Yep, I see it.

For my own sake I hope you just made a great pick; Benjamin figures to be Cam Newton’s WR1 right out of the gate. (Ugh, do the Panthers have the crappiest receiving corps in the league? Is there any doubt?)

I’m likely not to pick until morning since I’m in trade discussions, and we’ve made good progress today (phew). But we’ll see.

And, of course, feel free to send me trade offers for the 12th pick. A couple of WRs have _really_ fallen further than expected, there’s good value here.

This draft is not as exciting for me as usual.

On the other hand, Cordarelle Patterson 10th overall last year, baby.

And he only needs 500+ more yards and 4 more touchdowns to catch up with the wide receiver I took two picks after the one you’re bragging about.

Oh sweet silly Hamlet. Patterson was off to a slow start but he was the #1 receiver in the last 5 weeks of the year. And his offensive coordinator is Norv “I used Josh Gordon for the entire offense, now I have a new toy” Turner.

Let’s see what those numbers look like this year my feathered friend.

Alright, I’m absolutely gonna sleep through my deadline, so I’ll just pick now and sort it out later:

**1.12 – WR Brandin Cooks, New Orleans**

furt is on the clock.

Before you make that pick!

Two offers that stand until the guy I almost took at 2.1 is off the board.

1. Mike Wallace, straight up

Wallace was the 27th best WR in the league last year, which means he will probably start for you. Firmly entrenched as Tannehill’s top target, and just turned 28 last month, which means he’ll be productive for another 5 years or so.

1. Andre Johnson, along with your #1 pick next year

Did you know Andre Johnson was the #11 fantasy WR in the league last year? Yeah, yes, he’s a million years old … oh, wait, no he’s 33, and has the big body to continue being a posession reciever for the next five years. Football Outsiders projects him for 105-1283-7 this season. That’s a top-10 WR. Are you a contender? Do you want to be?

I’m not – my team sucks on ice and will for awhile. The poor bastard is wasted on my roster. But if you are hoping to contend in the next 1-3 years, Johnson will do you more good than whatever lottery tickets you were hoping to buy in the second round.  
Both offers stand until the guy I’m eyeing is gone, after that we’ll have to talk.

I would like to trade my current on-the-clock pick to Omni if he’s still interested. Omni, if you get online and still want the trade we discussed via PM, go ahead and pull the trigger. Consider this an official accepting of that offer.

If Omni is no longer interested, I would like to trade my current on-the-clock pick to furt for Mike Wallace. furt, if Omni posts that he doesn’t want to make that trade with me, consider this an official accepting of the Wallace offer.

If Omni is no longer interested, and furt changes his mind, then I will make a pick later tonight around midnight. Apologies for the delay if it comes to that. I’ll be online for another hour, maybe two at most, and then won’t be online again until around midnight.

Trade accepted. I’m sending Big Ben to Ellis for his 2nd round pick.

There’s actually 2 guys I really want here, making this a tougher pick than I expected.

The pick is:  
2.2 Blake Bortles, QB, Jax

I’m always tempted to be wheeling and dealing, almost just for the sake of it. But maybe I can relax, settle on having a nicely balanced roster, and a full draft next year. Maybe.

I’m probably going to take my allotted time and see if any one is interested in trading a starting QB for my 2.04 pick.
