    Start a team with seven positions

    I started the name thing (Colts players only), very early in the thread. The idea behind it was to show that many combinations could work if you had the right guys, and to show what might have been in the Peyton years if we had that luxury. Supes jumped on that premis pdq and made a few very interesting observations.

     

    My bad if it threw the thread off kilter.

    And I thought that's why you did it, as that's the effect it had on me, but it was followed by 'let's play Madden' type scenarios. 

     

    I was waiting for a Bears fan to chime in with Ditka playing every position.

    But they got two 1st rounds and a 4th round pick for a guy who wasn't going to play for them and will demand a record contract.   Would you have been happy if the Colts gave those picks for him?

     

    My answer would be 'no'. Because I trust in Ballard's ability to do more with those picks than Ramsey would offer overall. PLUS, I would have rather spent less on Fitz.

    Ok.  I can see that. 

     

    There were a few comments that talked about putting the best players in the NFL in certain positions all on one team.  I read Superman's premise being more about positions on the team where you want top players, not really about which NFL players you want at those positions.  

     

    I agree. It wasn't meant to name names, just what's your priority positions.

    You haven't made the picks yet. But, some started naming names, and even including historic names. 

     

    I think your original point is important to the process, though.

    How the rest of the roster is being filled is important, AND, how that roster looks after this practice one thing, but what it allows you to do afterwards is another. IE, I don't think having an all pro QB is important. I'd rather give the average QB protection, and a couple of weapons, and let them become a really good QB. Ala, Brady, and others.

    And here's a twist.  I don't think you'd want, or could, devote a first round draft pick for each of those positions.  I don't think you could have all-pros at each position.

     

    Theoretically, it would take seven years to build your team.  The first two guys you drafted would have to be re-signed, franchised, etc.  Not an insurmountable problem, but you might have to devote a couple of second round picks to get your desired 7 players.

     

    You could sign veteran FA coming off of their rookie contracts, but that can also create problems.

     

    I think the premise is more like.....pretend you're awarded a new franchise, and the pool of protected players is small, leaving a lot of top notch players available. Or, maybe, everyone's a free agent, and you're picking teams in the playground.

    Nah, JAG is someone like Flacco for most of his career, not someone just out of the top five. Look at my TE examples in the OP, you're getting the Tyler Eifert of QBs. Jimmy G might qualify, but Russell Wilson is an MVP candidate right now. 

    Then Jimmy G or Wentz

    My fantasy is very similar although instead of Luck making a comeback, I am sitting alone at home watching X-Factor, when the doorbell goes, and it's Beyoncé, Katie Perry, Heidi Klum and a few of their friends, asking if they can come in for a game of 'Celebrity Cludeo'. You know, "Natalie Portman, in the Library with a Candlestick.........

     

    'Wake up BHC, your pizza is here........'

    We'll, I'm guessing a lot of us are going to be finding out what Cludeo is soon.

     

    You in marketing?

    DB's 'panic' all the time, hence the 5-Yard Holding Penalties resulting in an automatic First Down. They also 'panic' on the deep down the field PI calls too quite often.

     

    I didn't have to play in the NFL at all to know this...

     

     

    They also panic seeing the big Q coming their way.
