FFMD is a forum-wide GM mock draft designed to give the members of the site a fun way to pass the time during the dry spells of the offseason taking place April 1st and takes us to just a few days of the irl NFL draft.  There were two versions of this mock, however we will only be operating version 2. FFMD II, consists of a full 7 round mock draft with the ability to trade picks and/or players without the stress of a salary cap or the confusion of a free agency.  Current free agents, not signed by another team by Apr. 1st are relocated back to the original team.

To encourage membership at the GM level our plan is to reduce the typical workload previously required of the general manager.  We will be doing the following which in theory will provide you with more time to communicate with your group and not having to worry about keeping track or collecting information.  We hope that these changes will encourage you to join the FFMD experience.

  • The “League Office” will post the initial discussion thread aka team war room within each team sub forum.  This provides everyone regardless of their level of interest looking at it with all the information they’ll need to participate in a structured format.  We’ll ask that each moderator assigned to their team forum pin this war room thread so that it remains at the top of the thread.

    • This war room post will be titled FFMD II ‘20 - [Team Name] Front Office.

      • It will contain links to the primary discussion thread housed in the GM Mock Draft sub forum.

      • Guidelines

      • Important dates (schedule)

      • League workbook (described below) 

  • A single google doc workbook is used to keep track of everything FFMD, which will house the following information.  

    • Draft board / Draft Order

      • Used to list and track available and selected draftees.

        • This has been used in both tcmd, bdl and other GM mocks for several years with great success.

    • Team Roster sheets for all 32 teams designed to display and track every transaction.  Both tcmd and bdl have used something very similar in the past and this will be a much more simplified version of those workbooks.

      • Roster data is collected by us.

      • Important information is displayed and updated automatically.

  • In the past, only the GM and a coGM were the only ones permitted to seek trades from other members.  Now any member of your group is allowed to seek out trade inquiries that can be delivered to your war room for debate and vote on.  

As the GM your responsibilities are a bit more involved than other members within your front office therefore your final vote in which players are selected during the draft and finalizing trades does carry a little more weight, after all you are the General Manager.  So for example, if you have a couple different options for an upcoming pick and the war room is split on which player to take as the GM it’s your responsibility to make the final decision. 

General Managers or an elected member within your front office are required to post each transaction you make within the League Office thread.  We will update the workbook based on the data posted.

General Manager Best Practices

  • Be a leader not a dictator.

  • Listen to the feedback & suggestions from all participating members of your front office.

  • Keep your war room thread informed

    • Create discussions early on items such as “team needs” so that everyone within your group is on the same page.

    • Stay on top of the action by starting the discussion early enough that your front office has the necessary time to discuss various options.

    • Give your front office more control to scout for potential trades.

The last year I did this was the Demaryius Thomas draft and it was active and fun as hell.  
 

Im not going to volunteer to take a spot,  but considering all the time I now have on my hands I can do whatever.  

It would be great to have you in any capacity. This is just the draft with no free agency and we could use you as a scout or whatever you would like.

I think a Hidden Gem to look at is Logan Wilson at ILB. His play in coverage is great. He has good size and is a good athlete. He had 10 ints in four years at LBer including 4 his senior year.

What round do you see him going? He got high praise during the combine and have a good grade on his draft profile. I'd love to get him in the 3rd

Logan Wilson is a great mid round target. Not the same athlete as Akeem Davis-Gaithers but a much more natural ILB, whereas Gaithers may top out as a sub package LB/S. Then again, if he can put on 15lbs and retain his movement the upside is tremendous. They are far and away my top R3 / R4 (If a trade happens and we end up w/ one) targets at ILB.

Team Needs:

WR
ILB
3-4 DE (x2)
CB
OT
C
OLB

The only positions I would say that are off the cards in the first 2 rounds would be QB, RB, G, TE, S and OLB. Anything else could be justified, really (excluding position value, i.e Punter).

One of my Hidden Gems is WR/RB Antonio Gibson out of MEM. He's 6'  228lbs and ran a 4.39 40. Versatile with speed can create mismatches for Shurmer in either the run game or passing game. 

 

Also wouldn't mind LB/S Davion Taylor out of CU (sorry AAA). Ran much faster on his Pro Day (4.38) than at the Combine. Reminds me of Kyle Dugger-lite, could help with the TE coverage issues.
