NFL Franchise Unit Mock Draft : CHAT

[Shanemansj13]

An all-time franchise unit draft...Instead of a player, you draft a franchise unit. Player belongs to the franchise that he started the most games for in his career...example, Joe Montana is a Niner, not a Chief...

To qualify a player for a franchise:
First, most games with that team
If he has same number of games, it's franchise the player first played for.

The draft would be 14 rounds and break down like this:

QB/KR - 2
RB - 3
WR/TE - 6
OL - 6
DL - 5
LB - 5
Secondary - 7

Each GM would get to pick two franchises the 7 position groupings, making the draft 14 rounds. Example would be me taking the Steelers LB's in one round and the Giants LB's in another. When we set our rosters, I could pick any five LB's I wanted from those two teams.

- You can ONLY select a maximum of 2 groupings from one franchise.
- There is NO maximum/minimum number of players you can select from your groupings.
Ex: You have Pittsburgh/NY Giants secondary and you have a total number of 6 positions to fill. You may take 5 from one franchise and 1 from the other.

TRADES: You can trade picks OR you can trade units doesn't matter on the groupings.

Once the 14 rounds are over, we would each then set our lineups. Each team would post

Offense - 17
Defense - 17

QB/KR-PR - 2
RB/FB/3rd down RB - 3
4 WR and 2 TE - 6
OL - 6
Front 10
CB's - 4
S's - 3

34 man roster from 14 picked rounds

We can discuss rules and years of the draft.

 

[Shanemansj13]

@tlance @ehb5 @broncosmitty @Bolts

I am guessing @Mebert is still out?

 

[Nosferatu]

HAHAHA you said unit

 

[Shanemansj13]

HAHAHA you said unit

So you are in then?

 

[femurov]

I think we can split up LB's and DL or no?

Yes. I think DL and LB should be separated.

I also think we should go back before 1970, but that's just me.

 

[femurov]

HAHAHA you said unit

Thank you.

 

[Mebert]

How the flying fuck did you guys finish baseball that fast?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yes. I think DL and LB should be separated.

I also think we should go back before 1970, but that's just me.

I agree 1950 or 1960 - 2000?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think there should not be a limit on "units" from one franchise overall but one person can't take more than 2 units from a specific franchise for their team.

 

[femurov]

And I think there should be a range of dates to exclude the current guys. Or some of the real new ones, anyway.

1950-2000

1950-2000

Using current players is better IMO because we bring in more franchises... very hard to draft anything from the newer franchises... I would say 1970-2010...

Lets say we set a max of 5 groupings per franchise...and we have 8 teams drafting...

Each team with have to draft 14 groupings x 8 teams = 112 groupings.

32 teams x 7 groupings = total of 221 possible groupings

5 max groups per franchise would be using over 22 teams....

and isn't that better than potentially only using 8??

 

[Shanemansj13]

and isn't that better than potentially only using 8??

Absolutely. This draft would definitely take a lot of work and research as well...especially with a max number of groupings per franchise

IMO research is the fun for these drafts... But my whole goal is to keep the draft important... what I fear, is that every team is going to be overly loaded AND that there is not much of a difference between players taken in the first round and the 14th(last) round...

 

[Bolts]

So we're drafting the best players in team history for the two different franchises?

You have 7 position groupings you have to fill, you use 2 franchises for each grouping. You can use a maximum of 2 groupings per franchise. So you will be using a total of 8 franchises at least to fill your squad and the different groupings.
