The late free agency is here!

Not very high on my Rookies so far, I know the ratings don't mean anything right now but I hope they all will bump ratings after TC and Pre-2

ILB Aidan Borders 27/52
RB Bart Poston 36/51
T.J. Stith 21/45
Bert Harkins 19/38

SS Luke Donaldson is holding out and he wants starting caliber money... Considering he is just a transition safety until we get the real deal, he can suck it up and hold out as much as he can, I don't care.

Poston was on my draft list. Luke Donaldson was a S I drafted who started performing the same bitching act with me. He wasn't even good enough to make the roster at the time.

I am pretty pumped to see what my new players look like. Gotta wait till I get home from work though!

I think it is important in this version to wait several years before determining how good a draft class is. I have a player in one league that was drafted 1.32 at 33/61, went to 37/47 after TC, 42/50 after ex2, and now in week 12 of his rookie year is sitting at 52/52. If he was a 7th round pick I may have cut him after TC; now I have no idea how good he might be.

Here is where my guys are starting out:

1.6: DE Kent Swift 32/71
2.5: WR Micah Wooden 28/47
3.6: S Jessie Buel 30/62
4.5: TE Bryce Samuels 30/50
6.5: C Burt Karluk 23/51
7.6: CB RJ Harden 16/42
7.8: T Van Krueger 8/42

Considering I picked 6th, it's an ok draft. Hopefully I get some bumps.

If I need to pick a center in the future...

Spoiler

...I will call Lake County to help me out. Two 80+ centers in the draft!

This draft seemed really deep at C. I was going to take a few but I have a couple solid young ones already.

Not a bad haul for the Flames in this years draft...

1. C Gonzalez 31/80
2. SS Green 33/72
3. FB Goings 35/57
4. G Hopson 24/66
5. CB Myers 25/53
6. LB Shields 26/42
7. TE Tharp 18/33

[Guest]

Oooo someone took Tharp! interested in seeing where he turns up after camp.

[Guest]

So far, we are somewhat happy with our draft, mainly on how our front 7 is growing scary like good ole' times:

1.20 OLB Mcvey 51/69
2.16 OLB Hooks 29/62
3.17 RB Garner 36/36
4.16 FS PEarl 22/49
5.18 WR Stark19/40
6.17 QB Boyd 15/31
7.16 MLB Agrela 14/46

Super excited for my 1st and 3rd rd picks. Filled some big holes in my secondary. Deshawn Braasch will be switched to anchor the corner from safety and will befuddle the opposition as he will the sports analysts when they try to pronounce his last name. Lucked out with another good starting safety Alejandro Gillespie, to learn from Fernando Chu, one of the best safeties of all time. The entire state of Utah will be downloading Lady Gaga's monster album tomorrow.Ally-alejandro! Ally-alejandro!

Other than that....we'll see. Sucks I missed my 2nd round pick.
