Draft Regrets and Joys

I thought i'd put this up so people could share their personal feelings with this draft. Currently, I regret two things: 1) the rules that newbies can't trade for 30 days because I could have picked up so many good young players and 2) the fact that one of the previous owners of my franchise had traded away the 2nd round pick because I could have had 2 players from the top 10 on my board if the trade rule applied.
My biggest joy is landing the #3 player on my board with the 14th overall pick. I'm sure looking at adding more quality players as this draft seems to be leaving me players I have a higher round grade on them though my board is kind of small so I may have fun at the later rounds.

I don't rate offensive linemen very high in this sim in general. My offensive line is still a mess so I really need to hit on some of these mid round picks. I'm pleased with the quality of players I got on the defensive line but that was already one of my stronger parts of my team.

So far this draft, my only regret is that I dropped way down my board to get a player due to need and didn't think I may get him later. Ironically, the guy at the top of my board also in a position of need is still available so I may have made the right choice. They weren't fibbing in their intro that you still may find good players in rounds 5-7, though I admit my team is weak after being a 6-10 team last year.

I did get the guy in the next round. I basically got players in the later rounds I pretty much had higher round grades on. I think the worst player on my board I drafted was Dewey Alexander and I did it because of my need at CB.
