TL-TwoWinsAway Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just now, RTTRUTH said: I’ve been fighting the urge to trade up for some time. Really more focused on next season. Sorry, not sorry. The draft still fascinates me. I have players on my board that I considered rounds ago that are somehow still available. I always think that "my guy" will be taken, and, sure, that certainly happens at times, but they tend to stick around. (Which probably means I'm targeting the wrong players.)

I had been considering Vera-Tucker for at least 3 rounds. For a first year player he sure did some pancaking. Plus has the draft capital. But just kept sliding. I finally pulled the trigger in my first “Double” round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or only where they are on front page? You can definitely do that (and a number of people do that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same thing about a lot of other people's picks Which is why I'm one to trade down often 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Chark's stats from last sim (gaudy average, low drops, great TDs), and, after a few decent seasons in real life (albeit an injury-plagued 2021), he enters a situation where he seems to be the clear-cut #1 on a prove-it deal. I thought for sure he would've been gone before the 10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(At least, I hope.) I get sold on a player and feel like I have to make a move to get him, when, in reality, I can probably wait. The FOMO is real.

Tk3 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Draft is far from over - but a couple thoughts Anchorage grabbing Ryan is the difference between being a 5-6 win team, and a team that will easily be in the hunt. If they hadn't spent early picks on speculative guys like Walker, Hamilton, Burks and instead built a team to win, I think they would easily be the biggest improver (might still be) Glem looks like he has a REAL nice squad going Samurai would be a fantastic squad in 2019 Thunder are the new Anchorage, and I assume they will be bottom of the heap and really need some good IRL luck in their favor with their young keepers If TL actually tried to draft a real defense, they would be formidable Polar Bears are gonna have a rough season Swoosh - see comment on Samurai, but probably still has a nice season Bucsfan actually has a really bangin squad, and might actually be better than his usual 8-8 plus or minus a game. I could see them being one of those 11+ winner contenders Rammy should have Watson suspended, tbh. Or the nerf of all nerfs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never hate on someone drafting a rookie that they believe in in real life. I mean I’m the guy in BDL that had 6 top 14 picks in 2021 and 4 top 9 picks in 2022 in rookie only drafts. I love potential and I think part of me enjoys the pain of busts in some sick twisted way. Trevor Lawrence- Traded away for a top 7 pick in 2022, top 16 and top 32 pick in 2023 Ja’Marr Chase Kyle Pitts Patrick Surtain DeVonta Smith Micah Parsons Aidan Hutchinson Jordan Davis Derek Stingley Jr Ikem Ekwonu And then add in 2nd and 3rd round picks Jameson Williams and Azeez Ojulari I just can’t help it. I need an intervention like you need one for trades. Oh and 4 top 16 picks in 2020 that didn’t look so great for me except for Burrow Joe Burrow Henry Ruggs (I hate this man) CJ Henderson (traded) Jedrick Wills (traded) 2020 top 10 picks traded for from other teams Isaiah Simmons Andrew Thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
