Interesting draft...... similar some top players... some risky player but overall its decent draft.

I am looking in detail and will post my Top 5 picks...

So what's your thought and what is your top 5 picks for 2005 Draft?

Completely lost my train of thought from the Brazilian bikini ad below the post.

Let's regain the thought GrandadB..... :)

OK, back to the game, lol. A lot of how you rank the draft also depends on your team need and then there are other considerations like vol, position importance, new game version, key atts. So, with all that in mind... I would rank em this way:
1.. CB Arvisu 2. LB Leblanc 3. LB Hurt 4. SS Trott 5. LDE Carter

QB Dudley is tempting but has the high vol. Im not big on drafting an OL in the top 20, but if you are so inclined, obviously there is C Canty in the top 5 with 20 vol. LB Pollack is the top rater, but he comes with 82 vol, and since Ive been burned of late on high vol picks in the first round, I will play it a lot safer now. I put a premium on DBs & WRs in the first round, which is why Ive got Arvisu as my #1.

Am I the only one who doesn't look at the draft class seriously until the night before the draft??? I always intend to dig in early but stuff keeps taking my time, like my 9 other teams. Most of those have either just drafted or are about to, so as usual I wait until the last minute to put my queue together.

I'm a procrastinator by nature, plus I usually pick no earlier than mid twenties so I don't spend much time looking at the top of the class. When I have a 1st round pick, I put X number of players in my queue equal to my draft spot, 30 in this league.

I work nights/sleep during the day so all I have to deal with is what's left in my queue when I wake up.

Come on guys... no comments around 2005 Draft?

No you're not alone.

For once I'm picking high....please please don't bust! As such I'm not posting my top t ;)

I am like RaiderGreg

The night before the draft I say oh there is draft coming up...

Next what does this team need. In the Saints case a better GENERAL MANAGER!!!!

Then I wait to see who is falling.... I don't worry about who I am picking until about 5 picks before I have to make the selection.

I prefer the later rounds where I look for diamonds and hope that no one has seen them. Usually not the case but I am always hopeful.

That the otterpop draft logic.... It is messed up but hey it is what is :)

i gotta do mine early. As soon as the class comes out.

After seeing what changes i want to make, i'll go through the draft board and group the players by position and by priority. With that done I can hit FA go through trade offers (mostly from trade guru hkpman7180) and see whats there within my budget. FA is a great place to overpay for guys. Sometimes ya gotta do it and sometimes ya don't. Depends on the situation your in atm i guess. On draft day I just keep an eye on the board and adjust as we go.

Thanks for giving Bus Owner & GM new name - trade guru ... :)
