I did. I dont really mind how the draft is going and I swear Im not trying to complain. Just not everyone participated last year and when we talked about the auto-pick consensus, that could mean very different things to different people. I was under the understanding that the consensus would operate like last year and I though that was understood when it was proposed. It wasnt and its fine by me. 

 

Okay. Maybe before the second round, the rules can be clarified. What bothers me more is that some members sign up to do this and don't make themselves available. I won't be available much tomorrow but I will message the Commish, as I don't want folks waiting on me. 

 

Btw, if I send my list and I am on the clock, don't wait. Just take the top guy on my list. 

 

Speaking of lists, I have to take Payne off that.

Last year it took weeks. One took the entire month of April and we did even finish it before the real drafted.  And I mean, its only March.

It is going a lot faster this year. I think it is better when it moves faster.

 

Btw, did you get a notification a few minutes ago that I tagged ("mentioned") you?

Depends on how much they value the QBs in this draft. If they like one above the other(like Darnold) they'll take him before because I doubt Darnold lasts until 4.

 

No. They never were. 

 

Thanks. Darnold lasted until six in our draft.

Have you checked out the Gavin Colts Forum Mock Draft?

[Gavin Memorial GM Game 2018 - Round 1]

PT, can you tell me if you got a notification that you were tagged ("mentioned"). I want to see if those worked. Thanks.

Do we give Clem-Dog six hours? He has the next two picks.

Interesting. I thought they wanted McCarron. And I thought that given that they have the #4 pick, they can afford to take a RB, Barkley, at #1. 

[Tyrod Taylor to the Browns]

11 minutes ago, ColtsBlueFL said:

 

This tells me McCarron likely wanted too much, and for too long.  Browns want a vet for a little less and shorter time frame while grooming their new franchise QB the select in the draft.

 

 

Bills have a plan.  Ex GM's / FO people that are now on radio mention that when deals like this go down, there's more to the plan that hasn't manifested yet.  Interesting to see how this turns out down the road.

 

Thank you. The next week will be very interesting.

Timeout.  If my current/ex girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/fiance was murdered, and I was accused (but obviously innocent)... I would take HUGE offense to ANYONE suggesting/asking if I MURDERED her/him.

 

ESPECIALLY just to gauge my reaction...

 

 

Put that way, I agree. I still don't believe it is the same as asking questions like those posed to that RB. 

 

In the case of Collins, reports were that he was a person of interest. I may say, "I am so sorry about what happened to your girlfriend. How are you dealing with that? What are your thoughts on folks believing that you may know who did this to her? 

 

His answers to those questions can tell you a lot about him.

Should have asked AH or RC the murder question 

 

If they are accused of a crime, I don't see anything wrong with asking questions. The player could always say that he has been advised not to answer specific questions but that he did not do anything.

I just thought it was a ban on questions re: sexual orientation. But I dont have a problem with them asking questions if theres a basis in fact behind them. Asking La'el Collins if he was a murderer for instance.

 

I don't see a problem with that question.

 

That is not the same as asking if one's mother is a prostitute or if one's father has committed incest, or what do the player and his significant other like to engage in, etc...

Its not about answering the question honestly, its about resolve. You can tell them that its none of their business quite frankly, respectfully of course. You can avoid the question and still answer it, i.e. I love my wife very much and we have a healthy relationship. Alternatively you can get emotional or make a scene about it to others. Any of those reactions tells the prospective employer something about yourself.

 

In my line of work, it would have told the Board that I might not represent a potential client as well as I should because you often dont obhectively do your best work when you are too emotional.

 

So, if they ask for details, you would not find it inappropriate?

 

If someone asked me such questions, I would turn down the job, as that tells me something about the character of the interviewer.

If people cant handle offensive questions, theres a good chance they are not fit for the job. I was interviewed by the Indiana Board of Bar Examiners and the person I wanted to punch in the face most was some old lady. I have never been insulted so much by a group of presumably intelligent people, but I knew exactly what they were doing and why. So I kept my cool so they couldn't "win" and have an argument aginst me as to why I should not be an Indiana licensed attorney. 

 

What if they asked you details about your sex life or information about your wife? Would that be ok? I could get graphic but it would not be appropriate. But you get what I am saying. When is a question out of line?

Nobody here said they liked the questioning.its a right to free speech.  When that right gets taken away, then we're all in trouble. 

 

Well then, why did you have a problem with my right to freely state what I thought about the comments here?!!

 

I find it interesting what some folks call "free speech". For those folks, free speech is only brought up as an argument when they agree with something. If they disagree with someone, they say "shut up and play".

And the last posts you've made are condescending. 

 

Still, I did not quote anyone. 

 

I noticed you did not repudiate any of the comments where posters are calling others "wusses" and "pansies". That says a lot.

That's not a cool thing to say to a fellow poster.  

 

I did not say it to anyone in particular.

Just reading these posts is enough to tell me who I would hire and not hire to represent my company.

Some of the comments are just .

[Tyrod Taylor to the Browns]

Does this mean that the Browns are not pursuing AJ McCarron?

 

And who will be the Bills' QB? The Colts may have a great trade partner in the Bills. Bills can move up to #3 and give the Colts their 2 picks in the first round and 2 more picks in the 2nd round. 

 

•Bills get #3

•Colts receive #21, 22, 53, 56

 

Colts would then have 5 picks in the top 56, including their own pick in 2nd round.

Now how would you feel if someone that DIDN'T think those questions were off-limits asked you those, then when you got offended, they said you were just being "SOFT" and to get the F over it?

Again, thanks for doing this.

 

I was wondering if all the participants have been notified that the mock draft has officially started? I just logged in at 5:15 and I did not receive a notification.
