So, the data would suggest they are more likely to value defensive line 😋. To be clear, I’m with you. I have too much ptsd from their drafting DL early. However, if there is a game wrecker there at Edge, I’d support it. I don’t think that person will be there at 28 though.

Why not defensive line? After this year, we will be back to having minimal depth. Von could be gone. I would not be surprised if they went DL if a BPA is there

On second thought, I'm going to hold off on sign-ups until Monday. With Easter this weekend, I don't want there to be a gap in the process. Also, Spring break isn't going to get in the way of any drafts this year. A sign-up thread will be started Monday morning, with the goal for the draft to start Tuesday morning. We will have 3 drafts as follows: 1.0 - 3 rounds, no trades (4/2-4/10) 2.0 - 2 Rounds, with trades (4/11-4/20) 3.0 - 1 round, with trades (4/22-4/25 - will do 2 rounds if we have time)

It would be nice if some of them were younger and on longer deals. I don't think this takes DT off the draft board for us, but could let us kick the can down the road to next year.

How will onside kicks work? Under the new rule, onside kicks will only be allowed in the fourth quarter, and only if a team is trailing. Also, the team that wants to attempt the onside kick will have to "declare" that it's trying it. This will eliminate the surprise onside kick.

Just a heads up, I think I'm going to start the sign-up thread tomorrow evening at some time with a goal of the draft starting Saturday or Monday

Living here in Baltimore and listening to the Ravens radio at times, I can see him holding out for more than the vet min. Not that he deserves it, but he is a bit of a diva

You're good. I'm completely remote. I'll have all trade requests go to both of us and one of us can get their first.

It’s all yours!

See post above yours please

If you want to help either @LEBillsor @section122, just reach out to them

I'm fine with this. I'm actually curious to see how this affects special team lineups and who is going to be the first coach to find a way to take advantage of this.

With a 3% success rate 😜

Who hurt you?

Perfect. Please feel free to utilize @CNYfan and @RyanC883 to help with the workload. The job is yours. If anyone else replies in this thread and wants to help out, please feel free to reach out to them. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Still need a trade approval commissioner if anyone wants the job. Again, not a big deal, as I work from home and handled it in prior years. Just figured I'd offer it up if someone would like to do it. But you really would need to be available throughout the entire draft process, which I know isn't easy to do.

I have other things I need from you....

Yup, that's basically what I'm looking for. However, it doesn't show what round each player is rated at. For example, the #2 and #3 Centers are valued as 3rd round picks. I would like to show that. Just need someone to copy that into a google doc and remove names as they get drafted. Thanks boss. If you can throw it together by Monday, that would be great. Once I get the other Google Doc together that shows position rank, we can add your data to another tab. Thanks boss. What part did you want to help with?

I answered yes, but only because I trust Beane. If he feels the talent there is worth trading up for, I won't be upset.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to get ahead of this before we do our TSW Mock Drafts. The question is in the title. Would you trade our #1 pick in 2025 to move up to get one of the top 5 WR's in this draft? Based off the trade charts, that would move us up to the 17 or 18th pick. Feel free to defend your answer in the comments. Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, it's about that time for us to have our 3 TSW Mock Drafts. My goal is to have the sign-up sheets out this Friday or Saturday, with the Mock 1.0 starting on Monday (giving people Easter off). A few years back, we had some people help support the drafts by creating player breakdowns, BPA's, and just other context. I'm writing this to see if anyone wants to volunteer to support? I'm looking for 1 or 2 people that can help create a google doc that can be accessed by all, and then maintained by the creator live. So it needs to be someone who can keep up with the picks for the most part. Specifically, I'm hoping to find people who can help make: Position of Need per team - Just a one pager that lists all 32 teams and what positions they are looking for in the draft. This shouldn't be done at the opinion of who makes the sheet, but take the time to review multiple local articles for that team and create a consensus. Player Rankings - Someone who can list player rankings for incoming rookies. This sheet would break them out, both by position, and overall ranking. Basically, there'd be a list of each position and a rank beside them that shows their rank by position and overall BPA. For example, Caleb Williams might be QB 1, but BPA 2 behind Marvin Harrison. I would also like the rankings to be based off CBS Sportsline or ESPN, since those are both accessible by most posters here. Trade Commissioner - This one is optional. I typically do this role, but I'm fine with letting someone else do it if they want. Basically, all trades need to be approved by this person via PM with both involved teams. For this draft, we will use the standard trade chart value sheet. Once those are made, a link will be made to the google doc to help any GM's making their pick (or me if I have to make the pick for them). For those who volunteer, if any, I will require you to be in good standing on this board, same as I do for Mock GM's.

Can you imagine if they announced a dome stadium for 1.7 billion? I almost wish they would. This place would be super entertaining

I don’t see in your statement where is shows McD is feeling pressure? Are you saying he should be feeling the pressure? If so, you should update your title.

This should be interesting. They get lake effect snow as well. If they get a domed stadium that comes within 500 mil of our price tag and the PSL's are less....watch out

I don’t understand how the government or the legal system has the right to tell any business how they have to offer their software. If Apple was a monopoly, then sure. But Android has a huge market share. Personally, I’m glad they added usb-c and I hope they integrate iMessage and sms. But I believe that’s apples decision to make, no one else’s.
