This game isn't nearly as big of a commitment as draft a franchise. No math involved. Or researching unknown rookies. Maybe that will encourage some new players. It's a fun exercise.

I think you mean the forum mock, but I agree. I don't think anyone cares who had the best or worst teams from last year - at most it's cool to see how your own guys pan out during the season - and the most meaningful thing about this game is that it fills the time until the preseason.

Did grim not decide to play this year?

He's still pissed that Drummond didn't sign with the Ravens.

I like this one better than the Mock Offseason.

Less work involved?

Here's last year's draft:

I assume 20 QBs will go into the 1st Round.

 

Being in the last 10 in the 1st Round means, you have to build a super defense or a stud WR Corps.

I don't have the time this year and one game was enough for me. I'll just watch and give my opinions every so often when I have time to check. But thanks for thinking of me.

Lol nice one. I'm actually not even upset.

[allblackraven]

In all seriousness though, if you can think of a board member who might be interested in participating, PM them about the game. I feel like the problem is people don't come into the Fantasy Talk area right now.

PMd beanfiger and andrew - former is out (no time) and andrew is also busy but might turn up if we're couple players short.

Did he specify if we were more than a couple short? Because I suspect that may end up being the case.

 

And besides, someone has to draw the worst position.

Sorry to see this isn't getting filled.  I'd participate, but I wouldn't be around near enough to keep even a semblance of a quality pace.

If you were sorry you'd have signed up.

You should consider going back to uni and do some postgrad or something.

I drafted at 26th in the first and got Romo. It can be done.

Welcome newcomers. We are very happy to have you on board. I just wanted to give you a heads up that this process will likely take several weeks and each pick has a 12 hour time limit so constant participation is a must. Thanks for joining!

[NebraskaRavensFan44]

So are we required to have a team name?

[ravensdan]

Team name :  The Knowhere Infinity
