Quote:Yup. They were "troll" picks. Idk if you followed the interactive mock draft on the forums a couple months ago, but Jungle Cat was doing the same thing in there. Mock drafts are suppose to give you a feel for how the actual draft will go, but Jungle Cat would make outlandish picks and throw off the rest of the draft. Kellen Moore isn't going to be on any fantasy rosters and Johny Manziel isn't going to be a Rd 1 or Rd 2 pick. rickyspann = Jungle Cat.

 

While I certainly wouldn't take Johnny Manziel as high as Round 2 if I was playing FF,  at least from my viewpoint it's not as noticeable of a bad pick than Kellen Moore would be in any Round.   Let alone Round 1.  Manziel has a realistic chance of starting one or more games this season.    I'm not sold on Manziel as a long term solution but he could easily have his moments as an NFL QB.   Including in FF,  because of his ability to run for TD's and put up sizeable rushing yards.

 

I probably have a more favorable opinion of Kellen Moore as an NFL QB than most Lions fans.  Yet, his chances of being a significant factor in FF in 2015 are probably no better than 5 %.   As you know,  it would at the very least take significant injuries to Matthew Stafford and Dan Orlovsky for Moore to even have a chance to see the field in a meaningful situation in the regular season.   With the new coaching staff not being around when Moore was signed as a UDRFA in 2012,   Moore needs to have a strong summer to hold off James Franklin. G.M.  Martin Mayhew didn't exactly give Moore a ringing endorsement earlier this off-season.  

 

In essence,  rickyspann made it too obvious that he is a troll by selecting Kellen Moore in Round 1.
