OSFL 2009 Draft Discussion

[Lintyfresh85]

Looking at my interviews and I'm wondering, did anyone else look back and say, "Why in the hell, did I interview that guy?" Its some guys on here that I have no idea why I interviewed them. I guess that's why I've had to 2 top 10 picks in 3 years.

No, but I'm sure after a few of the job interviews I've been on, employers have asked that question before. :)

Yo. Just woke my ass up. Really happy to have Parrish and hoping somebody tasty falls to me at 31. Do it, to it.

Whoa....just took a look at the trades at the top of the draft. Great move by Ohio V....and Yuma..wow.

Columbus did exactly what I would have done at pick 6 of this draft.. nearly traded for that one, but got 1.4 instead.

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade. No, no one took the guy I was after. I took the trade up because I felt that I was getting great value. I had Wilkens in mind when I made the deal. The offer to trade it was just seeing if I could "buy low, sell high" and end up with a very nice net gain.

Nice Pick, will help your offense immeadiately

Sure. We believe you.

With the 6th pick in the OSFL Draft, the Columbus Catfish select:

RB Darnell Wilkens


Analysis:

What do you do when you are a perennial title contender and you need help with the running game before your championship window closes? You trade up and draft perhaps the most talented and OSFL ready RB available. With this pick, Wilkens immediately becomes an offensive rookie of the year candidate. He joins one of the best offenses in the OSFL and Wilkens will be an immediate starter. He was big play threat in the ACC and provides Columbus with big play ability through rushing and receiving. After a sensational combine, he became a hot commodity and Columbus made a smart move in drafting him.

Well, things seem to have slowed down. I'll be afk for a while, but I'll be checking in every hour or so.

Well, when Mistwood gets his pick in... Los Alamos and I are both ready to go, so we'll get at least through the 9th pick in short order.

I think rob2e is the current S. Maryland owner. He hasn't been on the forums since Thursday though so not sure a pick will be coming quickly.

We are doing well so far this year. 6 picks have been chosen in 2 1/2 hours. Compare that to last year where it took us 7 1/2 hours to get through 6 picks. The change is due to courteous owners and the new time limit imo.

Worse case scenario, the next pick will be made by 4:14 but I'm sure Rob will pick by then.

This was the running back I was gonna take IF I taken a RB instead of Durham. I liked him the best.

Well in that case I'm going to bed. I'll check ya'll back in 2-3 hrs. Edit: Just letting you guys know what the deal is in case we get to the 2nd round before 2pm pst.
