Board 8 > Board 8 National Football League League (B8NFLL) Season 10: The Offseason

(+) Yeah! (+)

Both of my top two QBs, Mauk (30 yrs, 83) and Foles (24?, 81) are on the block, possibly to move up in the first or just for a better QB/to get rid of cap space

Vikings 1st round pick (25th overall)

Panthers/Titans trade is official

Scare: Man I feel bad for autodrafting all the time, it puts a lot of work on KCF

KCF: *Aquires every pick in the draft*
---

I will own every second rounder
---

Ravens cut WR Stanley Henry
---

You'll take the Giants 2nd round pick from our dead blue hands you dolphin bastards
---

*aggressively looks up Non Dolphin safe Tuna*
---

I am half tempted to veto just to slow this march of madness, but they look to be mostly fair trades.
---

I'm only looking to make one more trade after this, and then I think that I am good on pre-draft trades.
---

I think I've sent out more PMs this year about trades than any other but ended with up with less trades.

Everybody should know my doors are always open even for players I've just acquired!

Dolphins/Ravens trade is official, but @WalkingWiki still needs to confirm it.

I'm waiting on a reply from elsewhere to finish up my free agents but if I don't get it in the next day I'll just finish them up any way and forget about it

Last year after the draft, KCF highlight the 3 players from each round that he liked the most for their fit/future potential. 1 year on let's see where they are!

Round 1
DE J.J. Watt (Redskins) - 83 and starting
HB DeMarco Murray (Hawks) - 88 and starting
OLB Nick Perry (Pumpkins) - 84 and starting

Round 2
HB Lamar Miller (Rams) - 86 and second on depth chart
FS Tyrann Mathieu (Jets) - 84 and second on depth chart
TE Jordan Reed (Pumpkins) - 80 and second on depth chart behind someone about to retire

Round 3
WR Demaryius Thomas (Lightning) - 82 and third on depth chart
TE Ladarius Green (Redskins) - 79 and only TE on roster
SS Shawn Williams (Colts) - 79 and 2nd/3rd on depth chart. Might take a few years

Round 4
DT Earl Mitchell (Wildcats) - 78 and highest rated DT on roster
G Reggie Buckles (Packers) - 77 and second on depth chart
OLB Demetrius Adams (Buccaneers) - 74 and probably starting. Jeeze that Tampa LB corps is putrid

Round 5
DT Nick Taylor (Vikings) - 75 and third on depth chart
WR Michael Floyd (49ers) - 79 and third on depth chart
MLB Brandon Thompson (Titans) - 70 and buried on depth chart by recent trade

Round 6
G Greg Davis (Seahawks) - 75 and weakest G on roster
C Jason Kelce (Jets) - 74 and third on depth chart
SS Antonio Moore (Hawks) - 72 and third on depth chart

Round 7
C Ben Jones (Bengals) - 74 and second on depth chart
DT Chauncey Pain (Colts) - 70 and fourth on depth chart
DT Greg Neato (Lions) - 69 and fourth on depth chart

To be fair, Thompson isn't that far down considering I run a 3-4 and Kassell is on the verge of retirement (and a FA). Plus I dunno if KCF was considering the fact that I was thinking of moving Thompson to OLB when he made him one of his Round 5 choices. *shrug*
---

I mean when you're picking players that far down, it's not like they are going to be starters any time soon. He acknowledged that from the 4th round onwards in his original post.

This was what he said about him

With the pick I gave the Titans in an earlier draft-day trade, the Titans select the player that I was going to select if available just five picks after. Jerk. The Titans have like 10 LBs, and even if that number drops, it doesn't appear that he will get much playing time. However, I have the feeling that as long as the soul-sucking experience that is playing on the Titans' defense doesn't destroy him at his core, he could be on the team for a lot longer than most fifth round picks.

Maybe I will do that again this season. I forget if I did that pre or post-rookie draft pick signings. Probably post since many users sign their rookies as soon as the draft ends.
---

You also had Ryan Perrilloux as the worst ever pick for his draft position!

Granted you did say he still had time to improve

To be fair, Perrilloux sucked last season as a passer. Broncos won due to their sensational defense and running game.
---

HB Lamar Miller (Rams) - 86 and second on depth chart

I would like to point out that I was called some unkind names for not drafting Miller R1 and that Isaih Pead taken late in the draft is....an 85 on my squad.
---

Bumpers

Guys, I honestly wasn't expecting to get an offer I liked from a WR needy AI team but well here we are. I'm so sorry.

Titans Receive:
DE Zach Latimer (89 OVR, 29 years old)

Broncos Receive:
WR Keary Colbert (90 OVR, 32 years old)

Trust me, it hurts me more than it hurts you all! =(

KCF can confirm he reached out to a number of AI teams and that the Broncos are willing to make this trade.

Man I'd have made that trade in an instant. High rated available DEs are like rocking horse shit, especially at that age

I'm also going to assume that how AI judges positions is partially based on contract value (I.e. they likely value the positions that demand a high contract more than the ones that don't)

Doing business with the Broncos? How could you
---

Broncos/Titans trade is official
---

bump
---

Only about 32 hours left. Then it's draft board time!
---

I'm amazed I haven't been able to flip another trade. Guess I'll tie up my remaining guys tonight

Oh whoops, for some reason I had it in my head the deadline was the 15th. I think cause KCF said it was 15 days total, which I just misremembered. Guess I'll get mine in soon too.
---

Trade Alert!

Bills Recieve
QB Ben Olson

Giants Recieve
QB Brady Quinn
---

I feel like the giants should receive a bit more compensation since they're getting a qb 3 years older, but they are rated the same and both are expiring so I don't have a big issue with it. No veto.

I'm fine with it even with the age difference because the Giants look to be in cap trouble and this allows them to lop off the signing bonus this year and deal with thr hit next year. Not sure whether that actually saves money compared to a longer term contract though

Why are the Giants selling so low on Olson who has improved every year that he's been in the league?
---

It was mostly a spur of the moment sort of deal.

Plus as youve been quick to note in the past Olsons performance hasnt paced with his overall and surrounding talent while Quinn has.

That said, I am fully willing to withdraw this trade if the league believes I am getting a raw deal
---

Man, looking at the spreadsheet I hope we see some more activity in re-signing players otherwise a lot of teams are going to end up losing a lot of good players due to inactivity.

More players for me

After I signed my priority FAs, I wanted to know what my cap situation was looking like and KCF told me he wouldn't have updated cap figures for me until like right before the deadline. So chances are that a lot of those teams that look like they haven't signed their FAs yet actually have (like the Titans).

Just wanted to type something up real quick:

Not sure if eddv still wants to swap DTs, but I thought he also wanted to swap Raji for Simon. I will confirm a trade without them if he wants though. I also confirm a trade with them included.

Oh right, you hadn't brought that up again but that was admittedly mostly about cap space.

I would be happy to re-include it but it sounds like we may need to spice up the deal a little bit somehow.

If I somehow gave you false information like this then I apologize because Quinn has had an inconsistent career.
---

Ok then, trade withdrawn sorry stevr.
---

Nah, that's fine. I figured you were trying to get a younger DT who performed well last season and just dumping the older one with a big contract since Raji had a good stat line last year in his first year starting for us.

Brady Quinn was pretty mediocre for us 2 seasons ago when we were hit by some pretty rough inuries, but his stat totals have actually been surprisingly good when you factor in my first season when he was backing up Hasselbeck (who got hurt fairly often during games).

His totals in my tenure are 447-744 (60.1% completion rate), 5487 yards (7.4 yards per attempt), 50 TDs, 23 INTs. Pretty good in all considering this last season was his first full one that he started for the Bills.

Granted, I don't know what he did before I took control of the Bills, and I'm not sure how much of that was a product of having Chad Johnson to throw to.

He's still on the market for anyone looking for a QB!

I am still willing to do Simon for Raji, but that is strictly a salary dump move for me and I don't know that you need Simon.
---

Will send mine when I get home from work. If some don't want to sign, maybe it's a sign that I need a bit of a blowup to shake things up.

UFA period is now over

Update tomorrow
