Last Year's NFL Draft Promo

The thread about the order of upcoming promos got me thinking about this year's draft promo and how it'll be interesting to see how it's set up this year with Easter so close to the draft date.  

One of the things I remember from last year's promo was it's almost a mini-version of the Xmas presents and Easter eggs in that you could build different draft picks , stock pile a bunch of a pick if you thought it'd be valuable, and then watch the draft and see who you got.   That was more of the fun pre-draft.  And then the master portion of the promo continued for a while after that.

So I think it'll have to overlap with Easter if its a similar structure.

Were draft picks auctionable last year before they were revealed?  I can't remember.  But it seems like this new N/A thing EA has going on this year could have a big impact on the draft promo too.

Draft promo is always fun, partially because the actual draft is really entertaining. Engages the player with the league, one of my favourite promos each season

It was an awesome promo. As F2P I was able to keep 7 of the top 10 picks on my legacy team.

Draft was by far the most fun promo for me last year.  I think I had about 15 top 8 picks by the time of draft night.  I hope they do something similar this year, especially with a defensive oriented top heavy draft.

Yeah, I think draft is usually one of the most fun promos

Quote from four0nefive >> Picks were auctionable before the draft and then I don't think they could be auctioned afterwards.

 Yup. And then a bulk of the players crashed because of so many Qbs lol. Was fun though.

Picks were auctionable, I'm pretty sure.

I don't think draft picks were auctionable until they were revealed last year
