I have the Titans and so far they are not doing that great for me. Do I take a chance on a one week flyer on a Def Free Agent and put Ten on the bench or do I roll with them?

Titans against Jets (rookie QB)

Saints against Buffalo (are they for real)

Arizona against Indy (played well so far)

Chicago against Seattle (Seneca Wallace may start)

Not related to this league - I have Pit D in this one.

I was gonna drop a bench player and keep the Titans to see if things picked up. Just didn't have faith in them this week since no other D has had much luck against the Jets and thought of playing the best matchup.

Playing a team I am pretty evenly matched up against, so every point counts and my D has been my weakest spot really.

Thanks for your input so far - now that you know it is not in the Huddle League - any other thoughts?

Wallace started a few games last year, so he could surprise.

Arizona's kind of a high risk/high reward, they may give up yards/points, but Antrel Rolle is in the Ed Reed neighborhood when it comes to scoring.

NO's kind of a wildcard, I donno what to expect from them.

I kinda like the Titans the best out of the crew, you wonder if Sanchez can do it again - as well if Cecil lit a fire under their asses after the Houston torching.

Denver's playing the Raiders, so that's one you may just take a flyer on.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I understand the concerns--he is not P. Sewell or Joe Thomas.  He has technique issues and was not great in the run game and was good in pass protection when UGA did not pass much.  Then there is the immediate need vs long term need perspective.   I did not see Freeland being there-frankly. Here is why:   He has nearly 35" arms and his hands are large (10.5").  He ran a 4.93 40 at the combine.  He is very agile.  His vertical was 33.5".   Physically, he is a freak. He is 21 and he seems very intelligent (coachable). You have to remember, some of these rookies are 24, 25 years old. Freeling is A team player.  His shortcomings are fixable.  Short arms (as with the kids from Utah and Miami) are not fixable.  The Run on OTs began at #9: Fano (picked 10 picks earlier) has 32" arms and his hands are 9".  He did not play in the SEC like Freeling.  Many think the short arms project him to guard. Mauigoa (picked 10th) has 33" arms.  He is a solid player, but his arms make him borderline as a T (they seek 34" and up as ideal)  Kayden Proctor (picked 12th overall) struggled in pass protection and projects by many to RT or G.  Weight management is a concern. So it is possible that Freeling will be the first LT taken who actually plays LT.  (he also has the ability and experience to play RT)  His questions are fixable and not limited to physical limitations.  Here is the question:  If you know that you need a Tackle, and you could choose between all four of these players, who would you pick? I am not sure that Freeling would not be the player I selected if given the opportunity to take any of them.

      The more I think about this pick the more I like it. The Icky injury might end up being a blessing in disguise for everyone except Icky unfortunately. If Freeling pans out at LT the Panthers have a good player on a rookie contract at a premium position at a time when they’re going to need to potentially pay Bryce for his next contract. Icky was likely going to command a big salary jump for his next contract and now, there’s a strong justification he’s not going to be worth a big money extension until he rehabs and proves he can still play at a high level. Since he’s finishing his rookie deal this season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers bring him back for the 2027 season. Obviously it’s too early to say and they will probably wait to see how the season pans out with Moton still elite but aging and clearly battling persistent injuries, and they need to see if Freeling can develop into a starter during his rookie year. But ultimately this might have opened up a huge chunk of salary cap for the next 4-5 years.

      You read my mind Nastradamus! If Rodriguez is still there I feel like it will be hard to pass on him. And one of these TE we keep drafting have to hit eventually and Delp is just as good as the others.
