2038 Draft Talk

hey all just a heads up i wont be drafting till the am Saturday sorry

I had Roberson pegged as the top WR.

So I've waited all this time to pick only to have the top three guys on my list go the three picks ahead of me. F**k this!!!!!!

I'm taking my ball and going home.

Opposite issue here, after hearing the chimes I jumped over to my priority list to find seven players all of which I had pegged as first round potential still available. None of them really stood out from the rest and none of them were at any particular position of need for us.

Ended up going with WR Drew Roberson as a possible replacement for former first round pick and perpetual disappointment Tracy Hughes. Had to pass over the higher graded (at least in game) Chance Sullivan after comparing past combines and realizing that Chance was just a slower version of Hughes.

It seems (at a glance) that the scouts don't view them all THAT differently -- just a few noticeable variations in a few odd bars that, in total, paint a pretty different view of the prospect for garion vs for Rob.

Cool, right? :)

My scout shows that END bar at 51-80. Higher than both of the above examples. My DC's scouting bar is 90.

Edit: Oh, wait, there's STILL overlap. 3 points.

I'm wondering if where there's overlap between what I see and what others see is where these players will end up.

Is this difference because of the Young Player bar or whatever?

My understanding is that my low Interview score means I'm seeing huge blue bars, but what's driving seeing these rookies so differently?

Edit: Or I could quote myself from FOFC:

Considering the "shrunk" blue bar is in the middle of the wide range you show, it "could" be just the interview. But, if the bars outter ranges differ, I think it's scouting.

[*]Overall, I get the sense from this that the intended effect is that coordinators scout rookies, and head coaches interview them.

Which is fantastic to know and explains why my rookie bars tend to be more obscured than I would expect as I focus a bit more on play calling with them.

Waco staff:

Man, my defensive Scouting is either terrible or great. I saw the END bar on one of the safeties completely different than Rob. Like, completely different.

It is crazy how significant the difference in bars is in the view of different scouts.

Here are the different views from the Morgantown scout and the Waco scout for S Fernando Chu drafted 10th overall by Chicago. I was was wanting to trade up and draft him:

Wow -- we're halfway done with the first round, and this is only Day 2!

You guys are great.

Sgran -- I'm really glad you got to make your first round pick. I know it didn't fit in great with your schedule traveling in the first week of June. Good to see things managed to work out in this case.

[Aston]

Yes, guys -- the next sims are Friday and Tuesday (sorry, it's my schedule =\). So, make sure you get all your Round 1 interviews in for the Friday sim.

Ok, thanks Saw.

Done my first pick without interview but hoping he comes through. Needed help in every position really but decided to start building the Offensive Line with Conner Diaz (T)
