Holy fark! I think I stole a Good QB! (5 Deep Draft???)

So I went into this Draft praying that one of John Gaskins (2-24 TB) or Larry Dubreuil (2-26 BUF) would fall to me at 3-26. Well, they went a full Round ahead, but I was hoping anyways.

So my Draft Plan was destroyed, because 3-26 WAS my 1st Pick... this was THE crucial Pick of the MFN Draft for Denver right here. Needed an Impact, and man my QBs **** (despite both leading a Play Off Charge in separate Seasons).

To slow the bleeding I added a Vet QB, but he's in his 12 Season... so while an Upgrade he won't be here long. (His name is Bruce Smith, by the way... so if he starts the season Cold at QB I'm moving him to DE. LOL!)

Well, QB was such a dire situation for me that I had to force the pick, go with a QB regardless and hope for the best. But I was 100% sure Gaskins was going to be a beast, and that Larry would be really good as well. So I was deflated.

I snatch Michael Abrams at 3-26, and double down at QB for a Camp Battle with Tyler Newsome at 3-29. Maybe, I was hoping, just ONE of them would have a Big Camp and save this Offense in the future.

Well Robert Forrester (not on my list, but went 1-1 Overall... to slow for my tastes at QB) went 7/1 in Camp to walk into Pre Season as a 65/89.

John Gaskins (my #1 Rated QB on my Board) went 8/4 in camp and is now a 60/81.

Larry Dubreuil went 7/2 in Camp, and is now a 63/81.
So everyone I liked, and a guy I wrote off as to slow, all killed camp. 7/1, 8/4 and 7/2... sheesh! All 60+/80+. Wow... man, to have landed one of them.

But even Neal Thomas, who I didn't have rated, went 6/4 in Camp to wind up 56/80... again to slow for my tastes. But this is just huge, we've got the Top 4 QBs going 7/1, 8/4, 7/2 and 6/4 in Camp. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

So I'm really down... some one has to eventually Bust after all and these guys I Drafted weren't even in my Top 2 (and usually you don't get a lot of Good QBs in a Class... 1-2 is about it).

Well, Michael Abrams must have Trained with Chuck Norris as he rocked a 9/6 BOOM of a Camp, rocketing up to 57/83, and Tyler Newsome rocked a 7/0 to get him to 54/71.

Holy Frak indeed... not see for Abrams (who had the Best Camp of the 1st-3rd Round QBs), but literally to ALL the 1st-3rd Round QBs (except Pick 3-31, Dennis Jeter, who I may have screwed by taking 2 QBs in a row, he may have had Newsome ahead of Jeter). Newsome had the 'worst' Camp by not improving his Future, but a jump of 7 Current is still huge.

So one, woohoo for Denver. Woohoo for Abrams (and Newsome looking like a Solid QB2 now). But a BIG Woohoo for MFN-7, where it seems we may have just added 5 Legit QBs to the League, and maybe even a few Solid Back Up QBs.

Well done guys! Congrats to Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Los Angeles and Denver on hitting on some very nice Potential QBs.
