What pic?

[KDUBB44]

can we discuss who we want to trade on here?

[stm85]

Wait until people have picked all the teams, otherwise discuss it in PM. Nothing wrong with preliminary talks but public talks aren't fair to those waiting to pick.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Come one SAM, I was working on a depth chart thread.

[ClintLB8]

Noooo--I really wanted to Titans...back to the drawing board. I am really excited for them this year with the Whiz

 

My bad.. my top 3 choices were:

 

1) Titans

2) Jaguars

3) Jets

 

I actually love the Whiz hire for them moving forward. I'm from Alabama and live an hour from Nashville so I know the team pretty well.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I've noticed a couple mistakes on the State of Franchise's already.  A normal draft (1 pick in all 7 rounds is worth 5.5 stars).  Every additional pick after that has this value:

 

1st Round: 2 stars

2nd Round: 1 star

3rd-7th Round:  0.5 stars

 

So, if you have this for your draft––1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6––your draft would be 5 stars as you are missing just a 7th round pick (0.5 stars).  If you have this for your draft––1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7––your draft would be 7.5 starts as you have an extra 1st round pick (2 stars).

Does Truth know he's up?  At least we're making progress today.

 

Also, we should probably try to get some reserve guys.  Again, Clutch has been gone for days.  Slow downs need to be avoided if possible.

[SecretAgentMan]

Considering that you're nobody......

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Damn I really wanted the Chargers again oh well

[SecretAgentMan]

This is what you're getting

[JO_75]

Alright so far 11 people have or will post their State of The Franchise. Good count even though we aren't even close to being done picking teams yet.  Thought we would be done by now.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

Considering that you're nobody......

he's really something?

[JO_75]

I didn't realize Nick Folk was a free agent and that the Jets have some scrub as a Punter. I have now spent the last 10 - 15 minutes scouting Kickers and Punters for the upcoming draft. 

 

 

Anyone want Cary Williams?

 

Rex does, and for some strange reason he wants Terrence Cody and James Ihedigbo. Oh and Jacoby Jones, Art Jones. For some reason he is obsessed with adding Ravens players. 

 

Luckily I have shot him down and told him no former Ravens, we are building this team through the Draft.

[T3hRaven]

Truth can be skipped in four hours.  If you're after him and will be in bed, try to get your team big board into somebody so we can keep this thing moving.  gabe is up weird hours like I am, so he should be ready to go.

[NFLfan123]

Man, how do two people get skipped in a simple team selection draft. Must be busy time.

sending you my team big board

[T3hRaven]

Excellent.  I'm happy to take care of it for anyone else as well.  Both gabe and dizzle usually check in during the later hours, so with me having Dubs' board we should be through at least him by the morning.
