2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Post your BS here....

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Wow..really did not expect that kind of bid on Lloyd

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

He went for 2950 in SACD.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Trade for one of these studs RB instead of over paying in RFA!

- Pierre Thomas - 2yrs, 1089/1198
- Rashard Mendenhall - 2 yrs, 1214/1335
- Jamaal Charles - 2 yrs, 1094/1203

Shoot a PM my way!

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

ya but i was really hoping for the 500 range

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Really Vernon davis is bidding higher than Gates, no wonder the NFL has problems you guys are just as bad, REALLY Davis for 1,600????

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Like in anything, when the main course is all gone and all that is left is scraps, a starved man will pay more for it.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Davis scraps? Wow..harsh...

Look at stats...Davis and Gates are pretty close in points the last two years..Gates had a ton of TD's last year, which made his PPG higher...but Davis is young and coming into his prime years, whereas Gates is older and battling injuries...NFL is all about stats, and Davis makes the SF QB's better, so you can count on him being targeted even more this year.

49ers quarterbacks produced a 113.8 passer rating when targeting Vernon Davis in 2010.
Even more impressively, Alex Smith boasted a 124.0 rating on throws to Davis compared to 72.6 to all other targets. For comparison's sake, San Fran QBs produced just a 64.8 rating on passes to Michael Crabtree, 85.3 to Josh Morgan, and an appallingly low 36.8 to Ted Ginn. Entering 2011, there's no question Davis is the Niners' top receiving threat.

Yah, I think its about right....

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

The following players are yet to be bid upon. I'm going to suggest that if there is no further bidding by the start of the NFL Draft this Thursday night, then they will sell at the tender price to their current owners. Of course, if any DO get bid upon, we'll see it out to its conclusion.

QB Jay Cutler 2nd - 800cb (Scorpions)
=================
RB Steven Jackson 1st - 2,400cb (Freedom)
=================
WR Randy Moss 2nd - 1200 (Greatshepski)
WR Steve Smith 2nd - 1200 (Greatshepski)
=================
TE Jeremy Shockey 3rd - 250cb (Bad Dogs)

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Ok by me.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I'm ok with cutting the RFA period deadline back if no activity on remaining players. Less distractions from NFL Rookie Draft...

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Steve Smith was sold to the Chunks; Chunks cut him and Dogs claimed him on waivers.

Never mind; I got the NYG S. Smith
Sheps RFA is the Carolina S. Smith

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Bad Dogs claimed NYGiants Steve Smith and Carolina Steve Smith is listed RFA.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I am done myself..so I have no issues with it...

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I am done too. Let's start the rookie draft Monday morning.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

The Rookie draft will not be starting Monday morning.
We usually provide a good 1-2 weeks break AFTER THE NFL DRAFT for people to do a bit of post-draft analysis (I know I do) to prepare for the Rookie draft.

We will be continuing that tradition.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I'm finished with RFAs.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I agree with Reds...Monday morning sounds good to me ;-)

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Oh Great Burt!!! Encourage Reds some more...LOL!!!
Here comes a real convincing list of reasons why we should start the draft early...
Get em Mike!!!

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Ah, what an unexpected round of support I got here!

I don't have a reason to start early, other than I am suffering from off-season-itching-to-do-something-NFL-related disease (which has also caused me to make a lot of unnecessary, lopsided trades in all leagues).

I am intrigued by the prospect of everybody drafting without much readily available online rankings and analysis, but that's a rather subjective reasoning on my part.

(Side note, in one of my leagues we just wrapped up the rookie draft. I blew it, of course, but it was still much more fun than the conventional rookie draft. Nothing feels better than doing your own analysis, sticking to your guns and seeing that fifth-rounder pan out!)

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Then again, we could not turn the clock on until the scheduled start time - on the condition that we don't harass the guy "holding up the draft" until after the 9th of May.
I know, I'm the one doing the encouraging...

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I figured the pick able to be made before clock starts was always an option....

Realistically, who here has NOT already looked at hundreds of mock drafts, thousands of 2011 rookie rankings, etc?

come on...we are ALL ready to roll!! Just need to see where they all go and make some minor adjustments....by Saturday evening, we will know everything we need to know...which gives us all day Sunday to get ready - Jim, you can just ask you associate paster to give the sermon this Sunday..you need to rest up from your Easter sermon!! ;-)

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Sorry guys... it's been a very busy last couple of weeks with Easter.
I could be persuaded to start the draft towards the middle-end of next week... but not on Monday.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I think we should start the draft towards the middle-end of next week ;)

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

No Way - We need to start the draft NEAR the end of the middle of next week.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Is there anything in the rules that says when the draft starts?

If yes, let's go with it.

If not, then Commissioner decides. He can do so on his own, or through a vote, but that's his call exclusively.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

The rookie draft will begin on or about one week after the first day of the NFL college draft (see Section 5B).

So a week from tomorrow is about when it should start...not really specific, so really we can roll it up any time...but to be fair, I would say next Thursday would be according to rules...I don't really care...I was just jumping in the fray with Reds back!! ;-) I am cool with starting the official clock Thursday at 12:01 AM EST....picks made before then would be off the clock....

We need to finish up RFA first, to determine where comp picks fit in though....

So Jim, is this cool with you? Everyone else?

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Yes, this is fine. I knew one week was in the rulebook. Of course, that was made when the draft was a two day, Saturday-Sunday affair. But yes, we'll need to have someone coordinate the comp picks, too. Anyone have energy for that?

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

I can go ahead and update it, and someone else can double check...

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

So its OFFICIAL - we go with MY sugestion that start NEAR the end of the middle of next week. Perfrect.

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

How about the beginning of the end of next week?

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

And I'll make my pick the 2nd Tuesday of next week.....

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

IF we're done with the RFA signing (two active players now)... the earliest we'd start the rookie draft is next THURSDAY. So enjoy the NFL draft gang... and hold your horses on the Frenzy draft! lol

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

OK, RFA bidding has completed...comp points have been updated.

The following players were not bid upon, so will be added to the tendering teams at the tendered amount:

QB Jay Cutler 2nd - 800cb (Scorpions)
=================
WR Randy Moss 2nd - 1200 (Greatshepski)
=================
TE Jeremy Shockey 3rd - 250cb (Bad Dogs)

Onto the draft....

Re: 2011 Official Frenzy RFA Commentary
 

Draft will officially begin on Thursday morning... any teams wishing to make their picks prior to that can, if they want... however, the draft clock will not begin for any team until Thursday.
