Man, I cannot wait the next 3 days. I don't think, however, that this draft I will get my #1 overall choice. If I get any of my top 5 choices then people aren't doing their homework! lol

yer with the 36th pick I will be lucky if I get one of my top 20 wish players.

First season I got all three in the top 16 wish players

Damn these guys who have learnt to pay attention to the draft

It's like christmas for a little child. I can't wait to see my new frenchise super stars. On the other side, this draft could also be a disaster compared to my first 2 drafts.

I'm excited AND afraid. Season one was: WOW!!! Season two was: Yeah! And I'm afraid season three will be: Okay.

Last season my draft was very good, because I got players I needed most. Now I need only one player, there rest isn't as important. My draft board isn't listed yet...

That is exactly the point I have no answer for

What to do if you are "full of stars" on your roster. Will there be a time when rich teams just kick their draftees, not spending a single thought on them?

But we will see

I doubt it very much because to me the question is ...where do you get your "superstars" from ??, and I only see 3 real sources
(1) Draft (2) Build your own in the YA (3) Buy them on the TM

(3) Has obvious limitations i.e. lack of supply and lack of money ! ...TM inflation is here to stay ( maybe until player wages/coach wages eventually strangle some of the biggest spending teams).

(2) is an interesting idea ...but you'd need to get the "raw material" i.e. a really great youth pull at 16 who caps at the right level and then gets "super-pumped" by extra training points for approx 4 years ....so ...possible but not easy and quite rare

(1) a regular supply (three per season) and all at 22 years or less.....so even if a team has many stars, they could dump the older stars on the TM and replace with these draftees.

It would really amuse me to see teams that are so stacked with talent that they don't need their draftees but I don't see it happening for a long time ...if ever.

Actually, I think this maybe the first season that a lot of draftee aren't immediately pushed into the starting line up and I wouldn't be surprise if the better teams were selling some of their 3rd round pick.

All 3 of my season 1 guys are starters for me. I got two more starters in season 2, but my 3rd (late) round guy plays but isn't really one of the better player at his position. Same could be true this season.

I do wonder if a lot of "lesser" draftees will be hitting the market??
