Thoughts on this seasons draft class?

Ill start: Using the same formula for the last many seasons, i have 43 players with a 1st round grade (although a lot are bottom 1st rounders). positionwise my board always seem to look the same, with a lot of D at the top and special team players in the bottom.

I still have starting positions open, but im not gonna reach for those positions, but stay true to the board.

think ill do a slow reveal scroll down this year, checking off players as they go.

Pretty much in a position where its unlikely many if any draft picks will make my 44 man team (disregarding ST) and looks like I wont have a decent spot so not too bothered about it, have set a board based on my formula and will probably just stick to it.

Would consider a P in the 3rd if only for the EXP but none of them have over 41 Strength so will swerve that as well.

I did that one year but people bloody renaming players messed that up.

How is everyone's draftees from last years going. Moreno has done a decent job for me as my Number 2 MLB this season. Madrid has just been training and playing G but might make the 44 next season.

My development QB in the 3rd has been a disapointment capping low (speed 41, strength 36) so may need another project.

1st round pick was OL, and is holding a back-up position. 2nd round pick is 3rd QB.
3rd round pick was another QB and was sold immediately after the draft.
O-Liner and QB will contribute in maybe 2-3 seasons, depending on retirements.

1st Round pick was a SF he's on my roster just about
2nd Round I didn't like much of what was available and picking 30th I went for a gamble and chanced on a FB with high TW to move to the OL with the view of him playing in a few seasons or being sold on. That's looking promising either way
3rd Round Managed one training session before moving on for next to nothing.

1st rounder young (19) FB will be my backup OT in the next season.
2nd runder G has been 49,4 speed and with his solid Intelligence he is a promising prospect to the D. Now I train up his strenght, but that cost me another season. No decision yet about his future.
3rd rounder was just a young rebound QB with good Int and TW, but with low capped speed. At this moment he sits on the TM and waiting for his new team. Probably he'll be a great NT, but I brought a better one for 70 million.

My 1st round RB is just training right now. Will be a great workhorse for me down the road, but now sits behind 3 veteran RB's. He could get playing time next season, depending on what position(s) Fauzi plays next season.

2nd rounder is my #6 WR and is getting decent playing time with quite a few catches. A lot of old WR's in front of him, so retirements could move him up the depth chart quickly in the next couple years. Looks to be a younger clone of Crandall, which is a very good thing.

3rd rounder was a punter. Lots of thinking had to be done here. Could've kept him as a kicker, but decided to go another route to avoid having my kicker and punter the same age. Was hoping for a little more strength than his 44.5. Sold him for 13.6 million.

Have only looked at one-third of this year's draft class so far. Probably hoping that my 1st rounder will stick on my team, but with having a late pick, I doubt the 2nd and 3rd rounders will stay on my team.

1st round SF training hard to replace my 33 old SF who has been on my roster since my first season in the game. Which he will retire at the end of next year.

2nd round FB trained at OL to back up what could become a weak spot in my roster.

3rd QB looking great to take over the backup/starter QB roll in a few seasons

1st round TE: 2nd String TE. A good one.

2nd round: G moved to CB: 19yo who needs Training but will be a great CB in the future.

3rd round: FB still looking for his str cap.

This year its a lot easier to set up the Draftboard with the 7th pick.
I hope they dont have to play in 2.x next season...
