  1. 10 Starters, likely 15 bench spots to start. That's how both of my other dynasty leagues started. One league voted to add an additional bench spot in year three, one voted against it. You wanna try to find the sweet spot. If you make your benches too deep, then the waiver wire is bone dry and it's impossible to make meaningful roster moves.
  2. This is where Beane's "BPA at a position of need" comes into play. If they draft Colston Loveland and give up on Dalton Kincaid after an injury filled sophomore year (after he showed real promise is a rookie), I'd be truly shocked. I won't argue that he may be BPA based on what's sitting there right now, but I just can't realistically see it. We all know Beane doesn't REALLY draft BPA anyway, even if he gives lip service to it.
  3. To back up what TOBoy just said:
  4. Just gonna re-post this, as it pertains to the discussion that immediately followed it in this thread. It certainly seems like the Bills ARE interested in learning from Green Bay, with regard to what its done surrounding its stadium and what its planning to do for the draft.
  5. One of the Matts (Parrino? Bove?) recently brought up the idea of the Bills trading for Chris Olave or Jordan Addison on his podcast. It was followed up by some Twitter accounts of varying (but predominantly scant) credibility claiming things were happening behind the scenes. As far as I can tell, no actual, credible reporting is suggesting that this is going to happen. I think it's just content creators connecting the dots between WRs about whom there have been trade chatter and a team with extra draft picks, in order to fill the long weeks until the draft. I'd love if it happened, don't get me wrong. I'd be so thrilled. I just...don't really buy that there's anything to it other than bored writers looking for clicks.
  6. Savvy move, but we'll just use water and food coloring to replace whatever we take
  7. Ohhhh *****. Dad's gonna be gone! Inmates running the asylum. Quick, someone snag his credit card so we can order skin flicks on PPV and call 1-900 numbers!
  8. I'm not sure how much flexibility there is in this year's throw back and alternate uniform rules, but... It would be AMAZING if the Bills could wear the standing buffalo throwbacks twice and the 90s throwbacks twice. I'm fairly certain that the league only usually allows one official throwback jersey, but maybe they could be cool for once in their ***** lives and let the Bills use the 90s set as their "alternate" uni? I dunno. I'm just sick of seeing the Bills not capitalize on the rabid hunger by the fan base to see the 90s throwbacks, and there will never be a more logical year to roll them out than the final year of this current stadium.
  9. If that's your stance, you may prefer keeper leagues or something with salary cap/financial considerations. I think the term "dynasty" in dynasty league COMES from the allure of building a really good team that competes for multiple championships. In my experience in dynasty leagues so far, there's plenty of player movement. Those that regularly contend often try to load up on players by trading away future picks. Those that AREN'T doing so hot make trades or try to acquire draft picks to rebuild. Some dynasty owners even love undertaking a full-on rebuild, piling up draft picks and scouting rookies. The thing is: If the "loading up on draft picks" guy HITS on those picks, HE can become the perennial contender pretty quickly. And if the "trade away all my picks for players" guy's players age out or start getting injured, his team can crash and burn pretty quickly. As for player movement: other than the draft and waiver wire, the only real way to acquire star players is to trade with other teams. In my experience (at least in a good and active dynasty league), you have a league full of people who find roster building and tinkering fun, and trade talks themselves are fun, so you end up having quite a bit of interaction and trading. Nevertheless, I understand the allure of salary cap and being forced to cut players and all that. There's certainly a market for that type of thing. That's just not what I'm envisioning this being.
  10. I could kiss you for recognizing that about yourself and announcing it! I won’t, because that would be unpleasant for you. But….I could. you sound like the perfect league mate 😆
  11. First off, thanks to everyone who's replied so far. I wasn't sure we'd get enough interest to get this thing off the ground. Now it seems that we probably have enough interest to form TWO or even THREE leagues if we wanted to do so. To answer a few questions I've seen mentioned so far. Maybe this will cause a few people not to be as interested as thought, or maybe vice versa. - Seeing the amount of interest, and after a few DM conversations, I think the buy-in would likely be more like $50 or above per season. It simply keeps people more committed/active/interested. - To be clear, this is a dynasty league, not a keeper league. There is no mandate to drop X amount of players each year. You draft your team, you keep your team. Obviously you can add/drop/trade/draft players, but there's no component of "well I have to choose one of my three top players to drop each year". - Along those lines, I don't have plans to incorporate any kind of salary cap or contracts or financial considerations. I want this league to be all about the football side of dynasty, not having to worry about contracts. No disrespect whatsoever to those who run these types of leagues -- I have several friends who are in them and love them -- but that's just not what this is intended to be. - Would be a classic snake draft, with draft order chosen at random, with rookies included in the startup draft player pool. After year one, we'd have a rookie draft each year with either 3 or 4 rounds, depending on what everyone preferred. - Waivers would be an FAAB system. You get $100 of imaginary money during the offseason to put blind bids on whatever waiver wire players you want. High bid gets the player. FAAB budget resets back to $100 for everyone once the season kicks off. - Would prefer not to have more than 12 teams per league. It just waters down the talent pool too much and makes waiver wires too barren. Like I said, maybe this forum can support SEVERAL leagues, so that all interested parties can play. All of the above having been said, once the basic structure is in place, there would be regular league votes every offseason on rules tweaks, bylaws, etc. I want it to be a democracy, not a dictatorship, where everyone feels like they have ownership of the league.
  12. There would absolutely be rookie draft picks, with the ability to trade away future picks, yes. One of my current leagues has three round rookie drafts each year, while the other has four rounds. In both cases, you can trade picks up to two years into the future. So this year, owners can trade picks as far out as the 2027 draft. One measure that can be helpful with this, though, is asking that if any owner trades a future 1st, they pay their league dues (or half their league dues) for that year up front. That helps prevent people from trading away all their future draft picks and then leaving the league, in which case it can be very hard to find a new owner to replace the departed owner, since the cupboard of draft picks is bare.
  13. With the 18th pick in the 2025 TSW Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona. Interior offensive line is far and away our biggest need, but with two 2nd and two 3rd round picks, we feel we can wait and still find good players there. Meanwhile, after trading away DK Metcalf, we're thrilled to add an imposing outside receiver with tremendous size and athletic ability to replace him. After JSN, our only real receivers of note are Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdez Scantling. Both are on the wrong side of 30, and neither are dynamic enough at this stage in their careers to keep us from taking a prospect with as high a ceiling as McMillan. Metcalf and Lockett? Meet McMillan and Smith-Njigba. The value was great, the player is dynamic, and the need is there. John Schneider and Mike McDonald are high-fiving in the Seahawks war room. @Bill from NYC and the Tampa Bay Baker-neers are now on the clock.
  14. haha no worries. I’m leaving this up for a full 24 hours so everyone has a chance to respond. Then I’ll be DMing everyone that indicated interest just to see what their level of experience and willingness to commit is. And yes, tenure on the board definitely helps. I wanna try as hard as possible to get a consistent and committed group, though good people are definitely gonna get left out just by the nature of things, unfortunately.
