The All New NFL Thread

[DFF]

OK, just need Bowles to sign up now.

I've revamped the playoffs to be more in line with the NFL style. 6 teams will be seeded for the playoffs (i'm not a fan of having more than half the teams getting a playoff spot, but hey ho). 3 rounds of playoffs, 1 week each. Top 2 seeds get a 1st round bye.

I can log in fine.

I hope the Sunday games on Sky/Five will be in HD or 16:9 at the very least, don't want another season of crappy 4:3 pictures.

 

[furnish]

will be at work when we do the draft. Anyone know how to do the pre rank thing?

You need to go to your team page. To the right of your team name it gives you the option of editing pre-draft player rankings and autopick strategy.

Can't log in at the moment. Says i wasn't in a league last year. If it doesn't work my team could end up a little strange.

 

[hutchiniho]

do we have the draft order?

 

[ihawk98]

do we have the draft order?

i think draft order is determined random when the draft begins...

 

[Bowlesinho]

I've signed up and sorted my auto pick out, look forward to seeing who I've got tomorrow!!

 

[hutchiniho]

Think the league manager just needs to click randomise before it locks down at 2

 

[DFF]

It will randomize 1hr before draft time.

 

[DFF]

Less than an hour to go! You are able to join the draft now, if you wanna get a feel for the draft application.

So i guess the draft order is as follows:

1. Teemu Steelers
2. Bristol Darrkespurs
3. England Eagles (me)
4. Team Olodude (tobi)
5. The Yids (robin09)
6. Furnish Flyers
7. Team Bowles
8. Team Hutch
9. Mystery Men (ihawk)
10. Waterford Werty

 

[ihawk98]

i think i drafted better this year....hope i do much better this season! bring it on!!!

 

[DFF]

Good draft everyone!

 

[Darrkespur]

Well that went rather well I thought. No elite WR but other than that, very solid.

QB: Peyton Manning - first time i've had an elite QB!
RB1: Michael Turner - a relief not to pick LT again to be honest. Turner was great for me last year
RB2: Steve Slaton
WR1: Braylon Edwards - probably the pick i like least.
WR2: Hines Ward
WR3: Laveranues Coles
TE: Jason Witten
D/ST: Chargers
K: Ryan Longwell

BE: Marshawn Lynch (bit of a gamble but as a third choice a lot of upside once he's back from suspension)
BE: Donald Brown (RB)
BE: Lance Moore (WR)
BE: Devin Hester (WR)
BE: Josh Morgan (WR) - i decided to gamble on three sleeper WR candidates for my bench. Hopefully at least one will come through.
BE: David Garrard (QB)

[Darrkespur]

between hutch, yids and teemu's steelers for my favourite draft (although i'm quite happy with mine too)

 

[robin09]

I think it was a pretty even draft. Everyone seems to have solid starters.

 

[furnish]

not too bad considering it was done via auto pick. The only standout issue was how early i picked Brandon Marshall, not sure how much he will play.

You might want to look into getting another WR as the Jets are said to have pulled out of a deal for Marshall and I can't see any other team willing to trade a first round draft pick for him anytime soon.

eagles, men, werty, and bowles all good teams.
