NFL 2017 NFL Pre-Season Discussion

[J Shuttlesworth]

Will take awhile for them to figure out how to discipline the new love child and to top it off he's a Cowboy.

Likely waiting so that everyone has forgotten and they can just go light and everyone wont be too bothered.

Ex-Eagles WR Dorial Green-Beckham passed through waivers unclaimed.

He's now an unrestricted free agent. The 40th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Green-Beckham has experienced a dramatic and steep fall with no teams willing to even bring him to camp at his $944K base salary. Green-Beckham should resurface on a minimum-salary deal, but he can now officially be declared a bust. After a discouraging 2016 season in Philadelphia, Green-Beckham reportedly turned in a pathetic performance at Eagles OTAs and minicamp, loafing and making repeated mistakes. His heart was never in it.

If I had used my updated 2017 Draft Value Formula (see Omega thread) back then I wouldn't have drafted DGB.

The Riders are confident of 2017's platoon of drafted players.

 

[drd23]

Odds of GG's formula changing again in 2018 as his 2017 version proves to be a dud = $1.01

Odds on GG's formula changing again in 2018 as his 2017 version proves to be a dud = $1.01

The formula is "more draft picks = more lottery tickets" therefore I can see it staying the same

Only if the lottery tickets share the same name as a previously successful NFL player, has the right coloured hair or is tall and immobile (or ideally in GG's eyes all 3)

 

[Exe Gesis]

first name is important too

 

[Exe Gesis]

Dorial ... never in a hundred years. If only i'd had the 2017 formula back then wouldve drafted David Johnson instead (going off who was still on the alpha board at the time of the pick).

Good trade while his value is high

Mike Evans was a top-12 fantasy scorer in just one of the final eight weeks of last season.

He finished outside the top-40 receiver scorers in four of those eight weeks. At his 1.07 overall ADP, Evans is presently being drafted as if his extremely volume-driven first-half success should be the expectation, but Tampa Bay's defensive improvement, run-game commitment, and weapons upgrades in DeSean Jackson and O.J. Howard suggest Evans is likely to lose north of 25 targets off last year's career-high 173. You can read more about Evans' situation in Rich Hribar's "Winning, Losing and Plays" column at the link below.

Couldn't you argue that he'll still score pretty high? Obviously a huge red zone threat still, could be more dangerous imo

More TDs less yards and receptions. Think that'll be his type of year

That bloke saying Howard will take touches off him is hilarious, he's gotta beat Brate out yet. 1st round rookie TE's generally under perform.

True, but Brate still will until Howard is ready

Dalvin Cook. OROY - dont miss out on him in the draft

Im warming to Mixon or Davis. Think they have better situations. Having said that Fournette could very well just blow everyone away.

 

[Exe Gesis]

How good is this?

Ehhh, i only do one Madonna song, G, Frozen. If you were talking about Martika i would be all ears. Toy Soliders. What a song.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Is it a 80's night, G?

 

[Exe Gesis]

Is it a 80's night, G?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm implying. Thankfully, there ARE some smart people here

Frozen is too over-produced. Crazy for You has an everlasting sweet innocent charm to it.

Sorry, but CFY is >

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Frozen is 90's but ill accept it. Coolest sound that song.

Two more, with many more to come:

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Possibly the greatest 80's song of all time:
