Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Build Through the Draft, an FOF2k4 dynasty

Sim through the 2004 season with full AI control. The Istotopes go a mediocre 8-8, landing the all important 14th pick in all rounds.

We need a new head coach and defensive coordinator, so we hire the HC with the best injury rating (Excellent!) and the DC with the highest rating in DL (also Excellent). We get to FA and release everyone, then skip the remainder of FA and move on to the draft.

In the first round, a number of skill players go early, thus when we pick, there is a stud DE still on the board. With our line play bias, we jump on him. Later picks produce little in the way of linemen, with us only nabbing a mediocre LT and C in the 4th and 7th rounds respectively. The draft class looks like:

Code:

Finch	 Emmanuel	LDE	22	68
Troy	 Ron		RB	49	61
Hatton	 Jon		WILB	18	57
McNeil	 Anthony	QB	20	49
Ridgeway Daniel		C	15	44
Crane	 Perry		LT	11	42
Whiteman Gene		RCB	14	38

We fill the rest of the roster with, well, roster filler. Few of them show promise for being long term keepers, and disappointingly, none of those are linemen.

Attitude report:
We signed 55 players, and there are two conflicts. These are easily resolved, cutting nobody who is a leader. This could be much more difficult in later seasons, when draftees will unsuspectingly usurp leadership positions. We’ll be a happy winless team.

Its an ugly year for the Isotopes, we manage to win one along the way, the Asheville Axemen should be embarrassed. Since we had nothing to gain this season but experience for our draftees, lets see how they progressed and performed.

Code:

Finch	EmmanuelLDE	31	67 - 57 tack, 17 asst 5.5 sack, 4 blk, 17 hurry, 5.6 prp
Troy	Ron	RB	53	61 – 174 att, 667 yds 2TD
Hatton	Jon	MLB	21	52 – 82 tack, 38 asst 2 sack, 2 hurr, 9 PD 16.9 tack%
McNeil	Anthony	QB	27	48 – 207/416, 49/7%, 2090 yds, 3TD, 19 INT, 47.8 rate
Ridgeway Daniel	C	23	44 – 16/67 KRB, 2SkA, 0.4 Sk%
Crane	Perry	LT	13	34 – 5/21 KRB, 13SkA, 3.0 Sk%
Whiteman Gene	RCB	19	32 – 1INT, 7 PD, 22 caught, 19.7 pdp

.

Finch, Troy and Hatton look like keepers. Wait, they're all keepers, those guys look like starters. McNeil is a borderline starter/capable backup, and Ridgeway looks like a career backup. Since being drafted by the Isotopes is like being given a lifetime guaranteed contract, Crane and Whiteman will be stealing the rest of their careers.

Also, somebody won the division, and the Solecismic Bowl, but you did are not reading this dynasty to hear about them.
