I'm fine with whichever, but I think our odds of getting this done is better if we shave the rosters down a bit. I dont hate Jim's list.

Im in for whatever.

22 players per team? Maybe 16 rounds + 3 double pick rounds to finish up at 22 so we can fill out starting O and D.

Lets say you get 20 teams. 22 players = you're still going to be getting pretty solid starters with ur final picks. Dont think we'll have too much trouble finishing up.

26 rounds.....MINIMUM

Just kidding!

go smaller rosters and ban mahomes imo.

every team doesn't need a full OL and full front 7

For what it's worth I debated not doing it because I won't be able to do solid write ups for the more obscure lineman we will need to draft but figured I could just copy some rank site.

I'm definitely in nath

I don't think we need to ban Mahomes in a 3-year dynasty, he's not that much of a huge advantage over other top QBs. If we were doing a cap draft and you could get Mahomes + like $20 million in savings over the other top QBs, then there's a good case for it.

Then again I guess we can just ban whoever we want if it would make the talent pool more interesting. So.

banning Mahomes is silly. Only a real issue in a salary cap format.

If another is needed, I’ll join.

For the last 8 years or so I’ve played in a keeper league with IDP so this could be good practice for our annual Labor Day draft.

As far as roster sizes-- as far as I'm concerned we can stop wherever as long as whatever we agree on gets us enough owners to get it done

I also don't think we need too many restrictions on roster construction, just assume anyone you don't have a player for when we stop is a replacement-level starter. If you want to draft two QBs and three RBs, go for it, your team will suck ass but hey that's on you

(This is assuming some dick doesn't do something like "use their first eight picks on QBs and then try to trade them for more than they're worth," but I don't see that happening)

First tme poster but i had someone refer me to this and Id definitely be interested in joining.

Have experience doing these type of redraft leagues in the past for both the NFL and NBA(can link them if interested)

Also figured Id add my own two cents from experience doing these in past

a) It's more fun when trading is allowed. Frankly trading is where a good bit of the skill is involved. There is a limit on how good teams can be without trading. Im fine with no trading just something Ill throw out there.

b) Hard to do this without doing at least a 22 man starting roster. What are you actually evaluating otherwise.

c) I like the idea of drafting some depth and going like 30ish rounds(think again that adds to the skills element) but I totally get the concerns about making it too long and people losing interest. So Im fine with whatever.

d) If we are concerned about making this too long just abolish Special teams(we can live without it)

e) Side note but if its only like 20 owners and 22 rds itll be hard to distinguish between caliber of rosters

f) It's a pretty damn big advantage to have a top pick to get a top QB. A traditional snake order draft might not be enough first few rds. Hypothetical maybe the top owners in rd 1 have to pick in reverse order rounds 2-5 not just round 2 as an ex.

g) Definitely agree with a previous commenter on doing some kind of write up/analysis on teams. That's what super nerdy stuff like this is really about

Good post.

Eh I feel like this would kinda make things chaotic The NFL draft as is already a guessing game to a fair extent. The things that influence draft players stock pre draft the most in whatever order are 1) Combine performance and measurables and/orSenior Bowl 2) Their tape from their most recent season 3) How their meetings with teams go.

We have access to none of that for the 2020 class now. Its just pure guess work. Does the opposite of making this about skill/strategy.

As an ex here is a lead BR NFL Draft Analysts 2019 NFL mock from 1 yr beforehand

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ctions#slide32

Literally 9 of the 32 players he mocked in rd 1 actually went in rd 1 in the 2019 draft. Just so much changes in a yr we have no way of knowing. Tons of players who didnt even come out which is the other issue: you think your drafting a guy getting 2 yrs out of him but it might only be 1.

In the interest of not slowing this down, I'll take a co-owner if someone wants to work together. I work evenings so I'm most active afternoons an evenings (lol work obv, I sleep during the days). I've done these before so if I'm up I don't have a problem PM'ing some picks ahead of time to avoid delays, but if someone is active mainly from early AM to afternoon, one of us would likely always be on.

I don't want to kill our numbers, but I don't want to ever slow us down once we get going.

Y’all should know that I live in Australia, so there’s gonna be a speed bump occasionally when I’m on the clock

Send lists to active posters before you get afk.

I'm on Euro time so if people remember to send PM's there shouldn't be much lag time at any point really

Hey guys, work has been crazy so won’t be able to devote the time necessary for this draft. Sorry to have to bail.
