I'll take the Washington Football Team.

Nice way to end the selections Pengwin!! Now the smack talk can start!!

I like the consistency across my teams, but I am a little envious of whoever grabbed the Vikings, and Ravens. Those are solid choices.

Not hard to tell that this was my first time doing this.... 3 teams from 1 division. Rookie mistakes.

LOL! I won't lie, I didn't look at that myself. I just simply went with who I thought would get the most wins at the place I was drafting.

That's what I did, then realized I have a lot of faith in AFC West teams this year.

Ravens! My fav team and hopefully looking good for a 2 seed in the AFC. I got them in both my home league and this one. Same with the Colts. I also got San Fran has the third last choice in that home league. So my allegiances are pretty well defined this season.

Yeah that's a bit of a snafu but if said division winds up like the AFC North last season you've got 31.5 wins, assuming you took the correct three of course.

Yeah, I was flip-flopping between NYG and BAL. I fear I may have underrated the Ravens potential this year. Ah well...

[Axeman33]

I was surprised to see the Ravens damn near slip to me in the 2nd round myself. Damn you Steve!!

Rest assured I will never be caught sleeping on the Ravens.

Now that this draft is done... How else can we make the final week before the season starts pass by! #Impatient

Does anyone want to do another draft...but based on Team Defenses? Standard Category points for team defenses.... or any other ideas? I am desperate for the season to start!

[Pengwin7]

I've got an idea.

1. Somebody go find an over/under on all 32 NFL Teams.
2. We all pick our own O/U for each team. (If NFL team ties their O/U, it's 0.5pt for everybody).
Best score wins.

The "Wins" challenge is "fun"... but it's a bit luck-based.
Giving each person a chance to pick their full O/U on all 32 NFL teams would eliminate much of the "luck" of draft position.

I like the idea... however everyone will just cherry pick off of the first individual that posts their picks? I like the idea of another draft (even if it is based on luck) because it passes time while I anxiously wait for next Thursday. I would still give this a go if there is interest. I am game for anything.

I don't think so.
We all have our own opinions on teams.

Vegas sets an over/under line to try to garner 50%-55% bet on each side anyways.
So... we should be split.

True, sounds good. Should we continue to high-jack this thread or start a new one for it?

Another thing we could do is a weekly pick'em
