Mock Draft Chat

[femurov]

Players had to play a game in the 1990 season or later, a player that played one game in 1989 or earlier is not eligible.

So, their 1st game has to be in 1990 or later?

Yes. For that idea.

If we did it where the player had to have played in one game in 1990 or any time later (so last season played in 1990), the pool would be HUGE. Which would be fun but I would say we would have restrictions which is tough when there will be guys picked that were rookies last year...

I've got an idea for a draft or drafts, that's been breached before, it may suck, but it's different.
In NFL, the first five rounds, you can select anyone one want, even if that player has been drafted before. Any player can be drafted by up to 4 different teams, but once that player is drafted, his clock starts immediately, and anyone else that drafts him must take him within one physical round. I think this starts some strategy, because you might say, if player A was taken, the next three guys might take him as well, but one of those guys might want to start the clock on a different guy. This can go on through round 6, then all players picked are off the board and it's one pick per player after that

So some teams will have the same players?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I say soon we do an off-the-wall crazy draft, possibly one of Milk's ideas. (Possibly, but most likely not)

Correct

Correct. Don't see it mattering in this. If say you take Moss and so do I, it will come down to who I have covering him and who I have around him. We can only do this through six rounds(or 4, whatever)

I have an idea for this one.

@femurov ...

I mentioned it before and it got some "Hmm..." type responses. I think I remember someone saying something to the effect of we should save this idea until we really feel like shaking it up.

Anyway, we throw everyone in the pot (maybe do a year restriction, but it doesn't really matter) and we draft 3 franchises (or 4), an NBA, an NFL, and a MLB (4 if NHL). The idea is that you could draft Kareem in the 1st and Lawrence Taylor in the 2nd and Lou Gehrig in the 3rd. We have 3 (or 4) separate playoffs where we give points to the top 4 in each sport. We count the points and crown an overall champion. We could even choose cities for our franchises if you want.

So basically kinda like an Olympics sort of points system for ex:

1st place - 4 points
2nd place - 3 points
3rd place - 2 points
4th place - 1 points

We do that for all 3 sports. But basically it is one huge draft? 22 rounds NFL, 5 rounds NBA, maybe 18 rounds MLB to combine them into one 45 round draft? That could be interesting.

I don't know bout that one...

What about the 1990 through present with a cap? AP All Pro is $2 per, Pro Bowl is $1 per, No all star's are free. Also, MVP is an extra $2 per, OPOY and DPOY an additional $1 per

That seems like a lot. I say cut out OPOY/DPOY and keep the rest. I like the idea.

If All-Pro and Pro Bowl in same year it only counts for All-Pro.

What do you think about this idea? @SteelersPride

 

[CitySushi]

What about a teammates draft for NFL.

The premise would be that you draft the standard 24 players, 12 offense and 12 defense. You would have to draft players who played at least 2 seasons with another player.

So for example say you draft Lawrence Taylor. Since he played his entire career with the Giants, you would need to draft another Giant player who played with him at some point for 2 years. So you couldn't pair him with say Michael Strahan. It would specifically have to be another Giant who played with him during his career.

You also couldn't pair Deion Sanders with Steve Young because they only played 1 year together. But you can pair him with anyone during his tenure during with the Falcons, Cowboys or Ravens if they played together for 2 years.

You don't need to take the players back to back, which adds a bit more into the strategy on when to take certain players. At the end of the draft, you would need to have essentially 12 pairings of players who had played with each other.

No Cap
Draft Range could be 1965-2005

 

[femurov]

You have to pair EVERY player? That could get rough. Maybe like, pair up your 1st 5 picks. They can't have been teammates themselves.

Yeah I agree with this. 24 players total but maybe you NEED 4 pairs of teammates (had to play 2 seasons or more together on the same team for those 2 seasons). Since we only have 4 pairs we make this a salary cap too

 

[femurov]

Any 4 players have to have teammates, or or your 1st four chosen, or any player selected in the first 4 rounds? Those are 3 different things.

Any 8 players (4 sets of 2 players) have to have teammates, doesn't matter where they are picked. That means there will be 4 sets of 2 teammates that had to play with each other for 2 seasons or more on the same team.

Ex: Derek Anderson - Braylon Edwards (played in 06, 07, 08 and 09 together in CLE) - first set
Drew Bledsoe - Curtis Martin (played in 95, 96, 97 together in NE) - second set
...third set
...fourth set
