same, got a legit downfield threat at last, replacement at MLB who is going to be massive in my D and a great FS to help lock down the secondary. Now just about to draft a BIG CB and convert him to WLB.
Have to say I passed on Linville because of his low intelligence, I'm sure it won'y be a problem, but my penalties HAVE to go down next season, they killed us last season


Good DE kicked into the middle of the line, enabling me to euthanise some of the elders there. RT I swung across to the left, massively improves a poor O line. Must have messed up the order yet again drafting a WR rather than the RG I wanted - blessing in disguise really as I got him in the second round.

2 more picks in round 2, should fill a few other gaps.


I'm sure you'd get a good deal for that WR if you were to trade him

I may trade him. He's good, my best by a mile. Do I keep him during a rebuild period or trade. Tough choice.

Suspect it'll depend how the draft lies by my next pick.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe his low intelligence would have any bearing on the amount of penalties you would have. I'm pretty sure it's low discipline that causes higher penalties.

Yeah you're probably right, I think it has more to do with learning the play book, but if his raw skills are THAT good I don't think it matters that much

Hmm, LB I wanted just got drafted so I suspect I'll be getting me a QB next then...

That's a very nice QB prospect this late in the draft.

I thought so.

Thought he and the RG I got would have gone earlier, personally, so happy days.

I'm going to get a player I thought was going to be taken in the late first here in the mid-late second. Pretty happy here too. Vet WRs for trade.

I had him earlier second round rather than late first tbh.

Vets for trade.

Got choices from now on in; plenty of holes need addressing.

Do I go for build one area this draft or more scattergun approach. Would be a lot easier if we had some inkling as to the player distribution for future drafts,
