Didn't you get like a 70" TV, though? You won.

I'm still on a 42" Plasma. Feels small, man. I think I'm going to get a bigger TV and move this one into another room.
No I ended up getting a Panasonic 65GT50. 65" plasma. It is fucking awesome.

The time per pick is a minute and 30 seconds. There is no way to change that.

You can only trade up to the guy that is currently picking. You can trade players and picks, but can only trade for their 1 pick. Can't be multiple picks on their end (the team with the higher pick).

Each pick in the first round and a half have some stuff said about them by Wingo. Very rarely negative.

If you have a pick, and want to trade down, you can only choose from people who have made you offers. You can't seek someone yourself. That is to say, you can't go up to the Pats and offer a trade. They have to offer you one.

We should limit trades to user only. No CPU trades. CPU is stewpit.

Only admin options are to advance the draft to the next user, round, pick, or to the end.

No drafting on the website. Only "actions" available on the website tell you to log in to the game.

Rookie contracts are automatically signed right after the draft. You get no say in length or amount.

All my rookies signed for 4 years. Highest pick was a first round LT who signed for $4million per.

So maybe I'm missing it, but there's no way I can see to see who you drafted during the draft except to scroll through all the picks.

Trades are only this draft and next year's.

If you try to trade down the trade offers screen won't update on its own. So just back out and select trade down again to get more offers.

There is pausing. I managed to pause it, leave the room, and come back to un-pause it.

Also if you accidentally hit decline all offers I think you don't get any more trade offers for the rest of the draft, not just that round.

Scratch that, the window is back now!

The ratings for dudes a I drafted:

LT 81 OVR 1st
CB 78 OVR 2nd
WR 71 OVR 3rd or 4th
LE 52 OVR 6th
RE 58 OVR 7th
RE 53 OVR I don't even remember drafting him

Unscouted 7th rounders are garbage and guys who aren't draft projected are even worse.

CPU drafters may be at an advantage. CPU avoids busts like the plague. They seem to know every player.

Yup. I delegated by accident for free agents and the CPU locked up 3 for me at good rates. I'm all in for CPU drafting now. Screw user drafts!

Lol. Rinse rage coming soon.

Zack Richmond is a 75 or 77 OVR depending upon your system.

He also has slow development speed :/

AFAIK none of the QBs in this draft have Star development speed.

If I was Rinse and I was gonna draft a QB in the first I'd take CJ Hagood. Dat 98 Throwing Power.

Can I pull bids from the website? After hearing Wellington's tale of losing prestige with low bidding I might want to pull a bid before we advance.

I'd probably take Will Myers over Zack Richmond as well. 94 THP and only slightly lower overalls.

The thing about the current progression system is that its better to take players who are high in ratings that are expensive to improve (speed/strength/throwing power) because other shit can be increased for a lot less (accuracy/route running/blocking).

That's my philosophy anyhow.

Completely agree with this. You can't teach speed.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I don't know about fully (as in stats) but at least randomize where guys show up. If they randomized the stats, we'd get Borderlands style shit where everything pretty much sucks.


at least randomize potential and have a window/range for other attributes.
