I can't believe TE Devin Williams fell to me in the 4th round. I had him as the #2 TE in the whole draft.

I had him #1 but I just couldn't justify spending a high pick on him after giving Finley a huge deal. I was hoping to get him in the 4th :(

How is his blocking?

McNeal and Everett were a cut above the rest. If I didn't have huge needs on defense I'd have taken one of them with the #15 if either lasted.

I'm ecstatic to have added Jamual Garcia tho. I was ready to trade up for Tyrecous after I saw Q move into the top ten but I really wanted to pair Garcia with Laurinaitis to make my LB corps borderline elite.

Matthew Mulligan came from the Rams, didn't he? Was he any good? His blocking stats look excellent.

AFC South opens up with divisional matchups. I like it! No idea what I'm doing tonight Luke, if I'm around I'll post here.

You'll always remember that moment as the mistake that cost you the Honey Hawk Badger.

Edit: My bad!

I almost went for Devin Williams, but I had other pressing needs. I also found a diamond in the rough in FA and I expect big things from him this year.

Only bad part is my stupid ass only signed him to a two year a deal. I should have locked him up for 5 while keeping the value low.

Top 3 pick in the third season of online franchise! How about spending more time on a fucking draft board or something useful like letting me see FA stats from the fucking FA screen!

fuck you EA

So what is everyone's favorite value pick they got in the draft?

Mine is the 6th round Right Guard I picked up. Only 68 PBK, but he has 86 RBK and 89 IBK. He won't be a starter right away, but I do expect him to start next year. Not bad for what normally can be a throwaway pick.

Also, I guess an A rating doesn't always mean 90 and above. One reason I kept on eye on this guy is when I scouted him I noticed an A rating for IBK.

bluemax, who is the 99 SPD UDFA WR you picked up?

BigAT said:
You sure that's where he got him? I looked right after the advance and all I saw was Ginn and Gates (97,96 SPD). Both of them were snatched up quickly.

He and another WR on my roster who has 92 speed were both UDFAs I grabbed the second free agency went live. They're better than the scrub 6th rounder I drafted.


Mrbob said:
Rinse ready to make that next level push!

Bluemax, I'm guessing you want to watch the National Title game tonight? That's fine, so do I. I have to get up extremely early tomorrow so I'll probably go to sleep close to after the game is over.

I can play Tuesday night after 9 central.

Looking at my roster, I'm almost over stacked at WR. Alshon Jeffery may be on the trading block. He is an up and coming WR in this game. Looking for possibly a pick, like a second rounder, or a raw center or guard I could improve over time.

Tomorrow night it is then.

I think 78 RBK, but his AWR is low.

It's fucking ridiculous. With him on the field it's like having a fucking bulldozer in front of me. I pumped up AWR and RBK on him and this fucker is like a heat seeking missile against on coming defenders. I really think that having him on the field was a large reason why my strong side runs were so effective. It's the reason he wanted like $6 million. I was hoping no one would sign him so I could snake him in FA after the draft but the AI grabbed him for DM.

It's stupid that a lot of you guys only see TEs as receivers. The versatility some of these guys bring to the table is crazy. Now I have Williams who is fast but a little on the dumb side. He'll be up to snuff by mid-season.

I know I'll regret it, but Jamual Garcia is basically Mack Jackson 2.0 (only with 85 spd and not 90). I couldn't pass up on him with my need at LB to pair with Laurinaitis. I had him as the #1 overall player in the whole draft (I ran out of time and points before even looking at receiver).

I thought Devin Williams was slow?

Made a bit of mess yesterday, regret taking Baker because I really liked DT Simmons, should have just taken him. Also worried I'll get sacked more looking for the homerun now that its an option.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

Dominique Waiter? That wasn't sixth round was it? I can check later. I kept notes!

Blue, I forgot the new season of Justified starts tomorrow night. Airs at 9PM Central, can't miss it! So we can play at 10PM central. Or if the show repeats again at 10PM we can play at 9. I'll double check later today.

I think so. He was almost a 7th rounder. Projected 28th pick of the 6th round.

He is. Fits Wellie's running scheme perfectly. But chicks dig the sexy passing game.

Was McNeal a spreadsheet guy? Because I had a massive boner when I scouted him and saw he was a projected 4th rounder.

I pretty much spent all my scouting points on linemen so once they were gone I was totally lost. Then the CPU drafted me two of the worst fucking scrubs I have ever seen in my life.

The LT I got is fucking great though. Going to be easy to turn him into an awesome player. He'll play all year at RT this year I think since Bulaga is in a contract year. Pumped!

Do you have McNeal or any other extra offensive linemen on the block or up for trade? I can't look at rosters but it sounds like you might

I didn't get him, the Titans got him. I got a great tackle though! I have three LT's that are really good in PBK. All but the rookie are available. I just cut one yesterday so I can't remember who I kept.

Yeah if anyone has a high priced player they might want to unload for a pick or player, let me know. I've got a bit of extra salary cap so I can take on an unwanted contract

They are totally serviceable but I have three now and I still have a great RT. I kind of went overboard in trying to shore up the tackle positions but it worked well, I barely got sacked at all last year!

22 AWR, lol. It's not even worth investing points into at that point. It causes him to be rated 54 OVR despite having pretty solid blocking numbers.

Yeah, that was my TE from last draft, 22 awr but he can be a great blocker. I pumped AWR early in the season, around the mid to high 30s now. Worthless.

Have you noticed he is running the wrong way and tackling your guy or does he seem useful despite his downs syndrome?
