re: RMD- Vote on 107

That is for me and me only. Sorry.

I picked one FCS player and three non-BCS guys. I picked most of my players based on thier athletic ability, potential to start, offers, coaching style and program prestige.

My strategy was based upon the idea that there will only be so many All Americans, so I'm trying to get guys who will be four year starter and have a good chance to go in the NFL draft and be all conference.

But, if you think about it, the more prestigeous your school+plus coaching+playing time usually leads to All American status. Again, I think J. Parker may be better than McVey, but I think he gets more PT and will make all-conference more easily than Parker which will probably make him a higher draft selection and possible all american.

IMO, IMHO, FWIW

1 pick today? That sucks. Bump?

I didnt care about a system I draffted as if this was a fantasy draft.

Yeah, that was the weird thing about not knowing what the point of the draft was (besides just having fun). I drafted on talent, but also tried to fit the system. Where as, you picked systems that would fit in the most "star" positions.

Both legit strategies, but different. I honestly thought about running a 2RB/3WR package and a Dime defense because RB/WR/CB are all star positions.

The good thing is that we can iron out the problems with this draft, so the following years can run much smoother (If we continue to do this).

But most of all, it is all fun and games. There is no monetary prize, or trophy. Just bragging rights to the guy who somehow got lucky that most of his players were good. I can next to guarantee that 60% to 75% of these players will actually end up playing very limited time or sucking all together. For shits and giggles, go back and look at the position rankings from years past. Half of the names you probably didn't hear. Its crazy that one or two of each top ten actually pan out when there are usually three or four twenty or thirty ranked guys hit it off.

That is what makes this so much fun.

that's why I didn't take any LSU guys because I will already follow them.

I agree with you, but I actually wanted at least one LSU guy, but they got sucked up awful early.

I'm thinking about taking Brad Wing as my second supp pick.

So what do you do now that Bates has been shipped to Illinois?

Is he not going to play football?

Obviously a joke pick. I don't really care if he doesn't play center. Center is so hard to predict that he's just as likely to end up at center as anyone else.

Okay, the final guy for my team will be Melvin Davis (Washington) as my FB/RB.

The question is do you still consider the MWC a small school conference? It was obvious the direction I decided to take at the end of the draft. Would it be better to take a more talented kid that might be lucky to start one or 2 years at a big school or take a small school kid that could be a star in his conference for maybe 3 or 4 years even.
