Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread part 2!

Soon. After the SB

 

I thought mock offseason was after the SB, then draft a franchise was after that?

You're right..... 

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thought this was the other thing lol

Oh I know. Plus with the Draft moved to May, there is a good chance we could actually finish prior to the real draft happening.

Is this for just a mock NFL Draft and pick a team..or is this the more intense pick a team, free agency, cuts, salary, draft and so on

The one we did last year, free agency, cuts, salary, draft, etc. Mock off-season.

Nice! from previous experience as a player and helping run it I think this year we should set someone up as the commission for simplicity..as much as I loved voting not sure it was the best/efficient. Also we should make trades not allowed till after FA period because it was so crazy off the start and I think many people had traders remorse once FA came around. Just some thoughts that I had from last year. I am excited for it though in any way we take it up again!

Too Many cooks in the kitchen. I can see so much going wrong having this many people in charge.

Perhaps after signups all 32 owners could vote on 3 or 5 people to be put on a commissioner committee? Aside from 7 being a lot of people I feel like all owners should get a say in who is in charge.

who, what, where, why, when... geesh... we should have not more than two at the top, one from each side of the pond - gabe or -Truth- from over there and arnie_uk or Ed_Reed20 from over here, just to have all time spans covered

Exactly.

There is no "in charge". It's just a matter of having a group of people who are active and involved who have experience in this process to make decisions. 

 

We tried implementing voting last year and it was more of a problem than anything else. Having 7 people allows for a variety of opinions but also a simple voting process within the committee.

 

The role of the committee is to set the groundrules and to quickly solve an issues that come up.

It's nice to see things are already so pleasant and not contentious.

You need two more to complete the fellowship. One does not simply run a forum mock draft.
