LB can normally be used elsewhere.

Don't think anyone wants a P ... just have to hope that the bots take them which is a reasonable chance.

Think they over-kill on QBs - in real life they are a valued commodity whereas here they are possibly the least valuable after K and P just because there's so many. Probably should keep the number of QBs very low in the draft - maybe 1 or 2 but make sure they are good ones and highly demanded.



Actually, a lot of draft punters have ok physicals and often high vision and positioning, which makes them easy to convert into D-players.


Yeah but a Linebacker with high Int, physicals, tackling, vision and pos would be a lot easier to convert.

You can convert anyone but a P would be absolutely last choice along with a K.

Special team players tend to be at the bottom of my boards aswell, but there is always a few players from positions of need with such poor numbers they end up below the ST players. which is why i believe you have scout everyone and set up up your board all the way to 96 (not if you pick #1 of course).

Thing is though I see P and K as useless in the draft. They only have one trainable skill so its just a waste as you can take an academy player with strong leg and no extra training and you can get kick and punt as high as you want.

Whereas even a bad Linebacker or even FB will be more useful than an academy player with no extra training.

P and K will always be at the bottom of my board every season. G are just CB and likewise with KR as RB (or FB for me) so don't regard them as ST players.

Do YOU need anymore LBs?

I get what you are saying. All im saying is it might not be the worst thing if "you" end up with a young, strong K or P with great potential, as he would "easily" become a good O- or D- lineman.
Maybe we should just agree to disagree.

I have a 91% Linebacker AC who can train all physicals and most secondary skills you would use so anyone who doesn't make my 55 man depth chart gets put there for development purposes.

They aren't all going to stay Linebackers ....

Either that or we are going to take over the world with AN ARMY OF LINEBACKERS

My board has been set a while now. im not going to tell you what im targetting (but its not QB, K or P).

IMO a nice balanced draftclass. i have seen some with 20 QBs.

Yeah my board is set.

I downloaded the excel file, wrote some formulas to grade the players based on physicals, TW, Int, Traits, Position and weighted them how I wanted and pretty much went with that.

Saves spending ages debating who should go where. Last season I think I spent ages on the 20-40 bracket none of which were picked. Stick the formulas in and trust that.

Tweaked it a bit to make sure the P/K were 94-96 in the draft as couple of duffers graded lower.

I bet we have different formulas, but thats how i do it aswell (i do it manually so it still takes ages). I gotta hope some bots go for Ps and Ks and leave me something decent.
