NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE SEVEN! Part One!

[BernieParent]

Bern, I almost never check DMs, I've had the red notification dot by the quote bubbles for months now so I never know if I have a new one or not

It's all good.

Thanks for letting me know. Direct mention in my post it is!

You're making it very hard on yourself because then you have to adjudicate constantly.

QB
RB
WR
WR
TE
FLEX
OT
OG
C
OG
OT

PK
P

EDGE*
EDGE*
IDL
LB
LB
CB
CB
S

FLEX
FLEX

COACH x 1 or x 2 depending on whether you want to split O/D. Either way works fine.

Then anyone can run any scheme they want on either side of the ball and you don't have to worry about what fits. You can even Flex out more positions if you prefer. But definitely make it easy on yourself and don't worry about being strict.

*EDGE = 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB

What the f*** is a flex? JFC football really is stupider than hockey.

Fantasy football term for anything you want, basically.

I started researching positions and I'm definitely getting a little stupid with this. I want to build a good team, but years of watching VT and WFT work has broken me.

I'm still bitter that Macho Harris wasn't good in the NFL. I'm just saying.

I only know most of the offensive positions, but even I knew this.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

On offense, "flex" could be a RB, WR, TE, or Taysom Hill. On defense, "flex" could be DL, LB, CB, or S. Basically. So like you could decide if you want to stuff the line of scrimmage and shut down the run, or flood the secondary with bodies, or something in between where you have pressure on the QB, but also enough coverage. Or you could choose the science fiction option where you pick the group that you think could best defeat (presumed) Overlords.

I'm still confused by that. Sorry.

He was incredible to watch live in college. He just couldn't brain football at the NFL level and out-athlete NFL receivers and QBs.

He played at the same time as Deron Washington. A basketball player who's unbelievable physical talent was only matched by his unbelievably bad decisions. Routinely made Sportscenter top 10s but was probably a net negative somehow.

We were monopolizing the mega-athletes with un-mega brains at that point. Best example: Marcus Vick. Holy shit what a broken person. That guy tried to fight middle schoolers in a McDonalds.

But I can’t have a team of retired mascots. Great.

 

[DancingPanther]

Let's see if this makes sense. This way we can play a 3-4 or 4-3 on defense, and having a coach is a great idea. Here's the question - if we are having three WRs (which we definitely are), do we want one or two RBs - I assume two?

QB
RB	DL
RB	DL
WR	DL
WR	DL/LB
WR	LB
TE	LB
OT	LB
OG	CB
C	CB
OG	S
OT	S
PK	P
COACH

Why don't you just draft 1 DL and 2 LBs and 2 edge rushers? Allows drafters to choose 4-3 or 3-4 with way less effort on your part

Ah, I see I am leight on this, should have guessed @JojoTheWhale

I was dying for all three of Harris, Chancellor, and Worilds to end up on the Eagles in 08/09. Of course I only got the one that busted.

You should want Deablo. There's a dude who should do well in the NFL. Absolutely ripped, hulking brain. His cortex has a 12-pack.

Lets talk about this instead

Amazing. I could do this for the quackverse footyballs gathering of teams, if it wasn’t for cap.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sorry for delay. Busy day. just popping in now.

We're going to take as our Team Chain Restaurant...

Spoiler: NSFW Language

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

@Young Sandwich you're up.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Only one meal can satiate a Sexpo when they are about to face the firing squad: a giant plate of smoked meat with classic accompaniments. We're talking pulled pork, beef ribs, pork ribs, brisket, burnt ends, bacon, sausages, chicken, turkey, corn bread, cole slaw, potato salad, greens, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, baked beans, pickles, and every type of BBQ sauce imaginable (sweet, spicy, vinegar, mustard, white, etc). We'll also throw in a hot fudge brownie sundae at the end to hopefully kill us before the bastards can do it themselves.

Team Last Meal - Smoked BBQ Platter


Do it @JojoTheWhale, I f***ing dare you.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

If you're going to take a chain restaurant, you can't half-ass it. I'm not interested in frozen chicken tendies or a family atmosphere. I want breakfast at 2 AM after a night out and potentially to be attacked with a fork or removable tooth at any point. Give me Waffle House.

@Lord Defect Job's done.

I had this shortlisted but I had decided to go in another direction. It would have been a perfect fit for the Zeppelins thematically though:

At the risk of him already being taken in some capacity that isn’t listed in the spreadsheet i will not be writing a big write up for our (possible) pick for left wing, Daniel Briere.

He's taken. This is the third time he's been taken actually. He's my GM.
