Providing we have an adequate number of members signed up, we'll end the GM hunt on March 31st.

Schedule of Events - Eastern Time Zone General Manager (GM) & Creative Writer (CW) Sign Up Open - Wed, March 25th @ 10:00 AM GM & CW Sign Up Close - Tues, March 31st @ 12:00 PM (noon) GM Announcement - Tues, March 31st @ 8:00 PM NFL Team Rosters Locked & Cap Finalized - Thur, April 1st NFL Draft Begins - Fri, April 3rd @ 9:00 AM 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. @EaglesPeteC - Commish @ny92mike - League Office Lead @Counselor - FFMD Board @Packerraymond - FFMD Board @MikeT14 - FFMD Board @mountainpd - FFMD Board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) We are still in search of a 49ers GM. Who will be our hero????? I nominate the dynamic 5-pack of @Forge @Justone2 @Trojan @DTMW78 @jonnguy2015 to run this thing together. You all have TCMD experience, surely all 5 of you can lead your team to glory.

Justone2 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Like a complete suprise i am selected as the GM for this. For me this one is about us all so i would like to get input in each and every decision we will make. @MSUspartanz has been selected as a Assistant GM by the FFMD board. First thing is i have got a request if we would be willing to trade McGlinchey and if so what for. So let me know what you guys think about that. @Forge @49erurtaza @NinerNation21 @rudyZ @J-ALL-DAY Edited April 1, 2020 by Justone2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want to have fun, get as many draft picks as you can, etc etc, go for it. If you want it to be based within a more realistic realm, I'd say the answer is no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
