    I may go with the Titans but i'd also like an elite QB so if one is there (flacco is not elite!) then i may take a punt

    If the Colts are still there when i get to pick i might take them just because im used to playing with them, after that im not sure, Eagles i love but their defence is muck, and the Texans i like to.

    Played my first offline franchise game Washington vs eagles got stomped 30-0:D I'm in CPU hell, started up my ol interceptions craic, I would have tried letting plays develop but the o-line is terrible. Sideline catches then step out of bounds I've noticed don't always stop the clock and replays at bad times cause havoc when trying to call time-outs. :mad:

    On the plus side I played a friendly with greenbay vs titans played well but lost but Rodgers injured cj2k.

    I didn't like Washington at all when I used them. Unfortunately the teams I have used and really liked are going to be gone by 18, Broncos and Patriots.

    Like Seahawks, ravens, packers, also falcons are surprisingly good to play with, Ryan is a decent QB

    Falcons are a sleeper team, I think the ravens will be good but wont make it past mike and if they do, someone will pick them pretty sharpish

    I've already reserved them, you're going to have to pick someone else.

    Thinking that one or two big teams will fall further than people expect to go with a few WTF picks as well!

    Well, well, well, tried out the Vikings there in a friendly against the texans, my oh my- Peterson is practically unstoppable 16 carries for 324 yards! So much fun!

    I have tried out a few teams but still no one has really clicked for me yet. Dolphins or Chiefs have probably come closest out of the teams that should fall to around my position in the draft.

    The Jaguars have a lot of potential. A definite rebuilding project but could be very good in year 2 with some clever free agency work, sensible drafting and intelligent xp expenditure.

    At least that's what I'll tell myself.

    Be an interesting choice at 17,a bit too high for me

    I welcome controversy.

    That said, I won't jump into bed with Shaka Khan until I see what my options are.

    To be honest I think the depth of teams is really strong this year. There are a few teams that night have been considered weak last year but could be fun to use this time around. The read option is going to be huge. Instant offence. I can see one or two players stockpiling mobile QBs. With injuries as they are they may need to!

    I need a power running team that loves the occasional long bomb
    I don't run outside and I don't throw medium passes.

    On D it's blitz, blitz, blitz and man press coverage outside

    But that's the Browns! Is there anyone else?

    Tried a couple of games with the Seahawks and they're not for me, Wilson keeps giving up the pigskin and broke his finger the last game. Got to try some different teams tomorrow evening before I have to draft.:cool:
