NFBC Message Boards

FACT - The Mock Draft has been for all practical and relevent purposes been replaced by the NFBC Slow Draft. Since we have the best fantasy baseball players in the world already drafting in this format with skin in the game for 50 rounds, we should have a Moving ADP Report for it if possible. This will help guys plan strategy etc... and be a lot of fun to see players move up / down as we approch the Live Events.
I used to count on the ADP report from another site a bit, but that doesn't seem like a wise idea anymore.
Thoughts?
Let me help you get started...
1. Matt Kemp OF LAD

from the first six rounds of the ten drafts greg listed in another post; ( ignore the earliest pick and the latest pick in order to remove outliers ) rd one looks like this; Kemp, Pujols, Cabrera, Tulowitzki, Ellsbury, Gonzales A, Cano, Bautista, Votto, Gonzales C, Fielder, Upton, Longoria, Pedroia, Granderson.

the next five rounds are pretty interesting as well

You know what's really interesting...

The fact that the more we report and observe the ADPs the more it changes them.

There's a principle called the Observation Effect that states that you change something just by viewing it.
Not exactly the same here, but similar idea. If guys didn't see so-and-so being drafted round 6, they would accelerate it to round 5 to get him...and then 5 goes to 4, etc.

Now I'm not suggesting that we ban the use of them....I use them as much as the next guy...but I'd be really curious to run through a draft season without revealing any of the trends and see how they hold up.

I would be cool to have 2 groups. One that has access to the ADPs and one that doesn't and see how it shakes out.

Meh.....where's Montero going off at?

I just find the ADP interesting to watch players move and it does help strategize a bit. Your right, it does change the way some players are drafted earlier, but when one goes up, one goes down!
I just know that there have been like 15 or so full 50 Round Drafts already with a lot of thought put into those picks. The other site does a good job, but after the first few rounds of those mock drafts, a lot of the players leave and some of those drafts are based on 12 Team Leagues and that I believe changes it too.
I just think this info is unique to this group and should be mined!!!!

Greg just posted a new thread with the info on this.... Thread over!
THANKS GREG!!!!!!!!
