OSFL 2015 Draft Discussion

[Jake]

I liked Liebman a lot and probably should have picked him instead of Murphy.

[Jake]

Also liked Haddad.

[Pat]

I was big on Greer.

Utah trades out of 2.16 after watching top WR target Adrian Greer get snapped up by NLB in its back-to-back picks just before. This after seeing QB Brant Liebman get plucked up early in the round. Was counting on these guys being available.

I had Grier rated pretty high in the WR's. I thought I would be the only one who liked him that high and was going to try and let him slip to the 3rd round. Glad I didn't after you commented in the chat. His bars are not pretty, but good combines...hope that he pans out.

Ugh. When did the draft decide to move today? Last time I checked it was still around 2.8...

Glad my 2nd round pick is wasted on a QB that will never see the field in Anchorage.

LOL, why did you have him on your board

I didn't have anybody on my board.

I usually fill it up when I'm about 10 picks or so away so I can try to get a feel of what everyone else is doing.

Question about auto-picks. I know in other leagues, if a person doesn't make the pick in time the selection is based on in-game needs according to the needs list.

The highest ranked player at that position is selected. I searched to see what criteria or guidelines we have in place here.

Ugh. It doesn't help knowing that I was SO close.

I had so many guys on the board after my first pick, I thought I was going to trade down because I could afford to and still pick up one of them. Instead, I watched all of them get snapped up. Ouch.

Also, is Murphy so bad? I didn't scout him but his bars seem to indicate some potential, at least.

king, I think this draft utility will just take the highest guy on the board. Murphy was 20 and had been the highest on the board for a while, I think.

wow i just liked greer cause he was from the "U" hahaha glad he went early tho id have felt stupid if i passed him up and he turns out to be a stud. i felt Hadad was too good vlaue to pass on not sure how many miles my Qb has left and Hadad has a huge arm so i think i can open up things in the years to come

Does anyone have experience with FB to RB conversions ? If I did I would have picked FB SUILER at 2.7 (he went 2.9) ---- He had combines making him the no. 1 RB prospect but I could not pull the trigger...

BTW --- I should have a decent safety available for trade

Did not want S DUNN but felt he was BPA

Had WR Grier at no. 4 on my Big board at that point (DUNN, SUILER, DT Burling, WR Grier)

I'm curious about this as well since I'm the one who drafted him.

I was hoping to get another RB from this draft because Canada has fairly low endurance. I wanted somebody to be able to help carry the load a little bit. When i drafted him I was thinking about game planning to hand off to my FB but now I'm not sure what gameplan options there are for FB's so not sure this was the best move. Will it be better to just convert him to RB?

[Clay]

You can use a FB as a RB without converting.

[Guest]

You can use a FB as a RB without converting.

But are there any negatives to that? Is it better than converting him?

[Andrew]

I'm looking to trade into the 2nd round if anybody is interested.
