    Given some of these guys that have got cut any way we can have a FA period with everyone before the draft begins? and another one at the end..

     

    Just a thought as many have come directly after the position period and there is a ton of talent

    Just bumping this suggestion, especially seen in the light that we have (with the recent change in Colts leadership) 3 new owners who didn't have the opportunity to participate in some or all of FA. I would be i favor of this.

    I loved my trade with Elmo after obtaining Cyrus Kouandjio via trade. I love Antonio Richardson and while he went undrafted, I feel like he will be a solid RT in the league but I really needed a 1-2 punch with Jonathan Stewart after missing out on Ingram in FA. Montee Ball/Jonathan Stewart/Fozzy Whittaker combination will be a solid rotation of guys. Hopefully, as Stewart is wearing down with age, Ball will be hitting his stride.

     

    I'm glad you liked it. Worked out pretty good on my end to, I think... I feel the same way about Antonio Richardson, and feel he will give me at the very least a reliable starter at RT. I was unhappy to miss out on him in FA, but I only had a total of 30 minutes to place bids during the OL FA period, and being under a CoCO-advised limit on the amount of bids I can put in, I just couldn't  get my bids in on the guys I wanted. So trading for him after was the way to go for me. Ball kind of became expendable when I traded for Alfred Morris, and I am very comfortable with my top 2 RB's in Morris and Freeman.

    I don't think I ever once asked to change a rule, and certainly didn't ask to change a rule for this season. If a rule was changed it would need to be for next year

     

    Don't get me wrong, it isn't specified in the rules, I was just pointing out, that I brought this up earlier (I believe it was right after QB free Agency), I got the above response...

    That's not what I'm saying.

    If you have 46 players and 5 draft picks then that's 51; however, those draft picks don't count until the draft. So the reality is you only have 46 players. You're essentially losing out on stars that way.

    If you're over 51 players by the draft, which is really likely for most people here, then you'll have stars leftover because those players you acquire after the third round won't cost much as they'll be 0.5 Stars. Under this scenario you saved those stars unnecessarily, you see what I'm saying?

     

    This was discussed way earlier in the thread. The ruling by Andrew (I think) was that keeping track and making sure everybody understood the rule and got it right was to complex, and that therefore it is just tough luck, and the price of adding that many players to the roster.

     

    It's a Little late in the game to change that stance, isn't it?

    Jesus, elmo.  12 linebackers.  I barely have that many defensive players on one side of the ball.

     

     

    I lol'd there.

     

    You just jealous man ;) Besides most of them cost me nothing because of rule of 51....

     

    But hit me up if you're interested in one of them... Got some solid back-ups in that Group, that could be yours for a late-round pick or a move-up in a round (like the Dawson deal ;) )
