That is true...I am actually kinda excited just to take whoever I get, I had a hard time trying to decide who I actually wanted when thinking before.

 

On a side is it stated anywhere when salaries are set. By this I mean if/when Joe Flacco restructures what date is our cutoff to count the restructure or any changes that occur contract wise?

We'll lock that in at some point a bit down the road.  Hard to really lock too much in when we don't have teams yet, but we'll be discussing dates for everything here in the next few days.

I believe the cutoff date is the monday after the SB

Hawkprey going with that #1 overall pick

yep, didn't have them in my top 10 teams, but I certainly understand the reasoning @hawkprey

[ludy51]

Woah. Miami? I believe they only have, like 1 million in total cap space

[rmw10]

And Crush going for another challenge this year, after dealing with that mess called the Saints last year.

[ravensdan]

Miami?  That is a surprise pick. I figured they'd be one of the last. Count me not a believer in their QB

Things are already going my way

[rmw10]

And there's the least surprising pick of the team selection process.

Don't get too happy. You'll probably end up with the one team in negative cap space

[Inqui]

I really wanted the Raiders, but when I saw the draft order I knew that wasn't happening.

[ludy51]

I knew it. I just knew that I'd need a top 3 pick to land the raiders

[52520Andrew]

Actually had Miami as an underrated pick and hoped they would slide.

My #1 team

[berad]

Good amount of cap space, good roster, not much dead money or bad contracts, and not a ton of impending FAs. Feeling good about the Packers.

He did say it was a shocker.  Looks like rmw likes challenges.

Mine as well

[52520Andrew]

Miami has a 23.5 mil cap boost in store and whatever people want to give Crush for Suh

[ludy51]

Oakland the only of my 10 teams to get selected

[RavensFanMania]

@NFLfan123 took my top choice.  Well I knew I had no chance of landing the Raiduhs.

[GrimCoconut]

I remember when Oakland was the team nobody wanted lol.

The Packers were on my shortlist. Can't really argue with that pick.

Amazing what a QB and talent in general will do.  Not to take anything away from cap space.

[rmw10]

5 of my 7 remaining.  8 of you people in front of me.

[ludy51]

Is lost online?

Really high chance you will get one of them. Values/interests regarding teams are so different in this game

[52520Andrew]

@LosT_in_TranSlatioNYou are up

I'm hoping so.  I'm 99.9% sure at least 2 of those teams are going, but holding out hope for the other 3.

Yeah I think we all have a good feeling who you are going for(unless you are tempted by another situation that is pretty good itself)

A certain young QB that I took in the DaF last year.

Negative last I checked

I honestly had the most fun of all years last year with the Saints awful cap situation. Barely did anything in the abyss that is FA. Still negative this year, but not -20 something. I've now gone from Jacksonville's barren roster (pre-Bortles draft), to the Saints and Dolphins cap situation. I love the challenge presented.

Figured they would be one of the last teams selected, but I want the challenge. I believe in Tannehill, which helps.

Yep, I wasn't playing mind games after all!

Shhh...

It is actually very easy to clear cap space for Miami.

You did play mind games with us lol and it wasn't going to be secret for long

That certain QB was my 2nd choice, but not much blowing up is needed for that team. This isn't like Brees last year where I need to do it (still was negative after that trade!), but it'd obviously help a lot.
