The other thing, Rankins and Reed were my highest rated players, for sure. I won't say much more about my rankings, but I think you made a great pick. If I were picking for the Colts at #18, I would have picked Rankins.
I learned from all of you and my fellow Vikefans to go BPA.
BTW, JPFolks' pick (Neal) was invited to and will be at the draft. Perhaps he is better than we think.

I figured you guys have options at WR the next couple of rounds. I could see Michael Thomas falling to your pick in the 2nd. I think it was a good pick.
That (bolded) is exactly what I thought.

This forum hates WRs, as you might know. You'll get great value in later rounds if you want. We're at #24 and only one is off the board. I think at least four go in the first in real life.
That can't be true. You guys can't stop talking about Hilton and Moncrief. Lol. Some did not like the Dorsett pick -- does not mean they hate WRs. I like WRs and would not mind getting Doctson. I know you like Doctson and thought maybe you or Washington might take him. But I told some of my Vikesfans that I wanted to go defense.
The last 4 years, we have drafted at least one defensive player in the first round (Harrison Smith, Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, Barr, and Trae Waynes). Last year, our first 3 picks were defensive players. With all the talent on defense in this draft, I see Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman going defense again.

I'm not that high on Billings. I like DL who can move. I would have liked Rankins, but the Vikings messed that up for me. Reed was my next highest rated player though.
When I saw that you moved down to 22, I figured you might pick one of the guys I liked. So, that is why I moved up. I did not like too many guys at 23.
I am surprised that no one asked why I did not select a WR. Nearly 70% of the draft experts out there are predicting that the Vikes will select a WR.
We need depth along the D-line. Sharrif Floyd is always injured. If we decide not to pick up his 5th year option, we have someone else to take over next year.

Superman - jsut FYI, the pick number is incorrect (i simply copy pasted the text from our PM). The deal we made was that I receive the third round pick, which is #86 and not #54 as it appears above. Just FYI.
Thank you! That was my mistake.

Well the good news is, if crestmount doesn't make it, you don't have to type it again!
Yes, look at the bright side...
I should change the pick to a controversial one like say, the guy from Mississippi whose name I cannot remember the spelling. (Just kidding. I want no part of that guy.)
18 minutes ago, Defjamz26 said:Cool. I'll be ready to go at 4 then. Whoever is behind me can get ready now because it shouldn't take me more than 5 mins to make the pick when it's time.
I don't know why it takes so long. If we know when we are selecting, we should have several players in mind to select. Start talking with others about trades days/hours in advance. "Should this happen, I am willing to trade draft pick X for ...."

I believe I edited all mine. This will all be for naught. Lol.
That was anti-climactic.

All we're really worried about is whether crestmount sees it. If crestmount shows up and all the evidence, so to speak, is deleted, no big deal. If crestmount times out, then the Spence pick is reinstated and then yours and it's like nothing ever happened except a 2 hour pause.
Bleed BlueColts should delete his. I selected for the Vikes not the Bills.

You should edit this post and delete this so that if Crestmount comes, it's invisible to him/her.
Ok.

It's not official until crestmount times out.
Okay.

Pause everybody!!
I don't think @crestmount has timed out yet. Right? Are we moving on now, or are we giving him/her the full time limit?
Did I see an illusion?...

With the 20th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...
Sheldon Rankins, Louisville

If @crestmountmisses his pick and since he hasn't logged in for the last 2 days, I will wait for another 12 hours and assign his team to the next person in the waiting list( @ColtsBleedBlue).
To be clear, you mean we will wait 12 hours only to assign his team to another member (not to make the pick), right?
At 4:20 ET or so, will Noah Spence be auto-drafted and go to the Bills?

@ColtsBleedBlue is willing to take over for the Bills, but we should wait for @stitches
That is okay too. I would rather not wait 4 hours.

Bills taking Spence is fine by me
Okay. We have 4 more hours to wait for the Bills. I will post my pick soon after. So, Defjamz should get ready.
-

Can someone just pick for the Bills so we can move to the Vikings pick.
If Crestmount does not make the pick, the instructions say that the highest rated player should go to that team. That would be Noah Spence.
-
I am ready with my pick. As soon as we hear from the Bills, I will post it. However, I have a meeting at work in an hour and it is expected to last about two hours. If we hear from Crestmount by noon ET, my pick will be in soon after that.

Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets have reached a trade agreement. The Vikings will send their 1st and 3rd round picks (#23 and #54) in exchange for the c Jets #20 and the Jets 4th Rd pick.
@NFLfan to confirm shortly.
Confirmed. Thank you.

Yep, lets move on
Maybe @JPFolks will look like a genius in several years time and can bump this one up to laugh at us 
Yes, last year a Vikings fan selected Marcus Peters for the Vikes in the SB Nation draft. Our fanbase gave him a really hard time because Peters had character issues. Well, he was def. Rookie of the Year. Maybe Neal will be too.

Someone will do something we all think is stupid in real life though. But yeah, this is pretty egregious.
If made that selection, you would be supporting it. No?

I am nearly ready to pick and haven't seen ANYONE else suggest this player (not saying no one has, but just haven't seen it). I have thought long and hard about what got us our only Indy Super Bowl win and I find a parallel. It is a slight reach and I tried to trade down but no takers.... stay tuned... Can anyone guess?

Hm, I don't know what happened... @scousecolttagged @crestmount, but the Colts are @JPFolks team indeed...
You're right. JPFolks is on the clock, not Crestmount. Crestmount is picking after Indy's pick.
@JPFolks you're on the clock.

This has been a lot of fun and I would like to participate in this every year. Thanks to Switches and all those participating.
I believe we should try as much as possible to recruit fans of the other teams to participate and make selections for their respective teams. We have a Bills fan, a Ravens fan (The Old Crow), several Broncos fans, many Pats fans (Yehoodi would be great), a Seahawks fan (?Robinson), Saints fan (Bogie), and more. They probably know more about their team's draft strategy, tendencies, needs, schemes, etc. Also, they have an emotional investment in their picks. I don't believe we would be waiting as long if they have to make picks for their teams.
While I understand why you want to give all participants 12 hours to make their selections, I believe that is too much time. Participants lose interest when they have to wait so long. All participants should have a list of players they would select and be prepared to make their picks when their time comes.
