Why should the worst teams be forced to settle with high draft picks and unlimited choice? It is so back-asswards. The NFL needs to see the light and start saddling the best teams with the highest draft picks. Let the bad teams gorge themselves on those juicy late round picks.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I propose a draft based on the game show Supermarket Sweep. GMs race each other with shopping carts and get to keep every player they can carry to checkout. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I think they should draft from round 7 to round 1. Mr. Irrelevant gets picked first. Team that picks the worst player wins. Edited January 15, 2011 by BlueFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I think they should draft from round 7 to round 1. Speaking of the 7th round... Apparently there is an NFL by-law that prevents a team from having more than 10% of all the 7th round selections. This is to prevent the league from slipping back into "dynasty mode" as savvy teams would naturally pursue the tried and true strategy of accumulating the most late round picks to select the most marginal players.

Bangarang Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just what we need. Have the Patriots win the Super Bowl, only to be punished with the top pick in the draft so they can take a guys like Suh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it is time to resign from the administration. Hell no to a lottery and the draft is just fine the way it is. The only changes I propose is that the Bills get 2 first round draft choices to make up for the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I propose a draft based on the game show Supermarket Sweep. GMs race each other with shopping carts and get to keep every player they can carry to checkout. PTR It's an interesting idea, conceptually - but I can somehow see *Belicheat, in yet another underhanded attempt to gain competitive advantage, sneaking into to the supermarket the night before the draft, sabotaging the wheels of opposing GMs' shopping carts, and super-gluing key players to the shelves to slow the pace of his rivals - all the while laughing to himself as he takes his time, leisurely filling his own cart with plum picks. And - after the inevitable discovery, outcry of foul play, and subsequent investigation - BB* will smugly state that he's unaware of any rule prohibiting souped-up shopping carts, or secretly changing UPC bar codes on key prospects. Roger Goodell will claim the the league investigated thoroughly and, having found no evidence of wrongdoing, destroyed the all defective carts. As long as it isn't the owners. Buddy's up there in years, but he has a nasty streak. I could see him taking out several younger GMs through dirty tricks. The thought of Buddy lacing-up his Nikes and sharpening-up his elbows is intriguing - he could probably take out Polian - but no doubt our inept, meddling, and increasingly non-ambulatory old owner would still insist on hopping in his Taurus, driving himself to the market, and doing his own shopping! .

KRT88 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I think the draft should work like the eliminator contest. Once you draft a kid your eliminated form drafting anyone else from that school for 5 years. Your also eliminated from picking that conference the rest of the draft. Just think of the undrafted free agent possibilities then! Only 32 kids from the SEC would get picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 maybe put Yolanda Vega in charge of the draft....players would be assigned teams in a completely random way (a similar model to the bills war room of the last 10 years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the current draft system should be replaced by a rope race. Each coach and GM hold 1 end of a 18" piece of rope and line up at the 50 yard line. All the draft prospects line up in the end zone. When the ref blows his whistle, the coaches/GMs start for the end zone. First there, pick first.

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I propose a draft based on the game show Supermarket Sweep. GMs race each other with shopping carts and get to keep every player they can carry to checkout. PTR When it comes to the Bills, I would rather see . The Bills braintrust makes their selection then Monty Hall comes along and offers Bills fans the choice of keeping the selection or taking what's behind door #2. It's very possible that we could be preparing to watch the Bills vs. Steelers today if ole Monty could have offered us... - A #22 overall in '04 and a #20 overall in '05 for J.P. Losman OR... "what's behind door #2". - A #42 and #73 for McCargo in '06 OR... "what's behind door #2". - Donte Whitner OR Haloti Ngata. - Lynch, Posluszny, and Trent Edwards OR... "what's in the box". - Leodis Mckelvin (11th) and James Hardy (41st) OR... "a lifetime supply of Turtle Wax". - Aaoron Maybin OR Brian Orakpo. The choices that this organization has made over the past decade are truley sickening. But have faith because we are building through the draft... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I have a solution for the Bills drafting futility. For the sake of parity the commissioner should allow the laughable teams like the Bills to spy the draft boards of the teams that draft well, such as the Pats, Ravens, Packers and Steelers. In that way, the incompetent and weird drafting franchises such as the Bills and Raiders have a better chance at achieving parity than in the current flawd parity system.
