2010 Draft Discussion (File update thru 5.28)

I hope Bailey is a bust.

[Argot]

I was hoping Bailey would fall to the end of the round.

I would have taken him at 24 if he fell there. But now I am sure he will suck balls, so no big deal.

[Argot]

How far will Crawford fall...very surprising! :shock:

[Cringer]

Battle looked better to me, but I didn't interview an RBs either so what do I know.

Of course I messed up and didn't interview Gs either.

In FOFL, he would have gone #1 or #2 easy.

To quote Buck Dharma in the More Cowbell SNL skit, what does that even mean?

party in the chat room right now

It just means that I think he's a great value in terms of what I'm used to seeing in FOFL. Whether that ultimately is meaningful, who knows.

Does FOFL use TCY drafts? We're told (and I've thought before) that these drafts aren't comparable to FOF default/NFL.

FWIW - NCAA to Madden drafts are the same. Too much similar talent. My belief is that it's due to the fact that the original college "output machine" needs to itself be competitive.

No, we don't use TCY drafts. I have no idea what that means for the ultimate value of these players. It makes me really nervous.

There's a recent post by Skydog where he said our draft had like 128 player ranked past a certain threshold whereas the default/average (I'm paraphrasing here) was like 55-60 I think.

My stats are probably off but the point is that TCY drafts provide too much talent for the league (a problem with IFL since it's inception).

I don't think it means anything, just that there are more high-end players. Draft files are draft files. Players are rated on a 375-625 scale in numerous categories. The game has no idea the players are TCY imports.

that's why every team looks like a juggernaut (except mine). Of course, none of the teams in this league are as good as the Denver Death, baby.

any time I see an opportunity to plug the death, I'm doing it baby!!!!

Can you elaborate since you've got numbers?

Does FOF semi-ignore TCY ratings and re-create it's own? What about Skydog's post, which I'm sure you've seen?

[Matt]

no picks after me?

I watched a little Goodfellas last night whilest I feel fast asleep. I woke up this morning second guessing myself. Oh well, we'll live.
