Thanks for the trade offers gents. In the end, I just see too much value here and so, without a moment's hesitation, I'm happy to announce the newest Usual Suspect: Alvin Kamara.

That song is impossible to get out of your head. We have an 8 month old so all the cartoons I blocked out of my mind are close to making a return.thunderspirit wrote:Yes.karhu wrote:God damn it, you know my sons are 2 and 5, right?thunderspirit wrote:You're welcome!karhu wrote:Let's hope he pans out as well as the last KC third-rounder I took because all of my top-tier guys were taken.
All part of the evil that is within me.
Later on, you'll get inundated with whatever the future incarnations of iCarly, Drake and Josh, VICTORiOUS, and The Suite Life are. But for now, cartoons.

Great, great move, BBF. For what it's worth, my wife thought I should've taken Jones at 1.10. If this blows up in my face, I'll hand the team over to her.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

Good thing I traded up for him then. I really thought about hoping he'd make it to my pick but I guess #16 was his floor.thunderspirit wrote:Yep.

Is your wife better at Fantasy Football than you karhu? If so I'll be more confident in my pick.

Heck, if I'd've had anything to say about it, #14 would've been his floor; he was my target when I tried to trade for your pick the first time you had it.BBF wrote:Good thing I traded up for him then.

That said, my wife just wrote to say that I ought to pick Roberto Aguayo in the second, since you can never have too many kickers. If that shakes your confidence in her FF chops, I'll take Jones off yr hands.

I think Karhu should change his name too the Lady McAllisters.BBF wrote:Good thing I traded up for him then.

Weird. Last year I made one of my rambling posts about a guy I knew when I was a kid, whose dad was named Braxton. So, heh heh, I chose Braxton Miller in the third.
This year, I get to celebrate the man himself, master of the Flying V (or at least owner of one), frontman for both Identity Crisis and Voice of Binky. And, since this is the second round, not just by his first name.
The VMBKs select WR (and New Wave/Post-Punk singer/songwriter responsible for such hits as "Pretty Feet"?) John Ross, Cincinnati

Just so everyone knows: the League Manager login on the ESPN site has been out of commission all day long, with reassurances that it'll be up again soon. In the meantime, I'm unable to add players as they're drafted, but I'll do so as soon as I'm able.

Stopping Ross' slide there. I chose Boyd over Thomas last year, so it'll probably end up that I made the wrong WR choice again this year.
Ive done my best to alert everyone of their picks in round 1 but I won't do that much after round 1 since the value difference between players is not as steep.

I wouldn't go that far. There's a lot to like, but he's had more major surgeries than NFL practices, and he has a ton of competition in Cincy. The second round just seems like a good time to blue-sky those things.PSUmtj112 wrote:I couldn't figure out who all of you guys wanted so bad.
So you think Ross is the real deal?
Mostly, kinda like BBF said, I figured my risk of embarrassment and failure was less if I picked higher.

I thought about Ross, Even at 14.... then traded it.
Been wanting to move up so I could make sure I got Perine, then he fell to me and could have selected him. Instead the trade...
BUT, Imwas able to lock up my two "gut" guys I wanted. We shall see if my gut is smarter than my brain.

Nothing wrong with getting 'your' guy. Especially in a dynasty league. If you're right, you'll be reaping rewards for a decade.46Blitz wrote:I thought about Ross, Even at 14.... then traded it.

Crusaders take Pat Mahomes, QB, KC
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!
Well I coulda gotten "my guy" but someone took Trubisky way before I expected... lolBigwill wrote:Nothing wrong with getting 'your' guy. Especially in a dynasty league. If you're right, you'll be reaping rewards for a decade.46Blitz wrote:I thought about Ross, Even at 14.... then traded it.
