Think he'll be a solid TE for me


That dude seems too good to waste as a TE. I'd make him a WR personally


Do WR block on running plays? Seems a shame to waste his blocking skills.


They do not. But unless you're specifically building your playbook to utilize TEs, they don't get much action in the passing game. A waste of such a great player imo. Plus, TEs don't appear to be a position that benefits from high physical stats.

I got a 50-50 guy, 50 STR and 50 SPD (and track star!). At pick #13. So obviously very happy. But a little bit confused where to play him. Any thoughts?

Theo Vernon, 23yo, 3,5 * EXP
Came into the league as LB: 31 TACK, 31 POS, 25 VIS, 10 A-TOG-.
INT 40,8, TW 24,2.

Obviously with his STR-SPD you would love him at MLB, but i'm afraid his INT is too low. So currently I'm leaning to CB...

OLB he will be a sack machine and still be able to make interceptions

Always nice when you're a NY Giants fan of a certain age, and you pick up a back called Joe Morris.

Okay, he's a FB and he had a different name when he was picked, but when the random name generator throws up something like that you gotta think karma!

I wouldn't waste any 50/50 guys at DE. My "best" DE (50 STR, 49.2 SPD, 44 Tackling, 43 Footwork, 40.6 Vision, 38.9 Agility, 39.7 Intelligence, 43.5 Teamwork, 4.5 Experience), doesn't do any better than guys with half his speed. I think the tweaks Pete made have made speed much less important for DE (which is probably reasonable).

Would be more interesting if a slow DE could be re-engaged by a fast OT

My picks:
rnd 1 / pick 30 - double trait FB (#5 rank)
19yo 46.7(y)/42.7(r) crap (28.4) tw ... blocking back + track star
- may be FB of the future, may be xfer market, may get my O running more shot

2/62 double trait FB #2 (#18 rank)
21yo 40.4(nc)/43.3(r) crap exp ... slippery + pass blocker
- another ... ignore a trait and build an OT? ... or put a Gronk on the xfer market ... or make a TE playbook?

3/94
19yo ... 2.5xp
guess all the late rounders can't all be my Tom -G.O.A.T-

Except that stickyfingers plays more like ickyfingers ...
serious RB/FB potential though

Well agility makes more sense there. You're not using speed when you're moving laterally, or for your first few steps in any directly really. First few steps is acceleration, which is better captured by agility than speed. Lateral movement is just plain agility.

One of the reasons that it makes zero sense that speed is such a big factor in QB sacks, in this game. A general misconception of what speed is.
