I've never been a fan of Carr, but I could see him going off this year. Interesting trade for sure. 

Carr has been objectively good the last couple seasons but nobody believes it because we all decided he sucked liked 5 years ago

Okay, so every player in the NFL not on these keeper lists + incoming rookies are available in this draft? Not tedious at all building a draft board, lol.

 

I've already done 3 dynasty league rookie drafts and my first ever BDL draft this year. Odd how every list is a little bit different. Requiring new leg work.

Tammy and not placing his tags on Donald. Can’t name a better duo

Is it an annual tradition now?

I think I've held him in higher regard because he was our QB for a few years prior to Mahomes. That's one of the things I appreciate about this league as well as the BDL - there's incentive to follow your players during the NFL season and see how they develop / improve / tank their value.

Ratings are based on a combination of stats over the last 3 NFL seasons, with the most recent seasons weighing more heavily than the future ones out, as well as Nacho providing any tweaks he feels needed. Missing time, whether injury or suspension, does slightly drop a player's ratings, but can sometimes 'perserve' them somewhat - an example would be a good / elite player who tears his ACL and misses the whole 2022 season, he'd project in the sim to be close to what he'd demonstrated before with the hit for every game missed factored in.

Personally, my recommendation would be to use a mix of:

- Last 3 NFL seasons, leaning more towards 2021 than 2019

- Last 3 NSFL seasons, leaning more towards S23 (For odd number seasons, I cut it down to 2, though sometimes I eyeball the previous four). This gives some baseline of expectations in the sim, while taking into account certain factors may impact their stats.

It's still highly subjective, and sometimes you'll pick a guy you think should perform well and he underperforms, and sometimes a nobody ends up outperforming the bulk of the players in his position - the name escapes me but there was some guard that piled up an insane number of pancakes for a couple of sim seasons, he was to the NSFL what Evan Mathis was to PFF.

Was it Andrew Norwell? LoL. Looked at his stats from last sim and was kinda like Wow!. Remembered how hard Pete tried to trade him in BDL.

Nope, it wasn't Norwell. Now it's going to bug me. @RuskieTitan it's on you to figure out who it was. I just looked through a number of seasons and nobody jumped out. 

To go along with Ruskie's point about an injury/suspension sometimes being a good thing and "preserving" them, look no further than Daryl Washington. Sim monster. I don't think we've seen that level of consistent dominance from an ILB.

For sho. He was a 10 sack guy for me forever. Then even after his nerf he was a 10 sack guy for you, right?
