Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

[Mt. Crushmore]

Here is a look is a look at my big board and strategy: 

 

[ravensdan]

Another interesting selection. Brady and Peyton over Brees?g

[-Truth-]

I'm a little late on the name creating so I'll post mine once I think of something. Although I'm slightly leaning toward the Turd Burglars.

[Yatagarasu]

What's taking Ray the Day so long...

[Yatagarasu]

He can't go wrong with either Drew Brees or Joe Flacco.

[-Truth-]

Chill. You've made a habit of rushing members, and it's unnecessary. The first round is hardest, especially at the top. Give him his time.

[Ozzsome]

Pick is in

Brees seems irritated

I was thinking about taking Flacco or Brees, decided to go with the older but better QB

like the wine... i like it

[stm85]

I hope some of the top QBs make it to my pick. There are still 7-9 guys I feel comfortable building my team around.

[Dubs]

I am trying to think who will be there at the very end of the 1st and I have absolutely no clue....I am wondering when people will start feeling the value of QBs left do not match top tier players at other positions

I got my QB ready and waiting

He's a winner

The only thing I have against Peyton is his age. He's coming off the second best season of his career, from a statistical standpoint. If I can get another three or four similar years out of him, Jellyfishers fans will be very happy.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

I wonder who truth will take

[Yatagarasu]

At this rate, we might have to reduce the total rounds in half.

 

Possible Deadline: 79 days to August 1st

 

Current Rate: 5 selections per day

 

395 selections total

 

That's about 12 1/3 Rounds

[Yatagarasu]

25 rounds might not be realistic anymore because we'll be entering week 7 of the regular season by the time we finish.

 

Original Plan: 25 Rounds * 32 selections per round

 

Total: 800 total selections

 

Rate: 5 selections per day

 

Estimated finish time: 160 days 

 

Estimated finish date: October 21st

[Yatagarasu]

We want to be realistic here because we know when August comes along, the fantasy football fever will hit. Therefore, I think early August is a good deadline, thus we might have to finish this draft by round 12 or 13, depends on the pace.

to be honest we can go until the regular season starts, i don't mind; drafting a franchise takes a lot of thought

There is no deadline.

We have just started the pace we are at right now seems slow but I am sure things will pick up especially at the end of rounds where people pick back to back...essentially I suggest we just all relax and enjoy the tension that comes with waiting for the next pick

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

There is no deadline.

the truth is you're the next pick after, must have it dropped to about two...enty players

[Sizzlebshu]

We really need to screen people who participate from now on. Someone should make a list of people who were active for the forum draft and this so that we have a list next time. They should also make an inactive list so we can ban those ppl from entering. Cough Corvus do it cough.

It's Truth's turn.

[Sizzlebshu]

It's Truth's turn.

Even still the pace for this is fairly slow. 

[CARavensFan]

Agreed, but bear in mind we have people from all over the world on this board, what might be prime time for you or I might be middle of the day or night in another part of the world.

 

Me personally I'm on the West Coast so when this all started I was on lunch lol

 

I know we've got people doing this that aren't all from Maryland so we need to be patient, as hard as it might be lol

Its been 16 hours since the last pick if I'm not mistaken. Even with people from all over the world, there should have been a pick. I mean its the top 10. Most of the picks are basically done for you. Also Im not from Maryland either but still.

Well we are waiting on Truth, who is a very active member so your point about screening makes zero difference at this point.

Truth is fairly active but still its not a bad idea to have list. My comment was directed at him, but more to the fact that we only have 6 picks in two days in the easiest round of the whole thing.

Life gets in the way of a forum sometimes, guys. Just relax.
