I can't go back in time and make Minnesota not draft Ponder, but I can fix it going forward.
No other house rules at this time as salary cap management and trades seem to be a nit more challenging in this version.
With that, it's time to go to work and trim some fat.

Offensive needs are QB, some upgrades on the line and a receiver. AP and Rudolph are my best weapons and Patterson has upside, but we need some help.
On the defensive side we need help at linebacker, especially inside and upfront to take some of the focus off of Allen, who is getting up there. In the secondary we are young and I like the Corners, need some depth at safety though.
I will be making all personnel moves and leave the depth charts and game plans to the coaches, whose jobs are precarious at best right now.
