OSFL 2010 Draft Discussion

[Guest]

Don't know if I'll be up to doing another mock this year, sorry guys.

My new job starts thursday, I just moved to North Dakota yesterday... well, sort of... I'm living in a motel room right now (but at least they have free internet access) and I'm going to be driving all over the state tomorrow. Fun fun.

But hey, while I'm up here, maybe I can look into getting some Spirit season tickets.

So who got interviews back? Thoughts? New plans?

I usually don't wait to interview, but this year I am going to see what I can do in FA before I interview the prospects.

I accidentally clicked export before I remembered to interview, so I'll be waiting as well. I'm not sure what to target in this draft. I think my team is in pretty good shape for next season assuming I get the cap figured out. I don't have much money for FA's this season so we're going to have to find most of our help through the draft I think.

I'll try to pick up the slack for you tomorrow.

Got plenty of time to write up a preview. Hope the new job goes well!

I'm not sure what I think about my interviews. I personally think my scout is a twat, so I don't believe anything he says.

Hopefully he surprises me this year.

I did all of my interviews already and, sadly, I did much better last year of picking players that my scout thought was underrated or overrated. This year, we've got a lot more "hard to read." Hopefully I can fill a few holes with FA so I can draft solely on talent.

[Lintyfresh85]

Of course this is largely due to who/what positions I was scouting prospects, but my scout found the following.

22 very overrated players
15 hard to read players
10 as scouted players
6 very underrated players
6 overrated players
1 underrated player

[Clay]

I only scouted the first 10 players that really jumped out at me and 8 of them came back at Underrated or Very Underrated. Seems I have an eye for the Sleepers.

Scouting

haha i haven't even interviewed anyone, guess that's what ill be doing when i get home from work today... and yes it's seems that free agency will be a war, good thing i came to a team that had the most money available. :) but i do have a lot of wholes to fill :(

Note the 28/7 ratio of overrated or very vs. under or very -----
I always get the same approximate ratio as this and I don't like how this is programmed.... You would think 50/50 ratio should always be the norm...

[tomr1962]

Last year my scout thought most of the 10 picks were overrated. Not going to waste my time with picks that wont fall to me this season, getting smarter.

I disagree. Most players in the NFL were not underrated at draft time. Most of them become who you expect them to be or less.

[Delandis]

30 very overrated players
14 hard to read players
4 as scouted players
6 very underrated players
3 overrated players
3 underrated player

Like I said. I had a tough time picking out the litter this year.

I didn't scout anyone in the top 20. I don't have a pick until late 2nd.
