2014 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

Haha I just want the guy gone, but it will cost me more to get rid of him than it would to keep him.

The cut thread is missing my RFA tender of Cedric Thornton. 2nd round tender for 2 stars.

[T3hRaven]

My favorite trade so far is between the Titans and Jags because they swapped Long Snappers.  I don't know why I found that so amusing.

[Free Agent]

 

 

 

The cost would be 3.5 stars not 2.5.  The 2nd round tender is 2 stars and original round is 1.5 stars.

 

 

My bad, I was thinking 0.5. Thanks for the correction.

[Free Agent]

I don't know if this has been thrown out there already, but does anyone have a reliable source to find your team's draft picks and their overall numbers?

walterfootball.com works pretty well right now, but most are refraining from assigning actual numbers since comp picks haven't been announced yet.

[codizzle]

Blah.. Would've offered more for casey easily..

Looking for a vet safety, Vet WR and maybe a few other things

[BmoreBird22]

rmw, how could you cut a player with the name Fozzy Whitaker?

No it doesn't, their draft order is wrong on a lot of picks.  Wikipedia's listing seems to be the best, but they don't have the overall numbers assigned.  It looks like they do have the position in the rounds right though.

Your welcome.

Whoops.  My bad.  Ignore that Free Agent!

[BmoreBird22]

But that name

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

for good pick numbers do use drafttek

[Free Agent]

Whoops.  My bad.  Ignore that Free Agent!

 

I was using WF and it did seem that everything was a few picks off so that's why I asked haha. Not having the compensatory picks out yet complicates things for now anyways.

[T3hRaven]

Whoops.  My bad.  Ignore that Free Agent!

 

Your numbers are right, you summed them together wrong.  Too many PMs at the moment, but you're at 45.

I keep getting 46.

Lets just call it 10

63 - 7 - 0.5 - 13 - 6.5 + 9 = 45

 

You have those individual values correct in your breakdown at the end.

I cut 1.5 stars worth of salary a little bit ago.  I'm still wrong either way though lol.

[arnie_uk]

devastated at missing out on casey, clint you should have got back to me before doing that. Stinker

Right, James Lauranitis is avaliable

So is picks 2 and 5 in the first round

[T3hRaven]

One star.  Fozzy wasn't counted against your cap, you get nothing back for him.  I got you at 44.0 with those moves.

 

Scratch that, forgot you accounted for those guys not counted against the cap already.  

[ravensdan]

I'm putting the talent around Brock.

And don't forget I have Weeden...

With most of your offense fixed you can find an upgrade at qb in this draft. I believe there are more starters than will get drafted in the first rd of this mock.

I'm under the rule of 51 so everything should be straight savings at that point.

Caught me before I scratched that out, I was just looking at your latest in the cut thread.  Forgot you were the one who already accounted for all that.  Anyway, I'm up to date on you and you should be at 46.5, unless you made some trade in the last 20 minutes.

Nope that's it for now.  I'm under 51 players so every cut I make from here on out should present the standard cap hit - dead money savings.  I was pretty sure I accounted for everyone.

I got Brock because I didn't like any of the investments in QB's this draft.  I wanted to find a cheaper way to upgrade my QB, and instead, build around him.

 

I really like Brock's potential, too.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Two 4ths, four 5ths and two 6ths right now.  I'm accumulating picks!

I'll give you Brandon Weeden for all of them...

[T3hRaven]

Just a helpful reminder, the most common cap errors so far have been on trades. Remember, the base salary of players you receive gets added to your salaries and the cap hit - dead money of departing players gets removed. It might be easiest just to worry about player salaries in your trade calculations and keep the stuff for draft picks up in that section of the SoF.
