JZilla 2,923 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Just like, a song for the guy? Base it off of.. name, number, any part of his story, any team or location he's made his fame in, etc? Keep it loose and I'm not sure there are enough people around here but maybe at the end of the draft we could hold a poll competition to see who came up with the best/cleverest playlist for their team. Maybe add in some requirements for songs just for the challenge, like one Swedish act, genre to fill or whatever Screw-your-neighbor "tokens" to throw some custom reqs up and down the serpentine draft Spitballing here.. I imagine it could get tedious but maybe not? If we claim to know football and we claim to know music, it should be pretty feasible Edited August 12, 2019 by JZilla 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fleshing out the potential for maybe giving the person in front and back of you a "token" to play at one point regarding genre, etc. Sort of a reasonable request made for a song in light of the player you pick. It'd have to be played a few picks before yours, or you'd be waiting to pick all of the time or people couldn't use it, etc. I'm thinking this scenario. Imagine pick 1, 2, 3. You're pick 2, so each 1 and 3 get to throw a token at you at one point in the draft asking you to make a pick per their genre (or whatever we decide) request. Then you have to figure out what to pick for the player in keeping with the request and the draft theme. Seems like a cool idea if done once by the person in front and back of you, but I'm thinking for every pick it could get tedious and logistically impossible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockaction 24,832 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) But we should probably figure out an overall theme before we mess too hard with it. I'm still having trouble coming up with one. I loved what Eephus did last draft. I'm stuck thinking about using the beginning of the last name of the player be the first letter of the band, but that's too much like an alphabet draft and really uninspired on my end. For example: Pat Mahomes. Band: Motorhead. ets* There's got to be something better than that. Edited August 13, 2019 by rockaction Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a draft pick from the 11th spot, the 10th and 12th get one opportunity to throw a token a few picks prior to yours and request a category/genre/etc. Not that tough, IMHO. But YMMV. Just spitballing at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JZilla 2,923 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yeah I was thinking something like, say I have the 5th pick and rock has the 4th and simey has the 6th.. anywhere along the way of the draft, I can play a "card" or token to make the person behind me fill some sort of qualification so like maybe I would make simey pick a heavy metal song for her next pick, or make rock take a Weird Al song for his next pick.. these could be played once in each direction of the snake draft, so you screw your neighbor one time (and of course they get to screw you and someone else) Other than that, just a loosey-goosey thematic draft, however one sees fit, let the voters decide if your song picking strategy was the most sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites

simey 7,930 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) So we could do the token thing, and then in general whatever player is drafted you have to pick a song from an artists or band that is from the state (anywhere in the state) of the NFL team of the drafted player. Last year it had to be from the city or town the NFL team was in or within 100 miles from where the player went to college, or we could do it has to be a band or artists that starts with the first letter of the players first name.

Your team defense can be the defensive coordinator's birth year. * I think BB is the defensive coordinator of the Pats this year since they don't have a DC.
