Calling all armchair GMs

I like how this thread is supposed to be a humble thread where people admit their missed calls, but by page 2 its already people talking about all the players they called and all the misses they said to avoid.

The problem is that every time an argument breaks out on any kind of player evaluation, someone has to reach for one prospect you missed badly on and throw it in your face. Need reminders that we all hit and miss plenty lol.

This is why the pound the table thread is necessary and should be bookmarked and everyone should participate.

I actually agree with the WR point. AJ Brown is the only guy that got a round 1 grade from me. As for the rest, I think for a significant portion of them, they're getting overrated because the class as a whole is poor. From my perspective, I'd almost much rather take a chance on one of these late round guys (like a Diontae Johnson type) than reach for guys that are only getting round 2 grades because the draft class as a whole looks pretty poor. I think it's eerily similar to last year - a lot of WRs getting overdrafted because there's not much top end talent there.

Can someone screenshot what is happening like what it looks like

Sorry for your loss, man. Mine passed away about 3 years ago so I know what you're going through.

Please accept my condolences. It is hard to lose one's mother and I know how it feels personally.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry to hear that man. Hope you’re doing well.

Very sorry to hear this, sorry for your loss man

Sorry to hear this RM. I wish you and your family the best.

Appreciate the condolences. She was an amazing women with kindness inside and out, I'm happy to be able to have called her mom for almost 53 years. She's had this dreadful disease for 10 years and although it progressively got worst throughout the years, she was still good enough to travel until the end of 2014. It was sometime around 2016 that she lost al of her ability to talk. I have two older sisters and not of us are sure when she forgot who we were. She would recognize us when we came into the house to visit, but didn't know us. She did however remember my dad's name until maybe the final year. They were married 1 month shy of 66 years. The love that they had for one another isn't found very often.

Thanks again

I had Baker as my #1 too. Call me crazy but I consider McSorley is cut from the same cloth.

I remember @flynismo was pounding the table for Mike Evans, but I think even he was surprised he went so early.
Oh yes, indeed. I didn't think Evans would go that quickly only because, for God knows what reason, so many people thought that Manziel made Evans look better than he was. Remember having those arguments on the old board too lol.
One can only imagine how Evans' stats would look today if he was drafted by a team with a real QB. Doesn't even have to be one of the elites, just a good starter, like a Luck or Russell Wilson kind of guy.

Although I wasn't advocating for him in the 1st; I liked him a lot more at the back of round 2, I was stoked that we drafted Perriman. I thought he was going to be a faster Torrey Smith. Unfortunately, I was right :lol:

My big miss that everyone throws in my face was Mike Adams. I had just got done bragging about my draft busts article on B/R
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/153735-draft-day-disasters-2009s-top-5-draft-day-busts
And then ranted on for months about how great Adams is going to be....hell, he even looks like Ogden! So I pissed everyone off and when Adams shit the bed, well, I paid for my trolling.

And holy hell Batman. Can we get some emojis from this century?
