Will 3 QBs go top 10? I think at least 2 come off the board by 10 perhaps the 3rd as well. I hope one day Pete does implement the ability to trade up. If you pick 15 or later you are just stuck reaching for a need like QB. Would be so much better if we could wheel and deal to move up in the draft.

That would be amazing! It would add such escitement to the draft. A team at the top trades down for multiple picks...win win situation and exciting.

First QB on my board is at 19, then 25 and 28. Funny how we all look different at the same group of players. That's what I love about RZA, people can literally have opposing views on how to approach the game and still be successful.

With Hattrick (soccer management game) for example you had to train midfielders first, there was no other way about, it was by far the most effective strategy.

(of course american football has so many more factors than soccer so it will be more diverse and complicated but still...my point still stands)

Well, you know thomastem is a very intelligent man (?) and maybe he just wanted to gather some information
Or confuse somebody else...

I think this Gunner is by far the best project, isn't it?

I always try to draft for what I need... not always going for the "best" in the draft.

Not done me any harm!!!!

Since I have insomnia tonight I'll elaborate a little on my statement. The above quote hits on it.

QB is the most important position both in real life and RZA. While a QB may have less talent than a high talent player at another position the QB has higher value. For example if the the NFL were to redraft last year's recruitment class Goff and Wentz would still get drafted before Ezechial Elliot despite seeing that Elliot is much closer to the top of all RBs than Goff or Wentz are to all QBs.

This factor plus observations from past RZA drafts that QBs come off the board sooner than players with higher physicals do, at least to some degree, is why I predicted the QBs getting drafted early. Add to that the fact the QBs have traits in this draft lowering the risk of getting a lemon I think my QB predictions are going to be fairly accurate.

I sort the prospect firstly on their stats. Then I adjust my order according to my perceived needs. A backup QB for me will always be higher importance than another position to me so the QB prospect tend to skew slightly higher than another position . however that's three drafts in a row I have taken a QB I think, the other skill positions on offense have significant needs, but if the right QB falls to the right pick I will be making it four on the trot lol
