Alternate Reality Game 1: Chiefs
The original post is below in blue, but let's summarize it here based on the past few years.
1. If you're a new player, start with the current Chiefs roster. If you've been playing for a while you'll have your own evolved roster. 2. You can add any free agent that the Chiefs add. 3. You lose any free agent that the Chiefs lose, but only if they were on the Chiefs' roster when you began playing. 4. You can accept or reject any trade the Chiefs make as long as any Chiefs player involved is currently on your roster. 5. You do not get players that the Chiefs draft. You draft your own players, using the same draft picks that the Chiefs have. 6. You can trade down ONE time before the draft or after the draft. If you trade down before the draft, you get up to full value for your pick according to this chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-V...-Rich-Hill.asp. (Note: this chart was updated in 2022.) If you trade down after the draft, the value of the picks you trade must be discounted by at least 25 percent. Any trade down must involve only the picks of one NFL team, and you cannot receive more than two picks more than you give up. (In other words, if you trade away one draft pick you cannot pick up more than three in return.) The other team's picks also must be picks that they held prior to the opening of the draft. See the examples at the bottom of the post. 6. You can trade up ONE time before the draft or after the draft. If you trade up before the draft, you get up to full value for your pick according to this chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-V...-Rich-Hill.asp. (Note: this chart was updated in 2022.). If you trade up after the draft, the value of the picks you trade must be discounted by at least 15 percent. Any trade up must involve only the picks of one NFL team. The other team's picks also must be picks that they held prior to the opening of the draft. 7. By the beginning of the season, you must reduce your total roster to include only 53 players. Original post: You can ignore this now.
Spoiler!
Added Rules and Reminders: 1. Remember that you can draft undrafted rookies, so you don't have to select only guys who were drafted. 2. Anyone can change their rookie draft selections at any time, UNTIL we reach ten days before training camp. At that point, all picks will be locked in. 3. Each team can do ONE trade of draft picks if they like, using this chart:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...t-trade-chart/. However, if you're trading up, you have to pay 15 percent more than the stated value of the picks you're obtaining. If you're trading down, your pick's value will be discounted by 25 percent. For example, if you want to trade up from the 20th pick in the 1st to the 10th pick, you can see from the chart that the 20th pick is worth 259 points. The 10th pick is normally 369 points, but by paying 15 percent more, it will cost you 1.15*369, or 424 points. So you would need to come up with another 165 points to make the deal (424-259) For example, if you want to trade down from the 20th pick in the 1st and pick up the 10th pick in the 2nd, your 20th pick would normally be worth 259 points, but in this game it will be worth 25 percent less, or 194 points. The 10th pick in the 2nd is worth 142 points, so you can get 52 points back from the other team. (Remember that you cannot pick up more than two extra picks in the trade, so consider your math carefully.) You can do only ONE draft-pick trade up and ONE draft-pick trade down, and in each case you can only trade with one other team for their own picks. (In other words, you couldn't take the 52 points in the above example from a third team.) Last edited by Rain Man; 04-25-2024 at 11:30 AM.. |

Welp, one of my hopeful breakout player of the year (Drew Sanders, LB, Broncos) tore his Achilles today. Not a great start to the year.

Analysis:
Feel pretty good about my offense overall with All-pro caliber players at QB, RB, TE, OG, and OC. WR is missing a standout, but has quite a bit of depth as a whole. Mahomes will be able to cook. Defense is a bit spotty. My draft picks have either developed into JAGs or suffered from repetitive injuries limiting their development. |

2024 Superior Yetis Roster
As a preface, I am accepting the trade of a 2025 7th round pick for DE Cameron Thomas. I am very pleased with the roster and had to make some difficult roster cuts this year (see Notable Cuts). Bold denotes my projected starters. QB Patrick Mahomes II D1-10/17 (KC) QB Carson Wentz KC FA/24 (KC) RB Aaron Jones D5-180/17 (MIN) RB Tyler Allgeier D4-135/22 (ATL) RB Rasheen Ali D5-160/24 (BAL) TE Travis Kelce TE Cade Otton D3-103/22 (TB) TE Jared Wiley D4-131/24 (KC) TE Noah Gray D5-162/21 (KC) WR Hollywood Brown FA/24 (KC) WR Gabriel Davis D4-125/20 (JAX) WR Xavier Worthy D1-28/24 (KC) WR Tyler Boyd D2-37/16 (TEN) WR A.T. Perry D5-169/23 (NO) WR Troy Franklin D3-95/24 (DEN) WR Malik Washington D5-173/24 (MIA) LT Bernhard Raimann D2-62/22 (IND) LG Joe Thuney FA/21 (KC) OC Erik McCoy D2-48/19 (NO) RG Trey Smith D6-221/21 (KC) RT Jawaan Taylor FA/23 (KC) LT Rasheed Walker D7-233/22 (GB) LG Teven Jenkins D1-31/21 (CHI) OC Hunter Nourzad D5-144/24 (KC) RT Ethan Driskell UDFA/24 (KC) DL Justin Madubuike D2-64/20 (BAL) DL Zach Sieler D7-219/18 (MIA) DL Mazi Smith D1-31/23 (DAL) DL Dante Stills D6-209/23 (ARZ) DL Desjuan Johnson D7-249/23 (LAR) ER Matt Judon D4-129/16 (ATL) ER George Karlaftis D1-30/22 (KC) ER Jaylen Harrell D7-252/24 (TEN) ER Cameron Thomas T7-ARZ/24 (KC) ER Charles Omenihu FA/23 (KC) ER K.J.

We had some tough decisions this year.
QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) Aidan O'Connell (Raiders) Carson Wentz Notable cuts: Blaine Gabbert, but that's expected. Russell won the starting job in Pittsburgh, and O'Connell lost the starting job in Las Vegas. I'm serviceable here but at some point I need to figure out how to get a new starter. RB Isaih Pacheco Alvin Kamara (Saints) Jaylen Wright (Dolphins) Samaje Perine Notable cuts: Rashaad Penny (Eagles), Carson Steele. Penny was always injured. I'd love to keep Steele but don't have roster room. I feel very comfortable with my running backs this season. I'm strong and deep. WR Adonai Mitchell (Colts) Hollywood Brown Khalil Shakir (Bills) Malachai Corley (Jets) Justin Watson Juju Smith Schuster Notable cuts: Terrace Marshall (Panthers), Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR (Browns), Kardarius Toney, Marquez Valdez-Scantling (free agent). Marshall is yet another failed second-round WR. Major talent infusion this year with Brown, Mitchell, and Corley, and re-signing JuJu. This was a major weakness last year, and I actually like the group this year. TE Travis Kelce Grant Calcaterra (Eagles) Zach Kuntz (Jets) Notable cuts: Irv Smith, Jr., rejected trade for Peyton Hendershot Calcaterra has worked his way up to second string. I should cut Kuntz in favor of some more deserving players, but I need three TEs and I know he's a developmental case. OT Jawaan Taylor Morgan Moses (Redskins) Orlando Brown, Jr. (Bengals) Walter Rouse (Vikings) Notable cuts: Ethan Driskell, Donovan Smith. I hated cutting Driskell, but it's a numbers game. Good group here. Reliable veterans, and Rouse has become a second-string LT as a rookie. G Joe Thuney Wyatt Teller (Browns) Trey Smith I have a strong group here. C Cody Whitehair (Raiders) Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (Bills) Whitehair is a guard now, but he was a long-time center. I'll play him here since the rookie apparently underperformed and is currently third-string for the Bills. Whitehair is fine here. Specialists K - Harrison Butker LS - James Winchester P - Matt Araiza Townsend left, and Punt God arrived. We're good. Safeties Andre Cisco (Jaguars) Justin Reid Jordan Poyer (Bills) Coby Bryant (Seahawks) I've had this corps in place for a while. Poyer has been here forever. This is a strong group. CB Joey Porter, Jr. (Steelers) Amik Robertson (Lions) Caelen Carson (Cowboys) Kalen King (Packers) Notable cuts: Marcus Peters, Shaun Wade, Desmond King This is an area of major concern. Peters is gone, and King was a nickel back for a long time. Porter is strong, but I'm going to rely on the rookie Carson to play the other outside position while Amik plays nickel. My only depth is King, a practice squad rookie. The good news is that Carson played his way up to second string in Dallas as a rookie. OLB Leo Chenal Henry To'oTo'o (Texans) Drue Tranquill Zach Baun, LB (Eagles) Notable cuts: Anthony Nelson. He was a very serviceable backup, but I didn't have a roster spot for him once Baun won a starting job. I've actually got some talent here now. Chenal and To'oTo'o are good OLBs and Tranquil is strong depth. Baun appears to finally be developing and will be starting in Philadelphia. ILB Ivan Pace (Vikings) Nakobe Dean (Eagles) I thought Dean was a no-brainer pick, but he's having trouble getting onto the field. Meanwhile, Pace was a huge scouting win for me and is a good starter. DE George Karlaftis Dorance Armstrong (Commanders) Charles Omenihu Cedric Johnson (Bengals) Myles Cole (Jaguars) Notable cuts: Yetur Gross-Matos, DE (49ers), rejected trade for Cameron Thomas. My starters are strong. Omenihu will be good depth when he returns, and I have two rookie developmental guys. Not a lot of depth here in the short term. I hate to cut Gross-Matos. He was probably the 54th guy on the roster. DT Andrew Billings (Bears) Tershawn Wharton Dewayne Carter (Bills) Zacch Pickens (Bears) Adetomiwa Adebawore (Colts) Moro Ojomo (Eagles) Notable cuts: Kalia Davis. I'm giving up on him too early, but there's too much competition at this spot. I keep drafting guys, but Billings and Wharton keep holding on to the starting spots. I have four 1st or 2nd year players behind them, and I'm hoping some of them will step up. This is not a strong position group, but I'm hoping it'll grow and develop.

Overall, I'm liking my team this year.
My offense has the potential to be pretty good if I can get good play out of Russell Wilson and my wide receivers. Worst case, my big strong offensive line will pound out a strong running attack with a platoon of diverse running backs. My defense is talented and very young. We've got some big areas of vulnerability at CB and DT right now, though. This will be a growing year for the defense, but I think they've got the potential to be really strong.

Off to a rough start with my Coleman, Franklin, and Burton picks. Will be a wasted draft class for me if I go 0/3.

Somewhat of a mid-year analysis.
At QB, Mahomes has been off but he's still Mahomes. Wentz hasn't played. At RB, Aaron Jones is as solid as they come and Allegier is a good backup. We're not setting the world on fire running the ball but our 1,547 rushing yards would be in 6th place right now. My WR corps is anemic with Worthy as my top WR. Gabe Davis is sucking ass in Jax, Hollwood is in the tub, tyler Boyd is playing with a young QB and the rest of my crew hasn't really come of age. Thank goodness I have 3 competent TEs that have combined for 1,377 yds to my WR's 1,101. Overall, our 2,819 yards through the air would be among the tops in the league even after adjusting for sack losses. My offensive line is nails, honestly. Bernhard Raimann has quietly developed into one of the leagues top left tackles and has only surrendered 5 pressures and 1 sack this season. Rasheed Walker is also a very capable starter at left tackle, giving up only 2 sacks on the year but strugging with conceding pressure, and would likely be my default starter over Jawaan Taylor on the right side who has given up 5 sacks and been pretty meh. Erik McCoy continues to be a staple at center and one of the elite in the league. Trey Smith is as solid as they come at RG despite his recent struggles with pressure. Thuney is probably the best interior offensive lineman in the league, enough said. Teven Jenkins has been extremely solid at LG but has given up 3 sacks. That said, he's a backup on this team which is pretty great quality. I don't know much yet about Nourzad and Driskell though I was pleasantly surprised by Driskell in pre-season. My defensive line is absolutely stacked with 4 capable starters. This group honestly allows for a really good 3-4 front if only I had more horses at ER. The edge gets a bit hairy with Judon having a down year and my youngsters not really coming of age. I have a great LB corps led by Logan Wilson. He's just a machine out there. Tranquill and McDuffie provide really solid options at OLB. Chenal can step in and be a force against the run. If Holcomb ever gets healthy again, this group would be otherworldly. My CB group is definitely something to be desired this year. Sneed and Adebo have been banged up and Benford and Murphy are giving up safety numbers in completion percentage right now. I'm hoping these guys get it together or I might need to inject some talent. Kelee Ringo hasn't developed, and I think he might eventually move to safety. At safety, Justin Reid has been nothing short of atrocious in pass defense which really hampers an otherwise great unit. Jessie Bates is his usual all-everything self and Hooker is having a good year, especially in coverage. Anthony Johnson needs to step up though or he might be out next year. Special teams are great with Butker, Araiza, and Winchester. Here are the stats:
