 pick.

3.08 James White, RB, NE

Almost took him at 3.05.

If I didn’t need WR help he would have been the pick.

When I was looking at the pick I somehow missed that you’d drafted Hartline, so I was debating between the two. I could use some help at WR due to the Welker brain-mush thing and Hartline while unexciting will be productive this year for sure. In the end, I need reliable starting RBs if I’m ever going to win this thing so I’ll just have to continue to keep my fingers crossed that I can find a waiver wire WR.

Man, I finally get a pick. Also, note to **Varlos** , I noticed that James Starks isn’t on my roster even though he isn’t on my cut list.

And I draft…

3.09 KaDeem Carey, RB, CHI

**Beef** is up. PM sent.

Ok, I added Starks. [del]Sorry about that.[/del] Hey, wait, it’s not my fault! He actually WAS on your cut list on Yahoo, which is what I went off of when entering everything.

Note that Starks eats up your 4th Rounder, so your draft ends with Carey.

NOTE TO ALL: Since I had to enter the keepers manually this year, it’s never a bad idea to take a pass over [your keepers](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/139016/draftresults?drafttab=team) on Yahoo to make sure everything is entered correctly.

I’m confused. I dropped five players. After the two picks I traded away, aren’t I entitled to three picks?

Yep, my mistake, I forgot about the trades, just assumed you had picks in Rounds 1-3 instead of 3-5. It’s still all set up. (And Starks isn’t eating up your 4th, but rather your 6th.)

Pick coming within an hour. I feel like I should be doing something other than drafting high upside WRs endlessly in the draft, but that’s all I ever do.

White, Robinson, or Moncrief would’ve been my next pick. Hmmmm.
