July Madness: All Time Draft Discussion Thread

BigO vs. Long Island Leprechaun.

So my first task is to game plan for Jim Thorpe. You can't make this stuff up...

Seriously, should be a challenging match up. But I'm wondering how Arnie Weinmeister is going to feel after he encounters Earl Campbell.

Here he is on the Bay Bridge right after he heard the news:

Here's one of Arnie running full tilt. Earl Campbell is just out of the picture, chasing him:

 We should all probably use the same thing. 

Where do you want us to post them in this thread?

post em here.

I'll let people post in whatever format they use. I say that because I'd like to see over the next week or so which format tends to be favored. Then next time we'll have a good idea what is preferred by the broad voting audience.

64 Otto Graham* 8 nyjunc O QB

351 Tiki Barber 8 nyjunc O RB
417 William Andrews 8 nyjunc O RB

321 Gary Clark 8 nyjunc O WR
130 Shannon Sharpe* 8 nyjunc O TE
8 Anthony Munoz* 8 nyjunc O OL

But you two are a great match up. You both have two of the best teams tbh.

 

Yep, you'll both end up advancing.  Only 6 of the 22 teams will get eliminated in the 1st round.

Wait, so if you lose the round 1 match up. You aren’t automatically eliminated?

No.  The 11 winners plus 5 "Wild Cards" advance.  The wild cards are based on the % vote the losers received in round 1.

The seeding for round 2 would be the top winners are seeded 1-11.  The 12-16 seeds will be the highest % losers.  The 1-seed faces the 16-seed, 2 faces 15, etc.  The 8 winners in round 2 advance to the quarterfinals. 

This was deemed to be the most fair way to do it, because we don't know yet who will be getting the toughest 1st round matchups.  Round 2 is when the seeding begins, thus telling us who the "favorites" are.

Can we just do a thread with votes for each game? Or is that too much?

This would be my preference, yes.  We post each matchup as a thread, maybe posting 2 matchups per day, with a voting deadline for each of, say, 24 hours?

Oh it’s not head to head? However you guys do it is cool  

H2H winners in round 1 will be seeded 1-11 in round 2, so there's still a big advantage to the winners in round 1.  But we wanted to give some of the losers a "second chance", since so many of the teams in the field are very strong. 

Round 2 begins the "knockout phase".  8 winners move on, the other 8 are done.

In this type of thing there’s only 3 major difference makers at QB jmo but Marino, Peyton and Elway

I'm still kind of regretting taking Favre in round 2.  I could have waited on QB and still gotten a solid one, while taking someone like Bo Jackson in round 2.

RB-Thurman Thomas

FB-Mike Alstott

WR-Fred Biletnikoff

WR-John Stallworth

TE-Jackie Smith

LT-Art Shell

LG-Bruce Matthews

C-Jim Ringo 

RG-Jim Tyrer

RT-Damien Woody

OLB-Lawrence Taylor

ILB-Zach Thomas

ILB-Nick Buoniconti

CB-Charles Woodson

CB-Richard Sherman

Offense is a balanced attacking utilizing both RBS in the run game.  Passing game is heavy on play action, and spreading the targets evenly, including both RBs.

3-4 Defense

Really good team Hawkeye!!! Your OL sticks out as really strong and your edge rush may be the best of all teams. Weakness for all intents to me is a little bit up the middle defensively and your rushing attack. Really like your WR DUO, especial considering value of where you got both. Huge steals.

I think Kyle Williams and Zach Thomas are more than enough for run-stopping purposes, no?
