2007 AMATEUR DRAFT DISCUSSION

[Jistic]

Holzberger = Stud
Richardson = Mels top rated RB


So how is Brooklyn drafting w/out an owner?

[Sully]

Wahington's is Excellent on RBs and Average on young talent...

[Jistic]

Well yeah, definitely worth the pick. . .just trying to get a feel for the difference in scout ratings. . .

Memphis and Denver's lead scouts are average in rb's and young talent
but
Yuma is good in rb's and good in young talent
while I'm sitting at average rb's and very good in young talent. . .

one of those things I think about on trying to figure out booms, busts, and boondoggles!

P.S. Washington is excellent in rb's and average in young talent. . .

so, I think it looks as though Washington got a good pick!

My scout at Richardson as under rated, and personally I agree. I think he's the best RB in the draft.

Apologies for the delay. I'd rather not spend the whole draft making picks for Brooklyn, so I'm researching the ability to let the CPU pick for them, in-game. So far that's proving unsuccessful, but give me a few minutes.

Hey guys, just got on and realized we were drafting! I'm sorry I wasn't around. This is gonna be fun.

[Dave]

Ok, what the hell. I assumed I could just manually draft up to Brooklyn's pick, in-game, and let the CPU pick for them. They're set to CPU control. So I pick up to #7 and then I can't pick anymore, but the CPU doesn't pick either. It just sits there. How do I make the CPU pick for them, in-game? Anyone got any great ideas?

Can't you set them to auto-draft on the draft utility?

[Guest]

Put them back in human control and select for the scout to make their pick. I think that might do it.

[Dave]

Figured it out. I had to blow through all the remaining FA stages so I could start the draft. Then I manually picked up to Brooklyn's pick, and then they auto-picked.

Hooray!

[Jistic]

Nice work.

[Guest]

You just made my choice really hard. :)

Trying to trade down here, give me just a sec to see if it is going to happen. Otherwise, I have my pick ready to hand to the commish. :)

[Guest]

OOOOH, our first draft day trade . . .an historic first. . . will it happen? Who's on the phone with Yuma? Mel Kiper, where are you?
