[GM Franchise]

I think you miss you chance ... might have to settle

I think you are right.

[Jennifer]

I just wish I'd gone with my gut and taken Sean Rivers with my #4 pick.

Or traded Street + #4 for #1, like I got offered, then I could have drafted Bennett or Apollo (Shack would've held out on me) and never wound up with Brad Jones and Country.

[GM Franchise]

Sean Rivers was a solid pick. Surprised I ended up with him.

Brad Jones and Country Sampson are walking disasters.

[J-Reb]

Blue Reed has turned out to be a great pickup for me.  I was concerned that he'd probably never be anything more than a 12-8 kind of guy but he's really picked it up. 

[GM Franchise]

You put together a solid team, Rebel. They've meshed together nicely.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, Rebel... Reed won our game for you. If I had a better centre then it'd have been something else, but unfortunately Simon 'late first round' Frame turned out to be nowhere near as good as I was hoping. I mean... okay late first round pick, not expecting an amazing player but ... he's worse than Country Sampson. I have a feeling that the weakness in my starting five may cost me in the playoffs.

[GM Franchise]

Wasn't Simon Frame the guy that walked into the door and got a concussion? lol

[T-Bonizzle]

Franchise is at it again....

Pro tip: Come in with a number. Don't ask a guy what he wants to be paid, because everyone wants to be over-paid.

[GM Franchise]

Yeah, I know. Should've done that but the way he came in made it seem like he was confused about what was going on, lol. But yeah, my bad.

[Dorling]

I liked reading the post about the top 5 draft guys.

Clint Danberry rules.

[Jennifer]

Yeah it was interesting to look up, Dorling. I'm going to try to grab a few things like that. I might try coaches yet, although that will be more difficult to trace, (anyone remember which season we introduced assistants? I think it was season 8 )

Added in James Cross originally having been drafted by Texas, too.

Wasn't Simon Frame the guy that walked into the door and got a concussion? lol

Yup!

He's, to be fair, not terrible. He gets boards and blocks. He's just, y'know, not that great for a guy who's supposed to have played professionally.

[GM Franchise]

Frame is more of a roleplayer type. He's solid but not spectacular.
