:siren:oh god not this poo poo again:siren:

It's that time of the year again where this thread is created and fails miserably.

Same rules as always:

- 22 rounds where you will fill up 22 starting positions with any former/current football player.
- No special teams or backups.
- Snake draft; order determined by a computer magic.
- No trades.

The clock is 24 hours per pick. If nothing picked, then the next person can go.


edit: gently caress the regular teams, pick a dead franchise

Might be better to put this on ice and wait until after the draft when there's nothing happening.

Everytime we do this I just draft DL with my team. Last year I think I had a starting DL of Bruce Smith, John Randle, Warren Sapp and Demarcus Ware it was really cool

gently caress it, if you're taking names for after the draft, gimme the Steelers.

I'm going to draft the most wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Also could the window be 24 hours, like the Goon Draft, for the benefit of those who'd get screwed by timezones?

I screwed up on that part. Clock is now 24 hours.

Bad, very bad!
I think it might be a good idea to bump this after the regular mock draft is done. A lot of guys who might be interested just skim over this because they don't want to sign up for two drafts at once.

e: I know you said you were fine with waiting to do the actual draft, but I'm thinking they might not even click on the thread or whatever.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

I have a suggestion. Rather than picking for the current NFL teams, pick for the original franchises of the NFL. It has the novelty of not being done every year, and there are fewer teams so it's more likely to get finished. Besides, who doesn't want to give the Rochester Jeffs a good team after all this time.

Per Wikipedia,

Akron Pros
Decatur Staleys
Buffalo All-Americans
Chicago Cardinals
Rock Island Independents
Dayton Triangles
Rochester Jeffersons
Canton Bulldogs
Detroit Heralds
Cleveland Tigers
Chicago Tigers
Hammond Pros
Columbus Panhandles

The Hall of Fame game is played in Canton on what is essentially a high end high school field right next to the NFL HOF. It's the first game of the preseason and Madden includes it as an alternative field you can buy in MUT. It's a really relaxed atmosphere. You can see houses in the background and there's a small road that curves past it. You can just about imagine birds chirping in the trees and a couple making out on one of the grass inclines next to the stands.

That's very cool. Do you want the Bulldogs? I could take a different team.

Also, is as a relaxed atmosphere as I imagine? The stadium looks bigger than the the college nearby where I live.

Nah, I'm just poking fun, I was just amazed that someone would use Fawcett Stadium in madden (they are almost done rebuilding it fyi)


Edit: never been, a lot of locals avoid the HoF stuff. The area gets packed, and isn't set up for the volume yet.

I love playing Madden using Fawcett. I love that you can see houses and trees in the background rather than Stands and More Stands. I was just looking and saw that they tore it down for Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Man, that sucks.

Most of those houses are going to get torn down soon too. The Hall of Fame village program is in full swing. They are aiming for the Draft in the near future.
