I'll say it, the 1st mistake of the draft has already been made. ;)

Our good friend Smitty is likely sleeping, seeing as its about 4am in Great Britain at the moment.

I offered my 1.4, 1.5 and 08 2nd for 1.2 but got shot down. Oh well. Lets roll!

Sorry, that was my early pre-work glance at the board. Picked now and you can all wake up to the obvious pick.

Preds and one other made excellent offers, in truth I may be an idiot for turning down Preds way over the top proposal, however if you have a high pick and you need an RB you need to take the best you can get no matter what. If Lynch works out I will be able to reduce my overall spend on RBs and use it to fix my issues and WR and TE. Unfortunately, without a large slice of luck I only expect mid table respectability this year but I will at least be able to be competitive (barring injury)

Undervalued RB's are extremely difficult to come by. I offered as much as I could justify, but IMO (as much as it pains me to say), in your shoes, I think you still made the right call.

You landed a player with a great ability, attitude, work ethic and opportunity. By all reports Lynch is an extremely high character player. Prototypical Marv Levy player.

Now I gotta face him twice a year. Dang!

For the losers among us who can't access the draft tracker could some post the current order (I will update with trades as needed).

Looks like we are off and the fun can begin.

Preds throw me two curve balls with picks 1.04 and 1.05. However, I have had some interest in pick 1.06 so I will need to wait to hear back before posting (or trading) the pick. I apologize in advance for the delay.

What's the deal with Mutts, if Matt makes his pick? Has anyone talked to him? Will he be picking, or do we have a list for him?

Haven't spoke with Jake in weeks, last I heard he was on vacation in Guatemala, but that was a week or 2 ago.

Not neccessarily I kind of figured by default you would take a WR and then probably a RB or a QB so one of the two of them would fall to 1.06.

None of the remaining RB's stood out as potential elite RB's, and with Leinart in the stable, I have good to great upcoming youth at the QB position. I'm ridiculously deep at TE, thus WR was really the position I needed to target in this draft.

I wanted guys with the potential to be elite fantasy WR's, not just average ones. Both Meachem and Rice come with risk, but also have the biggest potential of the WRs to stand out in this class when all is said and done, and that includes Calvin Johnson who landed in WR purgatory.

Oh, so it's vacation. For some reason I thought it was work (I have no idea what he does). I guess if he left town for vacation and didn't cover himself, I don't feel quite as bad.

Matt Millen.

'nuff said.

Had he fallen to 1.4 I woulda taken CJ, but honestly, I think Meachem and Rice have much better opportunities in front of them, and talent wise aren't that far off.

You're insane. CJ has more talent than Rice, and is in a better situation. They aren't even close.

Yes, Millen is an idiot, but he can't prevent CJ from showing his talent. As long as Martz is in town (which, granted, may not be long), CJ is in a class of his own among the WRs.
