My biggest criticism would be using all of those picks instead of trying to move up. I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter of the draft class doesn't make the opening roster just because of the sheer volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like my options at 13 or whatever, so I traded back. Just missed the upper WR crust so decided to cross off the obligatory edge and dB picks. im picking for Denver, not myself. You don’t like Winfield? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure you were going to go Mims there, surprised you didn't, and thankful that you left him for me at 30. Duvernay, Hill, Lemieux, Bartch, Lynch -- some really nice value in the middle rounds.

TBH I don't know all that much about any defensive player besides the big names and how they tested. I refuse to waste any more of my time looking at defensive prospects. It looks like we both agreed on my biggest criticism by trading down and drafting too many players. Almost Idzikian with the amount of players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'm guilty of forgetting to consider DEN's scheme... my thinking was just pure value... Miller is gonna slow down and I see Epenesa as more of a true DE... That, and I (to a fault) think about the *type* of WR.... Mims and Sutton would be competing for X snaps and I wanted to a true Z and or Slot guy (Duvernay & Hill)... Plus i wanted to do something less predictable. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scoring system is skewed by the teams that have numerous late round picks and is why everyone keeps trying to trade down. You hit on a couple 6th or 7th rounders and you probably win the trophy. I prefer to see how my selections fare over time because that is the true test and it's why I've traded up twice even without my original first and third. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you draft Chase young at 3 and he goes 2 you pick up one point. Now draft a guy in the 7th that goes in the 4th and you are a genius.

Hoarding late round picks won’t matter when I don’t score the draft this year. Maybe it is with everything else going on right now, but I am not planning on taking the time to score this thing. Started out as a fun little way to compare our drafts to the NFL. But the truth is the winner is usually just lucky. Someone picks a guy or two late that goes much earlier than anyone expected.Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not speaking for anyone else, but since I traded back more than anyone else I feel this is aimed partially towards me.. I'm trading back for two reasons.. one because I didn't feel like anyone left on the board merited that pick, or there wasn't anyone who I felt like I needed to take at that spot. Second because it's a lot more fun to have more picks imo. My 7th round is gonna be entertaining. That's it. I never did very well with the whole scoring system. I think it's interesting, and would be nice to do well, but it isn't my motivation for trades or picks.

Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app Id just keep it simple. You get points for anyone you drafted on your team if that team actually drafts him. Regardless of round. Simple. And it actually keeps the draft on the up and up if people want to get it right. You can add little twists for points by position. If I think Baltimore is drafting 2 IOL and they draft 2 IOL, then some points for that. If I get the player right, then even more points. Don't care about what round it is.

No, it wasn't specifically targeting your team, and honestly, I wasn't buying into the points thing anyway. Some teams just had an inordinate number of picks to begin with, like NE. I think the comment was made by Paradis that no team would ever keep so many picks because it guarantees an inflated % of draftees that get cut and that would equate to a significant waste of draft capital. I don't think anyone except JiF really cares about the contest. But I kind of like the idea of player to team matching points as some sort of replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
