Draft Targets

helimachoptor

So has anyone had a chance to look at where they will target in the draft?

For the first time in a while i have all my picks (i think)

I am targeting

WR After giving away Britt and Washington i'm looking for a good solid WR

O line (probably C+G) (following the real Titans )

OLB Witherspoon aint getting any younger but the new OLB will get some snaps

DE
I have 2 good DE, 1 Ok one, so will look to draft a situational DE that i can swop in.

K The leg of Bironas is now what is was... needs more powaaaah


The above if completely dependent on what happens in FA, i'll probably have about $27 million to spend

I think you do not, What was the deal for Suh and Leshore a first (2014) and a third and fourth(2013) or something?

Yep you are correct, my first to you adrian

Think I have a third round pick from the Stafford trade too, as long as Romo doesn't retire I should be looking good heading into Free agency with cap space and the draft with plenty of picks.

The Lions will probably continue to struggle though, their main problem being the one with the controller .

I'd like a quality running back though who doesn't get injured every second play.

I haven't done any scouting yet, an probably won't until after the superbowl. Off the top of my head, I'll probably have to pick up a replacement for Ed Reed. I'll probably draft some receivers, I have loads on my roster but they are always getting injured!

Don't really have any glaring needs. Not losing anyone important to FA, and have just used XP give 5 of my starting defenders the "big hitter" trait, so will probably just draft the best players I believe to be available to come in and compete. Always room for a WR or TE.

Yeah, I can't see myself having too many specific targets for the draft. I will do the same as I have done before. Go through my team, see where I need the biggest improvement and try and fill that spot.

Let me know how that big hitter trait goes.

I'm hoping to see a lot more fumbles. I was looking at the stats and think I have one of the lowest fumble recovery rates in the league. And always hate when I'm playing the likes of Ravens/49ers/Steelers in Madden and you know half the ****ers have big hitter and you have to brace for impact every carry. It's time to shake some mother****ers up in Jacksonville.

helimachoptor

Yeah im the same Mikey, the Titans do not force a whole lot of fumbles or recover sadly!

Should we really be sharing targets? I've two that I've done full scouting on and want but wouldn't even like to share the positions right now as I got lucky on scouting a particular rating I was after in each position and these were the best of the mid rounders.... Raji would go for a mid 1st round pick if someone wants him. His fat a$$ is giving my bench a workout at the moment.

helimachoptor

Nelbert... you need to have a lot of targets.. there are 31 players that may also be looking at the guy you are looking at..

adrian522

I'd completely ignore the projected round thing. Scout the attributes that you rate most for that position and identify targets from there.

If he isnt good enough to make your team, why would someone give up a first round pick for him? ;-)

helimachoptor

Give you a second for Raji!

Pudsy33

I'd possibly part with a first....

Does the game let you line him up as a back like the Packers sometimes do?

adrian522

Not unless it's one of the formations in the play book. The 49ers have a formation called niners heavy that uses D line men as FB. Crazy run heavy formation.

Yep tis true, big soppy swaggers into the offence on occasion.

Overall 87 and quality player. I just went with youth.

A second.... its all your getting for him!!!

madalig12

Im saving all my scout points till after FA and keeping an eye out on bertys comments in the hope he drops some hints as to who is brilliant.

adrian522

The first part of your plan is brilliant, not sure about waiting for advice from Berty, I've been in drafts with him before, not sure there is method, but there is certainly madness!!

One word.. SPREADSHEETS!

PerrinV2

Have a list of about 6 players picked out but I imagine the cpu will draft all my targets again

giffney1991

I have a target as well but if I make the playoffs, odds of me getting him r SLIM

Looks like I will have a very early first.... Its yours

Looking like the Browns will be top 5 pick and we're desperate for a top WR

Could do with a RG and a TE too. My 2nd string TE sees a lot of snaps and he's shocking for the drops!
The Jags have Todd Heap as 2nd string, I'd love a pickup like that

Last season 4 out of the the top 5 teams for forced fumbles were in the AFC North.

AFC South wouldn't know much about hard hitting football!

Nobody wanted Todd Heap in Free Agency, I bid on him straight away and got him on the cheap, I think it was probably because of his underwhelming 78 OVR but his catching stats are fantastic. He's one of my favourite players on offence.

There are a number of very good receiving TE's that can play that backup slot very well and fly under the radar due to low-ish OVRs, I've got Joel Dreesen and Bo Scaife in my 2 other franchises as well and paid pittance for them.

I'm going to have to wait and see who else rejects their contract offers before looking at my needs
