That basically puts 26 picks between the guy drafting first and this 2nd pick and then 24 for this second 2 picks and 22 for this 5th and 6th pick. That is one hell of a way to handicap the number 1 pick for sure. I kinda think each round should be a random 1 - 14 so it will completely mix it all up.

just my thoughts

No no. That could end up with people being picking early or late in every round. Not probable, but definitely POSSIBLE, and therefore, inherently unfair.

[Volkh]

Its like picking names out of a hat. Which i would take over the other way.

[Daser]

Since i dont know much about the NFL i should draft first each round...it is only fair....NFL is like soccer right, just played by pussies wearing alot of protective gear right?

Yeah i should absolutely draft first all the time, maybe even have more than 1 pick each round.

[teholbeddict]

Do we have any idea yet as to when we are strating our draft? I know we don't want to start too early, but we also need to allow time for this draft process we're going with.



Oh and I hate to break it to you SS but Arian Peterson is mine! I'll be happy to let you have Peyton though!

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I'm happy to start soon, preseason starts what, early August? So we should at least have started by then.

Draft-wise, what are we thinking method wise? I've put forward what I thought but, as I said I was drunk at the time (as I am slightly now incidentally), and so dont know. Volkh's suggestion I dont think is particularly fairer, plus we've got the issue of arranging independent draws for every round which is more hassle.

So vote for the normal way, the way I said might work, or nominate another.

Soon as we get most votes in, we'll go ahead.

[Obdigore]

Just do an inverse draft order.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 <--- round 1
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 <--- round 2
repeat.

It is the fairest way to go if you don't have a previous season's performance to base it off of.

[Slow Ben]

What you said was pretty much the same thing as 1-14, 14-1. Just more complicated. so i dont care, whichever one you want to use. Your in charge of this operation.

As long as its not Volkhs idea.

[Daser]

Blank vote since i am first timer at this.

[Volkh]

whatever gets us moving is what i'll vote for. was just throwing ideas out there

[HoosierDaddy]

1-14, 14-1. I.e. the norm.

[Sixty]

I'm down with whatever. Any ideas when we're going to start?

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Sod it, we'll go with the norm, I cant make hide nor hair of my idea now Im sober. Clearly I should drink more often.

So, normal draft order systemy thing in mind, I still need someone to do an accompanying draw.

As I know who has what number, will anyone volunteer to draw the letters A - N from a hat or something and post what order they come out?

Whoever volunteers, do it, then SAY HERE before posting results. I'll then PM the list of randomly lettered names (ie who's A, who's B, etc) to a neutral arbiter before you post your results, so we know it's all completely fair. Then post results here when I give the word, and I'll say who got what pick.

Soon as that happens we'll work. Any takers to do the letter-pick draw?

I can do that if you like TT ... just say when

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Good man! Whenever you like old bean, soon as I suppose. If you do it tonight or tomorrow day maybe, then I can PM someone with my results when I get in from work tomorrow evening, then the two of us can both post the final order at this time (say 9pm good old english time) tomorrow?

Damn this hand egg business is complicated.

You can send me who is Assigned to each number. I'm not playing so it is a rather reasonable assumption to assume I wouldn't screw with anything.

[Sixty]

If you want you can just random.org to do the draw. Should be quick and easy.

[Slum]

Shouldn't we maybe wait until after training camp, so we know if someone gets injured before the season even starts. I know it doesn't make sense to wait for preseason games, but people get hurt in camp too.

I'm just saying... I really don't care one way or the other. Just let me know when it's my turn to pick.

[Grumble]

TT have you PM'd your info to your neutral arbiter yet ................ we can do this thing whenever your set

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Yep, PMing them to Brood as we speak. Go go go!
