Any thoughts? (I'm using the latest version of Excel - Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016)

In all honesty the draft day planner sheet is a bit crap. I’m going to try and rewrite for the next version but it doesn’t work well currently. I think it’s because it’s looking at both TVR and projected round and ends up getting confused between the two. But yeah it sucks. Swing and a miss. Sorry.

In other words, is it possible to build some extra risk/bust potential into the sheet?



The reason I ask is that I've been trying to replicate the real-life phenomenon of scouting a guy hard but having a pretty reasonable shot of missing, despite the effort.



In-game, if you scout all the traits, you can never draft a player under 70 until the end of the draft. If you scout only 1-2 traits, you introduce more risk, but in a way that feels silly to me, like playing a game one-handed.



I'd kind of like to be able to take things out of my hands a bit, scout hard, input the data, and go by a big board compiled by my "scouting department" that has some variability built in regarding the accuracy of the reports.



If this is a totally insane or idiosyncratic request, please disregard, but I'm wondering if others are interested in something similar and if it could be done with relative ease by someone with your expertise.

No plans to do that and it would be quite hard for me to do. Sorry!

Above Average Combine

Draft Stock Rises

Draft Stock Skyrockets

Great Combine

Top Combine performer



Its hard enough to pick even if his 40 was really off the charts but with it being about average any clue as to what to pick here?

What was his previous projected round? What is it now? This is the only way you’re going to be able to tell for sure, but I’d say it’s likely to be either above average combine or great combine.

I just have one suggestion to improve it but I am no expert at excel so I am not sure if its even possible. Is there a way to have those two tabs update as your putting X's next to players drafted? That way when you get to your pick it an accurate Top players remaining and draft day planner who is currently the best pick available when you're actually at your pick?

Yeah this is possible. Good suggestion.
