We have 12 hours right? I won't be able to decide till I get more game time.

Who am I kidding, it won't matter really. I know ill struggle anyway.

helimachoptor

Yes you'll have 12 hours. Please don't use them!

Tried a couple of games with the Seahawks and they're not for me, Wilson keeps giving up the pigskin and broke his finger the last game. Got to try some different teams tomorrow evening before I have to draft.:cool:

Try falcons/packers/Vikings all are fun!

Tomorrow is going to be interesting

Yep, I think it's going to be a great draft and the forum will be nice and busy from here on in as we get divisional previews, schedule breakdowns, team plans, trade blocks etc on the go after the team picks roll in.

We all know Carroller is going with the 49ers, but Mike could kick off a day of shocks by taking the Browns at #2. They seem to really suit his style and I personally feel it's better to go for a weaker team that suits how you play as opposed to be a higher rated team who you may not enjoy playing with. After all, you're stuck with the team for almost a year. Ali will join Carroller in the NFC West by taking the Seahawks I think (best team remaining and an excellent option QB), and if Mike does indeed take the Browns then Padraig as a Ravens fan is all over them at #4. Pudsy might fancy an even better RGIII this year as he was strongly considering them last year.

There's not much point trying to predict anything after #5 as things start to get so distorted based on one pick, but I think Heli takes someone other than the Titans due to having them on PFL, Berty is a cert to take the Jets, Luke will obviously take the Falcons if they are there at 10 but that is unlikely. Other than that, I haven't got a clue.

EDIT - Just saw Ali's post where he says he isn't taking the Seahawks. There goes my theory then :pac:

I'm considering three or four teams myself, hopefully I'll get a bit of time to play two or three more games before it's my turn to pick, but after taking the Chargers over the Jets last year and regretting it I'll be disregarding ratings and taking the team I play best with. Or maybe a couple of teams will tumble down the board and leave me with a dilemma.

I think there could well be a number of teams who would be seen as strong that end up being CPU controlled which would make things tough given how strong the CPU is this year compared to previous editions. Gone are the days of nailed on wins versus the CPU it seems, which is a great thing.

My predictions
1. Niners
2. Seahawks
3. ?
4. Ravens
5. Packers
6. Broncos
7. Falcons

Heli to pick the redskins
Berty to pick buffalo

Panthers to go inside the top 16.

PADRAIC.M

Realistically, I'll prob take the best of what is left at pick 4!

What time does the draft start at? Midnight tonight?

right Carroler has started earlier than expected! mike you are up..

Carroller

Only seen the midday onwards part! But then again my pick wasn't exactly the best kept secret

helimachoptor

No worries, I have PM'd mike, however he will have until midnight

helimachoptor

Nice pick mike, never beleived you were going browns!

mikemac1

Flacco throws a beautiful long bomb and Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones and Deonte Thompson can all fly

Bring your safeties up and you shall be punished

I shall miss my Browns all the same, deserve to be top 25 IMO. Certainly not the worst roster, they have talent

Lads as it looks like it may get to my pick early, i just want ye to know i might not get to pick til after 6 when i get home, area im heading today does not have great coverage but if i get a hint of 3G there i'll make the pick.

Great pick Mike, paully got my hopes up when he said you might stick with the browns..dumbervile and Suggs off the edges are fantastic...

helimachoptor

madalig wont be able to make his pick until later today

i wasnt surprised, there is a lot to be said for playing with the team you have an interest in.

Danger_dave1

Ravens were always going top 5

adrian522

Yeah, I got them at 13 in the Pro but there are a lot of Ravens fans in this league.

Paully D

Nice picks lads. The 49ers were a certainty to go at number one and I knew deep down that Mike wouldn't let his Ravens pass with the second pick.

My prediction is that Ali will go with a best quarterback policy and take the Packers at three.

Carroller

I was rethinking who I'd go with last night! Wanted an elite throwing QB like Rodgers or Flacco but just couldn't pass up the quality or W/Rs of 49ers and the fact kaep is such a good runner with gore I had to go with them.

And iv a great D!

All in all it was worth going through all them excruciating games in M13, I just hope I make it count and not lose every game this season

Pudsy33

Packers, seahawks, will be next to go i reckon
