An extensive look at the season 2 draft - Gwdaja - 07-31-2017

And the other half was against the top 2 teams in the league. The point is he called me a disappointment and it's clearly not the case, he didn't even have me listed as a starter, so just seems like he didn't look into it much.

I based it on the overall, and based on that you were RB2. Going through every position on every depth chart would be days of work. I went by overall rating. Simple enough but still extensive.

For example, Rich Gucci had a higher overall rating than me at the time of the draft, but you'd never draft an inactive at a position of low need, in the first three rounds.
Absolutely a valid point, but at this stage, there is a direct correlation between activity and overall. More activity = more TPE = higher overall (generally speaking). Plus the overall ratings are from the most current update, not at the time of the draft.

The point was to do it based on overall. I am listed as the #2 LB on the team.

I will also say that overall clearly isn't all that matters, but I had to base my opinions around the numbers I was presenting, so that's why I said that. Similarly, I don't really think Brokk Lee is the worst pick, but if you see the overall, it is easy to make that argument.
Absolutely, I understand where you're coming from, just wanted to point out another way to look at the info. Well done on the article, by the way. You clearly put a lot of work into it.

Right, but the overall rating simply isn't a good indicator of how good the player is. For example, in the overall rating, blocking is as important for WRs as it is for RBs and TEs.

I'm mostly arguing that I'm not a disappointment and trying to argue your contrarian comment haha. But also, where it said "1 starting Running Back", it was just inaccurate, so I'm obviously gonna try and get the facts straight for my player, whether it's the point of the article or not.

I get it, and while it's not perfect, it's really the only way we have to compare players until the actual season starts.

I believe your girlfriend/boyfriend would beg to differ...
sorry, couldn't help myself.

Yeah, and it doesn't take archetype into consideration either. As a coverage LB, str and tkl are still my most important stats for overall, despite them being far less important in coverage.
And @Gwdaja, fair enough. With the touches you are getting (about 30 a game) you'll likely be one of the leading rushers. You and Tweed are the two RBs I hate going against because of that speed. I can't match it at all.
