WOOT! My 7B pick for 2012 is a starter already. For the Bengals, but still. :)

My offense is actually looking pretty good. I may have to replace Tony G and I could use a fourth WR, but overall my offense is pretty decent.
My special teams is good, so no problem there. On defense, my linebackers are now pretty decent with the emergence of Zach Brown. They're good. However, I need a free safety, a #2 cornerback, and nickel back, and my defensive line is a disaster. I'm debating whether I'll get another QB with my 1st pick or not. I may just go all defensive line and defensive backs in this draft. Sheesh. Quote:

Kendall Wright in the first looks like a strong starter alongside Bowe. Zach Brown in the second got 5.5 sacks and 3 ints as a rookie and claimed a starting job for me at OLB. Russell Wilson in the third gives me a QB. Alphonso Dennard in the seventh got half a dozen starts and three interceptions, which may be filling my hole at #2 CB. I think my offense is pretty darn good now, and I've got four solid linebacker starters. My defensive line is the thing that I can't solve at the moment, along with free safety. |
Really, Russell Wilson may be "checkmate" on this whole deal for awhile. I'll most likely be going with Geno this year, maybe Tyler depending on where they each land. But damn. Well played. Not even sure if there is a point to posting a poll in the Lounge this year.

The more interesting poll, which I'm considering this year, is a "did these teams show better drafting than Pioli" poll. It'd be kind of interesting, but we might all benefit from some intense dislike of anything Pioli. I'm really not sure if I'll ride the Wilson ship or if I'll draft Geno anyway. I figure it can't hurt to have depth at that position. |

Looking forward to keeping this rolling and watching it continue to evolve. |
Ok I liked this ill base on what I thought last year I'll be honest the only two picks I'll change are Wilson and burfict in seventh. I still need to find my roster but lets do this again this year.

How about this? Take your last roster, and from there you can add the Chiefs' drafts and free agents until you get caught up. I think that's the fair way to go, and now you can start again with the upcoming draft. Wazu and patteeu, does that seem fair? |

I had another thought about stuff as we get ready to go into the draft. I don't think this affects anybody yet, so it's a good time to decide it. If we draft a player from a team other than the Chiefs, what do we do if they leave their team via free agency? We remove Chiefs who leave via free agency, so it seems fair to do it to others. For example, I have CJ Spiller. If he moves from his team via free agency, it seems like I should lose him, too. However, it may be a hassle to do that unless we have people do it on their own teams via the honor system. I'm not sure there's a great way to do it because I can't really track every player as our rosters diverge. Should we remove them ourselves for our own teams, or just leave them be? I also recognize that we have an inherent disadvantage in not being able to sign our own free agents, so perhaps the advantage of keeping our drafted free agents merely offsets this disadvantage. (I'm rationalizing, of course.) |
As prep for the draft, changes to everyone's rosters so far due to free agency are as follows. Lots of changes this offseason.
Trades Option to trade a 2nd this year and a future pick for QB Alex Smith. Prior to the draft, report whether you accept or reject this trade. These players were all cut, but you have the option to keep them. release OT Eric Winston release WR Steve Breaston release TE Kevin Boss release TE Steve Maneri release QB Matt Cassel release K Matt Szymanski release OLB Andy Studebaker release OG Rich Ranglin You can add these players to your training camp roster for the upcoming season. sign CB Dunta Robinson $15m/3 years sign S Hasain Abdullah sign WR Mardy Gilyard sign DT Marcus Dixon sign TE Kevin Brock sign TE Anthony Fasano 4 years sign QB Chase Daniel 3 years sign DE Mike DeVito $12.6m/3 years sign WR Donnie Avery 3 years sign CB Sean Smith $18m/3 years ($11m guaranteed) sign OT/OG Geoff Schwartz sign FB Ryan D'Imperio sign LB Chad Kilgore sign LB Frank Zombo sign OL Tommie Draheim |
One note on released Chiefs players - if we draft somebody that the Chiefs also draft, do we at least get to keep them regardless of whether or not the Chiefs do? I don't think it's come up yet, but just thinking. Seems like we should be able to.

Honestly, I'd prefer to have free agent losses on all sides, but it'll just be a pain to track so I'm fine to no longer lose free agents. It might give us a bit of a net advantage, but probably not much when you consider that we can't use free agency to fill our own gaps. So henceforth, no free agent losses unless it's a Chief who was on the team prior to 2009. Oh, wait. Are you thinking about cuts, too, e.g., Eric Winston? |
