My flagging interest has taken another hit. I will probably stick around until next season, when I have some actual hope, but I can't keep enduring camps like this.

1.25 FB Gregory Vuong Vol: 10 +12/+0 Now 45/63

The AI decided I needed "running back" and kept firing useless running backs at me. Every time I dared to have a life, I got another of these dropped in my lap. I can only wish that drafting protocols would change to keep up with the version. It's not like JDB didn't have, like, two years to do this. :/

3.25 RDE Jared Jones Vol: 8 +8/-3 Now 37/63

He took a nasty hit in pass rush, and now he's not useful. Notice that low volatility is no protection anymore. I knew that, but it's still annoying.

4.25 DT Will Hoagland Vol: 44 +7/-4 Now 47/59

Probably only the incumbent was glad to see this.

5.24 RB Edward Godines Vol: 72 +5/+3 Now 37/61

Another AI pick, another useless running back. Kinda sucks that he'll end up on the street, but I just don't have a use for him.

6.24 QB Alexander Wilson +1/-11 Now 47/55

Rowland it is, then.

6.25 LG Daniel Vandeventer Vol: 52 +1/-3 Now 33/64

Serves me right for depending on guys like this.

6.29 SLB Nathan Hayes Vol: 94 +5/-11 Now 33/44

If he were any good, he wouldn't have lasted until the sixth round. Duh!

7.24 DT Mike Baldwin Vol: 12 +6/-1 Now 29/56

Only other failures are keeping this guy within shouting distance of the roster.

7.25 RB George Johnson Vol: 34 +7/-4 Now 29/46

Kinda sad that he was just as close to useful as all the others.

7.31 LT Steven Ward Vol: 100 +10/+8 Now 34/64

It's a bad sign that the star of training camp is an afterthought. He has worked his way all the way up to...lousy.

Horrible training camp in Toronto - 7th round pick the only one to boom and he's still getting cut:

1-20 WLB Alvin Jackson +2/-12 now 44/67 (98 volatility)
2-19 SS Karl Grant +8/-1 now 50/75 (20 vol)
3-20 DT Frederick Cagle +2/-2 now 41/70 (50 vol)
5-20 MLB Robert Massey +0/-11 now 37/53 (100 vol) - will be cut
6-19 WLB Marvin Olds +3/-3 now 39/59 (60 vol)
7-20 RB Larry Hudson +3/+2 now 44/67 (54 vol) - will be cut
UDFA LG Hugo Coppin +1/-1 now 40/54 (74 vol) - will be cut

SS Grant looks like he should be serviceable in a season or two, nobody else useful from this class. Really got burned by high volatility picks this draft.

I just saw Testament, Exodus, and Death Angel Saturday night so I named my rookies after some of the band members. Looks like they're too tired from touring to care about football. Glad to see Skolnick boom, I needed that. Holt and Billy will stick around while Cavestany was a shot in the dark pick. Lombardo and Hunting are on the roster bubble.

Very mixed bag training camp in Atlanta. Still need LBs/secondary next draft. (How do you attach images on these forums btw?)

Take a screenshot and upload it to something like Imgbb.com. From there click save image as and come back to the forums, click the image tab atop the box and insert image link.

All seven of our picks boomed, did not list them for fear of mob violence!

I'll run back and read replies but over in the Private League outpost of NCAA where the bgedgerly's and Michaels dwell word just got to them that drafts are horrific. Last I checked they were kicking around wanting to have trades in a non-trading league but a few shot that idea down.

Upshot: they got startled into 'holy f***' our drafts are bad.
