Can someone pull Tubby in and fill him in if needed, so we can get dispersion draft going?

Yep-Think we got it figured out now for the most part, nice job gents!

I think we find the 3 teams, we may even have them already. We hold a draft soon to distribute the players to these teams (As stated earlier CMac, Hill, Kittle, Hopkins are all there). We would need to decide if this draft would be snake or not).

---

Here are some thoughts I had on these obviously open to vote and debate...


Thought about this one, and think a snake draft is not the way to go. Challenge is positional scarcity and draft can become more strategic about combating other teams than trying to draft best talent. Only so many QB and TE especially and waiting and extra pick on bookends makes draft more about playing each other than picking BPA.

Think we can all agree CMC is number 1 player overall (some may say Barkley), Hopkins 2, and Tyreek 3. I think you have a lottery to see who picks 1st and person who does gets CMC (pick 1,4, 7, etc) and worst draft situation and person with Tyreek gets best. That's one way to handle it.

I would also be ok to give them some sort of waiver advantage after rookie draft as players will have to get cut to make room. Ideas are maybe Tyreek owner 1st priority, CMC last and give them each 2 moves before rest of us get a run at open field. Certainly this isnt in bylaws so not necessary.

Metalmat was the guy I vouched for when the war broke out midseason-ha.

Hes posted several pages back sharing interest, in 2 other dynasty leagues with me and very active.

T-Town knows him as well.

Let's stick to 14 this year and if shite hits the fan consider a disbursement next year? Who do we need to replace, my cousin was interested but not sure for Deebz team as it's most depleted and without draft capital this year. I'd be willing 10 bucks to foot some of bill for entry and this year is a lost cause if everyone agrees to help? As mentioned shouldnt be hard to replace a team with CMC, its 3 times better than team I took over 2 years ago-lol.

I have several thoughts about the reduction from 14 to 12 teams......(sorry quite long):

First off not sure this helps retention-just because we have 2 less teams doesn't mean it's any more likely that less teams will want to leave. In dynasty football people get frustrated and quit on a situation, happens in every league over time....it's not for everyone. Sometimes you mortgage future and injuries kill you or rebuild goes south and you don't hit on picks. Every time we've needed to we've been able to find people to take over a team quickly, I still have a guy that will take over a team pretty quickly if needed. A few of us know each other in real life, but reality is this is always going to be a problem long term-we aren't a bunch of home town buddies....we are a dynasty league of random people on a message board for the most part (there isn't as strong of a tie to keep someone engaged).

Secondly, I don't like the idea if we go to 12 to reduce bench size and/or starting requirements. That makes the league more shallow and tilts the scales to the folks that already have the CMCs and Barkleys of the world-doesn't make it any more likely that a team in the bottom half will get back on track. All it does is increase variability and advantage teams who have built strong teams have. If we go to 12 I think we should add 2 roster spots to each team not reduce....do you really want a dynasty league where people can stream QB and TE off the waiver wire, becomes more like redraft IMO. This shifts balance from needing more top end stars and less depth (as you'll be able to pull from the wire). Sort of stinks for me because I've been trading higher end pieces for depth The teams at the bottom aren't that far off from being competitive-once you get in the playoffs anything can happen especially with injuries. Tyler Higbee, Breshad Perriman, and Kenyan Drake were top 5 players at their position during playoff weeks this year. This 2020 draft will shake a lot of things up especially at RB position, teams you think are good to great now will have a lot of holes once these rookies get placed.

I don't see any fair way to do a player distribution from 2 teams using the draft. I should keep my mouth shut as I have 5 first round picks that I have been strategically stock piling over the last few years in a rebuild....but what about the teams that traded away their firsts to me? Not fair to them as TTT pointed out as they didn't know what was at stake. This makes these first much more valuable. Just remember if you have a dispersion draft you are tipping the scales the other way significantly by letting someone grab DeAndre Hopkins with the first pick in a rookie draft-he's a top 5 startup piece and worth 3 1sts...not fair to the TTT and Thoms of the world who built strong teams already (and this is coming from the guy who again would benefit most from this). I don't want to win based on some dispersion draft, I want to earn it. This happens and I can promise people get pissed and league falls apart.

We need to set the draft order now through lottery so we can start shopping for teams, or make a decision about reduction so we can keep this thing active and moving. Regardless of if we go 14 or 12 some of us own those teams pics for those teams that would be going away....but we still need to know their draft slot because it's only fair that we get to still make the picks.

Ultimately the people who want to leave didn't do so hot and already traded off their draft pics so they don't see light at the end of the tunnel. That's honestly pretty shitty, I wouldn't leave a league when I already mortgaged part of future. I like the leagues I'm in that force you to pay next years dues to trade a 1st-it's smart because it keeps people locked in. If you are a really bad team you should be excited for next season because you get a stud in rookie draft but if you robbed peter to pay paul and it didn't work out-that's when people want to quit.

Sorry to be long winded, and thanks if you read all the way through...wanted to get all that off my chest.

Unless of course you own the cheat code at quarterback.
