  • CLIMBING THAT SEXY TOTEM POLE - DAKOTA DRAFT 2026

    Well, it looks like I've done the improbable and actually had a decent draft in OSFL. Even a broken clock is right at least once per day, and every six or seven drafts I have a good one.

    1.3 "Quack" Duckworth RB 48/71 -> 52/71: I traded up to 1.3 since the price was decent and I could choose either Duckworth or the TE Hartman, who is probably the best TE I've ever seen come out in an OSFL draft. I took Duckworth, who is awesome, but it looks like Hartman is a once in a lifetime player. I probably made the wrong choice. Still, not a bad consolation prize.

    2.11 D.J. Moss FB 60/81 -> 65/80 The best of what was left, since Utah had more ammo to get the TE I wanted as a consolation prize for Hartman. (That TE bumped 7 in TC, I believe. MARONE!) I played with the idea of switching him to TE, because evidently I'm obsessed with that position or something. Unfortunately, he only has a 90% conversion to TE due to his height and weight. I'm a little leery of switching him since I might just ruin a good FB by moving him. Besides, he compliments my 1st round draft pick. Will we become the Camden Cutters vs 2.0? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT! (Spoiler: No.)

    3.10 Jerome Ritt WR 13/22 -> 15/24 Evidently I forgot to give this guy his second contract offer after he didn't accept the first one. I guess I should sign him, but should I Bother with a measley 2 point bump to 24 potential? This one is obviously a miss.

    4.5 Fernando Domenici C 17/27 -> 21/34 A nice bump that I expected from him. Reminds me of when I drafted J.T. Sandage who is finally getting a little old.Domenici will take over the reins in a year or two, most likely. Either that or labor in obscurity for the first 6-7 years of his career like Billy Wilkins, who finally might get to start this season as my ancient tackles' creaky, dusty old bones finally collapse under the weight of their fat.

    4.18 Andre Bolden QB 8/23 -> 11/24 Well, unlike most QBs I draft, his rating didn't go down, at least.

    7.11 Walt Johnson QB 11/37 -> 17/43 Whoa, where the hell did that come from? A 7th round QB bumping? Was it volatility? Or is this a creeper and my future starter? If he sticks around to become a backup that's fine with me.

    UDFAs who didn't horribly crash in TC and might make the team or be traded:

    J. Coryatt WR - Our token Bees castoff of the year, he converted alright to WR after we had that fatass slim down. He might make the team because we're thin there.

    V. Luker WR - Might make our thin WR corps.

    I. Stevens S - It's crowded there, so his chances are slimmer.

    Yeah, it's too bad you had to settle for Duckworth, but not a bad consolation prize, as you say. Eh....?

    I'd sign Ritter. What, does Dakota have someone better??? Hehe, just kidding, but really, even a two point bump, he could have some use from a depth standpoint.

    That 4.5 center, I really wanted to get him. I think he was my last hope, but alas. He's going to be a really good one for you.

    The QB is hard to say. It sorta sounds like volatility but you'd have to go back to the pre-TC file, pull up his red bars from the Trade Info screen, and compare. Anything out of whack? Maybe you really found something.

    Hey you got that RB I was talking about! Figures :-)

      I looked at that QB's bars in conscripter and I thought to myself "Yeah, this guy does look like crap." I'm assuming it's volatility for now, but he has an affinity so he's the likely QB #3 for now.

      I almost took that C in round 3. Judging by my pick in round 3, I should have. I already put in an offer to sign that WR. I just feel a compulsive need to sign all my draft picks. (Even Howie O'Donnell.)

      That RB (Now FL) will be our Ex-Bee for this year, since he has 49 potential and is worlds better than the trash that appears after overachieving star 3rd WR Bernie Jones.

        Am I missing something because Coryatt is still showing up as a RB to me.

          He did the same thing I did with Morton: dropped weight during TC so he could move him at a higher % afterwards. I only gained 3% (from 93% to 96%) on my guy, which is low...but oh well. I think it was worth it. I don't like losing ratings into the ether.

            Yup, this is exactly what I did.

              Ah, I thought weight loss happened before TC. Next sim he'll be moved then. Gotcha.
