You credit us with too much intelligence

My #1 choice was Okorie - he was drafted only 15th- so we all have differing opinions.

I gambled a little placing Filatov at #6 (my 1st round pick) - young WR - plenty of time to train him - hopefully his speed would not be capped - sadly it was, so in hindsight he should have been a 2nd round pick at best.


Okorie was #15 on my board . His two Traits are great, but his INT and TW was not good enough to be higher on my board. Filatov was for me a early 2nd round pick. I had you 2nd round pick Negura very high on my board because of his speed.


I prefered the 2 traits, 50 speed, and already very high other skills over the slight lack of TW/Int - are we sure Int is as imporant for CBs as it is for LBs? And as for the TW, the guy doesn't need much training!!.. 30-35 TW is far from the end of the world...

As I said earlier, we all have different priorities.

I picked #22 this year. The worst draft for me so far, but it's still not horrible. I just didn't get any physical monsters that I usually pick. Some of the better players were at low priority positions for me, and many of them were taken before my 1st round pick anyway.

Got my #1 choice. Needed an OL to help counter old guys. With a retired OL last year, one this year and another who could retire at any time, I needed a good starter. I probably got the best or second best OL in the draft. 45.8 strength, but capped. Good TW, high talent, and young. I think I can find a starting spot for him this year, or make him a backup to help my second stringers.

#11 choice was my top QB choice. He had the highest strength in the draft at 39, but has a yellow mark. Still, if the strength caps at 42 or more, I'll be happy. 50 intelligence, 20 years old, 5 talent

#61 Easily the worst player I've ever drafted. A RB with yellow on his 37 speed. Talent and strength aren't bad, and no yellow on strength. Maybe a future FB. A little bit old though.

Talent is the least important skill in RZA, I didn't even glance at it when sorting my list.

I only downgrade the player if its a 3 1/2* or lower. Something aesthetically displeasing about drafting a guy high who's going to be outtrained by a YA. I know the draftee will be better overall but still...

It depends how one sets up his draft board. I didn't go for best available players, I went for the positions I need. So I put WR/OL/CB at the top and I got that. Perhaps no one needed SF/FB/RB and that's why you got them.


ahh... see I dont really do that. My team is stacked on the Def front 7 and I still had a DL and LB in the top 3 just because of how I rated them overall. I'll slightly overvalue certain positions I don't have (IE. OL) but I won't rate one 7-8 spots higher than I think his draft position is.

A good Kicker is not that bad IMO (Wouldn't take it in the 1st tho), it might end up giving your team alot of wins. And by might i would say will.

Depends on the position and how bad the talent is. I usually don't care too much, but I want a high talent starting QB. I would also be upset if my starting OL and RB were all 1 star talents.

Talent matters to me in only 3 positions...LB, QB, DL
