    I'm open to a different benchmark year. Was curious if anyone would like to do something like this again. I remember doing one here about ten or eleven years ago, but I was only about fourteen.

    I have a better grasp on the game and all-time greats now to say the least.

    I'm proposing a more recent all-time draft from 1990 until now though, so we can try to compare apples to apples rather than try to adjust how Y.A. Tittle would do against J.J. Watt.

    If there's interest, I would be glad to *try* to organize it. I'm not the best at organizing shit though, so I may need some help.

    Think it could be fun though if there's enough interest.

    This sounds interesting. How would we know who 'won'?

    I was guessing some sort of voting system, although last time we did this we couldn't get people voting.

    Doesn't appear to be enough interest though. Since I would like to do this with a restriction on when they played, I figured we'd be choosing players and their best season in that time period.

    For example, you'd be drafting Brett Favre, but also assign a season you felt he was best, like his MVP year of 1996. He wouldn't be available to any other drafters but we would have a basis for his production, combined with how well everyone thought he would work with the other drafted players.

    Maybe revisit in the offseason?

    Which should start in about four or five weeks...

    Interested, but not sure how it'd work. Drafting a whole team, or 7 rounds?

    It'd be a whole team. But U.K. Might be right. This might be more of an offseason thing as there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest unfortunately.

    Ah, but which of his many stellar seasons will you opt for?

    interesting idea..
    would you just do 1 round? Or everyone put up a draft board of top 50 prospects to consider?

    For me, the first overall would be Peyton Manning without hesitation.
    Took four mediocre coaches to the Super Bowl on two different teams, 7 different first team All-Pros as best QB in the league, and 5 MVPs...

    Type of player that would succeed anywhere he went, and would define the franchise he is on.
    There isn't a better player to build a team around.

    We would build a roster much like we did with the other All-Time Draft.
