Are Yall Excited To See The Draft?

[Beeznik]

I'm glad I traded out of this class. OUCH!

[tarcone]

You want a DE and are picking in the top 4, you have a cornerstone for your defense for 11 seasons.

[Hoosier]

I'm excited to get to the second round.... then next year's draft, we'll have paid off Bazooka Barlow's debt in picks and can start adding some bullets to his arse...nal...lol

Midgets.

Top 2 LBs are 5' 9", a good half-foot away from the prototype.

Good year for above average RBs. A few teams will probably grab one in the late 1st/early 2nd that could have gone earlier in other classes.

Yeah, I'm very disappointed with the MLB class - yuck!
I agree about the RBs though and it also seems like there's a fair number of above-avg WRs, not sure if any of these will last to the late 1st though!

wide receivers are eaten up faster in this league than ... a fat man at an all you can eat buffet...

(hey..I just ate at a buffet..lol)

Oh, is that why I've had 7 offers so far?

There seems to be about 4-5 ILBs masquerading as college DEs this year.

I'm not exactly tight with my 1.30 pick this season but if a lot of WRs fly off the boards before then then that might change things.

hmm, I have a hard enough time evaluating talent straight up, but I like this idea. I guess weight is the biggest factor and maybe strength. The last couple seasons I've drafted a couple low-weight safeties and high-weight corners hoping to convert them but then my coaches say they'll lose a lot of skill so I never make the switch.

I could be talking out of my ass because this is my only league so my data is limited, but when it comes to corners/safeties I believe:

CBs with Zone, Play Diagnosis, and Run Stopping make good Safeties, though *maybe* good NBs as well without the risk of a switch since I read the NB drops back often into zone.
Ss with great 40 times *might* be good CBs, though this switch seems rarer than CB->S.

My non-FOF knowledge has me think CBs with no BN'R skills would make better safeties since they're away from the line but I have no idea if this translates into FOF reality.

I've often had the "reason to believe in increase" message but roster slots sometimes keep me from switching.

I have had virtually zero success switching CB/S or S/CB. Ruined a few players but cant recall any success
