Live4SportNW 2018 Dynasty League Draft

John Kelly RB, LAR

 

Was wondering if that might happen.

 

@RTTRUTH on the clock

 

I would guess that's who RT was trying to trade up for.

 

No. But he was on the shortlist

 

Trash-Talkers select S Justin Simmons - Broncos

 

Were you hoping to grab Callaway and Moore? Or just one and whoever you pick here?

 

I was actually trying to trade up for Simmons and just take my top option of about 4-5 guys with my natural pick

 

@Will

 

I've got 5 picks left but not until the 8th round. I'm no longer in the business of trading future picks for picks this year but I might try to trade up later with the picks I have. We'll see. I could also package in S Jahleel Addae.

My roster on Fleaflicker right now is my actual roster minus draft picks.

 

Bombers select, DAVID WILLIAMS, RB - Denver

 

@IrishDawg42 on the clock

 

Mad Dawgs select:

Equanimeous St. Brown, WR Green Bay Packers

 

Everyone was wishing he'd be a Brown just for the name.

 

That's two picks I kind of sniffed out this round.

I think Jason and I have a trade in place. I just have to double check to make sure.

 

In the draft sheet on page 1, why is Will's team pink?

 

I would have thought it would be purple.

 

His dad though. read this and you just imagine it's LaVar Ball.

It all begins with the names.

“No offense, but Jim Brown, John Brown—what is that? There’s too many of them,” John says. “I’ve got the option to use any name I want, I’m going to pick a slave name?”

There is, of course, an endless spectrum of possibilities between “John Brown” and “Equanimeous Tristan Imhotep J. St. Brown,” “Osiris Adrian Amon-Ra J. St. Brown,” and “Amon-Ra Julian Heru J. St. Brown.” Brown was active in the early 1990s in what he describes as “an underground black consciousness movement” when he learned of the power of traditional African names; Egyptian nomenclature intrigued him even more. With the exception of Equanimeous, a name he plucked from a character in a friend’s novel, the boys’ first and middle names follow a formula: An Egyptian name, a traditional name chosen by Miriam, a second Egyptian name and a “J” for John. (After Miriam delivered Equanimeous, John told her he was also adding a flourish to their surname. “Brown doesn’t look good on the back of a jersey,” he explained. Thus, St. Brown—which John says narrowly edged Von Brown.)

It was a dark red in my spreadsheet but when I copied it to google sheets it went pink.
