Autodrafting Impossible Signability Guys

gosensgo101 · 04-03-2016, 09:04 PM

I drafted the first 5 rounds myself and then autodrafted the rest. My AI drafted some impossible signability guys, as early as the 6th round. Is this desired behaviour? I can understand some pie in the sky guys in later rounds, but the 6th round seems a little early to be ignoring signability to me.

Edit: I do have a lot of budget room, so maybe the strategy makes some sense here? I usually just ignore the guys marked impossible altogether, using the strict definition of the word.

I used to object to this, but found a few actually caught my attention and I did, like I think you're suggesting, put a fairly attractive offer out there and managed to sign a couple along the way.

Suggestion, if you do, shortlist them as Impossibles, because once they enter the system you don't have a record any longer that they had that designation.
