OSFL 2008 Draft Discussion

On topic, I really like what the new Pearl Harbor owner is doing. He got stuck with a team that only had 22 players under contract so turning his 1st round pick into more picks is the right move. He's up to 11 draft picks, 6 in the first 4 rounds. Good work linty!

And we get the man, I was hoping would fall to us. I came close to trying to trade up for him as my scout thinks he has everything it takes to be a franchise tackle who is seriously underrated by other scouts. :)

I was going to draft him but Sully gave me a good deal. You got lucky.

Sometimes it is good to be lucky ;)

He's wheeling and dealing.

Well you know, you give me lemons, and I'll turn it into a lot of lemons!

I'm all for a quick time limit because fortunately I rarely go more than a few hours a day w/o access to the net. I totally understand the guys that work mega hours w/o access but and sorry Z for singling you out but you could have let us know yesterday when you made the trade that you wouldn't be able to pick until later Monday afternoon.

Best case would be a nicely paced draft, maybe a 4 hr limit, where if you wanted to make a deal you would have time.

Better than that would be like we "try" to do in FastFL is have a few hour period each night to get in a chat room and draft 'em up live. That is a lot of fun because we heckle each others picks, talk trash, talk shit bout the wife and kids, etc.

Just some more suggestions, but I'd definitely vote down the 12 hour limit, it's sucking the life out of this draft right now.

With all that said, I gotta take my kid to football practice so if the time continuum shifts us into overdrive I think my next pick is set. Otherwise I'll get to it in a few hours as long as it doesn't interfere with Heroes!

LG  Darrin Musum 323 6.1 5.8 5.03 18 40 7.78 8.09 0 15  Miami, Florida

Not sure if it was the best choice for this team... I didn't get my interviews in on time (asleep at the wheel in a new league... my bad)... but the bars on this LG were really good for a future starter. My LG starter is a 12 year vet so he can go at any time....

He's not bad but my scout had the LG taken after you by Phoenix rated higher and "very underrated".

Interesting. My scout had Musum rated better in terms of bars. He also said Fedolfi was "very underrated" though.

[Lintyfresh85]

what's this thing with bars? I don't see any bars, or have any reports from scouts.

[Sgt Tomorrow]

when you double-click on the player listed in the draft you will see a graphic of his "projected" and actual talent in the form of bars....

Scouting reports appear if you interviewed a player before a draft... which I did not have the presence of mind to do for the draft.....



As far as the under-rated.... I did interview the first 20 players or so and saw he was under-rated.... but I read somewhere the masking of players might not be so prevailing since the patch... so I went with my gut and the bars that Musum had on his player card

[Mistwood]

Punx 1.18 --- will pick around 8 pm EST (hopefully it's made it that far) --

Punx s/b picking pretty soon and maybe we can bust this mutha out...damn 5 yard penalty for excessive use of old slang terms.



We need a ref smiley throwing a flag....anyone???

[HungryB]

Nice pick with CB Tyrus Stuart.

[aholbert]

Shit, two spots away from getting Tyrus and Pux takes him. Well I have some people I'm willing to take but I'm also open to trading down now. I'm interested in picks if anyone wants the pick.

It was back and forth as to which QB the Warhawks would end up taking. It was between Arsenault and Galloway. We loved Galloways bars but it was Arsenaults combine that swayed me towards going with Arsenault. I feel there is a little more masking going on here with Arsenault and he is a more ready to play today at QB than Galloway which we desperately need.
