Im ok with it. 2 nay 1 yay. Bigat, wellie, rors, dm, cb?
Just a thought I had, but until we've been through a draft and a year of progression or whatever does anyone actually feel comfortable with predicting the quality of player they're going to get with a pick after the second round?
How many low round draft picks last year ever developed? How many were good situational players based on one or two broken ratings?
Just a thought.

Once we found out players like Bjeorn were out there. There were LB's that were in the 50's, that had some great stats. Think I had one that had 90 speed, acc, tackling, and a couple others. Just had crap in the coverage and awareness. Solution: Manually Control that player.
At first, those players would slip through, then they started to be picked up earlier and earlier when people researched. Odds are, there will be more of these players.
But I had a WR that went from, I think high 60's, to near 80 in 2 years of progression. I want to say Crusoe.
Last year, I got starters in the second round and I picked really late. This year looks to be even better. I mean you have 89 guys in the first round... that's insane. And, since you have so many 80 round guys (40 total), there's bound to be some good stuff in the second round. Just looking at that list that BigAT posted, the draft seems to be more defensive and less speed based than our shitty drafts last year where we had 99 speed leftovers from Head Coach. We still have overrated rookies (way way way overrated), but maybe they'll be more balanced with the rest of the league roster. I think those fifth round guys that were worth picking up last year because of 90+ speed will be worth less this year.bluemax said:
btw- guys rated 85+ from the last draft: 0 :lol

I had starters from the second round as well, that's why I said rounds later than the second. Last year there was a huge drop off in talent about midway through the third. And 7th rounders were generally useless except as things like KRs with absurd speed (which I had) but they basically never improved.
I realize the drafts are deeper but I still think that the value of picks can't be properly evaluated at this point.
Oh, after the second. Well, I wouldn't think anything after the second would be more than role players. Mid third round was basically the cutoff for starting talent last year. I think the value picks will be worth even less this year since high speed without high ACC is useless now and speed by itself isn't worth much at most positions anymore.bluemax said:
Does anybody else get the feeling that awareness matters more this year? :\
I know it mattered. I'm saying it seems to matter more now. Last year, you could get by with low awareness guys. There were plenty of low awareness starters, but this year, the move from one position to another seems to affect the play a lot more than last.LiveWire said:It always mattered when you weren't controlling a player. WRs with low awareness don't turn around when the ball is headed their way. Case in point, Devin Thomas/Malcolm Kelly/Marko Mitchell. :lol

The eagles traded their franchise QB in his PRIME to a division rival.
It's not a bs trade. Cushing will likely be a 90 because of progression and he is young. I'm taking on a 35 yr old lb and a 30 yr old rb and giving up a pick. This is fair HNIC FMT said he's ok with it and your vote can't count because I'm in your divison..COI.
DCX said:
woah woah woah, dont bring me into this! I'm just swapping players!
I'll get on to accepting the trade in a few.
Update:
Knighton and Alualu are on the block. Only one of them.
Alualu (77): Looking for a decent CB/SS
Knighton (83): Looking for a good MLB/OLB
This is filtering. I am interested in only receiving those for one of them. If people are interested, let me know.

I agree but a dominant CB is much more important in Madden than a dominant SLukeSmith said:
I can see that DCX seems like he feels Turner's a waste on his team. Maybe not Slaton waste, but lower trade value than is thought of him. I'd say a better trade would be a 2nd instead of a 3rd.
But then I traded for Slaton. And Traded Meriweather.

That's not true at all. Ask Brandon Jacobs.DCX said:
DCX, hard as it may be to believe, everyone that has voted no is just trying to help keep you from fucking yourself over.
So what are the guidelines for the trade approvals? Are you guys just trying to keep people from fucking themselves over, are you trying to keep the league balanced, or are you trying to see what is "fair value"? Or all of the above?
[edit] Maybe that sounds loaded or sarcastic or something... not taking a jab, just asking.

Exactly. The only valid argument regarding trading in Madden GAF should be: "keep it as realistic to the NFL as possible."
Then you see what the real NFL does (Kolb/Vick, Vincent Jackson, etc etc etc.). :lol
Anyway, part of the fun of a league like this is to say "what if?" to some degree, to allow us all to take the reins of our favorite real-life franchises and do what we think is best, even if it turns out to fail spectacularly. That's why I support no trade restrictions (with one caveat, no more than three players per transaction).

I'm not really arguing one way or the other with my question. I actually don't want a "what if" league or I would have opted for a fantasy draft.LiveWire said:
Nnamdi Asomugha first overall pick!
