I thought that this season's draft had a lot of good talent. I was able to fill my roster with 3 instant starters.

You certainly had a good one.

I had Aceski at 17, which was too low. Nice player.
I had Achille at 30, and moved him up before the 2nd round but got a higher-ranked (on my board) player anyway.
I had Gomez at 66 because I didn't have RB as a need, but still moved him up to 12th for round 3 (and got my 4th overall).

I liked your 2nd and 3rd round picks better than your first. You may well be the better judge.

Lot of good talent in the draft, but not that much at OL given the numbers there. Either that or we have better drafters. Seen a few drafts in the Discussion forum where 50 STR players were available at the end of the second round.

I really need some defensive linemen lol. I couldn't afford to miss out. I like my 2nd and 3rd rounders too They enhanced positions that I've emphasised building since before last season.

The best place to get OLs is the youth academy. Right now your team is pretty young still, so you are probably still getting mediocre players out of the academy. Soon you will start getting REALLY good guys out of the academy. It's pretty easy to get 2-3 guys a season with 49-50 Strength and 48-50 Teamwork. If their speed rating is low (or you just need an OL more than anything else) you have a great OL. Unless a guy has good defensive traits, don't bother raising defensive players in the academy unless you have a good player you can't place elsewhere or just a REALLY good prospect. Defensive players are very easy to get out of the draft.

EDIT: Oh you needed DLs... Looks like you pulled one in the first round. There are also a lot of decent DL options on the transfer market if you keep your eyes pealed. More so than OLs.

I built a decent OL prospect in the YA last season. He's currently starting at OG. I'm pretty happy with the results. I hope to build a few more like him in the near future

I've found a few DL players on the TM, but I'm always looking for more. Now that I know what to look for, my roster is developing at a rate I'm comfortable with.

Had a look at the next draft, seems better overall quality (even if I had a good draft this time).

Been 2 weeks since anyone posted anything !!!

How we all doing ?

Anyone want to predict a winner ?

I'll go for 2.1 - I think Badgers v Wildcats looks like a possible championship matchup

Yeah pretty quiet now.

Had a suprise victory last game vs PO team, so i'm happy with my 5-0. but now i'll have a couple of games with even stronger PO teams, so we'll see how my team fares.

My draftpick have starterd strong, really happy

In adm 2,2 i'm pretty shure thar Electric will win it all. In NC, he's the best. In AC Lions have started strong and will be having a fight with lakers for the bowlspot
