First off, a quick shout out to ThatGuy, since his franchise QB post spawned the idea for this scenario. Hopefully it doesn't come off as trying to steal from the spotlight.
Okay, let's play pretend here.
For whatever reason, every single NFL team has to forfeit their entire roster into a massive pool. The draft is serpentine and their will be a massive, days long draft bonanza for the ages. Regardless of what kind of pick you get, who your team is, and that you would take a couple elite superstars skill position players should they fall to you early -- which part(s) of your team would you spend the majority of attention on FIRST?
Oh yeah -- coaches are their own position as well.
EG: Would you continue trying to snag high quality wide receivers and QBs to create a high-powered offense to the detriment of the overall skill of your offensive line? Etc. Etc.
Feel free to further detail your main strategy here.
I for one would focus on my offensive line first, then shore up the defensive line, snag myself a high quality head coach, get two solid RBs (one speedster/slasher, and one powerful short yardage/goal line) to committee the running attack. Then I'd snag a game managing QB before I focused on WRs, LBs, secondary, and assistant coaches. I would draft the kickers and punters last, unless a great one fell pretty far and I had already filled the majority of my most-wanted positions.
I would also like to thank Madden 09's fantasy draft option in franchise mode for spawning my idea for this post. If this is intriguing to you, and you have Madden, it's a pretty cool option especially if you create your own team. That way you can see if your strategy was good long-term or if your an idiot. Good times!
Let the debating commence!
