"hey i know, lets add draconian playbook rules, and eliminate OT so everybdoy ties 3x each season, and randomly take everybody& #39;s favorite star players off the draft board, and violate founding ideals of westcoast lagfree tecmo... yeah, that oughta boost the fun!" --dt

Round 5 -- TAD 1962 Draft -- The Oakland RAIDERS select...

PLAY: Pro T Flare (pass2)

the rule is: you gotta pick 1 of 22 listed plays and use it in your playbook every game all season... a dumb rule, sure, but why not: funtime tecmo draft city, baby---lets get that PRO T FLARE!
Round 6 -- TAD 1962 Draft -- The Oakland RAIDERS select...

OL4 Jim Parker: 31rs / 31ms / 75hp

both Shaw and Parker are eligible to lose a notch of hp in training camp rolls, even so entire OL guaranteed 63-75hp

GOAT Tecmo OL: ~UNLOCKED~ {boom!} all HOF

The greatest OL in tecmo team history (regardless of training camp rolls)... prove me wrong.

Round 9 -- TAD 1962 Draft -- The Oakland RAIDERS select...

~LB4 Emil Karas~

A Charger Hall-of-Fame LB... not sure why Emil came out of college at the ripe age of 25; probably knocking around life a little bit, and aint nothing wrong with that.

#tecmoafterdark #bigredraiders
Defense looking good... not a fan of having 1 big stud on D, I prefer to play a more amoebic style... 3-4 x 44rp defenders spread around is right up my alley... DB4 Fichtner will be my guy, with LB4 Karas protecting him vs. runs, and DB1 Whittenton playing the joker... plus: ???
a slobberknock OL... the PRO T FLARE pick... multiple chess pieces on D...

so far my draft has been all about getting what I need to support my greatest strength as a tecmo man: playcalling
Round 10 -- TAD 1962 Draft -- The Oakland RAIDERS select...

~RB Tommy Mason~

Tommy from Tulane was the #1 overall pick in the 1961 NFL draft ( #2 in AFL) for the Vikings, their first ever draft pick. Tommy, alas, was also a fumbler.

Round 11 -- TAD 1962 Draft -- The Oakland RAIDERS select...

~DB2 Mike Gaetcher~

A track star in college, Mike once clocked 9.4s in the 100yd dash. A known heavy hitter. Overcame an allergy to grass; good thing the fields didn& #39;t have much back then--just like the TAD field.
I like my DB2& #39;s with RS and HP, and Mike Gaetcher "Popcorn Right Here" fits the bill quite well. Been eyeing Mike the last few rounds... luckily, we got him. I like to MAN the DB2 in a few special situations, and I& #39;m looking forward to Mike making some BIG plays this season.
