CAROLINA HUDDLE STUPID DRAFT GAME

  1. CAROLINA HUDDLE STUPID DRAFT GAME

     

Here is the draft game I invented for those of us with no reason for living, beyond Panther football:  (setting myself up for some constructive criticism)

RULES:

You predict players to be drafted by round, earning points if you are correct.  Here are the very specific yet simplistic rules:

1.       In the first round, you predict one player.  If you are correct and the player is chosen 24th overall, you get 24points.  If we trade back (to pick 30, for example) and the player is selected, you get the number of points aligned with the rank he was selected in the draft.  In this example, 30 points.   (If he is picked in the second round, no points awarded)

2.       In the second round, you get to select 2 players, because it is harder to predict second rounders.  If either is picked, you get the points.  For example, if you select Hurst and Ragnow in the second and we select Hurst at #55, you get 55 points. HOWEVER, If we select Hurst in the first round, however, you get ZERO points.

3.       In the third round, we currently have 2 picks.  You still may only select three players—you simply get 2 chances to be right. 

4.       There are no fourth round guesses unless we acquire a fourth rounder before the draft.  In the fifth round, you select five players. You get 6 guesses in round six, and seven guesses with two chances in round seven. If we trade out of a round, we all lose.

I have created a form to help ease confusion-if our draft picks change for any reason BEFORE the draft begins, make corrections, submit this info to this thread before the draft.

1.      First Round____________________ (For example, if you are correct and there are no trades, you win 24 points)

2.       Second Round____________________, __________________ (If either is selected and we pick at 55, you get 55 pts).

3.       Third Round ____________________, __________________, _________________ (3 guesses 2 picks if no trades)

4.       Fourth Round Xxxxxxxx (skip—even if we pick up a 4th rounder during a trade)

5.       Fifth Round____________________, __________________, _________________, _________________,

____________________ (a chance for 161 points if any of these players picked in 5th round)

6.       Sixth Round____________________, __________________, _________________, _________________,

____________________, __________________ (hopefully, by now, you get the idea)

7.       Seventh Round____________________, __________________, _________________, _________________,

____________________, __________________, _________________

 

TOTAL POINTS:_____________________

HONOR system.  I am not counting your points unless to verify the winner.  Complete entries are due before the draft begins.  At the end, lets say you got the first round and the fifth round right.  Add the points together and post your final score on the thread after the draft. 

PRIZES:  You get to use a pretty awesome image as your image or in your signature on the Huddle for 1 full year:  (see below--and I have not sought approval for this contest--nor will I.)  That is, of course for the winner. 

 

And the LOSERS will not go away empty handed:

 

For the last place finisher(s), or the people who get no points whatsoever, you must include as your image or in your signature “The Fasani”.  Randy Fasini will long be remembered as the only Panther starting QB in history to finish a game with a 0.0 quarterback rating.  You have apparently chosen to carry on the tradition.  Please let this brand be a reminder, at least for the next 365 days, how much weight others will give your opinions.

Just trying to have some fun.  If you do not like the idea, do not play.  If nobody plays, I shall wear the crown.

I doubt there will be "a" Fasani, there's likely to be multiple Fasanis. It wouldn't be difficult at all to completely whiff even picking sensible names.

I fully  expect there to be a bunch of Fasanis.  I am just going to try to avoid it.  Should be fun.  If I whiff, I will bear the Fasani in my sig.

I understand if you don't.  I have done this before and it is challenging.  Perhaps I should have started with a word search.

Yeah ok. I don’t really understand your scoring system but I’m game. 

Round 1 DJ Moore

Round 2 Justin Reid/ Nick Chubb

Round 3 Jessie Bates/ Kerryon Johnson/Chad Thomas

Round 5 Deadrin Senat/ Dalton Schultz/Ian Thomas/ Micah Kiser/Bo Scarborough 

Round 6 Daurice Fountain/Tegray Scales/Colby Gossett Jr/Nyheim Hines/John Kelly/Tony Adams

Round 7 Michael Joseph/ Chris Worley/ Chandon Sullivan/Daniel Carlson/ Brad Bozeman/ Brett Toth/ Skai Moore

That was tricky after a few drinks at the kite festival.

Ha. You  called it a system.  You simply get more points for hitting on late rounders.

    • If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.
    • In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.          
    • If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.
