If it was the 2013 draft it would be different. We already have a year + a second off season of info on these guys.
At this point, it's just sorting out who has already washed out of the league.
All that's going to happen today (and tomorrow) is people googling names to not draft someone already out of the league.
That's boring as shit, no matter how much I enjoy this game.
So yes, do it, do it now.

I dropped the ball sort of with my Center. I thought the German was still playing & didn't realize until last night that he hung it up in 2011.

Realize the 7th round won't net me anything but would move a pick next year to get me a starter.

lmk please, tia.

I might be able to work something out. Take a look at Seattle undertakers and see if anything strikes your fancy.

I assume the veteran draft will work the same way (autopick+go to bed=butts in seats). When will the veteran draft take place and what players will be drafted?

We did the full veteran draft last year. That's how most of the players made their way to your team.

This year we will have a free agency bidding period, where you bid on available free agents. It's not a draft, it's an open bidding system. That pool will have a few gems, but won't be incredibly deep this year. The next time we do free agency (January) it should get a little more interesting.

There's something about the final pick that gets magnified in importance. I feel like it's my last chance to fill a hole or find a talented guy, so I worry about it.

rtmike · 05-26-2013, 08:28 AM

Thanks for the Center offers fellas'.

I couldn't pass up my choice of 2 Pro Bowlers & the manager didn't insult my knowledge..or lack of...with whacked offers', lol
No siree, I'm quite good at that on my own.

That recent trade one team got killed

brorth · 05-26-2013, 10:57 AM

22 Josh Gordon
46 Vick Ballard
70 Kirk Cousins
94 Travis Benjamin
118 Gino Gradkowski
142 Ladarius Green
166 Matt Johnson

After losing in the Semis, the Lights felt the sting of a weak receiving corps and general lack of depth at skill positions for a long, long, long time.
The GM moved quickly to put a legit threat across from Mike Williams full time. The addition of Gordon allows Brandon Gibson to concentrate on one position, while Plaxico Burress and Travis Benjamin are both solid 4th options.
Vick Ballard should do well taking some of the load from Matt Forte, and Kirk Cousins might provide future flexibility at the QB position should his real life starting QB not be able to answer the bell.
Gradkowski provides interior depth, as well as being a possible starting Center.
Green is a project, but could pay big dividends to a team uncertain about about Gronkowski's ability to contribute long term.
Johnson's eventual development would allow Glover Quin to move to Free Safety if Kenny Phillips can't stay healthy.
These moves should help keep The Lights on into the playoffs!

Why do you say it like that? Grow some balls if you're gonna call someone out. Here, let me help. Damn, Kansas City Fubar or Pompano Beach Pandas was raped with an aids tree for approving that last trade.

-----------------------------------------------

Imo, it depends how you look at it. A. Hernandez has the name, catches balls from Tom Brady so he's in the news a lot.

Hernandez hasn't played a full season yet, close in '11 & '10 with 14. 10 games last year. It goes to show he may have an injury bug.
Little stays healthy but no big numbers.

D. Alexander proved he's a better playmaker than Little but can't stay healthy.
Kalil completes my O line. A line I'm sure you wish you had for those big time RB's U have.

I'm not trying to win it all right away. I'm trying to get both lines built first.

First year or two its the D & controlling the clock with my running game. If I gave away an above average injury prone, less than full time starter TE & average WR & a 3rd rounder to establish a solid running game, so be it.

Sorry but your Center selection left a lot to be desired. I never thought twice. But having the pick of Chris Meyers & Ryan Kalil!! Wowser. There is no wrong choice. Now if we got to pick a zone blocking scheme I would have went with Meyers.

I dont understand, you should have commented on the trade I turned down yesterday? Now that was a team killer but you instead singled this one out?
I hope this isn't sour grapes.

Was going to update the draft since it's over, but can't seem to get it to pull up....I keep getting a wall of error messages

rtmike · 05-26-2013, 12:41 PM

Yeah, me too. I get the same error messages when trying to message the "administrator".
It works if I include a manager but not the admin. by itself.
