Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 22nd, 2014, 02:51 PM

Thanks for the note... no worries.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 22nd, 2014, 07:54 PM

Looks like John is "working the phones" with his 1.08 pick... could Burt be looking to trade up?!?

Not me...I got the guy I wanted

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 22nd, 2014, 10:46 PM

Matt is on the clock... and he's usually an "early to bed, early to rise" kind of guy... living on the East Coast... so I'm guessing the Frenzy Draft will be on hold until the AM! Great day of picks (& trades), everyone!

chasmvp19 · May 23rd, 2014, 01:10 AM

Can someone explain why the picks do not seem to be in order? It does not appear that anyone has missed a pick due to time constraints. Is it just a matter of the site and/or time zone differences? I would think the internet would not allow this to happen. Just curious....

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 23rd, 2014, 01:50 AM

If you look at the original time-date stamp on the picks, they are in order. But then whenever someone REPLIES to a thread, that thread gets bumped to the top of the page... thus, the order gets mixed up. No one missed their pick due to time constraints.

chasmvp19 · May 23rd, 2014, 05:23 AM

So if I like my pick and want it up top ALL the time...I just have to keep adding comments...like CARDS ROCK!!!! Thanks for the reply and answer Opihi.

chasmvp19 · May 23rd, 2014, 05:26 AM

Yep, it works....

Bounty Hunter · May 23rd, 2014, 07:39 AM

If my pick comes up this morning I won't be making it until around noon or so.

I think we should appoint Chuck to make comments at the proper time to keep all picks in the order they were selected.

With the emergence of huge, high scoring TE's, I think its time to revisit the rookie salary structure for TE. 100cb for a 1st round pick? That seems ludicrous to me, especially if you are getting the so called next Jimmy Graham

If you get the next Jimmy Graham it is ludicrous. If he isn't Jimmy Graham then it's about right.

Burt the Butcher · May 23rd, 2014, 12:58 PM

Well, in previous couple years, we've seen VD, Gronk, Julius Thomas, Jordan Cameron and Charles Clay all bust out, all between 10-14 points per game, with the exception of Clay, who was close to 10.

Those are top 25 numbers compared to WR's. I am not talking about bumping them up to WR numbers, but I think ANY player drafted in 1st round needs to be above the minimum salary level.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 23rd, 2014, 01:04 PM

I was just thinking that yesterday when I was typing in the salaries for the two TEs taken. Not a huge jump... But more than what we've got.

Preds · May 23rd, 2014, 01:27 PM

I would think doubling the starting TE scale would be fair for 2015 forward.

Start at 300 and drop by 10 every pick every pick instead of 5.

WR's start at 350.

Would probably want to look at the rookie bonus scale too.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 23rd, 2014, 04:58 PM

Pat is on the clock... But I just left him after being at his sister in law's funeral. I'm sure later on today he'll get around to picking. Grace abounds for he and his family.

Burt the Butcher · May 23rd, 2014, 05:03 PM

I am ok if he needs more time...our prayers are with you and your Family Patrick!

Bounty Hunter · May 23rd, 2014, 05:04 PM

i'm for more time if he needs it.

Family before fun and games.

chasmvp19 · May 23rd, 2014, 07:20 PM

Copy all those remarks...afford him the time he needs to be with family and loved ones...the grieving process takes more than a few moments...Glad to hear Opihi was able to connect with him...

Liquid Swords · May 23rd, 2014, 07:57 PM

Thanks guys! I will make my pick later tonight Hawaii time (early morning east coast) when I return to the condo so I can see whose been taken and who I have on my draft board.

Burt the Butcher · May 23rd, 2014, 08:16 PM

Or you can piss Bobby off again and trade me my pick back

Bounty Hunter · May 23rd, 2014, 08:22 PM

No worries no way you take Bridgewater.

Burt the Butcher · May 23rd, 2014, 09:00 PM

Lol

Burt the Butcher · May 24th, 2014, 11:14 AM

Dale (Scorpions) and his family, hit the road last night to start their 2 week vacation. I texted him that he is up in the draft. But assume they got up early this morning to resume their drive to St. Louis, which I believe is their first destination. So he may not pick until later tonight.

Burt the Butcher · May 24th, 2014, 12:01 PM

Dale called me with his pick...it's in

Bounty Hunter · May 24th, 2014, 12:18 PM

Great, now I only have to wait 14 more picks before it's my turn.
