Realgud's Realgud draft simulator

[simonedvinsson]

Is it a paywall if it's a poorly constructed one?

Also, the above list is neither Pronman nor McKeen's list. The list in the spoilers tag is the Central Scouting list from your drop box with positions adjusted with inspiration from Pronman and McKeen's lists. The order doesn't match either list, so it should be fine.

If I get bored I might blend all of the lists together into one. That's what I've been kind of on the lookout for. A bunch of different 3 round+ lists to combine into some sort of consensus.

would be really cool if we took thirty-two lists representing the thirty-two teams and had the simulator randomly assign a list to each team. or a more practical solution, average the lists as you said but also take into account the upper and lower limits on draft position when randomizing selections. not that it’s worth the time and effort to build, but it’d be pretty cool.

That's not a bad idea but in the end it just ends up being another random algorithm. I guess it has a little more potential if you want to take the time to give lists to each teams and consider their needs, which could be interesting.

Everytime I run it, theres always a good C left at 17 and 41-43 if we take BPA at 9 (benson/wood), one of these Cs has to pan out right lol

Really fun simulator. Love how easy it is to search for players and see if they're on the list.

I'd have likely picked Leslie at 117, but I didn't realize he was there until my pick in the 7th. I also debated going with Barkley at 114, but after his playoffs he's gonna be gone in the top 75 picks. I think if Adam Dybal was undrafted near the end of the drafted I'd have traded a pick from a future year to snag him. I really like his upside.

Pretty happy with how it turned out overall. I got 7 players ranked in my top 30 and I feel like each pick was pretty good value.

Or, grab a HF mock draft list.

Not a bad idea

I think it would help with the general consensus.

Most people on this site that study prospects, are usually informed from reading scouting reports and watching videos.

Quote me when the mock is finished. I'll make a list with the 224 players in that mock and then fill in the rest with central scouting. Should be another decent list (along with norrisnick's recent list) until we get McKenzie's list.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Will do.

Hello there,

I wanted to implement a few minor features that some might enjoy:

- You can now pick "no team" and simulate the entire draft. I guess it can be fun to see what the AI would do for the wings (AI Draper potentially going ham with nepotism picks? )
- You can now see other teams' picks during the draft. Again, it's just fun to look around and what steals the other teams might have ended with after your poor drafting decisions (or it might just be me...).
- There is now a randomness selector before you can start the draft. The default option is "Normal" which is what we've used until now. The other options are "Lower", "Lowest", "Higher" and "Highest". The top of the draft is mostly unaffected as we can still expect the top prospects to go in the first few picks in real life, so no, Bedard won't be available at 9

Jammed together a partial EP list and then filled it out with the leftovers from my last list. Cranked it up to highest randomness.

9 (1). William Smith (C)

What lack of scoring?

That EP list and Highest makes for some wild 2nd rounds...
