I am straight murdering this draft.
Posted via Mobile Device

My ends are going to murder your QB.

Player Position
Antonio Gates TE
Chris D. Johnson HB
Da'Quan Bowers DE
Jarrell Powe NT
Jeremy Maclin WR
Jonathan Baldwin WR
Marcus Cannon G
Peyton Manning QB
Roddy White WR
Sebastian Vollmer RT (make that LT)
Tandon Doss WR
Terrell Suggs DE


If you are in league 2, Stop Me. I dare you.

Just don't plan on running between the tackles.

Chris Long DE
Gerald McCoy DT
Ndamukong Suh DT
Tyson Alualu DT
Casey Matthews ILB
Patrick Willis ILB
Roy Helu HB
Derek Sherrod LT
Cam Newton QB
Matthew Stafford QB
Joseph Barksdale RT
Mike Williams WR

Fixed.

Cascading errors.

1. Original player DB did not contain K and P, so I stuck those after the rookies.
2. When the site crashed on Friday, I had to rebuild the DB and accidentally put all of the players at the end of the DB, including K and P, in the rookie draft.
3. Once I learned this, I moved the K and P back to the veteran's draft, but there was still a K or P on someone's rookie draft board.
4. When the autopick came up to that player, it was no longer in the rookie DB and boned the whole rookie draft for league 2.

Looks like every rookie pick in league 1 will be on the clock by the end of the evening.

Why would I need to run between the tackles? I can go 3wide + Gates & Johnson; I can go four wide + Johnson; I can go empty backfield; I can do so many things...I saw everyone loading up on interior DL early in the draft so I went with my strength (Peyton) and loaded up on recievers and a HB that can take it to the outside.

Your fatboys will be huffing and puffing as the Aurora Borealis lights up the sky.

I wonder if Carl ever called anyone up and talked like this.

Well, Patrick Willis says:

Will the undrafted rookies go in the general pool?

That's almost exactly what happened at Chernobyl.

We're looking to win now. What else ya got?

I just drafted Dumervil so I can sit his Bronco a** on the bench and ruin his career. I'm Al Davis when it comes to Broncos.

Anyone in league 2 looking to move up? I have 178 available.

30 picks made today, 9 people on the clock.

STEAL OF THE ROOKIE DRAFT

Patrick Willis can destroy all the immobile cardboard dummies that he wants, we're gonna take it to the house and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Up to 36 picks :clap:

Whew I was worried I wasn't going to get a good LT.

You got a decidedly average one.

When you're ready to trade for Castanzo, let me know.

Dude gave up 3 sacks all of last year.

Don't make me bust the PFF on you.

:D

Doooo it

Yep. We won't get access to them until the first Sandbox season is over.

37th rated PB OT

57th rated RB OT

But he's young so perhaps he'll be above average this year.

I like my matchup, though.

Tony G just went? **** me.

There are several tight ends I'd rather have still on the board. TG averaged 9 yards a catch last year.

If Dumervil has a good year, it will be fun to watch you try to decide between using a Bronco or handicapping your team.

Question for our esteemed admins - will there be any designation given to what kind of stadiums and weather our teams play in? Domes? Open? Cold? Wet? Etc?

Weather and venues probably won't be in the first year evaluation process, but could be added down the road.

The exception being, all games by the Independence Vision will be played in the mud.

*drafts dome kicker*

When can we make UFA deals official? I've been on the phone with Andrew Gachkar's agent all evening.

I sent him some prostitutes.

I just want to know when I can sign Plaxico Burress.

I let him use my yacht

Hmmmm...the trade system won't let me select certain players to trade for. They don't even appear on the other team's roster.

Example?

This guy is supposed to have Nnamdi Asomguha from pick #40

http://sandboxsimulations.com/index....how_roster/152

Hey! Where's my Nnamdi?!:cuss:

Can you see him if you try to propose a trade?

Negative, Ghost Rider.

OK. I have 224 and 232 tomorrow.

Maybe we could work out a deal for Asomugha?

Okay, that was weird. Fixed. Any others? I 'm not sure if that was due to some of my manual db manipulation or a systematic bug in the software.

And you're throwing in Brady?

Thank you, sir. My defensive backfield looks much better now.

ROFL

Is that would it would take?

I also have 238 and 243. :D

I looked at some of the other early picks and they showed up, but hard to say.

224, 232 and Brady is straight.

LOL

Brady is not for sale.

Alright... Just trying to help you out.

I hope I get to play you.

I haven't really had time to research most of my picks so far. There is some really solid talent left on the board.

Yeah it's nuts. It's making me SERIOUSLY consider passing up positions of need and just taking BPA and try and pull some trades off.

Reducing the teams from 32 to 24 makes a huge difference in the concentration of talent. You kind of have to adjust your thinking, because the competition is going to be that much better.

Rookie picks tend to be really discounted in year 1, but down the road that will be one of the premier ways to fill needs and bring new talent onto your team.

I've had a 20-25 deep draft board for 2 days. Only one guy has been plucked from it.

224 should be available for trade this morning.

Bug on Alex Green:

http://sandboxsimulations.com/index....how_roster/150

And that makes you feel good about your draft board?

(Heh heh.)

I hate to be "that guy" but I'm chuckling over some of the picks that have come down.

Kyle Vanden Bosch?

Roy Williams?

224 up for trade

I've got my guy all picked out. In fact, I've even given him a Duluth team hat for the press conference.

Marcedes Lewis, nice pick. I was thinking about him later this round.

I hope I get to play you too.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU there goes Plaxico.

I was thinking no one would notice he snuck into the draft pool yesterday.

My team is shockingly strong.

Rashard Mendenhall HB
Philip Rivers QB
Hakeem Nicks WR
DeSean Jackson WR
Randall Cobb WR (Rookie)
Robert Housler TE (Rookie)
Jordan Gross LT
Jason Pinkston RT (Rookie)
Chris Prosinski FS (Rookie)
Shaun Phillips OLB
Elvis Dumervil OLB
Bruce Carter OLB (Rookie)
Da'Quan Bowers DE (Rookie)
Kevin Williams DT
Kyle Williams DT
Terrell McClain DT (Rookie)

Are you going to play Kevin Williams and Kyle Williams in a 3-4?

Lol

According to an article I read last night, Plaxico worked his legs and core out so much in prison that he can jump even higher than he did before.

I don't know what he's gonna do in NY but I'm thinking at the very least he's gonna be a badass red zone threat. He would have been perfect in my offense.

I'm just trying to have a balance offense with a balance defense

Nope. Classic 4-3. Hence Bowers as a classic pass-rushing DE.

So what are you planning to do with Phillips and Dumervil? Or are you sticking Doom at end?

I think I'll have to figure out how the position changing works in our game. It's a good thing and a bad thing to have Dumervil listed as an OLB when the Broncos are going to use him as a DE. I'm not sure where I can/will put him, so it may just depend on who else I get to start in the other slot. Right now, my preferred strategy would be to put him at DE, but I'm open.

Phillips is easy. Classic strong-side linebacker who can also rush the passer.

AustinChief just drafted the oldest player in NFL history.

I've said it before, but damn my team is going to be boring to watch. We'll punch you in the mouth, though:

Akeem Ayers OLB (R)
Alex Mack C
Ben Roethlisberger QB
Bilal Powell HB (R)
Charles Woodson CB
Darnell Dockett DE
Edmond Gates WR (R)
Jimmy Smith CB (R)
Joe Thomas LT
Jonathan Vilma MLB
Jordan Cameron TE (R)
Kris Dielman G
Lance Briggs OLB
Nick Fairley DT
Orlando Franklin RT (R)
Sidney Rice WR
Trent Cole DE

At 24 years old?

Look again.

See your point, kids a baller though... Nice to see him ressurect his career "The Natural" style after a brief three year career cut short by drugs, alcohol abuse and dangerous, loose women.

Nope.

Look...again.

He had a three year career with the Chiefs that ended too soon in 1981. Only three games played after a shootout following a local pimp about a woman. Now he has recovered from near paralysis to come back to the NFL after 30 years and be the all pro blocking full back he was meant to be. It's a real heartfelt story.

I like the experience he brings to the table.

I'm just trying to have a balanced WIN with my opponents balanced LOSS.
