I had this idea as a fun way to pass more time before the NFL camps get under way.

Basically, same draft order as finish. But instead of picking COLLEGE talent, you pick any RETIRED (living or dead) player to ever have donned a uniform. The "catch" is that your team has its current roster.

So for example, Kansas City probably wishes Ryan dropped to them. Not to worry Kansas City, you can pick Dan Marino! Your player choice need NOT have played on the pro team he's drafted to (as per my example above).

Please post in the thread what team you'll control if you are interested.

chrisih8u

Sounds like fun. I'm in. (Patriots)

Spicollidriver1

I'm in for this I would take the Vikings but if BrentMN wants the vikes I would like to take the Titans

das Monkey

I'll take the Falcons.

das

rehmus

how does one win this? im intrigued, but i dont quite understand what happens after the draft, if anything.

chrisih8u

Mel Kiper has agreed to grade all of us.

DVD Josh

Well, using the latest scientific developments, our message board draft will determine what players will undergo extensive genetic reversing to make them virtual equivalents of their younger selfs, and they will re-enter training camps for their respective teams and we'll get to see how these players perform in today's NFL.

rehmus

rehmus

alright im in.

starman9000

Since the Vikes are taken, I can fill in for whichever, if any, team is left after fans grab their own.

wildcatlh

I'll take the Eagles

fujishig

cool... so are we taking their injury history into account? So a guy like Bo Jackson, would he still be injured early in his career?

I really don't see anyone drafting for position here... the whole first round is going to be running backs, QBs, and wide receivers, and maybe some HOF defensive players I'd think.

missingtoof

Sounds interesting. I'm in -- Tampa Bay Bucs.

FantasticVSDoom

Well since the Bucs are gone, Ill take the Dolphins...

DVD Josh

A smart GM would definitely make that call. But remember, you still have your roster. If you pick Joe Montana and you have Peyton Manning, what sense will that make, you won't be improving your team.

fujishig

True, I guess my point is that the Colts GM would most likely still take a top-of-the-line back. I guess there could be some surprises, where someone takes a dominant offensive lineman or something, but probably not in the first few rounds.

zekeburger1979

I'll take the Lions. Surely, I can do a better job than Matt Millen!

davidlynchfan

In for Jets.

sounds cool. maybe we can do 22 rounds to fill the entire roster on both sides!

Spicollidriver1

Starman you take the Vikes Ill take the Titans I knew there were a few folks here that like the vikes, so you take the vikes Ill take tennessee I like the titans too

DVD Josh

List is updated through SD1.

kenbuzz

I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll take the Bengals.


Can I go ahead and take Ki-Jana Carter or David Klingler now, or do I have to wait?

cdollaz

I'll take the Texans. How many rounds?

fujishig

There's a whole thread with possible Bengals picks for you in this very forum... with pictures!

FantasticVSDoom

I have it easy... I can pick anyone and have it make total sense because the Dolphins have no one except for Ronnie Brown

DVD Josh

I'd like to do three or so.
