LOOKING BACK 10 YEAR: THE 2015 AMATEUR DRAFT
Post is here: Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Rebuilding The Raiders: The First FOF7 Dynasty Thread

Rnd 1 - Harry Snyder, CB, Virginia--34/66--Maxed at 66/66. Played with Oakland for 8 seasons then finished career in Cleveland.
Rnd 2 - Grayson Amey, WR, Vanderbilt--19/22--4 blue combines. I hope guys like this can grow significantly in FOF7. Workout warrior, I guess. Maxed out at 24/30. Only played 7 games before retiring.
Rnd 3 - Zion Matthews, OLB, Vanderbilt--10/25--Drafted as ILB, moved to WLB. Has 3-4 WLB skillz, it appears. Backup for one season and then cut and never picked up with another team.
Rnd 4 - Nicolas Woolley, DE, Miami, Ohio--15/29--Played out all four seasons of his rookie contract with OAK. Started 8 games his fourth season. Became a FA and was never signed again. Maxed at 34/34.
Rnd 5 - Scott Bookas, S, Colorado State--13/27. Took a ratings dive in preseason of his rookie year. Never played a regular season game.
Rnd 6 - Ralph Gallo, C, Northwestern St., La.--13/37. Maxed out at 20/22. Bounced around the league as a backup until 2019, when KC released him in Regular Season Week 1, never to play again.
Rnd 7 - Fred Fries, RB, Alabama St.--14/23. Didn't make the team in 2015. Never played a regular season snap.


Well THAT was an underwhelming draft.

That's a fine season for a TE, wow.

It's drafts like these that make FOF7 a much better game than FOF2007.

The 2nd round WR more than likely would of been a great WR with 4 blue combines in the previous version.

[Ben E Lou]

2025 OFFSEASON BEGIN
LCB D.J. Hayden and SILB Miles Burris, both starters, retire.
No staff changes
No franchise tag
We head to FA1:1 with 37 players under contract and $16.6M over the cap.

STARTERS CUT
G Frankie Hudson--Major ratings drop and major performance drop.
SE Kenny Woods--Not actually a "starter," but I wanted to list him here for my own info if I read back through and try to figure out what happened to the guy I signed in 2024 FA to start at WR: he basically sat the bench for a year and then got cut. GOOD SIGNING, BEN!

ROSTER HOLES/STARTER NEEDS
WR2
C
OG
DE
SILB
CB
LS

We're unquestionably going to go into this season with some sub-par guys in place at some of these slots. We have around $10M in cap room to spend in FA to help, and there's not much talent available. Here are our signings:

LDE Bo Castillo (48/48,yr7)--cohesion re-signing
SILB Roman Gray (43/43,yr7)--Pretty decent in run defense and zone.
LS Warren Evans (21/21,yr6)--He is rated 97 in long snapping and has been with us since his rookie season.
SE Maurice Sowers (42/42,yr6)--Cohesion re-signing. Former 7th round draft pick who has been a steady creeper. He might be the full-time WR2 this year.
RCB Ray Wynn (44/44,yr5)--Nothing special, but probably good enough to step in and start.

We head to the draft in need of help on the o-line pretty badly. Rookies could easily start at C and G, and our RT is 46/46 and in year 13.

[Ben E Lou]

2025 AMATEUR DRAFT RESULTS
1(29)--LG Connor Marshall (30/52)--This looked like a weak draft overall. Center, our other position of big need, was completely bereft of any obvious talent. Marshall was the best guard in the class.
2(29)--C Corbin Marshall (15/52)--I had this guy as the best center in the draft. *shurg*
3(29)--QB Wes Welch (12/29)--Terrible bars but very solid (5 blue) combines. We're going to need a QB soon, so it seemed like this guy was worth a shot here.
4(29)--RT Jessie Bullock (13/35)--Solid run blocker perhaps.
5(29)--SE Larry Starks (19/31)--Blues in dash, strength, and agility.
6(29)--RB Justin Blake (16/25)--Looks like he could become a solid RB2 option.
7(29)--TE Bruce Kayer (13/29)--Could be decent at run blocking and ST--a nice combo for a TE2.
