Graz's Re-draft GM Game: DISCUSSION

[Pucker77]

Im fine either way about releasing the orders or not.

I like the mystery, but I understand the strategy element where if you see you have the #1 pick in a draft with a great center you wont reach with your #6 pick just to fill out the roster.

 

[Pucker77]

Also, I know everything is randomized, but since there are 9 of us and 15 drafts, would it make sense to have a rule where everyone is guaranteed 1 first overall pick?

Obviously, some people are going to be lucky and get #1 in multiple drafts, but in the name of fairness I thought that might be a good idea?

 

[MasterMatt25]

Is there a list of who had been drafted or where the selections are being made?

 

[JonnyGraz]

You don't have to start the drafts but if we just know the orders that would help.

I completely understand both sides.... If we get majority vote I will change if not then I'm sorry.

I was definitely debating this but felt like it would take away from the randomness of the game. I thought a better option was to do an alternating draft where if you get the last pick in one draft you will get the first in the next year. Hopefully, randomness will prevail and no one person will get the first pick every other year.

I will be updating each draft thread when possible with each player that is picked in that specific year so you don't have to scroll down to see everyone's pick.

I think that having at least one 1st overall guaranteed worked well last year and is a good rule to keep. Sure it takes away some randomness but I think maintaining at least a certain amount of parity is ideal

Agreed. So far, 4 years worth of draft orders have been uploaded and 4 different gm's have had the first overall pick. I believe in 16 drafts everyone will have a first overall pick. I'm thinking if we get to the last batch or two of drafts, and someone hasn't gotten a first, I could make sure they get a first. That's if, that's what everyone wants

 

[LT]

Would it make sense to do 4 drafts at a time instead? That way each pair occurs at the same time.

 

[JonnyGraz]

Since most drafts are halfway finished and almost seems like they will be wrapped up by tonight, I will post the next set of draft orders.

Just so it's here, everyone has now had at least one first overall pick.

Didn't even realize... Power to the odds!

 

[LT]

Any idea when 2015-2017 will be up?

Also, do we want to go ahead and knock out the Other/Undrafted players tomorrow as well? I think it'd make sense to avoid losing a day just for one draft.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Maybe merge 2017 with the misc draft ? Weak year.
