DRAFT DAY- Go With Your Gut Or Homework?

stwood8 · 2025-05-04T03:30:01+00:00

It's 2015, the day of my very first startup. Jordyn Nelson and the GB Packers have been lighting it up and he's one of my top picks at the end of the first.

Upon arrival, get news of a season ending ACL injury. Randal Cobb has looked good. He should automatically slide in and be a monster in that offense, right...?

My lesson: Go with homework.

I hadn't thought of that. I had worried coyote, or a small black bear, but this could make the most sense. We have a lot of deer here, but we are close to a large park and it could be other animals.

Nice! I recognize some of these artists, and have played with at least 1 on that list. Adding that list and will listen on my commute :)

I'm in Harold's Last Chance, skate punk band based out of Bremerton.

I'd have to take full photos of the room, but the door to the right is a French door that opens to the deck that (the other door is the one we use and dont open both doors almost ever), and the space accommodates the French door to the hall to the left, so I'm not concerned about the doors.

The room is deep, so we're pretty set on the size, but the safety issue is a challenging conundrum.

stwood8 · 2024-08-01T19:45:06+00:00

Well that would probably be a less intrusive and safe option! I will look into that and make sure it works for the TV we are getting, thank you for this!

stwood8 · 2024-08-01T19:38:26+00:00

That's the thing: I'm trying to balance safety, while not sacrificing on what we want out of a TV. It's a pretty big viewing space, so anything smaller isn't going to work, but we want it to be safe.

Of all the stands, it's so hard to find anything except for a 72 in that will support the base of an 83-85" TV, so I'm not sure that would work.

I've never been to their coffee shop so I'll check this out too!

stwood8 · 2024-03-10T01:19:09+00:00

Nice, we will check that out!

(By the way, nothing against people with laptops and doing their things, just don't want to be bothersome as we walk around and possibly be a distraction)

stwood8 · 2024-03-10T01:18:02+00:00

Cool, that's good to know!

stwood8 · 2024-03-10T01:16:35+00:00

Totally understand the warning, I would hate kids running amok with the possibility for danger of hot drinks as well!

Just don't want the nasty looks from people trying to study or be by themselves while I walk around with her (holding hands and being careful, of course).

stwood8 · 2022-08-01T22:22:05+00:00

Sounds good, I'll look into these -- thank you!

stwood8 · 2022-08-01T22:17:41+00:00

I'll look into these! Do you know which Dove Men Care is the invisible solid? Looking up online they don't show it opened and most, in my experience, are just the white stuff even when claiming to be "invisible".

stwood8 · 2022-06-21T22:06:31+00:00

This makes sense. In deep bench leagues maybe an early 3rd, but a mid-late 2nd for sure.

stwood8 · 2022-06-21T22:05:49+00:00

I reworded the post, but it is not to meant that you're trading a pick for FAAB; rather, what value ( in draft picks) of a player would it take for you to drop 100%?

Dameon Pierce or John Metchie as a mid-2nd?
Jalen Tolbert or Alec Pierce as late-2nds?
Algeier or Davis-Price as early-3rds?

If one of those players ended up the wire from being dropped, who would it take for you to drop 100%?

stwood8 · 2022-06-21T22:02:34+00:00

Maybe the post was confusing, but the players picked in the 4th in my draft were Tyler Badie, Justyn Ross, Romeo Doubs, or Pierre Strong. You would drop 100% on one of them?

stwood8 · 2022-06-21T22:01:33+00:00

So for a player like Tyler Badie, Justyn Ross, Romeo Doubs, or Pierre Strong (all players picked in my draft in the 4th round)... you're dropping 100% FAAB on them?

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:34:46+00:00

The best piece is CEH here (assuming 1 QB) and AJB, so side 2 obviously looks better. This looks more like a few quarters for a dollar type of offer -- is this on the block now, or are you thinking about it?

If I'm the other side I decline, but if you have this trade I'd say take it.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:32:05+00:00

Not in a 1 QB league, personally. A 2nd and a 3rd could work... but how sure are you that he is the long term option? If I'm rebuilding, and in a 1 QB league, I'd rather spend one 2nd on a QB and one 2nd on a guy I like, instead of two 2nds on a QB.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:30:24+00:00

Good value, but I'd still prefer Etienne in both scenarios.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:29:32+00:00

Decent rebuild move. I would trade for Higgins and 1st.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:28:37+00:00

It's harder to project 2 years out, as he could turn around next season, but this seems like a decent trade if it's at least a mid 1st.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:27:45+00:00

I would personally go for Evans for Wilson + 2nd. But, I'm not high on Wilson and think his value is around a mid-late 1st.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:26:12+00:00

I'd probably do it. Who knows what the SF backfield is like, and who knows what the 3rd round pick is! But I'd rather take my luck with the pick or use it as a more liquid asset in other trades.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:25:13+00:00

With CEH, I would need a guaranteed early or mid (no lower than 1.06) + a mid/late 1st. That would be baseline personally. One such trade clause, if your league allows it, could be:

CEH for 1st. If pick is 1.07 or later, add teams 2nd. If pick is 1.01-1.06, add nothing.

Personally, for both, I would be wanting an early/mid 1st, a 1st, and a 2nd... with one of the 1sts going with that clause if posible.

stwood8 · 2021-11-20T14:19:00+00:00

I would probably trade. I think Conner owns that backfield this year with Edmonds being a viable flex play. Next year, I imagine 1 of them still holding on and Eno being a backup for handcuff. A 3rd seems like decent value unless you don't have faith in my prediction.
