I agree with that. Picking 3rd might be a bit better, so he should get that if he wants. But it still makes the difference between the spots in the draft pretty negligible.

With snake its a huge difference.

We did 3rd round reversal for our original draft so I don't think it's random or out of nowhere to do it here too.

Well if we don't do a normal snake whole draft should be started over and whoever top seed was should pick his draft order.

Just making first seed get top wildcard team (which is huge) is pretty bad.

Regular snake because of this

This is the power ranking of the teams you get at each draft pick.
12 + 1 + 6 + 7 = 26
11+ 2 + 5 + 8 = 26
10 + 3 + 4 + 9 = 26

This "perfectly" redistributes the power in theory. Obviously who you take and the pure randomness of FF can't be counted upon but this is the best option for a draft like this imo. Any other way would theoretically make 1st picks division tougher than the others and last picks the easiest.

I guess this is my bad because I didn't post that it would be snake beforehand . I thought I did but that was only in other thread.

If someone can make a point to me why snake would actually be unfair I am all ears but in theory yes 3rd division winner should be stuck with the top wildcard team.

imo the issue is that the top wildcard team is going to be way way better than all the other teams, and the bottom team is going to be way way worse, while all the middle teams are not a massive distance apart.

So simply having the worst team probably makes it the softest division even if the other teams are pretty tough, and simply having the best team + a division winner is enough to make the division very tough.

I think having the top wildcard team, in terms of $$ equity, is a much bigger deal than having the worst team.

I agree, it's a massive equity hit since it makes it really hard to win the division.

The person with the top wildcard team should be getting a pretty soft bottom two in the division imo.

They'll be getting the third and fourth worst teams along with the top wildcard team.

+1

Ibavly I don't think you are considering the relative strength of the division winners in your calculations.

For the 3rd place division winner yes the division will be "tougher" but that is kind of the point because the 3rd place team is considered worse than 2nd and 1st place team. Making the overall toughness of each division fairer than any other way.

Think of it this way would it be fair for the 12th team in the league to be in a division with the 1st, 4th and 7th best teams while the 10th worst team gets to play the 9th, 6th and 3rd ?

I honestly don't see a fairer way of doing this for all teams involved.

ok

Oh lol now I get it we're redrafting divisions...I was like WTF he plays in the NFL now?

Also I see I was picked second. If it's not redraft after each year that is a massive mistake (because I'm the best long term LDO) but I actually think my team may be somewhat competitive already this year assuming Charles isn't done etc. Haven't looked at the other candidates but I'd say I'm fairly confident I have >2nd worst team after the draft + trades etc.
I think my WRs may get a pretty decent boost this year.

I take it we can vote on changing from redraft divisions to fixed divisions each year?

OTI --

Have you spoken with Chris?

We definitely shouldn't skip someone yet (I know we're a long ways from that).

Sure, can propose any new rule each year.

Hmm, Im drafting assuming that this is for only one year. But meh...

Well right now the rule is a redraft each year.

Ill take JD

Fixd

Would arian foster be enough? I don't have any first rounders.

I'll give you all my draft picks this year and next

lol

He has and everything is in order.

Also, J.D is on the clock

Snap picked martin in 1.02

He's in a better situation than TRich, and his skillset, while not TRich, is going to be more than enough to fill a feature back role.

If TRich weren't in the draft Martin would be the clear #1 dynasty rookie

Martin is good.. no TRich, but no brainer pick for a team without a starting RB.

Agreed. He's not going to dominate in any situation like TRich/AP will, but he is definitely reminding me of Ray Rice in his skillset. I have no qualms about picking him over either of the 2 big QBs on the board.

Luck went first eh..

I think I agree with that in the long term.
