Richmond Richmen - 2017
Expansion Draft--Found a few players that will be able to make major contributions in the next few seasons. My first pick was DE Ronnie Jones. Drafted a few players who will take up two positions (good returners here). Almost $100 million left under the cap.
Free Agency--Needed a QB, so went after Vincent Snyder. A 4 year, $70.1 million deal was accepted week 5.
In the 2nd half of signings, we targeted C Everett Mahoney, WR Irving Gomez, and LB Courtney Hape. All signed--Mahoney-3/3.54, Gomez-2/11.5, Hape-3/4.82.
After the FA period was over, we signed a few players to one year deals.
Rookie Draft--Holding the #1 pick, we already had our franchise QB, so we were looking for defense. Stud DT Ian Chung was looking fantastic, with maxed out run/pass rush ratings. We drafted him, and hoped he wouldn't bust.
In the 2nd round, we were thinking of taking RB Rico Ackerman, but went for an excellent LB, Karl Mason with potential ratings of 50/93/98/78. Took a solid WR in Colin Daveria in the 3rd round. To our surprise, the RB I was considering in the 2nd round was there in the 4th. I quickly selected him. Took two guards in the 5th and 6th, and a very good LB in the 7th.
Filled the roster out to 70, and then headed to camp.
Training Camp-Thankfully, none of our rookies busted. In fact, most of their ratings grew. A big surprise was WR Marty Abernathy, a FA signing whose potential ratings grew to the point where he could be considered a future #2 receiver. After cutting the roster to 53, we got ready for the exhibition season.
We went 1-3 during the preseason, and the only significant injury was to LB Kerry O'Neil. A sprained neck would sideline him for 3-5 weeks.

Year in Review
A 6-10 season was more than we were expecting. We will hope to break .500 next year. In the offseason, we hope to improve the O-line and Secondary. Very happy with our LBs.

Ackerman--216 car., 812 yards, 3.7 ypc, 4 TDs.
Gomez--89 rec, 978 yards, 7 TDs.
Abernathy--73 rec, 839 yards.
Mason--82 tackles.
Jones--11 sacks.
Rookies:
Chung--9.5 sacks.

Daveria--39 rec, 402 yards.
