Meh a lot of this is revisionist history.

Lots of picks that look terrible, or amazing now, certainly weren't at the time.

It's what makes the game great.

There were only 3 picks in the first 2 rounds that I remember thinking at the time that I really hated (one of which you made). I don't think there were any after that - although there were a couple of reaches there was nothing as bad as those three picks I think.

Sorry if I forgot to PM you. I thought you said you didn't want in.

So please PM him and figure it out for me. No need to play middle man.

You did PM me and I just forgot to reply. If you've got 12 with chuck then he can play obv, I'm not going to try to get his spot. It was only if you were struggling to get the 12.

You were unlucky with Forte, turned out the 3 spot really sucked to be in last year. What I hated in your first two rounds was the double pick of Jacobs and Portis. At most you were only going to get a couple of years out of them and when you're investing so much into two older players it's a huge risk and their upside in the short term wasn't close to high enough to justify it imo, even ignoring the fact that you had to trade up to do it.

Man I struggled for the entire time with that 2nd overall pick.

SOOOOOOOOOOO glad I picked MJD.

Forte might bounce back but its not even close at this point.

Alright invites sent to all owners.

Just waiting on Chuck/Willd to figure out which one is joining.

Than I can collect money and we can get the draft going.

Howcome you're making a new this year, people just bailed?

Wow hating on Jennings but not LenDale or Westy? Both of those picks were so much worse than Jennings. So easy to say now Forte was a bad choice, but he was a perfectly legit choice at 1.03.

Willd want to just coown a team? I'm in the same boat as you that I was really only going to take a last spot if no one else wanted it...

I know, looking back there will naturally always be picks that turned out bad but were obvious at the time, just part of the fun!

I'm a huge Packer-fan and Jennings in particular so i just instantly noticed him, concluding he didn't deliver 100% up to his potential last year

yeah, he was a big disappointment last year. But at least he still has a good future...

Yea hopefully! I really like the roster for the upcoming year so solid, especially if Bulaga can help out that O-line!

I'm happy to co-own if everyone in the league is fine with it.

As for the bad picks last time round, Westy was the worst by a distance I think (sorry FCBL). The LT pick was the other one I really didn't like in the first two rounds last year. Obviously his talent can't be questioned but he was already falling off in 2008 and didn't justify a first round pick last year imo.

The Jennings pick was obv completely fine and I remember people saying they weren't sure who was the better pick of megatron and him and Jennings actually outscored him last season so he was hardly a bust (although I'd still prefer to have CJ going forward personally).

I really hope I don't get 1st overall pick. As much as I love Chris Johnson, I don't want to commit to him, but at the same time, I don't want to pas shim up and look like a ****** if he even comes close to repeating last season's performance. I would rather just stick with a reliable back like Michael Turner, MJD, etc.

If you get the 1st overall pick you better pick a good'n, otherwise the 3rd round reversal will be tough!
