Fun mock drafting game

[Bink]

That is very possible.

I think picking the "right" guy is probably how you get the best score and that includes the mid-late rounds which are harder. I think I successfully mapped out the 1st round guys back on pg8 but I miss on the mid-late round guys a lot. "A" isn't enough. You've got to consistently get either the highest rated guy or close to it and on top of that I think you get a bonus for value if a guy falls or if you can trade back and still get a highly rated guy.

I just completed another one fresh off recording the podcast last night. Needless to say, @Cyrus and @notsolegato's scouting reports definitely influenced this one.

R5#20 is good value for Commings.

Gaines and purcell are both As in the mid to late 6th.

Gaines and purcell are both As in the mid to late 7th.

 

yeah but who else was available?

 

These are grades based on a mathematical equation of some sort. There's an issue w/ this draft and w/ Bink's that didn't score well w/ that equation. We're just not seeing it.

[Jamalisms]

Could also score based on how others teams do? Whoever did best in this round = certain multiplier...

I decided to help the Baltimore Ravens out since they are in first place.

 

Your score is: 472 (Drafting Ability: F, Player Quality C-, Future Draft Picks: D-)

 

I took the Gene Smith approach and selected all of the punters, until they ran out of punters.  They actually liked the kid from LSU in the 6th round.  Must've seen something in him.  I know I did.
