2017 Draft Utility is now live!

[Guest]

My apologies to everyone --- 1st FOF draft I ever missed --- somehow I missed the fact that it started ..... so much for competing now..

btw -- was it AI pick or not ? given that my in-game needs were RB, OLB, CB --- and a stud OLB and stud CB were passed over for the 10th best DE (I have a 69 rated and 52 rated DE already) -- just a little confounding...

The draft is stopped. It's not allowing me to make my last pick. My guess is that Linty set Conscriptor to run until 7.32 instead of unimpeded.

I've put one guy in:

Make sure he is the one picked for me at 7.32 if I'm not around or something else wrong is done to the utility.

I'm probably way off base here, but wasn't there at some point an issue with letting the draft run all the way through the last pick? Was there an issue where it would cause a loss of draft data or something like that? I'm fairly ignorant on matters related to FOF utilities, but for some reason I remember reading something like that.

No. That's when *entering* picks into FOF. not an issue with Conscriptor.

Alright, thanks. I knew you'd know and be willing to share.

I apologize for the mistake.

Turned it back on and your last pick has been made like you wanted.

Only reason I ask this is the JDBaker explained in a dift league on how it works and that wouldn't have happened

-- no big deal it's my fault but just wondering if there is a setting for the AI pick

Looks like the auto picks were being taken "best player available" according to thier player id number in the draft utility. This number is assigned after sorting the players by Adjusted combine grade. Medsker was just next in line at #22 with a Adjst of 6.3.

I couldn't tell you why it was done this way. Probably to save auto picking teams from making a stupid pick in the first round if thier top three needs were say FB G P.

This also likely has something to do with all of the Quarterbacks taken this draft as well (QBs have a bigger positive adjustment to thier Adjusted grades than any other position).

FWIW, at his size, he might make a nice transition to OLB. Jes' sayin'.

In order to get Conscriptor to make need-based picks, a newer version may need to be installed. (The version this league has is old. I don't recall exactly when that ability was added, so this may or may not be necessary.) Also, it requires the admin to upload a full-league Extractor run so that team rosters may be examined. Without that, it'll just pick by adjusted rating since it has no idea what players you have on your team.
