THE ALLOCATION DRAFT

Post by Jops »

Well, first thought as my pick hits the clock is, am I crazy? I figured it would be like a rookie draft and WR only, people definitely started a run

Anyway welcome to the 100/100 RR Vandergeiste, may your bars hold up

Quietly optimistic about Detroit. We do not have the same eyesight as the league scout lol but i feel like we are in the better end of the rosters to start the league at least!

I'm rusty, but I think training camp and PS2 will change a lot of our perceptions of our players. I feel like initial league drafts have a little more volatility involved, but it could just be having a whole team of new players makes it feel like there is a lot more changing going on.

Once PS2 clears, we will know a lot more about what we have on our rosters.

In Yuma, I think we might be decent if we can really run the ball, but I am regretting the first TE I took because I didn't realize he had a red flag. I got all excited about his run blocking and was blinded by it. I am also somewhat worried about the quality of our rookie selections because the league scout likes a lot of them a good deal more than my scout, but I can't say I know which direction my guys are actually trending because I don't have a strong mental reference point for whether or not different things happen with the talent pool in an initial draft. I also haven't ever done one where everyone worked with the same scouting info.

Overall I really enjoyed the process, I wish we had a reason to do those more often. The anticipation of the picks and the adjustment of my list was a constant source of intrigue and excitement as I speculated about how I could use each player and how they would fit in with what I already had on the roster. It's one of those couch GM itches that good management simulation games really scratch and this was like the perfect scratching device that gets to the hard to reach spots.

Well said brother! I myself took a safety earlier that was a red flag. Didn't see it. The whole process was beautiful! I think I only had like 3 picks that weren't on my list. THIS IS THE WAY!
