Gert T 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 If we want to keep it at 12, could we do 2 separate groups of 12? It just seems there is a lot of interest for an NFL draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 20 is a good number but if you want to add more, by all means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Oh I don't care one way or another, I saw that people had said they wanted only 12, but then a lot of people signed up too. I am happy either way, I like a bigger number because I like that people have to dig deeper (I can legitamately say there are 4 guys in the NBA draft I never heard of). But the waiting in some (cough, NHL , does suck.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I don't really have a problem with 20, I'm just looking at other drafts and hoping we can move things along with 20 people, especially when we get to the later rounds. Of course, as I said in the movie draft thread, where are we all going, anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted May 31, 2008 This is going to last until the season starts if we have over 20 people involved. Here's a compromise: Miss three picks in a row and you're out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 The Music draft was started in February and is still going into June... so I second Tzar's idea of booting somebody if they miss 3 picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I really don't want to go over 20. I prefer the 2 drafts of 12 teams approach that Gert T proposed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I think 20 is ok if you do O-lines as a group and keep the focus on drafting skill positions, but if we're going to do them individually, then we should cut the number down, or do the 2/12 thing because this thing would drag horribly in the later rounds otherwise.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 It's really just 8 or 9 linemen that is being asked to be drafted per team. That's not too hard. And certainly no more tedious than waiting for someone to make their backup QB pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Alright! I'm situated. Let's start this thing. I'll update the first post with draft order, and rules, in just a moment. The miss three picks and you're out thing is law! If that happens, your players will be released back into the pool, and somebody gets lucky. Linemen will be drafted individually. So, let's fuck this duck, shall we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Holy fuck... 1st pick, do you guys mind if I think about it for a bit? I'll come back in about 30 mins with my pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Yes! I desperately want one of four guys and the third pick guarantees it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Fuck it... I know who I'm going to pick. With the 1st overall pick, I select... Jim Brown 9x Pro Bowl selection (1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965) 9x All-Pro selection (1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965) NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team NFL 1960s All-Decade Team 3x NFL MVP (1957, 1958, 1965) 3x UPI NFL MVP (1958, 1963, 1965) 3x Pro Bowl MVP (1961, 1962, 1965) In the opinions of many, he was the greatest football player of all time. He was a beast RB, and his career 5.0 YPA will likely never be beaten... The perfect player to build a team around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Sorry about the delay, didn't realize this was getting up and going tonight.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted June 1, 2008 There was my number 1. Logic: He's better than anyone else at his given position by the largest margin. Greatest RB or QB? There are all kinds of arguments than can be made for many players. With wide receivers, there's Jerry Rice and then everyone else. Tremendous pick, Gert.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Can you update the first post with what our final roster should look like? Given 30 rounds I'd assume... - 2 QB - 2 RB - 3 WR - 1 TE - 5 OL - 3/4 DL - 4/3 LB - 2 CB - 2 S - 1 K - 1 P - KR/PR Well, that's only 27. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I don't think there should be any rigid rules to the offensive lineup. We could pick a singleback set, 2 WR/2 TE. Single with three wides and an end. RB/FB/TE/2 WR...leave it open. Makes it more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I lost out on Jim Brown, but fortunately for me there is another top running back available who many say is an even more complete back than Brown and a fantastic leader. He's the guy who broke most of Jim Brown's rushing records and an incredibly 'sweet' building block for a championship team. RB Walter Payton Career Stats Rushing Yards 16,726 Average 4.4 Touchdowns 110 Stats at NFL.com Career Highlights and Awards * 9x Pro Bowl selection (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) * 9x All-Pro selection (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986) * 1977 NFL MVP * 1977 PFWA NFL MVP * 1977 NEA NFL MVP * 1985 UPI NFC Player of the Year * 1977 UPI NFC Player of the Year * 1977 Bert Bell Award * 1978 Pro Bowl MVP * Super Bowl XX Champion I would have taken Rice had been available even though I firmly believe that the best teams build around a strong runner. Payton was simply too good to pass up at this spot, even though it kills me inside to take a Chicago Bear with my first pick. Now with three of my top four picks that I mentioned earlier going in order, I'm curious when #4 goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Brandon 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 This may be a bit of a reach, but there is no other man that I want running my offense. Probably the smartest player in the history of the game. This guy puts up monster stats each year and is consistently winning 10-13 games every year. May end up going down as the best to ever play the game at his position. With the number 4 pick of the NFL All Time Draft, I select QB Peyton Manning Current NFL Stats: TD-INT 306-153 Passing yards 41,626 QB Rating 94.7 # 8x Pro Bowl selection (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) # 6x All-Pro selection (1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) # 2x AP NFL MVP (2003, 2004) # Pro Bowl MVP (2005) # Super Bowl MVP (XLI) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 This draft is going to be deep. I am glad that Walter Payton is being recognized somewhat with a 3rd overall pick in an all time draft. I am also shocked I will be landing either the best QB or the best RB in history, pending the person picking next's selection. Just wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
