MBBRL D1 2023 rookie draft thread

[TREFF]

@broncosmitty , @Robotech , @Chef99 , @SteelersPride , @HaroldSeattle , @Yellow Fuzzies @leftypower , @Clemson74 @Bandit , @MilkSpiller22 , @obxyankeefan , @Barilko , @Trudem , @TKOSpikes , and @Ram Tough

1. Draft time is almost here, and since OBX posted the D2 thread, may as well get this on going as well.
2. Draft is slow, online, here on the hoop.
3. 1st round is 24 hours per pick, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds are reduced to 18 hours per pick. If real life happens and you may miss a pick, please let us know, accommodation can be made, but please communicate. If you're simply incommunicado, your pick will be skipped. Skipped picks can be made at anytime and are always considered to be OTC.
4. Draft is "drop and draft" format- if you have an open spot, you do not have to make a drop. If you do not have an open roster spot, a drop must be made in order to make a pick.
5. Drops are currently open, you can drop players now, or wait until your pick is OTC to do so, your choice
6. you do not have to use all your draft picks, but if you declare a pick "pass" here in this thread on the hoop, you cannot trade it 5 minutes later, it is gone forever.
7. If a pick is made, and your roster does not have the space, and you did not declare or make a drop, you have until your pick's timer runs out to rectify the illegal roster, or the player picked returns to the pool of available players, and your pick converts to OTC status and can be re-made at anytime.
8. All available free agents, and players dropped during the draft, in addition to all rookies, are draft eligible.
9. your roster must be able to conform to a legal lineup once the draft is ended. No dropping kickers for a pick and planning to add a kicker later prior to week one. The ability to post a legal roster must be maintained. During the draft itself, this is suspended, however, by the end of the draft, that legal roster must be restored or the final pick made will be voided and your roster locked from additional moves until the roster is legal. i.e.- you can drop a kicker or D or whatever, for your first rounder or whatever, but by the time you use your last available pick, that position must be re-filled.
10. theres possibly more I need to say, but I ran out of time before I got a chance to post-sorry for anything missed!

Here's at least a couple things that were forgotten above-

Draft officially starts Monday, May 8th, 8AM eastern. That's when the first 24 hour timer begins. However, picks can be made at any point from now until then. (with me currently holding #1.1, I would anticipate a pick or a trade by tomorrow evening in fact).
Trading a pick DOES NOT reset its timer. example- If I deal the 1.1 at the 23 hour and 55 minute mark, whoever I dealt it to has 5 minutes to use it.


Current rosters- maximum of 20 players at all times-
Barilko - 20
BS TigerCanes- 20
Me- 20
FuzzyPower- 20
Harold- 20
OBX -20
Milk -19
Ram -20
Smitty - 20
Chef -20
SP -20
Trudem -20
TKO -20
Robo- 20

Only MilkSpiller could currently make a pick without a drop.

And now the real decision comes...

First two were easy

 

[Chef99]

As always, this is an RB driven league.

It may make our next one easier though. .....

 

[TREFF]

Well that, but even if not, those 2 SHOULD be the top two picks in everything but 2QB leagues, this year anyways.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Im not picking until tomorrow at some point... giving people time to give me the best offers for that spot... you know who you are...

I agree that the top 2 were clear for this league... in standard... not sure about PPR... even though both are big PPR backs, but maybe a WR might squeeze their way to the number 2 spot... if the lions only had one stud RB then maybe it would be cut and dry...

They do. They just drafted him.

.there were two solid backs in Detriot, there were no studs, zero.
And if there was a stud WR in the draft, yea sure, make it a debate..but there aint, at least none on paper currently projected to be one. No Jefferson, Chase, no Olave, Wilson..etc

 

[Chef99]

I don't have a dog in this fight. Not yet, anyway. Hey @MilkSpiller22 , make me an offer!

 

[TREFF]

Yea what you said..Monty is no threat, he's nice, he'll be a solid C.O.P., but when a game is on the line, they're not going to Monty, not unless Gibbs is a bust

I assume Monty leads the team in carries. And most likely touches too.
