Could you do a Zazzali Draft guide?

I'm coming up on the 2nd year of the Zazzali draft. I'm in week 13 right now, and I haven't found any guys that really jump out at me. 1 LT that's compared to Orlando Pace, 2 future 50 QBs that I don't need, and 1 reciever that looks pretty solid. I don't need any receivers or QBs, so needless to say it's not looking very good at this point.

Will you add extra years as they come, or are those randomized?

you might also think of adding guys heights and weights since their names change in the later rounds.

The schools stay the same even though the names are random. No need for height and weight.

yeah, you're right. The reason I say that though, is I like to get the freak athletes, and it would be nice to have it printed out in front of me. I drafted a WR that's 6'7", and he's a stud. Mostly I was just curious to see what he looks like, and I'm glad I grabbed him, he's been great, and is really easy to spot from the blimp camera angle.

It's not a big deal.

I too love the freak athletes. From the Sweetney draft year 2, Horace Tucker (WR) is 6'6". He may seem not that impressive on my sheet, but he is my favorite WR from the Sweetney draft thus far.

I kind of don't want to add the height/weight thing though because that would definitely overload the spreadsheet with too much info, making it harder to read.

The order of the guides I will be doing is:

1. Sweetney (just need to finish year 1 now)
2. Ozzie Jones (I already have the first year mapped out, but not all of the potentials)
3. Zazzali

Erra has expressed interest in doing a Jack English guide in a similar format, so he can work on that. I wasn't planning on making one for the English path, as I think it is way too stacked for my tastes. Working with a suggestion made by Erra, I have developed a method that makes it easier to gather info. So the guides should be coming relatively quicker.

I've never tried to attach a file before, but hopefully here's the Sweetney guide with my conditional formatting in it. It will highlight all 90+ ratings green, all 85-89 Aqua and all 82-84 yellow so you can get a visual idea which guys are pretty well rounded. Even the unfilled cells have the formatting, so as you plug in numbers the highlights will show up.

I also made it so all Florida players get a highlight too since I'm a UF fan and like to try and draft those guys if I can.
