Straight Dope Fantasy Football Mock Draft

You’re right. And now with Muhsin on my team, I need Jake to be the real deal.

Does it seem as though Chris “no more cranky my” Weinke has made a career out of one good game two years ago? I don’t remember who Carolina was playing, and I don’t have time to look it up, but I remember he had one monster game as a rookie, and it’s been all downhill from there.

I was hurtin’ for a pass catcher. I hope we see the Muhammad of two-three years ago.

He wasn’t too bad last year considering he was always hurt and Bobby Boucher was throwing to him.

I think they figured that since he was already about 30 when he graduated from college, he should be mature and poised and they could make him a start. He was better than Randy Fasani, the poor bastard who I think made his only start against the TB defense. But how stupid do you have to be to take 10 years to graduate from Free Shoes U?

Sure, if you’d done this five minutes earlier it could have been Stitch sitting on the clock all night. I was surprised to wake up after five hours sleep and find that I’d been on the clock for almost six hours. I thought it must have been the nightcap.

morning all. made my pick. someone else is up.

WL - Dwayne Bates should rebound? rebound from what? last year was his best year by far.

Correll Buckhalter was the steal of the draft.

If I get logjammed on the next couple picks, someone pick me a backup TE. Gracias.

Bates will definately have a better year, now that the Vikings have no illusions that Derrick Alexander has any talent. Bates will be a solid #2 from the get go. #3 is up for grabs. The vikings were considering trading or drafting a talented number 2, but failed. Look for my pick, tight end Chamberlain, to have a productive year as well.

AntSports.com just went down.

Good, I’m not halucinating.

I just tried the site and got this message:

Hope it’s just me. Anyone?

Talk about your simulposts.

Actually, it is a friday, and kinda slow at work.

Darn, I’m not hallucinating.

“Bates will definately have a better year, now that the Vikings have no illusions that Derrick Alexander has any talent. Bates will be a solid #2 from the get go.”

my comment wasnt that bates wouldnt have a good year, only that he wouldnt “rebound”

Maybe he should play for the Dallas Mavericks. They won’t rebound either.:rolleyes:

yeah when are the mavs gonna finish off portland? my kings need someone to beat :o)

I’m not sure they will. You might be witness to history. This would be the first time in the NBA for a team to come back from an 0-3 deficit.

I hope your Kings thrash the Lakers this year. I can’t stand that smug ass Phil Jackson.

Still getting this message from Antsports. Anyone else able to get in?

He’ll rebound from not being as good last year as I thought he was going to be. Duh.

yeah, portland is making it a series again. even if the lakers beat minnesota (which it looks like they will) i dont see them beating san antonio. but if they do, my kings will happily put trash talking shaq in his place.

btw, i just HAVE to post this somewhere… from ESPN.com

“Jones and Parcells set the tone by staying put in the first round and snatching cornerback Terence Newman, perhaps the rookie who will make the most immediate impact, when he dropped into their laps at the No. 5 overall spot. Newman, along with holdover veterans Derek Ross and Mario Edwards, should give the Cowboys one of the best young corner trios in the NFL.”

sniff sniff… i never thought i would see the day when the cowboys secondary would be highly regarded again.
