Tough Draft

By Big Poppa

Judging by the owners in this league, I knew this draft was gonna be a challenge. Those last 10 or 12 rounds were excruciating.



On another note, I've never seen so many slow DB's and fast O-line in all my mfn days...
I know speed is relative of position but ****. I wish JDB would just use 40 times instead of a speed rating that means different things for different positions. But I digress. :)

Hope everyone got some nuggets! lol

Yeah, this was my first allocation draft. Looks like I may have screwed up not taking DBs in the earlier rounds. That's my biggest weakness right now (besides maybe QB).

I'm with you, kicker! I had big plans for DB, but may have hosed it....hard to say. At times I feel confident it went well and other times I feel like I may have just drafted the "real" Army team.

BP, you're right about the Vol thing.....gonna be a big deal.

This was my first A-draft, too. One of those in a RL year and I'm good!

I love allocation drafts. This was number 5 and one more in a week. Definitely time consuming and mentally draining as I agonize over every pick. Something to be said about building your own team though. 4 of those were all defense based and one was a mix. I think the next will be all offense. All that said, the talent in this one was kinda thin. Lots of fringe players banking on a boom at TC to even make the roster. Hate to see if they bust, their overall might go negative!

My Draft was a relative train wreck after the first day or so... It was EXTREMELY tough getting a good O-Line put together, but I think I have solid starters in place with a couple of lightning-in-a-bottle runners.

The Cardinals are gonna be tree-log-rolling people this season! Heh.

As with Mcarovil I to love the allocation draft and have had a few more, I think this one was 16
with 3 others going on now and at least 2 coming up! You think I would know what to draft by
now, to me they are not the same and some are better for some spots! When you have the next
pick and your guy gets picked by the owner ahead of you, what a moment of defeat, then you
snag the next guy out from under the other owner, what a moment of success!
