Jetsfan80 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I know not everyone is happy with the "slow" pace the draft is going, but on the other hand, we've nearly reached the halfway point just 5 days in. I think that's pretty solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's pretty solid! I think the pace is fine for this many people, I am not complaining at all about pace. I do think it will start to slow down in another 2 rounds or so, but still. I think its moving well. faster than the NFL Mock draft maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Alworth and Warfield are GREAT street cred picks for older school guys. I like Big O's team too. I don't know how it will resonate over all when everyone votes but as I've been really digging into this a lot of his picks are guys I've almost taken or wanted to, to shape my team more. Guys like Tunnell were on my short list after reading about him, would have been cool to pair him with Deion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to take Warfield over Berry, who of course was grabbed by NYCdan right before me ??♂️ and Adderly over Tunnell. I kept reading more about them, where they were ranked on various lists, how my team was shaping up, and I‘m pleased I went with both Tunnell and Berry. Tunnell was a thief....79 INT’s AMAZING and Berry is a perfect compliment to blazing Bambi. Both on the 100 NFL All Time List! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Tunnell pick as well. Berry, Warfield -- still some other really good WRs on the board who are overlooked because they didnt have the chance to put up 100+/1,000+ seasons based on the way the game was played back then. You also get an idea of age of posters based on the teams they put together-- either that or there are some young guys who are real students of the game's history.

Well Warfield had the dubious fortune to play on the same team as Jim Brown for a few years. So he wasn't exactly the first option for the offense LOL. Then he went to the Dolphins who were also very much a run-first team back then. Taken in context his numbers are pretty amazing, but you have to apply that to all the guys from the earlier decades. I'm actually trying to find current guys I want to plug into the team later on but it's getting thin there as the younger crowd snaps up the names they know best. Looking at my team so far I see a lot of guys from the 60s-70s. One from the 80s and one current player. Am I old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Arnie Weinmeister to play DT. This guy was ‘small’ compared to guys playing the position now BUT was a ferocious defender and the dominant DT in his era. Now I’m older than most here but not THAT old so I never saw him play but Gil Brandt has him rated #5 behind Randy White while NFL Films has him ranked #3 behind Bob Lilly as best DT ever. I’m hoping people realize the stats they complied in their respective eras do not determine their greatness in NFL lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 For the weekend, we will change back to the 3 hour clock. In addition, clock will run from 9AM to 11PM since the days tend to start later on the weekend. Hopefully this will piss everyone off at least a little bit -- the "too busy to pick" crowd and the "gotta keep moving" crowd -- in which case its a good compromise.

Watch the video on Paul Warfield I linked in my selection post and tell us how you see him compared to today's greats. I find doing the research reminds me of guys I had forgotten about, or brings attention to some I had never seen, and I love watching the old clips. The game was very different, but stars are stars in any era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
