Draft File

[mattynokes]

Well, it was a good effort. Thanks for the discussion on the idea, guys!

My only concern ... what happens when/if you can't do it?

Nothing. The draft would roll on as normal. That's the beauty of it. Since I'd be editing 5-10 Mogul created draftees to my draftees, if it doesn't work or I can't do one season, no harm, no foul.

having a simple and easy to understand structure is what can help us gain new people to the mogul land.

adding this has basically no benefit and complicates things which would hurt recruiting efforts.

not one person has latched onto the idea of it being interesting watching prospects in a separate file either; not sure why you insist on shoving this idea down our gullets. if you want to be in the league, hop on the waiting list like a normal human.

New people would like say, "what's up with prospect John Smith *Signability Player*? And then it could be easily explained. Unless you're an inbred hillbilly that can only count to three because you lost two of your fingers, this is a pretty simple idea as for what GMs would have to do.

I'm not shoving this down anyone's throat. Andy and I talked about it, he was on the fence, but said to post and see what the league thinks. I'm just addressing the questions, concerns, and ill conceived notions after the file.

I do not want to be a GM again. I like an idea where I can be involved, have an impact, and only need to show up 2 times per season.

I also have a problem where a top talent in the draft could have very low signability and falls to one of the playoff teams and they take a chance (cause they were good and he looks like one of top players in the draft) and they end up getting lucky with rolls and they get to sign a top talent at the backend of the 1st round. I mean you’re just letting the rich get richer, no offense, but screw that.

I just disagree with every bit of your proposal, this is something that I feel will cause more problems/harm than good. When that happens, then it’s time to stay away.

It looks like this will all be for naught, but I still cannot take these type of reasons to be against it. You make it sound like signability could be different from year to year. It wouldn't. It would always be the same as what I posted, where players drafted in the Top 15 would always sign.

It's definitely true that a good team picking late could roll the dice on a signable player that fell and get lucky, but it is structured to help out the teams picking earlier.

I still do not see what problems (with the file) this could create. It's just simple editing of existing draftees
