naw I like bitching about what he does wrong better.

Hard to build a roster if you have to select positionless players like "Round 1, #21" 🤔

---

This reminds me of something I'm hoping to try to do before draft day.

I'm going to go to first-pick as if I were an expansion team substituting for Houston's draft position at the top of every round. Then, by trading down as much as I need/can, see what kind of 60-man roster (53 plus 7 practice squad) I can come up with in a single draft.

My guess is that this is going to take about an hour all-told. Anyone else interested in trying this experiment or seeing what I come up with if I find an hour between now and then?

Here ya go Wade,

Amazing the trades you get offered for that #1 pick overall, my original startegy was to trade down out of the 1st rnd, but after geting so many offers I decided to protect my rookie qb's by drafting an O-line early.

I ended up with 62 players, Offense....4-qb's, 4rb's, 1fb, 6wr's, 4 te's, 4 ot's, 4-og's
..............................................Defense...4 de's, 4dt's, 5olb's, 5 ilb's, 6cb's, 3 ss's, 3fs's, 1 k, 1 p

Didn't worry to much about the grades, as soon as you start repeating positions, they drop dramatically.

I cut Jarret Bush and everything seemed perfect.

This was actually a nice experience, so I've done it 14 times, I cut Jarret Bush 14 times and it was right every time.

Prove I'm better than TT? Okay

*cuts AJ Hawk and saves $5.1 million*

Tada! [grin1]

That was fun. Got the roster down to 53 with 7 draft picks in there. I didn't cut Bush or Hawk. I felt bad not bringing Jolly back 😞

Well, here is what I ended up. Like buckeyepackfan, I ended up with 66 players (though three of mine are possilbly IRed -- Colvin, Thomas, Millard. I also added 14 free agents to bring it up to the training camp roster. (List is first stab at initial depth chart.)

My strategy was simple. I'm a line guy, so first priority -- get top six OL. Second, get the DL starters. Skill positions last.

Planned to go 4-3 on defense, but 3-4 players fell and 4-3 players didn't, plus OL went a lot faster than expected, so changed targets mid-second.
Wide receivers: mostly wanted good route runners, plus speed in late rounds.
Running backs: wanted good receivers first (primary targets were Sims and Neal, got both), then speed option.
Quarterback: wanted space fillers until year three, plus possible developmental.
Knew risk was going to be back 7 on defense, and proved to be so. Wanted both E J Gaines and Ahmad Davis, got neither. But am happy with the two lines. Also picked up an extra 1st rounder in 2015.
