Holy mackerel, Lensley Passee (18yr - DL) is no.1 on my board. He's a monster!


Agree


This opinion may change after a season in Elite. Yes this statement is a hint as to why he isn't in my top 10. Cheezy with your philosophy, for you he should be up there.


Not sure what you mean. Of course we can argue if he is Nr. 1 or somebody else but no way he should slip out of Top 10 based on overall value. Best Physicals possible, age is perfect, 4* EXP, OK TW, OK INT (also good enough to let him play LB or CB) + Trait...
If you refer to 2,5 Talent then it's no prob for me - it means he will cap @ 42,5 and I'm really fine with that.


The talent was only thing that I can see too. Now if Thomasten is saying 42.5 skills won't cut it in elite then fair enough, I have no experience there.

You're right oakbark - maybe thomastem is right with Cap @ 42,5 - I don't know either. But I asume this guy would help everybody to reach EL that's why I still think it is a top 10 Prospect

Or every other position
I would probably stick with DE as I highly value this position and skills are already trained that way...

The tackles with 49 FW and 49 BL with 48 ST will eat up his 50 St 42.5 VI and 42.5FW (agility could be a wildcard here, I grant that.) Doing a simple sim math matchup which I believe resembles what the engine does:

OT 49+49+48=146

DE 42.5+42.5+50=135

OT gets a +9 over DE in head to head.

Until you try to beat the top teams the physicals are where it's at. Elite teams that have their player skills at the 4.5 - 5 skill level can give up 3-4 points in physicals and still dominate.

If you are happy competing for the 1.1 title, and in no way am I saying there is anything wrong with that, then this guy is the number 1 pick. However if you want to beat some of the entrenched snobs then he is not.

You are drafting him for 12+ seasons. Nothing wrong with an Elite championship as a goal over the next 12 seasons either.

Got your point!

Actually at this point with a bit too much old vets with my team i'm drafting for the future. It's unlikely any draftee will play significant time next 1-2 seasons....

Top 3 are based on my objective rankings. Then 4-9 are players ranked on positional need. Then the rest of my objective rankings. I am feeling more confident than ever I will get a player in the first round I'll be very happy with

I always rank based on physicals.
