Breakdown
DCX:
QB: 2
WR: 2
TE: 1
HB: 2
G: 2 (DCX doesn't differentiate between LG/RG)
T: 3 (DCX doesn't differentiate between LT/RT)
C: 2
DE: 2
DT: 2
LB: 4 (DCX doesn't differentiate them between OLB and MLB)
CB: 2

Bluemax:
QB: 2
WR: 2
TE: 1
HB: 1
G: 3 (2RG, 1LG)

C: 1
DE: 2
DT: 1
LB: 5 (3 MLB, 1ROLB, 1LOLB)
CB: 1
FS: 1
SS: 2

I think if I redid my mock the breakdown wouldn't change much, but that #1 overall CB would definitely go anywhere from 4-10 spots higher.

I'm banking on Striker going for a veteran QB instead of grabbing one through the draft.

Umm. I had like 3-4 DTs going in the draft and you have me selecting none :( I was joking about Live taking a C, he really has to take a QB.

DCX
 
When do player progressions happen. As soon as the superbowl happens? With such a young team I really need to know what happens with my guys to know who to draft/bid on
 
just a warning, it'll say progression was made right after the super bowl, but when the new season starts, a new progression shows up (and it's usually lower)
 
this a leaguemanager issue or in game?

If leaguemanager is going to get the OVR wrong, won't that screw us with contract values/free agency?

I like my pick in Blumax's mock draft, except he is missing my second pick. No way I go C when my current starter has A potential.

League Manager is being Poo so I can't see the Giants roster to decide on their pick.

If I had to guess I'd have you taking one of the B Pot 77 OVR DEs OR the 76 OVR B Pot MLB.

The Chicago Bears organization told me they do not comment on rumors. Their number one goal is to improve the team each year through the best means necessary.
 
yeah that freeman play was raw garbage but dm should've saved some of the BS catches that his guys were making too. i could live with the freeballin' run from time to time but some of those catches in traffic were just fucking bogus.

the biggest mistake i made was using the niners playbook, which i hadn't been using most of the season but used it against CB and used it here. it's fine to a degree but it just doesn't have the nice route variation that the texans playbook has :(
 
It is the most used playbook because of the formations and routes make it nearly impossible to play D at times.

Doesn't need to be banned, but a lot of people use it. Would be nice to see some originality on offense. :P

what formations/routes are unguardable?

Unguardable is probably not the right word, but the way multiple routes flank out it seems like there is counter with about almost any defense. I haven't really seen an offensive playbook nearly as diverse in its route running, but I could be wrong! I finished 6-10 after all.
 
No doubt the options and diversity on that playbook are staggering compared to the others. You really gotta work on it though to be especially effective. when i used it for a few weeks, i would get stuck on 3rd downs or important situations because there were almost too many options.

The Eagles playbook is extremely simple but i know it really well because its mostly been the same for a few years. In my case, simpler was better.

We're playing at 10:30 EST. If he wins, he won't play back to back, and I don't think I will either should I win.
I don't blame you. I'm drained after a regular season game, playoffs are much worse!
