new dynasty league draft format (1 Viewer)

[fsufan]

if you joined a new start up dynasty league , what draft format would you like best?

#1

draft is all players, rookie and vets, serpentine style,

#2

2 drafts- vet then rookie

vet draft first- serpentine style

rookie draft- not serpentine style

would be reverse order of the vet draft. who ever had the #1 vet pick would draft last in the rookie draft and who ever had the last pick in the vet draft would draft first in the rookie draft

Auction - the only fair way to start a dynasty league.

If that is not an option, I'd go with format 1.

also, what is the best/fair way to set draft order. isn't there a dice roll site?

I'm a big fan of format one. every position on the board has pro's and con's, but how the owner drafts is what makes or breaks his team.

I don't like the fact of a owner getting two players in the top 15 and then getting the top rookie pick. much more strategy and equal play by throwing all the players into the mix right away.

Lots of ways you can do it. My personal favorite is everyone picks a stock on the market for that day and closest to .99 with price as right rules ranks the teams. It at least gives everyone a "say" in their spot because they picked the stock. Plus gives you little excitement when the bell is about to close.the other option:

I hear this, but doeas a team with 2 top 13 picks, the top rookie pick and then the #36 pick (say, Wayne, McGahee, Boldin, McFadden) have that much of a lead on 1.01, 2 other top 25 picks, and the 1.12 (say, AD, Fitz, Turner, Sweed)?I've seen a league try to give the teams in the middle the top rookie picks - rookie order being 7,6,8,5,9,4,10,3,11,2,12,1 from the vet draft. I'm not sure that's any better, but maybe.

THIRD OPTION

three drafts

1) Vet draft (of 1/2 of your roster size) in May or June after NFL draft (don't want it before then because someone immediately screwed wasted high pick (FWP, DeWill, Fargas, etc) 1-12,12-1,1-12...

2) rook draft (1/4th of your roster size) in July in opposite serpentine of vet draft 12-1,1-12,12-1...

3) supplemetal draft (1/4th of your roster size) just before season, this order will be in non serpentine ... 6,7,8,5,9,4,10,3,11,2,12,1 ... this lets the middle guys get first crack at training camp surprises, rooks not drafted in second draft, vets who overtake other vets for positions, injury replacements, etc (Colston 06, Garrard 07, James Jones 07, etc)

I can't believe people out there actually do option 2. The dropoff from 1 to 12 in a rookie draft is astronimically higher than the dropoff of the same distance in a veteran serpentine draft.

People at the top of the rookie draft are basically getting a free RB starter while the other guys get a longshot to sit on their bench for a few years.

I would never play in a league that started with option 2. No way.

"astronomically" probably overstating it by a bitLT + Torain very likely to outscore McGahee + McFadden

So if you had Peterson, you'd trade him for McGahee and McFadden, let alone include a late 1st?Not many would.

thanks for agreeing with me ... even though you don't think you didno if i had Peterson i'd not trade him for that which is why i rebuked the theory that drafting at #1 rook spot is "astronomically" betteri'd pick ADP at 1.01 in a startup vet dynasty and laugh all the way to the bank with WHOEVER you got at 1.01 rookhe was arguing he'd rather have the #1 rook because it is so much better than the #12 rook and i'm thinking what does that matter i got ADP (or LT)

Yeah dude, I followed. I just included your post in my response. Sorry that it confused you.

also, what is the best way to determine what teams are in what divisions.

was thinking about using the draft order

division 1

1,3,5- where teams drafted

division 2

2,4,6

division 3

7,9,11

division 4

8,10,12

 

[fsufan]

what does your league do for trading future draft picks, does the owners have to make a deposit for trading away a future trade pick? this new league owners can trade picks one year in advance.

thinking about making owner pay 50% of the league fee if they trade a 1st round pick. any other dynasty leagues do something like this?

"astronomically" probably overstating it by a bit

No, it's not. In a rookie draft, #1 is usually a highly-touted RB who should start on Day 1 and has a decent shot at putting up RB1 numbers. #12 is usually a guy who doesn't even provide immediate value as a backup, let alone a starter. Those picks are lightyears apart.

Lots of ways you can do it. My personal favorite is everyone picks a stock on the market for that day and closest to .99 with price as right rules ranks the teams. It at least gives everyone a "say" in their spot because they picked the stock. Plus gives you little excitement when the bell is about to close.the other option:

http://www.fftoolbox.com/draft_order_generator.cfm

I used the above site to generate the draft order. I put myself as the #10 team and I got the #1 pick. If you where an owner would you be OK with the commissioner getting the #1 or would you think it is fishy.

Since I've used the draft generator, I wouldn't be upset about it. But if I had never heard of it and didn't really know the commish, I would be skeptical.
