This year was quiet award wise -
NFL Defensive Player of the year: DE Julio Stanton All Pro 1st Team: DE Julio Stanton Super Bowl MVP: Alregde That’s it. Arledge was robbed. He had the highest completion % in the league, the most passing yards pass TD,s and a 10+ QB rating, fourth best in the league. He has the best record, and won a Super Bowl Yet no all pro. Arledge was robbed Haden had a good season, and I was hoping he’d get AllPro, but that wasn’t to be. |
Stats!
Code:
Arledge led all Qbs in yards by 300 was the most passing TDs by 2, 4th best QB rating, and had the best completion % among qualifiers at 70.9% . Now Zeke was nfl MVP and deserved it with 2400 rushing yards. But for Arledge to not even get a All Pro is sad. However, he was sacked...48 times. That's can;t continue Rushing - Code:
Nobody rushed well. But we need to revisit this in the off season. I am going to put a pin in it. Receiving - Code:
the good news here is that the introduction of L Murray helped in receiving. 690 yard receiving is no joke. Norwood just clocked 1000+ yards, and no one had that many TDs. Blocking - Code:
Jerry had a very respectful year in KRB, but sucked for sacks allowed. Compare to a Shon Coleman or Joe Thomas who kept sacks to a minimum. Jerry was 7th i most KRB by a OG. KR Hurns has a KR RET TD, and the 3rd best KR Average. Just 15 special teams tackles and 1 FF though K Redman was 31 of 37 and 47/47 PAT O Emerson 83 punts, 48.1 avh, 39.2 net. 6th best punt average in league, 8th best net Defense: Code:
Stanton's massive 23.5 sack year is there too. Horner had 9.5 sacks in 13 games. A 12 sack season in 16 would have been 9th best in the league. I'm very okay with these two sackmasters. The QB must go down, and he must go down hard. We had a lot of injuries, so it's hard to bee too judge-y. But I like the contributions here by DT Bennie Logan and his 8 sacks from the DT spot in just 13 games, but Shelton was All Pro two years ago and has dropped his game C0verage: Code:
Joe Haden lead our team with 6 picsk, and was tied with 5 other people for most picks on the season. Good job Haden! He played so much better in the nickel. SS Wilcox again wth a solid year. CB Harrison had 10 pass defensed but just 13 games paying for us, and i wis h Schmidtke did a little better, but overall we were fine here. Check out Banda for 9 pasdef, second best on team, and 2 picks |
Team Awards!
Offensive MVP - QB Arledge - He led the league i a bunch of very pertinent stats. You can't but respect his game. Good job! Defensive MVP - DE Julio Stanton. Duh Special Teams MVP - P Emerson - Although no All Pro nods, the field position of quality he gives really helps make him a weapon Rookie of the Year - Hmmm...OG Vernon West. Due to injuries at various positions, started at OG, C and OT for us. And despite his youth, and a sack plagued year, just had 2 sacks allowed, and a respectable 11 KRB. Thanks! Heart Award - TE Seth DeValve. This is exactly what the heart award is for. Here is this mid round guy from Princeton, buried on teh depth chart, just a 38 ranking or so, and he gets 4 TDs ad 630 yards this year. He had more pass yards, by far, than the Cameron above him. he had tje 14th most receiving yards for TEs as a backup! Thanks to all of my peops! |
I did not expect this dynasty to be this successful this quickly. I'm surprised. I figure around year 3-4 I would have built up my roster, brought in a UFA qb and made that my first attempt at a Graham after my roster was already 10 wins. But it went fast
|
End of Season Score –
90 Team Performance 74 Value 85 Profit 30 Roster 80 year end score Major retirees: Joe is still playing for us. Both of them! QB Palmer, Elie the Lesser, Alex Smith, Ryan Fitz TE Olsen, Graham G Evans, Incognito, Lang, etc DE Mario Williams, DT Ngata, Among many others 86.4% team attendance, we made a healthy 87 mill We have very poor parking in the stadium (I’ve watched NFL games there, yay you do Cleveland) so I submit a plan to update parking, 35 mill, we pay 50%. Staff Draft – I choose 15th There a DC a lot of folks are touting as the next great head coach, he’s available for my pick, but I genuinely like my guys bars and strengths better. I make no changes to my staff Should I be franchising any of my free agents? They are QB Chase Daniel, Allen Hurns, DE Xavier Cooper, NT Gabe Wright, SS Ibrahim Campbell and LB Nate Orchard Nah, I like Orchard and Copper, both 51 rated backups. But It’s let to let them head off |
Free Agency Time!!!
Like normal, we don’t have a lot of talent out there in FA land. This is not uncommon in FOF, as teams keep their talent better the longer the game goes. I only see 5 players in the 60+ range = K Bell, SE Matthews, SE Kearse, P Carr, and NT Cox. I don’t need any of those. Save maybe SE Matthews. Any major busts or stuff I need to be aware of for my roster? Nah, Norwood, Lynch and Hawkins are 58, 54, 58. C Graham 58, 73 for Thomas and Bitonio, etc. OG Vernon West I drafted last year is 57/60 already. He may push OG Jerry out of the starter role. Jerry was a patch and is 32 years old, so that’s fine by me. I need to figure out Shelton long term. McGee came back from injury and is still 73/73 rated, so he looks good. Right now I have a DT problem for the future, but I could see moving from Shelton to McGee and Logan. I sign a few RFas: RB Perry Ramsay, now 48/50. Still keep growing a little here and there. DE Michael Dunn, 53/53 backup DE, 3 year deal for serious cash (2 mill a year) SLB Terry West for another year RCB Jeffery Turnbull for another year I am currently 24 mill under the cap Players in the last year of their deal of note OT Joe Thomas CB Joe Haden CB Nolan Carroll WR Hawkins WR Norwood RG Jerry RB Bernard Now these next are in the last year of their rookie deals, and this will need a bigger cap hit to retain OT Shon Coleman TE Seth DeValve FS Derrick Kindred SE Ricardo Louis SKB Emmanuel Ogbah WLB Joe Schobert Haden might have faded a bit, but he still had a good season ,and is just 29. I can extend him, and drop his cap hit by 5 mill this year in doing so. I do. I like him as a Nickelback. He did a great job, and having the trifecta of Haden and my two youngers was strong last year I will let CB Carroll head off SE Norwood is 58/58, 10th year, 32 years old. He already dropped a bit. He wants double his current salary to extend his deal. No. Sorry. But no. FL Andrew Hawkins, 58, 32, will have a 300k increase to keep for another year at 6 mill. Now that is something to think about. Also, I may want to wait until camp to resign these guys, in case they fade OG John Jerry can finish his term and head out. Thanks! I extend RB Bernard by a year and drop his salary in doing so, he is now making 2..5 mill this year and next. Do I like Ogbah enough as my WLB to keep him in that role moving forward? He wants 18 mill for three years. Signing him to a long term deal, knowing I will be doing the same for Banda soon means I have no place to draft a groom good LB. But I do like hi in this role. 91 pass rush tech, 87 pass rush strength, 100 hitter – he is made to rush. WLB is agood place for him to do so. He’s had 12.5 sacs in 3 years, not a bad number. Let’s hold off on that financial decision right now, see where my cap is DeValve was very successful my my backup TE role, so I extend him for 3 more years and 1.5 to 2 mill a year. WR Louis has been buried on my depth chart, but is a solid 51/51 guy. But I don’t ee a lane in, like special teams or returns that Hurns had that made him so desirable to pick up. He wants real money lie k 9 mill in 3 years money. Sorry Louis. So what do I need this year? I have 47 players on my roster right now signed: This is Cody Kessler’s last year. Trade bait? Nah Some folks are interested in SLB Schobert and DT Shelton (3rd and 4th from Atlanta), W R Louis with the Colts (4th) I extend Shon Coleman. I don’t want to have to find Joe Thomas’s replacement while also worrying about the other OT as well. 4 years, 24 mill. Kindred wants 4 years, 18 mill.. In the 13 games he started last year, he had 2 picks and 7 pasdef, which is not bad. Not what I want long term. FA Time |
FA Time
64/64 SE Matthews wants a ton of cash – 60 mill, 5 years cash. What do I need? A lights out RB, lights out TE, lights out WR, future replacement for Thomas, depth at LB, depth at DT if I move Shelton or McGee, KR or PR. Lights out FS, Depth I can’t resign Ogbah, Kindred both Replacement at WR for Norwood. Well, I can cut CB Carroll if I wanted to. That would free up 6 mill But I have another plan for that cash, sign QB Arledge to his first long term deal I make a vet min offer for QB Daniel for two years Huh. I fund him. Undrafted WR Cooper Fisher, 2nd year, not sign with any year last year. It’s hard to find someone who is good at both KR and PR, especially at this level, I make him an offer. 74/93 kr and 42/70 pr 58/58 Melvin Gordon is too pricey. I feel like L Murrary is good enough to stay as a 3rd down back, but I need a rock carrier. Gordon is scat back too. 96 breakaway, 90 3rd down, 76 speed to outside, 100 blitz pickup, etc. But he is horrible catching. He wants almost 40 mill for 4 years. Nah. Maybe Ramsey will keep growing? There’s just no talent out there where the price meets my need, or where I’m willing to spend but no talent. My backups are among the best players in FA – DE Xooper is the 13th best player on the Grey Sheet, and DT Wright 28 and LB Orchard 41st. I want to make an offer to bring back Xavier Cooper then, he’s cheap. But he’d be the 4th guy on my team, is better as a 3-4, and that would lock me to having pro contracts for all four DEs, leaving my no room to draft and groom later. I end the first stage to see if any of the players I would like at WR or RB would want a cheaper deal. Week 4 – RB Gordon signed for serious cash. SE Matthews for serious cash. Let’s look at the draft We pick 32nd I interview the top four RB, none are that strong. I’d might make a play and move up if the right person was there. We have three stud CBs, 2 stud S, 3 stud middle lB, the weakest D Line in living memory, 4 compelling OT, 1 stud C, no stud WRs, but a handful of good ones, interview a bunch of WR, S, and others I think would be there around 1.32. There is a 9th rated WR on the board, but with great scores – fastest dash, red agility and solecismic scores, and I interview him but overrated. Ah well, I thought he might be someone to grab and grow, maybe. I also like 5th place Tony Tate, 3 reds, 2 blues, and as scouted interview. I could see taking Tate at 1.32. TE Otis Crackel may be a sleeper 0 3 reds, 2 blockers, but 4.7 rating Week 5 – DE Cooper signs with Miami. Matthews for a ton of cash Week 8 – Daniel sings Week 10 - We sign WR Fisher |
The 2019 NFL Amateur Draft
The first player off the board is OT Oscar Grueneich to Jacksonville Our pick arrives and the Panthers snagged Tony Tate the 1.31 pick. Grrr! There are two players on the board that I like. SS Bumgarner, who was not at the combine (I find those are often undervalued by the AI so I like to scout them), came in underrated, the smartest person in the draft, low volatility. I could grab him, develop him for a year, and then let him head off and replace either Wilcox or my current FS if it works out. The other is one of the top WRs in the draft, SE Wright? I did not expect him to fall, so I didn’t interview him. I thought Tate would fall instead. Well, I was off by one. Great bars. If I’m not keeping Norwood beyond this year, and that looks likely, and Hawkins is 32 and who knows with him, then grabbing Wright here makes sense. I have to grab on luck though, without targeting the player. 1st round pick, 1.32 SE Dustin Wright, Penn state Our 2nd round pick arrives and I take a look around. Wow, are you kidding me? The best FB on the board, who looks like a legit player is there. The top OT on the board has sick bars. And There is a great, high bar RB there too. The best FB on the board, FB Ralph Schuster or RT Cesar Howard or RB Deon Camp I offer trade to the redskins, at 3.4. I send them Danny Shelton for their 3rd this year and 5th next. Hopefully I can lock down one of these players there. I take FB Schuster The next four picks are RB, OG, GB, and OG. So my guy likely would have gone before I picked again Both OT and RB are there. I grab the OT. He’s the top player on the board, and I don’t see him going too much further. I’m not sure RB Deon Camp makes it to 3.32, Camp has a 5.3 rating, great bars, he is very, very slow. But he great receiving back, great returner, and looks sexy as all get out with power inside and hole recognition. No speed, no elusiveness, no speed to the outside. What about OLB Daryl Moore? Alright let’s move. If he were faster, but les catch-y, ;d trade up for Camp. But I just don’t feel it enough to make the sacrifice He heads to Tampa at 81 End of round three – who do I like? Who fell? I grab SLB Jordan Garcia, from Boise State. He has two reds, two blows, and doesn’t suck 4th? RB Hugh Grudisch, 5 blue scores , may be worth the flyer 5th? TE Donny Bennett is fine 6th? FS Lincoln Baxter is a flyer. Fast – 4.33 dash, four blues. 7th? CB Rodolfo Clifford looks like a grower, 1 red, three blues – fast, agile, spec and smart, has a 5.2 grade, so this is not a bad place either. We have an A draft evaluation The 2019 Cleveland Draft – 1st – Wr Dustin Wright, Penn State 2nd- FB Ralph Schuster, Okalhoma State 3rd – OT Cesar Howard, Texas 3rd – OLB Jordan Garcia, Boise State 4th – RB Hugh Grudich, Georgia Tech 5th – TE Donny Bennett, Washington State 6th - FS Lincoln Baxter, Michigan State 7th – CB Rodolfo Clifford, Sacred Heart (Conn) Howard is the 6th OT on the green page, but he is one the green page. 11 OTs are on the GP. I may have gotten him so deep because everyone else got a great Ot too. Early results: Howard – 22/71 Schuster 41/68 Wright, 38/67 Garcia 24/51 Clifford 20/42 Baxter 20/37 Bennett 15/37 Grudich 23/33 Well, we can home Grudhisch, Clifford, Baxter, ,Garcia, grow! But given where we picked, I think we did fine. We got a 38/67 WR at 1.32, and a 41/68 FB at the end of 2. Then I traded for Howard, who is clear winner. Hopefully! Our stadium vote passes! |
Arledge holds out, and I agree. I sign him to 55 mill, 5 years.
I have 56 players under contract. Anyone I want to make an offer too? 13 UFAs. Many looklike, some rare just bodies for camp, lik FB Tim Sipe and QB Lukas Upshaw Week 2 – 6 of my UFAs sign. Week 3 – 4 more join us I need depth and offer DT Rex Raymond a 4three year 3.3 mill dealt to be my backup Week 4 – Everybody finishes signed for me. |
Camp TIME!!!
I have 69 players on my roster, so I cut: UFA C Francis – I signed two, one came back 22/60,sso I’m keeping that UFA for now UFA LT Enrique Dunn UFA QB Lukas Upshaw UFA FB Tim Sipe I trade backup OT Stine for 5th rounder to the Cardinals in 20201. I have too many OTs. I Have 5 ghreat OGs – the worst is 46/46 Drango. The Packers pick him up for their 4th in 2021. I trade LB Joe Schobert to the Skins for their 4th rounder in 2022 I cut CB Nolan Carroll, and I extend FS Derrick Kindred to a 18 mill, 4 year deal. I cut CB Tre Doucette, I extend QB Kessler by a year, Joe Thomas by a year, and FL Hawkins by a year. I extend OLB Ogbah. We go 30-10 over the Seahawks, 30-24 over the Pack, 38-15 over Rams, and 26-23 iver Vikings – 4-0 preseason! Post preseason, I cut: C Tatum TE Donny Bennett RB Grudich Some UFAs at various places CB Haden faded 10 points, Norwood busted to 49/49. I cut him, Post camp, Lincoln Baxter moved to 28/53, and CB Rodolfo to 26/45 |

STATST!
Passing - Code:
Arledge was 2nd most in pass yards behind Ben R, lowered his propensity for picks, had the most TD passes, 2nd best QB rating behind Matt Ryan. Rushing Code:
Front Office Football EightRamsey's 1702 yard season was great, and was 3rd most in the year, after Zeke at 2201 and a guy for the giants. He had the 4th most rushing tds in teh league as well Receiving - Code:
Front Office Football EightI was surprised that Wright was not Offensive rookie of the Year with that year. But the RB who one was Bell, with 1361 rushing yards, 6 rush score,s nad 722 receiver yards too. and 5 rec TDs. So I get it - 2000+ yards from scrimmage. Wright was 2nd in teh league in receiving yards, and led in catches. He was on fire. I don't have buyer's remorse with picking him instead of that really good safety! No PR/KR scores. K Prater was 33 for 38, and 57/57 PAT, long of 58 P Emerson, 73 punts, 48.0 avg, 38.9 net Blocking! Code:
Joel had a bunch of RB, and was 4th in KRB among OGs. Graham was 2nd among Cs. Two All Pros here, good job! Defense!!! Code:
You can just see how nasty my D Line is. Horner was third in sacks, 1.5 off the leader at 18.0. Stanton was fith in sacks, and led the league in hurries. Banda has a good year too. Coverage!!! Code:
Schmidtke was the league leader i picks, and in picks returned for scores. And yet was not All Pro. That's the rob I mentioned before. In fact, no other CB in the leader had more than 5 picks, the ones with 6 were safeties. Banda led my team in pas def, and was 3rd with 3 picks. Wilcox was injured, so that;s understandable, but Kindred took a step back with 2 picks and 4 pasdef. I expect more. |
Season Awards;:
Offensive MVP - RB Perry Ramsey - I really like RB Perry Ramsey for this role. He was strong, and the first realyl strong season by a RB we had. In other seasons, they averaged around 4-1 yards, and it was the number of rushes that game them their stats. Not so with Ramsey, who was 4.50. Defensive MVP - Robert Banda, he led the team in tackles, and had a bunch of picks, sacks, pasdef, and more. He proved it on teh field. Special Teams MVP - K Prater - He kicked a 58 yard fFG, which is a ton longer than his predecessor could ever do - his longs were 51 or 52. Rookie of the Year - WR Dustin Wright - Duh. All Pro in first year? Duh Heart Award - FS Lincoln Baxter - late 6th round that had to step into Haden's shoes a bunch, had a pick, pasddef, and looked good. Thanks!!! |
the Otto Graham Challenge needs a lot of Super Bowl titles. Not making it does not help. But, getting your first All Pro is nice.
In teh meantime, it's weird how many top shelf players I have from lower places. Take DE Joey Horner, a 2 time All PRo, 1 time DePotY, and was an undrafted FA I picked up. C Andrew Graham just had an All Pro year, after I signed him as an undrafted FA and converted him from OG to OC. Both former WRs we had were undraftd - Norwood and Hawkins, and Hurns in two years as well - all undrafted. P Rob Emerson, All Pro, undrafted (although that one is not too uncommon). RB Perry Ramsey, undrafted. |
End of Season –

Both were first round draft picks by the Browns, both were solid players, both were in the top of their game, and both languished on bad tema after bad team.

No coach changes |
Here are my FAs that I have coming up:
K Matt Prater NT Corey Peters RG John Jerry FS Ed Reynolds RG Bryson Hickman WR icardo Louis Nope, we’re good. Hickman is the best of te lot. A UFA we built to 60, but he’s run blocking only, has 100 run blocking but 3 pass. I didn’t want that long term. Free Agency Baby!!! We are 30 mill under the cap. 24 mill space available. I have 38 players under contact I am about to be the victim of my drafting success. Let me show you: These draftees are in the final year of their initial contract. CB Cooper Schmidtke, 65/65 CB, wants 49 mill over 5 years CB Antoine Harrison, 62/62 CB, wants 25 mill over 4 years FL Gabriel Lynch, 53/53 WR, wants 20 mill over 5 years DE Julio Stanton, 86/86 DE, wants 105 mill over 5 years MLB Robert Banda, 74/74 LB, wants 58 mill over 5 years Also – RB Perry Ramsey, wants 34 mill in 5 years If I didn’t have a salary cap, I’d pay them all. But I do. Here’s some context on each: DE Stanton is the best DE in the league. In fact, he’s the 9th best non-kicker in the league. He’s already been all pro twice. He was injured for all but 5 games his rookie year, and still has 40 sacks in 3 years. Stanton is the real deal. He’ll be a hall of Fame player. I don’t want him playing anywhere else. (Horner is 13th best in the league by stats). I also have the 4th and 6th best DTs in the league. At CB, Cooper Schmidtke is the 20th best, and Harrison is 27th. Not bad for a starting tandem. Banda is the 3rd best Lb in the league at any positon, and Kirksey is 11th btw. I want to keep Banda, Schmidtke, Harrison, and Stanton. But that’s not easy Who is mission critical? I extend DT Bennie Logan by a year, and drop his cap hit to 11 mill this year Others players in the last year of their current contact: SS Wilcox TE Cameron WR Hawkins DT McGee RB Latavius Murray LB Kirksey I can’t keep the show together. Now I can tag one next year, like Stanton. But I need to figure some of this stuff out now. I extend Kirksey by 3 years. Because of cheap ness, I extend CB Antoine Harrison first I will let the older Wilcox and Cameron finish their deals. I would love to resign McGee despite him being out for a year and a half. But he wants real serious DT money, and I have him for a very cap friendly below-market deal. I want to hold off on Ramsey. In fact, I am going to advance to show you a potential target. 86/86 RB David Johnson. He wants 61 mill over 4 years. Ramsey wants $33,360,000, 4 yrs. That’s a big cap difference. Especially as I look for my full time RB. But Ramsey is just 51/51. I have a few fears. Ramsey was great last year, but if I sign him to a big deal, and let others go, and he’s not able to replicate that success, we are in a bad place. Ramsey isn’t even in the top 30 RBs by current score. On the other hand, Johnson is the best back in the league. Last year he had a 5.2 ypc average, considerably better than Ramsey. He’s in his 6th year in the league. Had 5500 rushing yards in the last 4 years, and is a reliable bet. You get Johnson, and you are going to run over everyone. But it is worth savaging my stellar defense for Johnson? I extend DE Joey Horner by two more years, drop his salary cap hit by one million. I extend RB Ramsey and give him the big deal. I extend LS Newsome for vet min salary for another year I look at the draft. I want to hold off on resigning details until later. There’s the very underrated S Barret, 3rd best in the draft or very underrated CB Virata, also 3rd best CB in the draft out there. If one falls, I could grab them and build them into my replacement for that position for Wilcox or Sch… or such. I would like to come away from FA with a good K. There are two good ones in FA. But we can hold off on it. Week 2 – RB Johnson signed a deal for 90 mill. I wasn’t touching that. Week 3 – My two high quality OGs, Jerry and Hickman sign for 40 mill, 5 years with Atlanta (Hickman) and Tennessee for 8 mill, 2 years. Week 11 Prater signs. There’s one more good K out there I sign K Mason Crosby for 8 mill, 3 years – 74/74 K I make an offer to TE Clive Walford to come in and be my receivers leader and have some affinities. 52/52 Alright, draft time |
The NFL 2020 Amateur Draft
We pick 30th First player taken? WR Tevin McCarthy, from Northern Arizona, heading to play for the Jets. This is a very heavy LB draft, and I hope to get some talent there. Here are the people I am hoping fall. IIt’s pick 1.20. I have TE Shea, who interviewed well, looks great, S Barret, CB Virari, and there is this absolute stud of a MLB still on the board, and came back underrated when we interviewed him. Total fox. Of that list, I like Shea and the CB/S the most, they are needs or opportunities. It is looking good In order, I would like Shea, Varrett, Virari, and MLB Howerton. All four are at the top of their boards now. Howerton is the best player left in the draft by far, but LB is not a position of need right now for me But I would take him all day long. 1.20 – Seattle DE Torres 1.21 – Miami, S Barrett – that sucks. But there are other options out there 1.22 – 49ers – QB Dunn 1.23 – Bengals OT Gruden 1.24 – Dallas trades for this pick and grabs S Cobb Pause. The remaining teams need MLB, CB, and TE in various places. We are 1.30. Will at least one these top players fall? I don’t think Howerton falls to us. The 2nd need of the team at 1.29 is middle lb. How could you pass that up with that need? I only have 5 picks from here to me, but I’m not feeling it – 3 teams need MLB, 3 need CB, and 1 needs TE. All are picking with the top player on the board in those three areas are my targets. Let’s slow roll this, because I would be willing to move up and target one. 1.25 – Oakland TE Shea – Uh oh 1.26 – Denver….. Denver is up. CB is their top need. I don’t think the CB makes it past them. Do I feel strongly enough to trade and take CB on the board? Or do, There is no way MLB Howerton is falling to me. And I could trade for a stud of studs at MLB. I make the trade. I send Denver my 2 5ths there year and 6th next to make the move We are drafting 1.26 Here, let’s make this fun! I’ll take some pics for you: Who do you take? The MLB, who is amazing, but not at a positon of need, or the CB? Now I have starters at both spots. But I could grab the LB Freddies, and move someone else,or draft CB Freddie, and have him move into the CB spot later. Who do you grab?  I am taking Virata. I just signed LB Kirksey to an extension. Perhaps I could have waited, and I could move folks around to supplement and remove Ogbah, sign Banda, and have Banda, Kirksey, and this guy as my three LBs. But I have two LBs in the 70-s. None of my d backs are that high. Virata is also at a position of more depth, and can immediately be my nickel back. Also, Virata is 4 years younger… Howerton went 1.28 2nd – FS Miles Tatum, - I like his great and strong bars. No combine scores though. 3rd – LB Scott Staat – Many good LBs are falling. I grab Staat. 4th – WR Zachery Stone – Has some great bars How is ILB Vince Horton still on the board in round 5? That guy was one of the top ILBs We have him as scouted, and yet, here he is, still on the board. That makes no sense to me. At pick 154, where the Bills need an ILB, I make a trade to dial myself back into the 5th round. I offer a future 5 for it. They take it (they are picking 5.26) 5th round - LB Vince Horton. I am taking him all day long 6th Round – DE Tyrone Walker - Depth 7th round – OG Duane Auguston – Depth Amateur Draft Report: Rnd 1 - Freddie Virata, CB, Mississippi State Rnd 2 - Miles Tatum, S, Hawaii Rnd 3 - Scott Staat, OLB, Texas A&M Rnd 4 - Zachery Stone, WR, Mississippi Rnd 5 - Vince Horton, ILB, Northwestern Rnd 6 - Tyrone Walker, DE, Purdue Rnd 7 - Duane Auguston, G, Howard |
I get a trade offer from the Steeler for QB Kessler for their 6th. I accept.
Pre-camp, my rookies have: 35/71 – Horton 32/62 Virtata 26/62 Tatum 23/59 Stone 24/53 Staat 13/46 Auguston 17/35 Walker We’ll see of any of that stands. Virata came back very underrated and as scouted for Horton. I have 46 players under contract. I make offers to RB Malcom Stevens, C Bryce Gardner, OT Norbert Collier, OG Adrian walsh, DE Ajani Jefferson, NT Stewart Steven, RCB Josue Haider – all UFAs. I make an offer to QB Brock Osweiler for vet min cash SS Karl Joseph was not resigned and was let go as a RFA. He is 52/52, and 5th year as a pro. JJ Wilcox is in the final year of his deal, is 60/60, is 31, costs me 7 mill this year, and Joseph just wants 10 mill over 3 years, much better cap hit this year. I’m thinking of trying to bring in Joseph, and then moving Wilcox and if Joseph doesn’t work out after a year, I can try someone else. I release GIo Bernard and make an offer for UFA Jace Stevison and RB Aaron Wolf, 5th year man, 50/50, cheap, and 92 in Punt Returns. Week 2 – I bring in Osweiler and a few Ufaa. Week 3 – I bring in Wolf and a bunch of UFAs Week 4 – All of my targets join us. I try to shop Wilcox but there are no GMs interested, so I waive him. I offer a spot to UFA CB Junior Norton and he signs next week |
CAMP!!!!!
I have enough money to chase some folks down. I extend Hawkins by a year I do not like where CB Virata is post Camp and fell to 38/56, so I want to extend CB Schmidtke, but 50 mill over 5 years is a major commitment. Make the deal. What about Banda? I extend him too We go 2-2 in the preseason I cut: Nt Stewart C Bryce Gardner RB Malcolm Stevens CB Haider Roster!!! Code:
This was not a good camp. My supposed star CB has dropped considerably. Now I got luck with LB Horton, you can see him doing well holding at 69 potential. But still…. If I had taken the ILB, here is what I would have had – 57/83. Just a house of a player/ Ah well. My other targets? TE Shea was 48/63. S Barrett? Just 43/59. It he could grow, I don’t know. But CB Virata busted to 32/39. That’s not right. You can see major ebbs and drops for both of my DTs, a little with Hawkins. Good rookie results from….FS Miles I suppose not dropping or SE Stone a legit 3rd option a few years from now? Sigh |

In a down year, ,still had 4000+ yards, and 26 TDs. Was last year an aberration? Or the Arlege here you see the one we have moving forward? 44 times sacked. 6th most sacks in the league. He keeps getting dropped too much. 4th in passing yards, 10th in QB Rating Rush Rush! Code:
Yuck. Ramsey failed. He lost a full yard pc from last year. Catching - Code:
Front Office Football EightWright was still 4th in receiving yards and tied with 8 people, including Hawkins, for 5th in catching TDs. Wolfe had a 1 PR TD K Crosby - 28 of 32, and 49/50 PAT P Emerson = 91 for 48.0 and 39.7 net DEFENSE! Code:
Stanton led the league in sacks. Horner was third. Logan led all DTs in sacks and was 2.5 more than the next guy. This was a huge Brown Out at the D Line. I've never had a team with that many sacks before. My D LIne alone was 6.5 for Mcgee, 22, 18.5 and 12.5 for 59.5. 88 sacks total. Amazing. Boom goes the QB! Coverage - Code:
Kirksey led my team in picks. In fact he led all LBs in the league in picks. You can see the solid work of Harrison and Schmidtke. Not bad. Banda was fine in his starts, and Ogbah did well. SS Joseph didn't have any picks, but he led my team in pass defensed. Sometimes you have a good coverage yaer and no picks to back it up - that happens. He;s fine. Coleman has an 80 pas blocking, I'm not sure what happened there. Probably just match up issues. I need to fix Kindred. Blocks! Code:

Team Awards!
Offensive MVP – OR Shon Coleman – 5th in PT in KRbs and he rocked 3 pancakes. Ots aren’t known for pancackes, only 13 had more than 1. One guy was 7, one 6, one 5, and then 3 3s. Only the sacks allowed were an issue with Coleman, but he still turned in a strong, solid season. Defensive MVP – LB Kirksey – He led all LBs in picks with 6. He had more TDs off picks than any one backers. His 6.5 sacks were tied for 6th highest among LBs. He has d a very, very good season, and with a couple more sacks, and other six or something, I think he would have been DPotY Special Teams MVP – Aaron Wolfe – 1 PR TD, great averages,2nd best PR Avg in league, 12 special teams tackles, and so forth. He has a good, solid season. Rookie of the Year – LB Vince Horton, Played some SS Backer for 4 weeks while Banda was away. 3 sacks, 40 tackles, 17 assists, 2 pasdef, 1 FF. He was the best of the team. Heart Award – S Miles Tatum – Got two picks as the dimeback, moved to nickel when we had that injury to the S Kindred, 5 pasdef as well. Tatum had a very respectable and productive season for us! Undefeated seasons are usually by Juggernauts. This team was not a Juggernaut. Let’s be honest. Right now, how many future HOF players are on the squad? At best, two. Horner and Stanton are both on that parabola. No one else is. Maybe Arledge because he was the QB that won a couple of Super Bowls and went 19-0. We’ll see what his legacy winds up being. We lost Joe Thomas, who might have a shot. No body on my offense right now – no WR, TE, RB, OG, OT, C, of FB is there. Maybe Kirksey? Banda has never gotten to that level yet, although he;s good. Maybe Logan? |
In the last five years, no one has more TD passes than Arledge. No one has more passing yards.

Staff draft
When it gets to my pick there are 10 HCs better than my guy up there. Can I find a better HC? I hire a new head Coach – Jeffrey Burtin, smashmotuh, good at Qbs, 69 playbook. better at our previous HC at player development and interviewing No other changes I franchise Stanton – 11.49 mill cap hit Other players of note that are FAs: Dt Stacy McGee – We just broke up the band QB Osweiler, Daniels, RB Latavius Murray TE Cameron WR Lynch FREE AGENCY1!!! |
I am very tight against the cap. Like 9 mill under, with 7 need for the draft I have 1.7 free cap space. I have a lot of key players in the final year of their deals:
RG Joel Bitonio 29 years old, wants 4 years, 34 mill P Rob Emersion, RG Vernon West, 26, wants 29 mill, 5 years SLB Emmanuel Ogbah, 27, wants 3 years, 12.2 mill. FL Hawkins, Backups TE Downs, DE Dunn, LS Newsome Stanton? Currently paid 11.5 mill, wants 81 mill over 4 years. That’s a jump to almost 16 this year, and then 20, 21, and 24 the next three. Where can I find space in my cap: Ramsey. Signing him was a mistake. Cutting him frees up 7 mill. Kindred, never done well. Cutting him frees up 4 mill Logan. Yes, he was all pro but is 31, cutting him frees up 7 mill Cut or trade all three and I have around 18 mill in cash freed up. And I sign Stanton to a his deal, as well as extend everyone above. No one wants kindred or Ramsey. I cut them, For now, my starting FS will be either Baxter or Tatum, and my RB will be either Wolfe o r…Wolfe? I make an offer to extend RFA RB Jace Stevison and LT Norbert Collier I extend LS Bo Newsome to another year of vet min Given how good he plays, I want to extend OG Joel Bitonio for a few more years. But I want to wait. I often find really good OGs later in the draft that fall, and I want to see if I get a good one to replace either West or Bitonio before I make that call I can save money b y extended SLB Ogbah and P Emerson, and I go ahead and extend Emerson What are my positions of need: Qbx2 RBx2 Lights out TE WR (Lynch is gone, and Hawkins will be soon) Starter DT Figure out Michael Dunn at DE. DT backup Extend or keep Ogbah – Ogbah is had 15.5 sacks, Keep CB Virata? Sign 2 CB, 1 S Can be a stud S if someone pops up Figure out OT. Is Cesar Howard with his 16 KRB and 7 sacks allowed good enough? Figure out OG. Be open to drafting OG in draft, or otherwise sticking with West/Bitonio We have a very heavy DB free agency. I have 82, 72, 69, 65, 62 corners and safeties. And Kindred si 59.59. Now I had a 63/63 RB out there – Harvey Wallace. He’s pricey. I offer a deal to RB Christine Michael, who is 30, older, experienced and cheap. I extend FB Schuster by two years. He is the best FB in the league I make an offer to QB Cardale Jones I make an offer to FL Gabriel Lynch The top OG in FA is 64/64 LG Brandon Scherff, who is cheap, but is a 100 run block, 34 pass block specialist, who allowed 10 sacks last year. He’d be 12 mill over 4 years, and I could sign him, and then trade West. The top OT is LT Allen Hannam, 56/56, and has no blocking strength, but us good elsewhere. |
Let’s look at the draft and see what we have before I make too many decisions here on my O Line.
Huh, it’s an odd draft, with top talent at RB, TE, DE, and places of non-need or early round grabs. What can I get for West and.or Cesar? I make a trade: I trade Jaguars my: OG Vernon West OT Cesar Howard 1.32 this ye 2 Future 2nd rounders in the nnext two years For: 1.3 this year 4th rounders next two years, a 6th and a 7th as well The goal of that is to make a play for the best RB to come through the draft in a log time. I want to put together the pieces I make offers to OG Brandon Scherff and LT Allen Hannam. Should I withdraw my offer for Michael? He’s cheap insurance in case of bustage. But I probably need the cash. Week 2 –RB Christin Michael heads to San Diego Weekl 3 – Megee to the Dolphins Week 4 – I get Hannam and Scherff under my wing Week 6 – I sign Lynch Week 8 – QB jones joins us Do I need anyone else? Nah |
The 2021 NFL Amateur Draft!!!
Pick 1 is the chargers and they grab this stud OT, KC Fletcher. Pick 2? SF Grabs this stud QB. And that leaves me… RB Diego Lorey, 7.7 grade, 8.2 adjusted, 4.37 dash, 4 sole, 26 str, 6.96 agility – four red combine scores. 32 p spc drill, blue It was time to make a splash The other good RB goes 1.10. 1.13 for TE Williams to Denver OG Daniels, 1.17 – The OG I was tracking I pause at 1.32 to see who I would take here. SLB Sawyer Nelson is the best SLB on the board, hasn’t gone yet. We also have a great DE in Bart Perkins or stud C Oliver Rodriguez. SE Chance Tillery is not bad either. The Jags take OC Rod, and I can’t blame them SE Tillery, 2.13 Dt Cesar Fishley –2-31 – one of the last good DTs goes right before my pick. If I had felt that pick, I might have moved up, but the Vikings didn’t need it. GRRRs…. Pick 2.32. How Is DE Perkins, and SLB Nelson still on the board? Neither is a position of need. DE Perkins – Red speed, red str, blue sole These are the top two players on the board not kickers. I take Nelson There is a good corner left, Lincoln Howard, and Perkins, still at 3.16 Are either falling to me at the bottom of the round? Perkins is taken a t3.21 CB Lincoln Howard, 3.32, Stanford At 4.21 I grab DT Stephen Morris 4.32 I take DT Enrique Newman 5.18 – OG Norman Maurer 6.21 – OT Bart Neumeyer 7.32 DE Pete Clayton Amateur Draft Report: Rnd 1 - Diego Lorey, RB, Iowa Rnd 2 - Sawyer Nelson, OLB, South Carolina Rnd 3 - Lincoln Howard, CB, Stanford Rnd 4 - Stephen Morton, DT, Rice Rnd 4 - Enrique Newman, DT, Missouri Rnd 5 - Norman Maurer, G, Indiana Rnd 6 - Bart Neumeyer, T, Boise State Rnd 7 - Pete Clayton, DE, Missouri State |
We finish with 52 players under contract, and about 1.3 mill in cap room
A- Draft grade. I still want to extend OG Bitonio, and Se Hawkins. Coming out of the draft, Sawyer Nelson is looking like 37/79, 19/54 for OG Maurer, 21/43 for OT Neumetyer, 18/55 for DE Clayton, 17/48 for DT Newman, 28/50 for DT Morton, 24/56 fr CB Howard…and……..73/83 for RB Diego Lorey I just have to hope that my notoriously bad decisions on RBs his dynasty (trading a future 1st for Gio Bernard, giving Ramsey huge money, not going after the stud RB in the FA last year.etc) is over with Lorey. We’ll see though…. There are two major ways to make money. Extend (or cut) SLB Ogbah, or cut DT Logan. As you can see, I’ve gotten great quality LBs in the last two drafts with Nelson and Horton. There is no reason to resign Ogbah. I will save 7 mill in cap if I release him. No GM is interested. Time to cut the line. Good luck! I make offers to some UFAs: RB Lorenzo Strickland RB Nathan Angus – Watch these two, they seem like sleepers LCB Korey Fiebelkorn. QB Kelley Lukas QB Pat Simmons SE Phil Weed RCB Walter Porter LCB Tyrone harris TE Jerry Bamburg C Tucker Pinto LB Jackson Francis Week 2 – We sign 5 of our targets Week 3 – Ogbah heads to New York Giants. Another 2 sign. Week 4 – All of y targets sign I have 62 players on my roster. Ready? Do I want to make any other changes tomy roster pre-camp? |
Training Camp!!!
We sell 53k tickets After camp, RB Diego Lorey is he best rookie on the Green Page LB Nelson is I extend FL Hawkins by a year, OG Bitonio by 4 I cut C Pinto, QB Simmons, WR Weed, CB Freddie Virata, DE Tyrone Walker, I extend backup C Juan Rivers another year and backup DE Michael Dunn the same . I extend OT Earnest Ellison, cut OT Norbert Collier, and extend WR Cooper Fisher, my returner. We finish eh preseason 4-0 and with some dominant wins, like 35-0 at the Giants. Bitonio and RB Stevison are questionable I massage my roster Both growing RBs – Angus and Strickland grew. One is 40/53 and the other 43/51. I kind of what to keep both to see where they wind up. I cut RB Aaron Wolfe, who is just a returanr mainly, and little more. I cut CB Tyrone Harris, CB Francise |
