Improving the all time draft ideas/draft schedule (not a sign up)

First idea off the top of my head is to have someone other than Thee run it.

I looked into that and found it wasn’t a viable option.

I had an idea, might be dumb, but I was thinking it might be interesting to have a young player draft. The idea would be only players under a certain age or players that were drafted after a certain draft (maybe 2022 and higher).

I think you would have to limit it to only a certain amount of participants and do it modified snake draft. I think it would be interesting to compare draft strengths. If you really wanted to get crazy you could make it like an annual thing where you keep your same team and add to it, and then there would be the element of picking young players that will improve in the future.

There was a great idea for an improvement we all came up with.

It’s buried in last year’s All Time Draft thread.

Anyone remember that idea?

Haha love the creativity, but too crazy for me

That’s a big reason I made this thread I think it came from @Bawse Dawg

Ok here was my suggestion from last year..

I think most seem to be having a rough time putting together a team this year.

Hopefully we can relax the rules a bit with my proposal for next year to bring the “fun” back into the game.

Proposed restriction: First 5 picks consisting of 3 from pre 2000 and 2 from post 2000.

Yeah I mean what’s the harm of trying something new? Again there’s restrictions there - it’s just relaxed a bit.

A few have said we should try something different - this isn’t gonna break anything - but it could make it could lead to more combinations of players and hence more fun in putting together a team.

That’s exactly the problem though, the restrictions mean you have to pass on certain players you may like cos you’ve already picked another player in that era.

That’s the reason he fell this far.

In summary:

Proposed restriction: First 5 picks consisting of 3 from pre 2000 and 2 from post 2000.

It would allow for more flexible roster & combination.

As an example, with the previous rules we could never get a team with the Malone & Stockton combination, cos they’re both drafted in the 1980’s.

With this new rules you can.

It would make it more fun imo.

For the All-Time draft, place the players drafted in the 2020s in a separate era from 2010s. So each person drafting would now be required to have the first 6 picks be from 6 separate eras (1. 70s and earlier, 2. 80s, 3. 90s, 4. 00s, 5. 10s, 6. 20s. (The old system was 5 eras with 10s and 20s grouped together).

I like this. Keeps with our strategy which I like.
