CPTBrown -> Initial Draft (12/26/2005 8:43:00 PM)
|
In anticipation of the (ever) impending release of what seems to be a great game, I have been thinking about my opening moves in my initial draft for my new league. I want to avoid the mistakes that my dear Detroit Lions (PLEASE fire Matt Millen and sell the team, Mr. Ford!) have repeated over and over again. I think Mike Ditka said it best on a post game show after the Thanksgiving debacle, "It's time that they drafted for what plays good, instead of what looks good." In this light, and in a spirited attempt to turn discussion away from the "when is this thing coming out?" and "Please David, add this new idea to the game", I am putting out my list of most important positions. Keep in mind that I want to draft for a run-to-set-up-the-pass type offense and run-stopping defense.
Position Focus
1. OT Run Blocking
2. HB Agility
3. QB Intelligence
4. MLB Tackling
5. FS Hitting/Tackling
6. G Run Blocking
7. WR Speed
8. DT Strength/Tackling
9. C Run Blocking
10. OLB Speed
11. DE Agility/Strength
12. OT Run Blocking
13. FB Run Blocking
14. CB Hands
15. DT Tackling
16. G Run Blocking
17. SS Intelligence
18. OLB Speed
19. WR Hands
20. DE Tackling
21. CB Speed
22. TE Run Blocking
23. K Accuracy
24. P Kicking Strength
I think this sets up well for an over powering running game that can stretch the field with a long pass 4-5 times a game for the big play. Also, with speed at the corners and strength in the middle, the defense should limit big plays and occasionaly produce game changing situations. Genius or Knuckle-Head...I'm thick skinned!
