reismark's turn

too bad McCardell is being a money whore... he's almost worth risking the pick.

[Zopperoni]

I suppose you couldn't believe Barlow was there at #5, could you?

In the 40+ mock drafts I participated in, Toomer went in 7-9

[Japher]

You and your stupid experience... I thought I found a diamond only to find that it is actually coal

[reismark]

Sit tight, guys... this one is gonna take a while. This one pretty much determines how the rest of this draft unfolds, so I need a few hours at least to think things over and maybe get some advice.

[Jac de Molay]

Sheesh...

[Japher]

BAPAY!!!

[gjramsey]

wow, talk about taking a draft seriously!

[Zopperoni]

Nah, just poor preparation

[reismark]

No, just too many damn options. There's four players at four different positions I could take right now and have a legitimate reason for doing so.

Though it may not take me as long as I thought to decide. I may have a pick within the hour.

[Zopperoni]

Let me guess, two of those four are Garner and Heap?

[-Jrabbit]

Four positions???

Let's see... Needs QB, TE, and Defense. Gets the pick of leftovers at QB, but there's some quality there. Can have the #2 TE or the top projected Defense. Certainly couldn't be considering Vanderjagt -- I give reis much more credit than that. So the 4th must be a reserve that he values over the missing starters...?

Hmmm.... We wait with bated breath...

[reismark]

Well, I've decided my need for a quality QB wins out. I think this guy could've possibly made it back to me next round, but I don't want to take that chance.

Tom Brady, QB (NE)

The other three players I was considering were Heap, Garner (as a Bucs fan, it's extremely painful for me to pass on him) and Darrell Jackson, who I can't believe is STILL on the board when I had him rated higher than Boldin. (I wasn't drafting him as a second starter for bye week reasons, but I'd gladly take him as a reserve. Not gonna get that chance now, though.)

I also considered Bulger and Pennington at QB, but Bulger's INTs, Pennington's injury history and both guys' OL issues scared me off.

Zop is up!

[-Jrabbit]

glad that's over...

Thanks for sharing your thought process, reismark. It's starting to get very interesting. (And I think one or two of your wishlist guys might actually sneak back through to you.) Don't know that Brady would've, though...

[Japher]

Darrell Jackson, who I can't believe is STILL on the board when I had him rated higher than Boldin

I didn't

Actually, they were about even in my book. Mostly because I have high hopes for Boldin, still being young as he is. I would of taken Darrell Jackson, but I don't want too many players on one team (I gots Hasselbeck), and I think Toomer will give me consistant enough play to make me happy.

Good pick by the way

[Dis]

am I up yet? this has to be the longest in between picks . and...
