In fairness, I also had Dashon Goldson who was a pro bowler at free safety, but he left in an offseason trade to pick up Peyton Manning as my quarterback. And I would say that Manning is probably the top quarterback in the NFL after Alex Smith.

My defense will be the opposite. The only run stoppers are my DTs and my MLB. I have Abraham and Umenyiora as DEs, Dumervil as my full time rushing SLB, and my WLB and secondary are all coverage guys. You're going to have to run against me, because you won't really be able to pass. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

Bronco lover. :shake:

This was probably already covered somewhere, but can we draft guys who were UDFAs, or do we need to sign them after the draft?

You'll get a chance to bid on them after the draft.

He's not a Bronco. He's an Eskimo. If he was a Bronco I would despise him and his spoiled family.

LOL, OK, my mistake. His name sounded like a guy who plays for the Broncos, but I'm not familiar enough with that group of cheating miscreants to know for sure.

I am really, really ready for the draft to start again.

we should be able to draft UDFA :p

The Seattle Undertakers announce the trade of Colin Kaepernick to the Columbia KC Hood Starz for Vincent Jackson, a 3rd round pick (#65), and future second round pick.

Whoa. Blockbuster.

Ya little risky for Hood Starz but i like it!

is there a list of the upcoming free agents?

Seattle's GM just held a welcoming press conference for Vincent Jackson and issued this statement.

"We're very excited to acquire a talent on the level of Vincent Jackson for this coming season. We know that he will provide an exciting new dimension to pair with our outstanding running attack that will continue to flourish with the return of Arian (Foster) and the drafting of Doug (Martin).

It always hurts to lose a talent on the level of Kaep (Colin Kaepernick) but he was unfortunately buried on the depth chart behind Joe (Flacco) who we believe has the talent to lead us to the promised land. The addition of Jackson provides a new and electrifying presence on the outside and Joe has already been in contact with Vincent sharing his excitement about him joining the team.

We look forward to the upcoming season and we appreciate the continued support of our wonderful Emerald City fans."

Ozona --

The draft board shows that you have drafted Bruce Irvin and Chris Givens. However, you also have Whitney Mercilus. Based on the two times this happened in league 1, I am going to assume the Whitney Mercilus was your intended pick and put Chris Givens back in to the draft pool.

Let me know if Givens really was the intended pick. You can use the message system in the game if you don't post here.

St Louis announces a trade of my 2014 2nd round pick for Los Angeles Knights Reggie Bush and Todd McClure.

Nice deals for Seattle and Los Angeles IMO...

#'s 59 and 60 are still up for grabs as previous talks have broken down

I'll take my secondary of Jennings, Peterson, Landry, and Griffin and their 21 INTs

Sure, but you have to take the 22 TDs they gave up along with it.

where did you find that stat? I couldn't find it

PFF

Jennings gave up 5
Peterson 6
Landry 4
Griffin 7

just couldn't find the stat....knew my safeties had given up a bunch...thanks

Corona Lights DBs
 

Kyle Arrington, Lardarius Webb, Leodis McKelvin, Vontae Davis, Glover Quin and Kenny Phillips wanted to know what you guys were talking about...

Mainly we were talking about the 17 TDs and 7 INTs from your secondary.

how do you find the stats of those? I have been searching pff

Laying in the weeds, ready to pounce!

I love low-key smack talk.

When you're on the player's page, choose coverage from the drop down menu on the upper right.

take a look at my roster (aurora borealis) and tell me what the price would be for one or both.

so... when are we going to get a roster of free agents available? that would REALLY be nice to know for the rest of the draft.

Check your pm's.

After the draft. Now is when I pull out that "beta testing" card, but honestly I'm not sure the timing works to develop such a list anyway.

Little Rock has an abundance of talent at OLB and is willing to part with former defensive MVP James Harrison for the right price.

so... a RT who is started at LT--will the dropoff of 'position' be so much that a good RT would be a shitty LT when started? how about as a guard? I have a glut of RTs, but no LT...

also, how does the game define DE/OLB? I have a few guys that are edge rushers in the 3-4 (OLB) but are listed at DE.

A really good RT is probably going to be really good at other line positions. Think the NFL. We could put Will Shields out at LT in an emergency and he was probably better than most of the LTs in the league. Move him to LG and he's probably still the best LG in the league. Maybe the same at RT or C. Obviously, he's the exception to that. If we put Asamoah at LT, would he be better than Stephenson? Probably not. So the bottom line is if you have two awesome players at one position, you're probably better off moving one to a similar position than benching him and putting a terrible player at that similar position. But at the same time, if you have Patrick Willis, Derrick Johnson, and Navorro Bowman, you shouldn't be moving any of them to a 3-4 DE spot. The position is too dissimilar.

Ebolapox: tried to PM you....it said you don't swing that way

I am interested in moving back up also, let me know would love to get 56,57,58. Me and Old Dog can't make a trade work so anyone else?

Looks like league 1 is rocking, our league is at a stand still. They are still only in the 2nd round though.

Sioux Falls is all lined up for the Brandon Weeden treatment.

He can sit behind Cutler and learn.

Don't get too excited boys....these next two picks (if I make them anyway), will almost certainly be made at the last minute.....still working the phones

I'll go on record that Weeden is a decent risk/reward pick for Sioux Falls. If he improves next year he could be good trade bait at worst, and a starting quarterback at best.

If I don't get back promptly, it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you.....I have four owners on the line right now. There may be someone I'm overlooking. There are certainly some good players left but, man folks are lobbying hard.

sorry... try now.

A couple of those offers were pretty darn tempting, but not quite strong enough Burris and Osemele are off the board

WHOA!!!!!!
something screwy....I was taking Burris and Osemele, not Schwartz

it shows you drafted mitchel schwartz

no shit....see the post directly above yours

Have PMd Rain Man and CDcox hoping they can un**** it

Aw, crap. Let me notify cdcox. I can't change it.

Your post wasnt on when i posted, I was trying to let you know

also looks like their arent that many league 2 people drafting

I had Burris, #1 and Osemele #2 with Schwartz somewhere further down the list (guesing, but probably 6ish) when I clicked the "lock and pick" button

Was Schwartz ever in the top two?

I can fix it.

Did you just recently move some players to your draft board (middle column)?

wasn't meaning to "yell" at you...just wondering WTF happened. Burris has been at the top of my board for about 15 picks and I kept hoping he would get to me and the main reason I turned down the offer for the big name player

When is this shutting down for the night? Not looking like we get to many picks done

It's possible that he was there when I initially added them (I have about 15 or so left from a steadily dwindling list) but not recently.

I don't think I've added any since Tuesday

You must not have gotten the E-mail: Here's what Rain Man sent earlier

Greetings fellow Sandbox owners,

The fans are once again streaming into Madison Square Garden, warming up their voices to loudly criticize your draft picks. The draft re-opens tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (7 central, 6 mountain, 5 Pacific).

The draft clock will tick between the hours of 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time and midnight Eastern Time until we complete all seven rounds. You may also draft in the middle of the night if you wish, but the clock won’t move between those hours.

Thanks,

(Rain Man)

Thanks I didn't get that email.

You're welcome...I assumed you hadn't gotten it

I sent it to all of the registered e-mail addresses. If yours is bouncing or something, then you can pm me your e-mail so I can be sure we've got it right. I'd hate for some senior citizen in Ohio named timbaberry to be getting my e-mails.

I apologize I did get the email it just got lost in with other ones. So it is right.

Thank you for fixing that....that would ave sucked to get the two tackles (even if they were the top two left on my board)

Cool.

There's one player that Anchorage really wants. I sure hope he survives the next six picks.

Hmmm. I'll have to do some testing on my local server to see what the error was. I suspect it was related to you having two picks in a row, and when it updated your draft board it temporarily had the players in order of NFL draft, and made the pick before it could get straighten out the order to match your preferences.

Just want to let you guys know it still shows Burris on the available list.

I have a feeling I know who you're looking at...if I'm correct, I almost took him over Osemele, but thought he may last until my picks in the 4th (only 23 and 24 picks away)

That would be a good problem, more or less, since it's kind of a special case as opposed to something more broad.

Nice catch. Thanks.

Refresh the page.

Whooooa. I see what you did there.

I refreshed the page and removed him off my list before he finally was off.

Is this going to be Perry? By the way I just wanted to say that its crazy how sucked in I got into this game. Good work.

Oh, I see -- He was in your middle column. Yeah, I didn't go through everyone's draft board and pull him off. People should do that.

Ya, when I removed him he showed up in the available. He is gone now though.

The smart money is on Perry, I think.

Oh Jeff Allen we were wrong

Ooh. Jeff Allen. A nice starting guard. He already has a couple of good starting guards, but it adds depth.

An Error Was Encountered
Player no longer available

I get that message only when I click on the Draft
