Some unexpected picks there, yes! This is going to be a fine fine ( read tough ) draft.

And the draft picking pattern has certainly changed here.

And I was hoping for him to last for a few more picks to make a lovely pair with Marshall.

He wasn't going to last back to you anyway; Eds was going to pick him if watson/Jager didn't.

With that huge lead in the Draft League, he can even afford to pick Mohammad Ashraful as his 2nd pick and he is known for surprising people

Haha he told me he was going to pick Ambrose after watson picked him. I don't think he had any motivation to lie there since it was in private, Ambrose was gone already and I'm picking after him anyway.
