All this talk about the o-line makes me wonder why a particular team is dropping but also some teams left have good enough lines as well. 

Well, with my team, the Jags, I felt I was solid at LT, C, and RG. An upgrade at RT would be nice and I will need a new LG, but it wasn't as dire for me as a team like the Bengals or the Packers with several backups leaving.

I knew things were progressing too good to keep going at the rate it was at.

Ludy was around like 1 hour before the last pick. Then he got eaten by a black hole

[ArsenalRaven666]

Had Green Bay, Patriots, Browns, Titans, Jags, Bengals, Buccs, Raiders.... and then can say any others as only went upto 8.

Each team had advandages/disadvantages with cap/picks or flaws within the squad.

I am surprised one team is still available. Not the prettiest draft position but very good team overall with not much work required.

I would say there are 2 teams I can think of fitting the bill from my scribbles

Poll on how did that happen:

1. problems with girlfriend
2. great time with girlfriend
3. underage drinking
4. lost interest due to the Browns gone

[JoeyFlex5]

in what order does the process play out? im guessing after the team selection it goes: 

1. tendering

2. free agency 

3. draft 

am i in the ball park? trying to get all my info sorted out

Sounds about right.

And it'll actually be different waves of FA broken down by positional group.

[JO_75]

@ravensdan is now up, and then I'll make my selection immediately after to keep this going. I do have Dubs picks if he is isn't online in order to make his selection.

Yes. Also trades/cuts can be done throughout the process.

Be prepared for a surprise in FA. The spending is absurd.

[GrimCoconut]

When can we start talking trades again?

When everyone gets a team

[ArsenalRaven666]

Really regretting my choice now,  think i will be on a coarse and have minimal time online when free agency kicks in.

Is there any timeline for when each stage will happen ??

Hahahahahaha....

If Dan doesn't take a particular team then with my history in this game and making very, very poor choices and decisions..... boy are you all going to be mad.

[JO_75]

I just can't get over that picture rmw used for the Patriots. It's like Edelman is about to puke all over Brady.

At least I don't curse an entire team with bad luck like rmw does. I'm waiting for the bad news to start pouring in from Green Bay.

Yep. By the way, we're working on a new system this year for the SoFs. It'll be done via Google Sheets. The pages and formulas will be set up so it'll essentially just require plugging in names, positions and values. The only calculation we'll need people to do is converting the total starting cap into Stars, and subtracting it from the league cap number.

The 49ers are that perfect blank slate team that you can find in the middle of this team selection process. Similar to the Browns, but they have a less solid OL with a little less cap space and about the same when it comes to draft picks.

Correct.

I think KO got to like 30M last year.

Browns have two 1sts including the no1 and 12 with two 2nds two 3rds (one of the compensationary picks went to Pats)

So far without taking any cap hits can get upto $140mil cap space releasing/trading players ... can possible get that nearer $160mil if i lose some

Was that just because he was a Raven or did other players go for that kind of amounts ??

Looking through last years threads seems most deals were reasonable
