Mock dynasty draft (1 Viewer)

G

Go deep

Footballguy
As part of the QB's in the first round thread, we will do a mock dynasty draft to see if it helps decide who might be right. Its basically just a mock dynasty draft, except two guys have agreed to drat QB's in the first round. Its BPA for every pick othr than that.

So far we have 9 teams, we need 3 more. The draft will start as soon as we get all 12 guys. We will be doing the draft in the Mock draft r us board, standard scoring, 21 rounds, 1 QB/2RB/3WR/1Flex/1TE/1D/1K.

For anyone interested, and the guys who are already in, please pick your spots.

Click the mock draft r us link for current spots available.

I think it will be a slow draft. Too difficult to coordinate a live one, IMO

Want to post the order in the OP? So people can requst an open spot if they wish.

The time difference might be a slight issue for me? Seeing as that's a 10pm start here. Could we do a slow draft?

ESPN doesnt even allow a slow draft. What if we just do it on the Mock drafts r us board. We can start as soon as we get our 12 guys. It might take longer since we dont have a predraft option, but it might be our best option. Thoughts?
 
Excellent news. I can do my first few picks then and I'll post a list if I go to bed. Usually up till around 7pm et and get up again at 3am et so can make picks then.

Heading out now but will be back in an hour or so.

 
Since the thread was about the long term effectiveness of drafting a stud QB that provides value for 7+ years versus the 3-5 years of an RB, how exactly is a mock draft going to answer these questions? You'd need to have a league over multiple years...

I thought the plan was to do the slow draft here and then load the rosters into an ESPN league for this year and maybe beyond (depending on participation and interest)

It wont solve the problem, but it will give us an idea. Plus we plan on revisiting the results next year and beyond....if possible. Edit, if everyone wants, we can make it a real league intead of a "mock". I would be willing to set it up and commish if there is enough interest. i wonder if we did that would people still be in a big hurry to take Rodgers?

Checking in and will take the 5 slot if there's no objections. I don't mind turning this into a league but it would place about 4th or 5th in terms of importance behind my other main leagues but I would still be as active as possible. We can always do the mock and then decide later if we want to go through with a full-on league once the draft is over.

Thats fine, i have 4 other leagues that would be more important. But we could still have a real league, nothing too complicated, free of course, just for fun. Doent take much to put in a starting lineup and respond to a few trade offers every now and then.I would want to do a veteran and rookie draft seperate to offset the advatage of having a top 4-5 pick.
 
I can only agree to a slow mock on the forums. I don't want another league and don't have time for anything else.

We can have you draft and then find an owner if we want to go through all year.J-Dawg, I need to know if you're the Rodgers guy. If you aren't, I'm gonna take the 3 spot. Otherwise, we had decided Rodgers at 8 was most likely way that it would fall, and I'd grab him. As part of the whole premise of the league, we gotta know who the "QB in First" guys are vs the "QB after the 7th" guys.Also...Are we having anybody take a QB in between 1 and 7? For instance, is the 1.01 gonna have the ability to go QB at 2.12. Something we should think about. I don't think it would be an issue, but we should hammer it out first.

I'd take him at 5 if he's there. If not, I'm going BPA.

I would say we let people draft whoever they want, with the exeption of the one or two guys who want a QB in the first. After that, anything goes. The only problem is when to draft rookies. I would prefer a seperate rookie draft in the opposite order of the vet draft, both being serpentine of course.

I think if we're doing a full start-up that rookies should be involved in the main draft, especially if we're going 21 rounds.

I would prefer a rookie draft reverse order of startup. And since J-Dawg's set on going Rodgers at 5, I'd like the 3 spot.

It would make sense, with the exception of everyone would want the picks 1-4. A good way to even it out would be doing a seperate rookie draft, reverse order of the vet draft. We could do it immediatley following the vet draft. Maybe 20 rounds in the vet, and 4 rounds for the rookies?

Depending on the scoring, Rodgers at around 8-9 overall in a dynasty is a pick I'd have a hard time finding a flaw with. He's young, with great weapons, plus he runs the ball along with throwing it. That's something someone like Brees or Manning doesn't really give you.
 
Yeah that sounds good. We should have set positions for Rodgers and Brees. Say 1.05 and 1.09, everyone else can take who they like, if someone else wants to take a Qb then fine. I'm ok with 20 vet plus 3 or 4 rookie. I'm also In favour of importing the rosters into a league site and participating. Wouldn't need to be a major effort league,'something casual.

Like we have been discussing in the other thread, while not a horrible move, i think it is a disadvatage to take any QB in the first round of a dynasty start-up.
 
I took Rodgers 1.07 in a dynasty startup 2 weeks ago and would do it again. I think I'm qualified to do Qb in the first here. Happy to take Brees if it's at the 9th though

. You are looking at Mendy, Jackson, or Turner at that slot, and Jackson and Turner don't exactly give me a long-term solution at RB... Mendenhall I do like.If I'm getting 6 for passing TDs I'm probably taking Rodgers at 9...if its 4, it's a tough decision for me between Mendenhall, Rodgers, or Jackson.Its also usually easier to pick up an RB who becomes an elite back in your rookie drafts, as many more RBs cycle through the league, and the big name QBs often bust or don't live up to expectations. Most of the rookie QBs will not give you anything for at least a year, if not more, while your rookie RBs may contribute right away.Rodgers would be the only QB I'd take in the first round of a dynasty though...
 
A couple of us have signed up over at the Mock forum. BTW, it's been suggested you change the thread title over there to entice others to sign up.

Also, you might want to clarify some scoring parameters. See the thread for specific questions and some draft suggestions.

 
I'm not sure I really see the point of this to be honest.

After the draft all the rosters will look great. We would only start to see the value in the QB strategy a few years down the road, when a good bunch of the RB's and WR's have fallen off the map. So unless this is being done so we can reference it 3 or 4 years down the road, I am not sure I get it.

 
I don't know, I got the impression it was for exactly that.....to keep looking in as the years go by. How else could you go about it? I understood that they will set it up as a free league when the draft is over and then participants will play it out on that site. I'm willing to help out. Besides, it could be fun. I already have 6 leagues that are more important to me, but I usually play in 10 - 12 leagues a year.

 
Gotcha. I was under the impression that it was simply a mock that would be used to look at the kind of rosters could be generated based on the different strategies. Should be interesting.

Yep, Donsmith is right. I updated the Mock draft r us thread, we just need a couple more people. I would also like the guys who already signed up to confirm they are still around, and will be rerady to draft as soon as we are ready.
 
OK, this is definitely the last bump. We need a guy to pick right now from the #8 spot. Click the link for details.
