I was panicking a little bit.
I was at the Mizzou game and had just enough service to watch Ogletree go and he was really my guy. That was my long-term replacement at Will for Burnett.
I also saw the Quinn for Lichtensteiger trade went through so I was down a G.
I had planned on going Elam to replace Pollard, but changed my mind after the Quinn deal. Unfortunately, my phone wasn't letting me move my draft queue and you can't draft straight from the queue, so I had to remove Elam from my queue to ensure Long would get picked (he was my #2 choice at the time). Unfortunately, my phone was hitching so both Elam
and Quinn came out of the queue and I was left with my 3 guy. Of course, 3G went out at memorial stadium at that exact point.
I spent 1/2 an hour wandering around that damn stadium until I found a spot where I could get enough service to get Long drafted.
And while I hate taking a G in the first, I really
really like Long. That guy's a Mathis level talent with a decade in front of him. With Irvin likely moving to Sam backer, I've essentially replaced my Sam with Irvin, Irvin with Quinn and Lichtensteiger with Long. I think that makes me a better overall team across the board.
