2012 Todd McShay Invitational Chatter Thread

pick is in..

 

[SixisBetter]

ALSO.... EVERYONE SUBMIT A VALUE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're not the boss of me.

 

[Todd McShay]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the clock until 10:09 PM.

This could take us to the end of tonight's draft. If Pittsburgh gets it in asap cythim (Denver) can get his pick in.

 

[Steelcurtain]

Pick is in...

 

[Cythim]

pick is in...

 

[Todd McShay]

back-to-back picks are in.

The Houston Texans are next up and will start off the draft tomorrow at 10 AM Eastern time.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Sorry, Todd, I keep posting in the pick selection thread.

But why have the Falcons take Nick Toon?

 

[Midswat]

Good job McShay. We should get this wrapped up by tomorrow.

 

[Midswat]

Sorry, Todd, I keep posting in the pick selection thread.

But why have the Falcons take Nick Toon?

If a GM is not online and the clock runs out, and no value board was submitted, we take the highest rated player available from the CBS SPortsline rankings, provided the team didn't select a player from that position previously.

Couldn't you have the pick be closer to a team need?

Robot teams get BPA according to cbssportsline's draft board. Only exception is if they have already drafted a player at that position in this draft. Keeps opinion out of it and the polls were taking too long.

too subjective. This takes opinion, bias, personal draft need, etc out of it.

Oh, well, that process kind of screws up the draft because it becomes a bit unrealistic.

 

[Midswat]

Meh. Then it becomes a judgement call, requires research, debate, which need is greater, etc.

By the time the clock runs out, people just want to move on to the next pick so fuck it.

 

[Midswat]

Not really. You can say the Falcons don't need a receiver, but how many years did the Lions draft receivers in back to back years? In the mid rounds, it's not that uncommon to see teams take BPA and shit.

Again, we're trying to get through this as painlessly as possible. These aren't easy to run. That's why it'd be ideal of GM's provided value lists.

Hell... even just a "take the best guard available" or something like that.

Extreme, if you'd like to take the Saints you can. They are 2 picks away so you would need to send a list of 2 players to me tonight.

Count how many picks away you are from your next pick and send a list with exactly that many players as a PM tonight.

Ok, I'll do it.

 

[cmd34]

Ok, I'll do it.

Just know that you have inherited Brandon Weeden, the Saints second round pick. Much to the chagrin of BangersandMash.
