It creates a really BS imbalance of the league However I'm willing to swap 1sts with you preseason.. ie, we would each be better we have more wins than the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting my ILBs (Bentley and Oklokun) to be great, but I'd be shocked if my secondary was horrible, and I tend to think that, if Atkins is decent, my front four should be fine.

I guess the one spoiler I should say is that the grading ratings I used really do not seem to like rookies. So it has Hutch a little lower than I think is realistic, and agreed, it doesn't love any of your LBs Your secondary might not be horrible, but I do think it is below average I guess I'm not saying I think your defense is horrible, but if you are a playoff team, I think it will be on the backs of your passing game, and somewhat in spite of your defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, I'm a huge fan of the "I'm firmly against the concept of betting picks, but allow me to offer to bet picks because I think it'll benefit me" mentality. Very... "I enjoy the high ground, but not really" sneaky. Thirdly, I'm offering to bet based on my own win total. Why would I offer to swap picks with someone who has been in the league for years and should be better than me based off of experience alone? Fourthly, and most importantly: I don't have a S25 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.. big difference between basically swapping up or down a couple of picks vs one team getting an asset for absolutely nothing I do think it is conceptually a very different thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider it to be within the realm of betting picks. I'm surprised that your rating is so low on my secondary, tbh. Landon Collins had a strong S24, and I can't help but think that Richard Sherman should make a strong sim FS. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used an impartial source to "grade" players - although some of the grades I don't trust, in general it gives an impartial grading system. Then I put forward a formula to weight positional importance Overall rankings 87.9 Royals 87.1 Puppets 85.9 Papermakers 85.5 Rattlers 85.4 Squirrels 85.3 Direwolves 85.3 Pirates 85.3 Predators 85.0 Kongs 84.8 Samurai 84.1 Venom 83.8 Starfall 82.5 Ukpiks 82.2 Blobfish 82.1 Walruses 82.0 Amish 81.7 Bighorns 80.8 Thunder 79.9 Orcas 79.6 Polar Bears (rip, twins) Offensive Rankings 89.1 Puppets 89.0 Pirates 88.9 Royals 86.9 Papermakers 86.7 Squirrels 86.3 Rattlers 86.2 Direwolves 85.8 Venom 85.7 Kongs 85.6 Predators 85.0 Ukpiks 84.9 Walruses 83.8 Samurai 82.9 Starfall 82.5 Bighorns 81.6 Blobfish 81.4 Amish 81.0 Polar Bears 79.7 Orcas 79.1 Thunder Defensive Rankings 86.8 Royals 86.0 Samurai 84.9 Predators 84.8 Puppets 84.7 Starfall 84.7 Papermakers 84.6 Rattlers 84.3 Kongs 84.3 Direwolves 83.9 Squirrels 82.9 Blobfish 82.7 Thunder 82.6 Amish 82.1 Venom 81.1 Pirates 80.8 Bighorns 80.3 Orcas 79.6 Ukpiks 78.9 Walruses 78.0 Polar Bears I think this listing undersells the Kong and Venom a little bit, but there it is Obviously rookies are knocked a lot which is fine i guess. I'd take my team in real life over all the others and that is really all I can build. The sim is gonna sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
