So did people need pictures to know Greg Hardy is a piece of garbage? The info has been out there for a long time.

Luke, use your power of persuasion to get me an Overwatch beta invite.

I need one too

CURRENT SCHEDULE:

Draft: Friday @ 7 pm pst
Free agency/pre-season start: Saturday @ 11:30 am pst
Regular season starts: Saturday @ 12 pm pst

the reason for the delay between the end of the draft and start of pre-season is to give people a chance to do positions switches.

just incase you didn't see!

The EJ Manuel era will continue for another year

The xbone league just drafted today

A qb drafted has 94 speed. Hope you guys waited for the draft class patch!

 

[LukeSmith]

No we never rush into anything and fuck up the quality of the league for doing it, Bread

 

[CB3]

Pretty sure all the patches have applied to current leagues.

There's a qb in our draft class that ran a 5.37 40. That's worse than most o-linemen. So, what do you think?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

No we never rush into anything and fuck up the quality of the league for doing it, Bread

except we did wait. the patch went out september 9th, and we started the league september 11th. apology accepted!

 

[CrimsonCommie]

The fastest QB in our draft pool ran a 4.71

I don't think we waited for the draft patch though, did we? I thought that was separate.

 

[Wellington]

stay the fuck away from QBs until my pick jerkoffs.

Eli retiring kinda forces my hand. There are some good prospects at least but one guy I prize above all

Looks like I'll be home in time.

Cowboy confirmed for super bowl!

even if you finally listened to eznark and did the right thing this year, the sins of a thousand years prior are a part of that commissioner's cross you carry

Nice smokescreen

 

[JABEE]

Good luck tonight! Is it possible to draft through EA's website?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[JABEE]

Ok good, the fastest guy in our league ran a 4.35 I believe.

 

[McNei1y]

yay i picked a qb

 

[Greg]

I hope I got something good

 

[JABEE]

Why was my pick made automatically?

I didn't even get a chance to make my pick!

 

[LJ11]

I think I've drafted a LB in the first 3 of the last 4 drafts.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

My two highest guys went way before my pick and I reached in the first :/

 

[LJ11]

My two highest guys went way before my pick and I reached in the first :/

Yeah, I had a couple of guys go before I picked so I just went with LOLB Middlebrooks, he honestly sucks from a coverage and pass rush perspective, but he is an 87 overall with #1 True Talent, whatever the fuck that is. I want to test if vertical and broad jump are linked to a OL strength, but I'm not sure if I should do it with the next pick, will see.

Edit: Curious to see what Smokey's QB is like, had my eye on him.

 

[Zoly]

doesn't matter, I'm gonna fuck you all, user MLB will save me!

#1 true talent just means he is the highest OVR guy in the draft

 

[Zoly]

u know who I am!!!

cmon, take a guess!

 

[CB3]

id rather not.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

you guys start the draft yet?

 

[Smokey]

you guys start the draft yet?

nope

 

[Sokantish]

yes

 

[LJ11]

#1 true talent just means he is the highest OVR guy in the draft

For real, this dude is ok. I'll make him a stud, but from a stats perspective, garbo. I knew this draft wasn't very good.

POW - 84
TAK -84
PUR - 90
PRC - 57 (Easy to boost but the XP isn't as plentiful, wouldn't be an issue in years past)
Zone - 66
Man -64
BSH - 76
PWM - 69
FMV - 63
AWR 72

Agility is 87, Speed & Acc 87 & 88 respectively. Tackling machine, but not much else for a OLB. Some of the CBs looked ridiculous on paper.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

uhhg, don't think I'll be able to install the game in time.

#1 true talent means he's the best player in the draft in terms of Overall rating.

He probably just has really high AWR.

 

[LJ11]

Phee, let me know how that WR is, Motes. Had him real high. Every season I say I'm taking a WR, and they get snatched up.

 

[Mrbob]

Overwatch is now available for pre order on battle.net but no beta invite with pre order. Blizzard plz. No beta no pre order.

 

[LJ11]

PS4 keeps locking up when I scroll through Madden menus, at least I made 4 picks.

 

[Sokantish]

Yeah, I was totally going to pre-purchase because I thought they'd for sure include a beta. What a rip

do u even game

 

[LJ11]

It feels like I'm being a pest, but something crazy just happened. System locked up, restart, get back in time to draft, do so, check my drafted players, and the ratings are way lower than they were before the lock up.

Edit: All players have a True Talent of #1 and I drafted them #1, LOL.

[Greg]

He was my #1 guy and I was trying to trade back into the first round to get him. Took my C because it was a real weakness, I had the worst scoring O in the league.

 

[ph33nix]

Phee, let me know how that WR is, Motes. Had him real high. Every season I say I'm taking a WR, and they get snatched up.

97 Speed
96 Agility
96 Acceleration
94 Jumping
51 Strength

87 Catching
85 SPC
78 CIT
77 Release
71 RTE

94 Juke Move
88 Spin Move
83 Elusiveness
62 Stiff Arm



The other guy I was torn about taking was the guy Pete took, K. Stills---he had good strength and jumped the highest, was 6'4 and fast. Had good catch and release stats, but I was turned off by his cone and shuttle drill results, so I went with my gut and I took Motes. I wasn't totally thrilled but I felt like he was the best receiver so I had to. I was probably wrong
