Message Board Braggin' Rights League

So, Duff - are you backing that up with a list of your own?

Not me, Wil.  I'm just a speculator and one trade here or there throws the whole list out of whack.  I'm pretty good with knowing NFL teams needs.  It's just sometimes what teams need and what they draft are two different things.  Not to make fun or anything, but the deceased Al Davis and his Raiders were a perfect example of want versus need where want tended to win out.

(TheHuddle) New York Jets OG Matt Slauson said the team will essentially have two different offenses this year with QBs Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow being mixed in. Sanchez will be the starter, but the team plans to use Tebow as an H-back, fullback and running back. Tebow will also be used as the 'personal protector' on the punt team. 'You guys will be really surprised by what Mark's going to do this year,' Slauson said. 'The way we're going to be running things plays right into Mark's strengths, running the ball. It'll be very similar to what we did in Rex's first two years, very much a style like that - heavy run, heavy play action and whipping out a deep ball every now and again. That's all the stuff Mark does really well

So is that a typo or did one of Mark Sanchez's teammates just say his strength is running the ball? If you have a QB that can't run and your teammates think that is your strength, then you have issues..............

Great point Doug. Don't forget about my Bears and former GM Jerry Angelo. We needed a left tackle and WR, yet he continued to draft defensive players. No one was a smart as Angelo (in his own mind). So very glad that Angelo's gone.

Your owners all have drafted poorly but you don't have anything on me. I'm a Dallas fan.

With the 6th pick of the 1996 NFL draft the St. Louis Rams take...............Lawrence Phillips.

1. Luck - mistake    2. RG3 - mistake    3. Tannehill - Miami trades up but MIn is reseanalbe only charging a 3rd and a 5th. If not I say we take Dontari Poe</a>  and make his our new RB. The guy ran a 4.8 40 and broke the record for bench presses with 44. This guy is the true freak not that dude from Tenn.   4. Richardson    5. Blackman someone trades up to do it.   6. Kalil   7. Claiborne   8. Poe   9. Rieff  10. Floydd - someone trades up to get him.   11.Ingram 12. Cox   13. Decastro  14. Kuechly   15.Coples   16. barren  17. K Wright -again I think someone trades up.   18. Steven Hill yet another WR off the board - this will be the year off the WR, again someone will trade up to him.   19. Worthy   20. Kirkpatrick   21. Gilmore   22. Mercilus   23. J. martin   24.Worthy   25.Randle   26. Jones  27.McClellen   28.Konz   29. Upshaw   30. Perry   31.Zetler  32.Jenkins

tried to post my list earlier, something went wrong, and I lost my list. although it was fun to do, I unfortunately wont be doing another list unless i get really bored sometime within the next few nights.

foot - Rams are peeing their pants right now, hoping that they can land kalil somehow at #6 and protect bradford.

Hey guy would like your opinion and Duff you would definatly know best about this but I would like everyones best opinion expecailly your Duff.<br /> Do you guys see a senario in any way the Browns would take T-Hill at the 4 spot? 

Lefty - you're missing #18!

Foot, if Richardson is still there at 4, I think the Browns take him. If somehow he's gone, the Browns may just as soon trade down a bit, but if no takers they may well end up with Tannehill.

If he makes it past the Browns, Tannehill may go at #7 if Jacksonville trades with KC (who apparently really like Tannehill). So the Dolphins' chances of simply having Tannehill available at 8 are a little iffy. 

Tax season is over and I am almost recovered from the post tax season party hangover. I spent the last couple fo hours scanning the posts for the past few weeks and here are some comments:

-First it is great to see the wit, humor and analysis has not dropped off thanks to Doug, Sam, Joe, Scape, and of course "the champ"-Oh did I forget Foot-oops!
-There is nothing wrong with keeper leagues, but for "the Bragging Rights" league we need a redraft. No head start for anyone other than the luck of the pull on draft position, and even that can be planned around.
-This league needs to be free. We are looking for the best players with no entry barriers other than quality of play and participation.
-I would love to see a flex instead of the 3rd WR. Perhaps we will get an upgrade to our free site that would allow this format. 

No changing lineups while in your boxers 

-I am afraid this is deal killer. This is the standard uniform for fantasy posting- and I promise not to send pictures.
-As for Foot and "I'm in love with the cutest QB in the room". The Broncos got Manning and the Fuzzies are thrilled. Miami missed on Flynn. and Tannehill can't possibly be the answer at least in the short term. Miami should stick with who they got and draft at other postions. Build a foundation, then pick up the QB next year. Patience Foot- Don't just grab somebody on the rebound- the right one will come along and you'll know it when you meet him.

Didn't mean to leave out Lefty- His posts were as good as anyones.
Lastly-Smoking Monkey sure did enter in a big way- enjoyed his input as well.

i really dont see the Dolphins/kc/clev taking tannehill in the top 5. just cant do that with 5 elite, top prospects in the draft. (Luck/RGIII/Kalil/Richardson/Clairbo
rne) my Rams would love to see someone jump the gun and grab T-hill before they pick, which would let a better player fall to them at 6. even the Browns have to think that a QB that is so unrefined would be a huge reach at 4. i bet they bring in some talent for mccoy to work with before they draft another QB. they dont seem to be doing that well in terms of getting any value out of the QBs they draft, so i think it would be too detrimental to both CLE and T-hill if he ends up there.

if the browns do take on a project QB in this year's draft, i think they should look at the fella from Mich State, since he goes in rounds 4-5 instead of 1-2. But they would be better served in working out a deal next year to get barkley than to try to take on another work in progress QB.

and as browns fans have come to know all too well, there is always next year..........
