It seems like just yesterday we where doing our draft last year. Picking and choosing who we think should be the best, trying to jump and get a top player ahead of everyone, or just trying to get through it. Most drafts pick RB,RB,WR,WR,QB,QB and then it gets alittle wild after. So our draft was swimming along in the normal fashion for the most part when out of the blue A. Gates is drafted in the 4th round. I was thinking "wow that was early" and so was a lot of the rest of you but that didn't stop the league from going into a panic and TEs started falling even though it was still quite early for them. We now fast forward to this year. We are once again jumping around trying to get the best players but still trying to keep balance and again out of the blue in the 4th round A. Gates is drafted. So is it time to panic once again or is the league going to stay calm? time will tell. What I want to know is what is the obsession with A. Gates people!! He is a nice TE but there are at least 10 that are just as nice, his numbers even fell last year and he still gets drafted ahead of positions that get more points then his. So the question is to you Schaefer, what makes him your special man?

my theory on tight ends is there are only maybe 5 good ones, wide outs are a dime a dozen.
K, I see your point but the 4th round? it does seem just a round or two early.
You been keeping up on comics?
