Yea you made my pick for me

Looks like I’m riding with the titty kisser Mitch Trubisky.

How do gadget guys do in this sim? I’m about to pick up Tarik Cohen.

He'll be fine as long as you use him as he's used in real life.

He won't be as effective if you use him as an every down back.

I like Cohen a lot. He's on my list even though I've already got that Saints guy whose name I can never remember. The guy who's listed as QB but seems to do everything except that.

Taysum Hill

Yeah, that's the guy. I'm going to make him a household name.

If you could go ahead and make that pick.....that’d be great...

I’m gonna game plan on you going for it every 4th down lol

Virus I think you made a better choice with Lockett instead of Cohen.

How do penalties translate from real life to sim? For instance is Eric Fisher going to kill a lot of your drives because of false starts or holding?

Yes. Yes he will. (Seriously, penalties follow the player in this league, so Fisher will get false starts, Von Miller will get murder indictments, etc.)

The Ermines added to our offensive weaponry with silky smooth receiver Calvin Ridley. Ten touchdowns as a rookie bodes well for his future.

Might be looking to trade back of pick 125, but not too far back

The Ermines are likely headed to a 4-3 defense given our existing talent, and we've got 3-4 DE Chris Wormley on our roster. Does anyone have the opposite problem and are looking to move a 4-3 end in favor of a 3-4?

I picked him up off waiver in fantasy right before the season started, then rode him in the early season, and traded him off before his decline. I had him in my queue

I could offer former first round draft pick and Mizzou great Charles Harris. I have no doubt that his 2 sacks through 25 career games is nothing but a slow start.

I'm on my way out, but I'll take a look when I return. The Ermines are all about giving players the best chance of success.

LMAO Whaaaat is happening?

I literally only had Tarik Cohen on my draft board and it took Tyler Lockett? Lol

Why didn't you just draft him?

And it still took 2 hours....

I couldn’t decide between about 4-5 LT’s so I took the guy I picked because we share the same birthday. He’s a little older than I would have liked but he’s consistent

Anyone want to move up?

Nvm

Thinking about moving down from 135.

Any takers?

That’s not important.. What’s important is the fact that I literally had one guy on my draft board and it decided to do it’s own thing.

It’s kind of funny because I actually had Tarik Cohen ahead of Trubisky, but when my first pick came up it took Mitch over Tarik. Pretty weird.

Any particular reason that happened, cdcox?

I'm probably too far down for you but shoot me an offer if you see one

Eric Fisher had 9 penalties last year. My hope is that he only kills 1 drive every other game. :P

The reason I asked was I had a short list of left tackles and I couldn't choose between them. All of them were you and about on the same level. One that might have been a reach was the LT from Chicago. He had 0 penalties last year and made the pro bowl. But it was his first good season, and I think he might have played TE just a couple of years before that. But I think he might have been undersized compared to the others, so I went with Staley.

is 164 too far?

Far too far.

I see no reason I won't dominate the West. What a weak division.

It really does depend on how the simulator handles unicorns.

Mahomes and Wilson are just extremely unique animals. Will they dominate the simulator on account of it?

If no, I have as good a shot as anybody. Russ has lost a lot of games in his career and even Mahomes didn't bat 1.000.

Not knowing that, I'd say I'm sitting third with a solid shot at 2nd. But I won't completely close the book on stealing the division and just going Full Ravens with it.

Wilson's sack percentage is just too much of a worry for me.

Bookmarked to laugh at you later.

You realize that you're the one with Flacco, right?

Oh ****!!!

What defense are you running?

I fully expect to get my ass kicked

I’m not telling.

**** you!

Lol ok

I mean without the ability to draft an elite QB, because of shit draft position, I’m ****ed anyway. I’ll play Flacco but he only played 9 games last year so that’s pretty terrible to because the Sim takes that into account, correct?

I really have no idea how this all works.

He will only be available in sandbox on the weeks he played in. So say he played weeks 1-9, he won't be available 10-16

Your QB is Joe Flaaco

If anyone wants to trade back let me know

It's a weekend and it's even slower

So when I go 9-7, winning all the games Flacco plays in and make the playoffs, can he then play in the playoffs?

Who’s your QB?

I can’t figure out all the teams since people changed their user names.

Wasn't he active in weeks 15-17?

He's available if he was just benched. I thought they activated him after the Chiefs game and into the post-season.

I didn't look at his games, I just made up the weeks. I still think he had to have played in the game to mean he was active

I don't believe that's accurate. If they're on the gameday roster, play or no, they're available.

I'm hoping you're right and I'm wrong

I'm confused about who you had on your draft board at the time your first pick came up? Did you have Cohen first, followed by Trubisky?

Both picks took the full time. It appears Lockett was picked by the bot.
For some reason he was listed as your 3rd most desired player with no 1 or 2. I moved him up to 1. I will investigate in more detail later.

This is correct.

Awesome!

Hmm, does the auto-draft feature take players on your board from top-to-bottom or the other way around? Cohen was above Trubisky on my board. I just assumed the players at the top of your board would get taken first.

Full rundown: I had removed pretty much everyone from my draft board this morning a few picks before mine. I had Lane Johnson at the top, Tarik Cohen below him, then Trubs. Lane Johnson apparently went a couple picks before I came up so he must have been removed, leaving Cohen and then Trubs. The auto-drafter took Trubisky, leaving Cohen alone. Then, for some reason, Lockett was taken instead of Cohen.

The Aberdeen Anarchy and Vail Snow Devils have reached an accord.

AA drops to 143 and moves up from 202 to 191.

VSD will pick at 135.

https://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wor...0&h=200&crop=1

Players at the top should be taken first. Not sure what happened. It seemed to ignore Cohen all together. I will still try to understand why it happened.

I accepted your trade offer. It seems like a win-win. So Chris Wormley is now a Snow Devil, and Charles Harris is an Ermine.

I hope the change of scenery works for him.

So explain further please.

If Flacco was on roster but benched, that means he will be playing in my Sim even if he only played in 9 games for real?

143 up for trade

Correct, apart from the few games he was actually inactive due to injury.

is my pick 162 too far?

Still willing. Probably still too far away.

I'll consider 162. Have to be a good offer, though....I'm gonna need an extra pick, not just a swap.

If the player I want is still available at ur 154, is like to try to trade up to ya from 164

We'll see how the board falls, but send me an offer when the time is here.

Last call for 143.

We are on the phone with Columbia.

I backed out. Hoping my guy falls and I have backup plans

I cant wait to **** up Clay's team

Oh shit, Aberdeen and Columbia had a deal hammered out but Aberdeen's over-eager quality control scout ran their card up right as King Carl was getting off the phone.

Alas.

Well damn....guess the fax machine got stuck.

Still willing to include an extra mid-round pick with my 164 rather than a swap. Getting less critical but a board can fail to shit in a hurry. I'll leave that feeler out there for everyone up for the next several picks.

But maybe check the trade desk before making your pick if you've made a counter. Gonna be some bad blood between rival GMs in Aberdeen and Columbia if that draft board goes sideways...

Cant wait to see the fist fight at the commissioners meeting

There will be no fist fights.

I'm counting on Drew Brees being a sandbox alex smith on steroids.

It's gonna be fun.

I really hope we get a Mahomes-Brees Sandbox Bowl.

will lawrence please draft so i can have last pick of the night.

Clay if my guy is still there at your next pick, I’ll submit an offer for me to move up 10 spots this round, and you move up ten spots the next round.

Ugh, I can already feel the eyes of the Lord upon me if it comes up my pick and I’m in church.

Bathroom break.

Gotta do better.

There have been 2 or 3 guys that I haven't been able to find in the system, like Julian Edelman.
