ATD: Rules - Discussion - Trades Thread

[GKJ]

Should do an undrafted phase. There’s more guys I want to draft

 

[VanIslander]

For nearly two decades on the History of Hockey subboard ATDs we've done MLDs (minor league drafts), drafting teams from players not selected in the year's ATD.

We could/should have a depth draft, an NFL MLD: The Next-best.

It allows us to herald those who were overlooked in this ATD. That will inform next year's ATD. (That's how the cycle goes well)

After we vote for regular season rankings, have playoff matchups, and head for a final, we could initiate a depth draft, if there's interest.

 

[GKJ]

@VanIslander Emmitt Thomas was picked at #352

 

[VanIslander]

Good.
I picked him as an extra DB because he deserved to be.

We should do a depth draft because there are more needing their flowers.

draft now is over. You have 3 days to post your strategies. 2 days after, the team rankings excluded your own, is do in my DMS.

Ok now is the hard part, this trips me up at the wrestling draft each year.

It’s not that, it’s getting the actual thought into words

Yeah, I did that in the wrestling draft a lot.

It worked well.

 

[VanIslander]

We need a non-GM to collect votes.

This is a draft 101 dimension.

We do this in our post in the roster thread? Sorry first timer lol

Yes, do the post in the roster thread.

@Johnny Engine has agreed to collect the votes.

He is a longtime moderator on the ATD board and participant in the hockey ATDs.

 

[Elvis P]

I made a post about the way a GM was drafting and Idk what I was talking about. I apologize.

 

[Tony Romo]

I have some testing to do, will post my strategy in the early afternoon before I start stressing about Texas football

 

[Michael Farkas]

I'll do mine tonight.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Ok I finished my roster post I believe. I'm not too sure how into strategy people are going to go. I'm a football fan, not a coach so I didn't go deep into strategy. Hockey would be a different story as I think more as a coach there haha. I'm not sure what others are going to do, but I think it conveys the point.

I'm seeing conflicting things here. So Roster Thread posts are due by what tomorrow? Then we all take a look and submit a list with the 12 other teams ranked. And we are submitting it to who? @Tony Romo said earlier it was to him, but then @VanIslander here says we are submitting to @Johnny Engine ?

I forgot to take a punter

Can I drop Lamar Jackson for Thomas Morstead?

 

[Michael Farkas]

You should have to stick with Lamar Jackson as punishment. I wouldn't draft him if this was a 13 team re-draft of the NFL much less in an all time draft...

You'll send it to @Johnny Engine

I compiled all passing stats finishes (i.e. Drew Brees finished 1st in yards, Big Ben finished 7th, whatever) for Yards, TDs, Comp%, Int%, QB Rating going back to 1932 (including AFL and AAFC). I took the top 8 finishes from 2016-1995; top 7 finishes from 1994-1976; top 6 from 1975-1970; top 5 from 1969-1960 (top 3 of AFL); top 3 from 1959-1932 (incl. AAFL). [exception: 1934, top 2 finishers, 1932 just one passer met the min. passing requirements]. Ties on formula based things (Comp%, Int%, QB rating) were calculated to break the tie, for yards and TDs if you finished tied for 2nd you received a 2nd place finish and 3rd place would be skipped (i.e. 1, 2, t-2, 4...). Min. 10 games played going back to - IIRC - 1950.

Points assigned per place finished: 1st (15), 2nd (12), 3rd (10), 4th (7), 5th (5), 6th (3), 7th (2), 8th (1).

Here are the top 30 results. There's a very high correlation between being high on this list and being in the HOF. There is exactly one QB ever that's outside the top 50 in this ranking and made the HOF - Terry Bradshaw.

Still not sure how to go about this. Do I just draw up some plays and formations and concepts. I am old school, this might require notebook paper

 

[Michael Farkas]

I just kind of went proof of concept and talked up the players a bit, linked to the little bios that I had already made.
