Mock Rookie Draft - Discussion!
« on: May 27th, 2004, 4:18pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I'm starting a mock draft that includes 2004 NFL rookies only.
 
This will be a 6-round offensive rookie draft with 8 teams (assume it is a keeper league).
 
Each team will need 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB, WR, or TE).
 
Standard Performance Scoring is as follows:
1 pt. - WR or TE reception
1 pt. - 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 pt. - 20 yards passing
6 pts. - TD pass
6 pts. - TD run or catch
-2 pts. - INT or fumble lost
 
Drew Henson is available.
Maurice Clarett and Mike Williams are not available.
 
The draft order will be randomly selected (names pulled from a hat) and then proceed in a serpentine fashion until the end.  Each person will have a maximum of 24 hours to make a pick.  If they do not make their pick within 24 hours, a replacement owner will be assigned (based on immediate availability).  If necessary, we can suspend the draft on weekends.  (As always, proxy lists are encouraged if you are not going to be online.)
 
I will be taking part in the draft, so I need seven other owners.  Please indicate your interest in this thread.  The first nine to sign up are in and then we will begin.

Alright we've got four teams going so far:
 
Team Philly
Team KillerKingSting
Team BarnabyWilde
Team Tony_O
 
I've decided to reduce the number of teams from 10 to 8 because of the size of the rookie pool.  It will also get us started even earlier.

I am in.  
 
I do have a clarifying question.....  is the rookie draft for keeper leagues or for 2004 season.  That affects where I draft them big time.
 
Thanks!

We'll assume that you'll have a chance to keep whoever you draft for as long as you desire.

If noone else steps up, I'll volunteer.  Sounds like a blast!
 
I am kind of worried about having computer problems, so that is why I am hesitant.  Therefore, if someone else wants the spot, take it... but if you want to get it going; I am here.

OK... we have eight.  If anyone else really wants to step up and take bgsgfan's place, go ahead and speak.  Or, if anyone would like to be considered as an alternate should anyone drop out or not be able to finish, let me know.
 
This is only 6 rounds (48 total players) so it shouldn't be too long.  
 
Here is the draft order (pulled randomly from a hat):
 
1 sameoldsameold
2 DirkDiggler
3 BarnabyWilde
4 sexydexy
5 bgsgfan
6 Philly
7 KillerKingSting
8 Tony_O
 
Remember, each team consists of 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 Flex (RB or WR or TE).
 
We can begin at any time, however the 24-hour rule will not begin to take effect until Tuesday, June 1st, since we are starting on a holiday weekend.  
 
Make your draft picks in the other thread:  http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=56;a ction=display;num=1085969792;start=0
 
Keep any discussion about the draft (or questions) in this thread.  Thanks!  Have fun!

S.Jackson went first. Nice pick. This is difficult to evaluate since, we dont have rosters to indicate what our needs are. How is everyone else evaluating this draft? Just the best player available? Keeper league but, whose to say if I reach for a Tatum Bell (or someone) that my RBs are ok right "now" and thats why I would take him at a certain spot.
 
Any feedback would help me out! Thanks!

You have to assume that there are no players on your roster, so you're either taking the player you feel will be an immediate impact (if that is what you want), or a player who just has SO much potential you can't pass him up.
 
Obviously Steven Jackson will not be starting this year (unless Faulk gets hurt, but, really, what are the chances ).  While there are other player who will make a more immediate impact.

I selected Jones due to the fact I believe he will make the biggest impact as a rookie. He will be handed the starting job in Detroit and barring and setbacks, he should put up decent stats this season.

All good picks so far... nothing too shocking.  I'll update the list tomorrow.

Ben Roethlisberger was a homer pick, I guess.  I justify it by looking at the roster requirements, i.e. only 1 RB.  I am pretty sure I can snag a decent RB in round 2, while after the top 4 QBs there is a huge dropoff.  As far as Rivers vs Roeth, well Big Ben has a ton more talent around him.

Just as a note...Kevin Jones hasn't won the starting job yet.  Mariucci has been on record saying that he is high on Artose Pinner still.  
 
Looks like the safest RB pick was Jackson, who is the heir apparent to Faulk.

It'll BEE interesting to see how Mooch handles his RB situation. Always a RBBC in Frisco and with K.Jones being a rookie, not sure he'll get the rock on a full time basis w/out some signifigant cut in time from the other backs.

Well, unless Eddie George ends up in Dallas, I think I made the safest RB pick for the short-term.  Julius Jones is currently listed as the #1 RB in Dallas and there is no one on their roster right now who will beat him out.
 
While Mooch said that he is still high on Artose Pinner (as was I last season)... I imagine it will be very hard to keep KJ off the field in Detroit for very long.

Rivers is left but, I'll either get him or Henson on my way back so,.woop-dee-doo-winger stingers!

Bell may BEE a nice pick someday, Mr. Bumble, but I think Quentin Griffin earned a #1 spot in Denver with his performance at the end of the 2003 season.
 
Anyway, I really like Bell as a RB.  The guy can run and catch and has great speed.  But can he block?  That will be the biggest determinant of playing time in the NFL.

Not that Bell is huge or anything but, Griffin is SMALL and won't BEE able to handle the fulltime RB load of Denver's running attack and BEEsides, if Girffy really did win that job last year - why sign Hearst?
Bell has room to add mus-kels, but just the fact of the added weight of the football would slow Griffy down, he will BEE mush by mid-season - Hearst will have nagging injuries, and Tatum Tot Bell will step in and take it to the HOUSE babe-Beeeeeeeeeeeeee

My obscure pick of a TE at the 2.2 is BEEcause he is the BEST player available left at HIS position. He'll be like having a 3rd wr around that posts #1-2WR stats.
 
By the way, are we going to go back and evaluate these picks in 2-3 years to see how our teams are faring?
