What? He played 16 games.

Stay in your lane, Sandbox Mark Davis.

I'm looking to trade down.

Who wants to give me some draft picks?

Clay, have you left the house at all since the draft has started?

I was thinking of their other safety but you're ****ed either way

I've been moving house this whole time. ROFL

Imagine me unpacking shit and taking a break every 10 minutes to check the draft board.

I was at the store today and checked my phone and freaked out when I saw 221 was up and I had to take the trade or get ****ed. Sat there in my car and accepted it.

So how do we arrange me playing Virus in the season opener?

I am out for blood with his bullshit.

I'm looking to trade up anyone tryna trade down?

HELLO? THINK MCFLY

Well I was then changed my mind and just picked a corner bc I needed one bad.

I have the 245th pick though....what pick are you?

246 lol I'd move 283 and something tho

Check your dms

Dudes...anyone interested in Frank Gore?

I wondered what happened to you. I thought you was gonna screw me over and let time expire!.......it was 20 min. I have no patience.

I'M SORRY! I HAD TO BUY SOME DISHWASHING DETERGENT! THIS PLACE HAS NO ****ING WASHER! AND SOME MOP GLO FOR THE OLD PLACE BECAUSE I WANT MY ****ING SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK AND NOW YOU CAN EAT OFF THOSE FLOORS BABY.

League schedule is already set, brotha.

Just trying to gauge a time commitment, and I realize this can very....But about how much time does it take to game plan for each weekly match-up?

Getting ready for Week 1 takes a while because you have to set up situational depth charts and then come up with a game plan. That might be three hours or so if you're really thinking it through. But after that, I've found that any tweaks to the game plan or depth chart are minor. It's mostly around adjusting for injuries and opponents' strengths. After Week 1, it took maybe 15 minutes a week.

While not elite Wilson has better toys on my team then hes real life team. Landry/Williams/Sanders and Michel/Gore and an elite LT

Son of a bitch, I was wanting Leonard Williams

I'm surprised he lasted this long.

I don't seem to be able to add anyone to my draft board anymore.

Scratch that, I'm a moron.

Dang. Brandon Brooks was the #2 guy on my list.

I've been a little surprised at the rate some of these positions have thinned. Brandon Brooks was the only RG left on my board, and I feel like I have a pretty robust big board.

not even 1/2 way through the draft yet.... slim pickems

And we are drafting over 24 teams instead of 32. The NFL is about making the best in the face of attrition.

So how do injuries work? If a player missed 3 regular season games does this match the weeks missed exactly, say week 8, 12, 13 or is it random?

When do we bump up the draft clock?

Hey **** you!

I like only having to make 2 picks a day. Gives me time at night to set a board and draft quickly during the day.

**** you!!!!! Still plenty of decent players left.

Lew hasn't had his coffee yet...

Time to go offense DJ

You seem nice

The weeks match exactly. However, we have different rules for the playoffs since we have to have some subjectivity there. Here's what the rulebook says:

Player Availability
What it is: In the Sandbox universe, you'll know your player availability for the entire season as you enter Week 1. Since the Sandbox season follows the NFL season, you'll know which NFL players got injured and when, so you can work around it.

When you can do it: Player availability will be posted prior to Week 1 of the Sandbox season in February. Of course, you can keep an eye on player availability beforehand by watching the NFL during the Sandbox offseason.

Where it is: Under your team name on the menu bar, select "Player Availability".

Player availability each week in the Sandbox season is linked to each player's week-by-week availability in the previous season's NFL games. In general, the player's availability the previous NFL season will be identical to his availability in the current Sandbox season. If, for example, Sid Luckmann played in Weeks 1 through 4 of the NFL season and was then injured for the year, he will be available in Weeks 1 through 4 of the Sandbox season and will then be injured for the year.

There are some exceptions to the rule, and they're generally judgment calls. For example, some players may be released from teams or injured with a questionable status or on practice squads, and it's unclear whether they were truly available to play or not. Also, if a player's team doesn't make the playoffs, no one knows if he would have been available in the Super Bowl or not. So while you can use player availability stats on other sites as a general rule, recognize that the Sandbox system may differ slightly, and you have to play in the Sandbox universe. Sometimes it's a bummer when a player doesn't show up as available, but hey, that's life. Deal with it, just like NFL GMs have to deal with surprises.

The good news is that you won't be surprised from week to week. The Sandbox system will show you the player's availability for the full season once the season begins. Click on your team name in the toolbar, and then select "Player Availability".

Note that we don't have bye weeks in Sandbox football. The availability calendar is based on the Game Number, not the Week Number. So for example, if Gino Marchetti misses the 9th game of the season in the NFL, but had his bye week in Week 4, he missed Week 10 in the NFL, but he will miss Week 9 in Sandbox.

Note that "Player Availability" will not be available in the Sandbox offseason. You can watch the NFL to get a general idea of how your Sandbox roster is faring.

Injuries

What it is: Injuries occur in the game to the extent that they prevent a player from playing.

When you can do it: Injuries occur every game. It's your job to adjust your depth chart and game plan to adjust for those injuries. Season-long injury reports

Where it is: Under your team name in the menu bar, select "Player Availability" to see when players are hurt and available by week.

Injuries in Sandbox football have some particular characteristics.

First, they mirror the real world. If Sid Luckman plays in the NFL for the first three games of the season and then misses five games and then comes back for the final eight weeks, that's what he'll do in the next Sandbox season. There is no "probable" or "questionable". He either plays or he doesn't.

Second, injuries do not occur mid-game. You have a player for a full game or none of the game.

See "Player Availability" for more information on how to find your players' injury status and plan accordingly.

Ah. Fence?

Que?

Good job! :clap:

As a big-picture question, we're building up some League 2 people but it's not quite full yet. Quick show of hands: how many of you would be interested in the same $1 deal to join League 2? It would be the last of the promotional leagues before we go commercial.

(I kind of liked having two teams myself when we were beta testing. It let me try different strategies and also hope that at least one team didn't stink.)

i did two leagues last time and i would be down

Banking on the 3rd year breakout again; showed some nice development last year and was really held back by the Gabbert games. I think he's capable of going for 80/1100 next year. Big, fast high-point WR who can be a damn nice complement to JuJu.

Gotta figure with guys like Sterling Shepard and Tyrell Williams coming off the board, Davis was gonna go pretty quickly. He should've gone before a dozen or so WRs already taken at this point, IMO.

Punting on some of these positions has led to a shitload more risk on my team but there's a lot more upside in some of my picks than others have. It's just gonna take me a season or two to get it all sorted out.

That's alright - I insisted on a 7 year deal before I agreed to take the reins so job security isn't an issue...

I had two squads in the old Beta; I'd be willing to do the same. Certainly wouldn't be upset if you left it open for a bit for others who don't have a team though.

But if you need another body or two to fill out the league, I'm down.

Damn Lew - tough break.

I mean...surely you meant to click on someone else and selected Jordan Howard by mistake, right? Because I can't imagine you intentionally saddled your team with a slower version of Knile Davis...

Nice to get a WR with 10 TD this late.

LMAO

Some of you suck at this.

11 games of Kareem Hunt > Jordan Howard

**** you Virus!!!

1000 yards, 9 TDs. Backup to Gurley.

Am I missing something here?

Williams was my #2 there. And given that I don't have a TE and my #1 WR is more of a between the 20s guy, maybe Williams would've been the way to go.

But again - working the long game here and I think I can find a red-zone weapon in time. Williams just did very little outside the red zone.

this is where im at, he's been on my board for a long time but he is also the third wr in san diego. He was a great redzone target but yeah

no not mising anything keep picking like that :rolleyes:

935 yards and a YPC of 3.7.

3.7 man. And he's no sort of 3rd down back as he pretty much sucks out of the backfield. I'd have thought you'd have at least gone with someone that has plus production on a rate basis but low volume (and who can be a 3rd down back for you to spell Gurley when he's healthy).

Just seems like an odd fit.

Cool. If you want a team in League 2, we'll have instructions on adding a team shortly.

I’d do a second league as long as you can assure me Virus doesn’t have back to back picks lol

****ing pick bro!

what do you do for work that in a span of two hours you can't take a few minutes to make a draft pick

Maybe he’s a brain surgeon. Imagine if ur brain surgeon said “everybody stop, I’m on the draft clock” and he walked out for ten minutes?

But if he was a brain surgeon, he prob wouldn’t hang out on CP....

I just really want Virus to be the Al Davis of our league. The guy everyone hates

I'd be in.

Hell yes.

Damn, I was hoping Corey Davis would keep falling.

I just couldn’t justify burning a pick on what would be a #3 WR when I still need seven or eight more starters.

Wtf are u waiting on Lew??? You’ve had 2 hours to think this over

Yeah, I see a lot of talent still on the board, and I've hit that point of debating whether I need to fill obvious roster gap or stockpile talent for the long term. I'm torn.

Indeed.

It’s a really cool setup you guys have cooked up here.

I love how Virus trolls us by not making his picks for 2 hours, and then immediately posts on CP after said 2 hours....

lewdogs going to autopick

The Denver Ermines have added some veteran talent to our defensive line. We are not responsible for any of Mr. Bennett's statements and they do not reflect the views of the organization.

Damn Crows!! I was going to pick Ogletree next.

LMAO

I hadn't figured out if I was going to play a 4-3, or a 3-4. That might have determined it.

I think thats a steal to get Tunsil this late. I almost took him days ago....

He improved a TON this year and prior to his creative smoking experiments he was considered possibly the #1 talent in the draft.

Just another member of the all-upside team.

Clay has been unusually quiet today. Must be cleaning toilets....

well i officially hate my offensive line picks, my team sucks

I'm pretty happy with my LBs. Ford, Chubb, Mosley and Ogletree.

It’s a long march to 279.

I cleaned the toilet yesterday.

Talk shit to me and I’ll play hard ball making you wait.

Christ

Rain Man, Im down to play two leagues - maybe ill draft smarter the second time.

Yeah...awesome you got Ford autopicked to you before the draft.

Real ****ing fair...:rolleyes::shake:

Just got my fiber back.

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...33/121/921.gif

I'm thinking I'm going to want to move down into the 280s if my board stays the way it is right now....I'll take offers for 279

I’d kill for fiber. I have DSL:cuss:
