Wish I had seen this LY.  Very cool.

P.S. that screws us all out of drafting Richardson...  and that sucks since he will be OROY....

MO, a question on this.  I don't remember the bolded/large fonted stuff in last year's picks, so I'm a but when it comes to this new detail.

Based on this rule, does that mean that our first round selection can't be Luck, RG3, or T-Rich?
Second round cannot be the guys drafted #33, 34, 35, and 36?
Third round excluding #64, 65, and 66?
....and so on?

That's why I have you guys around.  It is in the original Acumen that I participate in, that we use the Browns position and that is a rule that I eliminated for us.  Thank you for pointing this out.  I guess it's no secret who my 1st rounder will be...

I'd still go Trent this year.  QB be darned, we can act like I took Cam last year.  I should do okay with just those 2 guys, right?  LOL!

Seriously, would have loved to get on something like this at jump street.  To bad there is no way to calculate OL, because this makes it much more Fantasy and a tad less Draft Acumen, but really what can you do about that?

Looks like a great set up, and if one is done in the future I'd love to throw my Ante in and play a nice 5 year hand.  :D

No sweat MO.  Taking away RG3/Luck/T-Rich would have been a good challenge, but now we all have to really put our thinking caps to debate among those three.

Still pretty laughable that nobody took Cam last year, thus the pretty close point totals.

I'm fairly certain the 1st round picks are going to be the top three picks, and maybe Blackmon, this year.....just a guess.

or if you want the guaranteed 64 starts, Decastro may be the choice...

Just a few weeks away gents...

I am by far in last place!!
This year is going to be money.

1. Andrew Luck, QB Colts
2. Coby Fleener, TE Colts
3. Brandon Taylor SS Chargers
4. James Michael Johnson, LB Browns
5. Zebrie Sanders OT Bills
6. Danny Trevathan OLB Broncos
7. Alfonzo Dennard CB Patriots
UDFA -Ronald Leary OG Cowboys
UDFA - Vontaze Burfict LB Bengals
UDFA - Matt Daniels S Rams

I've got a pretty decent idea of my first few guys; gotta keep my eyes/ears out for UDFAs the next few weeks. I have zero clue about them this year....

Get those rosters in!

Metabolic Orange's 2012 acumen picks:
RB Trent Richardson Cleveland
CB Janoris Jenkins St. Louis
SS Brandon Taylor San Diego
NT Alameda Ta'amu Shittsburgh
WR Juron Criner Oakland
DT Billy Winn Cleveland
CB Alfonzo Dennard New England

UDFA
FS Will Hill New York Giants
CB Leonard Johnson Tampa Bay
LB Vontaze Burfict Cincinnati

Seriously?

So... does Gordon count as this years 2nd or next? :D

1) Trent Richardson RB CLE
2) Coby Fleener TE IND
3) Demario Davis OLB NYJ
4) James-Michael Johnson LB CLE
5) Zebrie Sanders OT BUF
6) Danny Trevathon LB DEN
7) Alfonso Denard CB NE

UDFAs
-Vontaze Burfict DE CIN
-James Brown OT CHI
-Marquis Maze WR PIT

1. Trent Richardson, RB Cleveland
2. Janoris Jenkins, CB, Rams
3. Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
4. James Michael Johnson, ILB, Browns
5. Zebrie Sanders, T, Buffalo
6. Emanuel Acho, OLB, Cleveland
7. Alfonso Dennard, CB, Philadelphia

UDFA

Matt Reynolds, T, Carolina
Chris Polk, RB, Philadelphia
Drew Butler, P, Pittsburgh (unless punters and kickers aren't allowed then I'll take)
Jeff Fuller, WR, Miami

Gordon would be this year...

No punters or kickers and only 3 UDFA so we will eliminate Butler...

Okay, I'll take a stab at this moving forward then. Hopefully we'll do another that I can catch from the start.

1. Trent Richardson RB Browns.
2. Courtney Upshaw DE Ravens.
3. Russell Wilson QB Seahawks.
4. Joe Adams WR Panthers.
5. Josh Norman DB Panthers.
6. Billy Winn DT Browns.
7. Brad Smelley WR Browns.
UDFA 1. Josh Cooper WR Browns.
UDFA 2. Marquis Maze WR Steelers.
UDFA 3. Derek Carrier TE Raiders.

So thus begins my Roster. :D Not trying to be a Brown's Homer, just felt we really got some late round Steals. There were some DE's in the 7th that graded in the 70's and went to good Pass Rushing Teams (Giants, 49ers) but I didn't have a TE and I feel Smelley will score TD's. Found a gem (I believe) in Derek Carrier, a Basketball Player who also played Football. BBall to TE seems to work really well in the NFL, and this kid isn't switching to a new position. He's been playing both sports at a tiny college (Beloit) so he should at least know what being a TE is about as he tries to crack that Oakland Roster. Mr. Maze is one I am hoping makes the Steelers due to his versatile nature, as he can DB and he can Return. I'm bound to get some kind of Production out of him. Now, time to go to the front of this thread and find out why I just picked 10 guys. LOL! :D

Crap... missed the HOF Game dea line.  Any chance I can ask for an extension vote? :D
