2014 Forum Mock: Announcement Thread

It is going to be difficult to find a time that all 32 of us find fit, some people are just going to have to improvise. I am fine with whenever though... just preferably ASAP, I am excited

 

That's why I think a random draft might be a good idea.  Everyone gets a fair shot at every team.  Obviously if some people are unavailable, they aren't going to be happy if they get stuck with a terrible team.  I think it's the fairest way possible.

My top 3

1) Raiders

2) Raiders

3) Raiders

 

Ok. We all know who you want.

Or we could randomly generate the order, so its still equally fair but you get to pick a team that you want instead of having one assigned.

That could work as well.  First come, first serve just leaves too many people out in my opinion.  It might be easier on all of the coco as well.

With almost $70 mil in cap space they might actually be in high demand this year

I prefer this to having them assigned but I am fine with first come first serve.

Doubt it, their entire roster is FAs, gonna be a pain to fill. Not like FA is that great this year either.

I've thought about them, didn't make my top 3 but they would be interesting.

[Sizzlebshu]

I would enjoy random team assignment over a team draft tbh. Gets things done much more quickly and upsets less people. Tbh its the most fair way. 

[The Oakland Cathedral]

I'd prefer the original way over being assigned an order to pick.

[JO_75]

I do too. First come first serve worked for us before, why go away from something that is working.

[NFLfan123]

original way is fine. top three method seems fair enough

[rmw10]

Just throwing out other possibilities. It already seems some people are going to be unhappy with first come, first serve since they won't be available. Just thinking we could leave it up to chance. I really don't care what method, though. I'm willing to work with whatever team, hopefully not the Cowboys though lol.

[SecretAgentMan]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... Way I see it. It's worked years before, and even if the team is in cap hell, this game is still kind of fun.

 

Don't forget trades, there is that way to clear cap....

[SecretAgentMan]

Cowboys

They should have at least one "free cut" as mentioned earlier. Jerry Jones has brought that franchise to it's knees with money.

Remember, cut Matt Stafford and then cause a bidding war over him. Lol

[JO_75]

So are we picking teams tomorrow or Friday?

[SecretAgentMan]

Haha.

What was I smoking?

I wouldn't have done that if I didn't think he was making $17 million.

Funny thing is that his cap hit is around that, and whoever takes the Lions is stuck with mediocrity .

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

For Example.

SAM(SecretAgentMan)

1. Baltimore Ravens

2. Cincinnati Bengals

3. Jacksonville Jaguars

(One of these teams is in my top 3... Take a guess)

can't be the Ravens as you're not listed in the lotto draw for 'em lol, jags are dead awful so...

i second this idea as I only joined in 8 hours or so after the thread was initiated due to different time... then we could all go and pick a team, like first round of draft... just an idea

I second the if ain't broke don't fix it ways. But if we do do anything else I say we assign the order and allow them to pick whoever from there.

[Geving]

Random order would be nice for us in a different time zone. I don't mind either. But I would prefer the random order option. That's the one that's 100% fair imo.

[berad]

I'd also prefer random order and pick from that. May ruffle some feathers/strategies but it keeps it lively, fun, and fair.

I am also cool with this... I would just spend my off-season in tears if i got the Cowboys or a team i hate.

Something we can vote on yes?

[FreckleNate]

A vote seems fair to me.

[gabefergy]

I guess that's another proposal for the CoCo then.

[Sizzlebshu]

tbh its kinda stupid to vote on that because the time zone participants clearly outnumber the non time zone participants which the method was proposed for. Essentially all you're doing is creating the same problem twice by voting. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'm against random team choice.

[Ozzsome]

I am against the random team assignment, I lean towards generating something like the team picking round. Although I wouldn't change it after all, the system worked in the past
