I'm averaging projected point totals from numerous sources. Then I'm applying that data to the salary cost to figure out which players give the highest expected return in relation to cost. PPPC (projected points per cost) if you will. With this information I'm creating a roster that mathematically has the maximum projected points possible given the restraints of cap space and player cost.

 

The mathematics pushed me into picking players I wouldn't normally. From my own personal eye test it looks like a middle of the road roster but this is what the math gives me as the best possible roster combination overall (at least according to projections). This will be the first week I'm trying this out, I'll update with how it goes.

This is what I do as well using footballguys projections. 

 

Hasn't worked very well lol

Somewhat promising results, still needs some fine tuning. I had 4 guys really flop and fall way under projections and still came within 2 points of cashing playing the double up. Actually I would have cashed if not for the built in house juice, oh well. Anyway, normally you can only get away with one or two flops for a week and still cash so this is actually somewhat promising even though I just barely missed the money.

 

I did all the calculations by hand this time but I'm gonna go ahead and write a program that will run through all possible roster combinations (I think there's about 600 million) and spit out the top 10 maximum projected rosters possible. Then I'll choose a few to play from there. Also, going to research to find the most accurate projections as those are key.

Nice. I think I will do the same and we can compare rosters. Unfortunately I don't have the software to run through all 600M combos but can do a few hundred thousand or use a solver.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
