Pass's One and Done Thread

Passacaglia · 12-24-2007, 12:19 PM

I'm still at step zero right now: loading the save game. Quik suggested that I use his frfoot.fgr file, which I think I was already doing -- it's a lot like mine, FOFL based, except his team, Chesapeake, is actually called White Rock in his file. Weird.

It occurred to me that maybe I need to patch to 6.1a for this to work. Trying that now.

No luck -- back to the drawing board.

Doh -- I needed to extract to universe, not leagues. Loaded up now.

Okay, finally getting started on this. Looks like I don't have the #1 pick in every round. I guess Oakland went 0-16 also. Figures. Anyway, time to wheel and deal.

I do some interviews -- basically the top 60 guys, but I reach down to be sure I interview a couple FBs and TEs. Nothing special.

My next move is trading down. I deal down to #2, getting Oakland's 3(1) in the process. I'm hoping to god they don't take T Bryan Clemons, since he looks like a stud. So why don't I just draft him now? I dunno.

Oakland takes...QB Roy Harrison! I didn't expect a QB to go that high, but now I'm worried. There's not much QB talent in this draft, and 3 of the top 4 came in as overrated -- the only one who didn't was Peter Briggs. I really want both Clemons and Briggs, but I think that will cost me too much.

So I trade down with the other Bay area team, San Francisco, moving to #3, and getting their 3(3). San Fran needs a QB even more than Oakland does, but unlike Oakland, they need a tackle. They go with...QB Myron Mason! The good news is that both Briggs and Clemons are there, so I can trade down again. The bad news is....well, I still want them both!

I press my luck, trading down to #4 with Atlanta. I give them my 1(3) and my 3rd next year, and get their 1(4) and 2(4). They have a good LT, so I hope they won't take Clemons, and an 11/51 2nd year QB, so I hope they don't take Briggs.

Wow. Atlanta selects QB Malcolm Sweeney -- I was thinking I could have lived with him. Okay, it's time to pull the trigger and get Briggs, I think.

I trade a mess of picks (7th this year, 1st and 4th next year, 2nd and 3rd in two years) to get Clemons at 5.
