SAC'D 2005 Rookie Draft Tracker

lucky seven?

Just think about it, we implemented this dang thing to help fill our Taxi and Practice squads, why not add a 7th or even 8th round. Heck, there's still 1st round talent that hasn't been drafted!

If you add a 7th, you need to add an 8th. Otherwise the draft would be unbalanced, unfair, and as we determined in figuring out how to do the draft, and serpentine draft is the only possible way to do that. Adding a 7th without adding an 8th would completely throw off the competitive balance of the league, and would give the teams drafting first in the 7th a competitive edge that the teams drafting at the end of the 7th would have no way to compensate for.

Save the draft! Don't let it end!

You have SUCH a way with words Brian. I almost fell off my chair laughing!

ooh, I like!

K I propose rounds 7 and 8... Practice Squad eligible, all 100 cb's.

Round 7 = to original round 2 order, round 8 = to original round 1 order

momentum's building...

SAVE THE DRAFT!

In all seriousness, if we are adding two rounds, please justify why round 7 will be the same as round 2 when we voted serpentine all the way through.

i say just continue with serpentine. no need to mess with rotation imo.

Why? Well to appease your sensibility of fairness! (Plus the folks who were screwed with the late picks get a shot at a little makeup). I drafted 8 BTW, so it's neither here nor there for me.

Are you serious? I didn't vote for 1, 12, 12, 1....

Straight serpentine passed, I see no reason why to change it now. The people who were screwed with the late picks should have thought about that possibility and voted for my 1, 12, 12, 12, 12... proposal :dammit

[randilover]

I'm down.:agree

, I don't really care, it was all a joke to start, but momentum is building.

I'd be cool with adding 7 and 8 in the original order.

Keep the picks declinging at the same ratio for the next 2 rounds till they hit the 100 minimum, and make the incentive bonuses = to the 6th rd picks.

That's fine with me. I will add just for the record, that those of us supporting the rookie draft weren't doing so to fill up the PS and TS, just to get those players worthy from this draft a chance to get on those roster respectively.
