Also, check out greg ellis' body type, and mold him sort of after that. He wears a visor to protect his surgically repaired eye. And has no tatoos to my knowledge. He is right handed. Once I created Canty, I then moved Carson to DT, and released Blade at DT. But be sure to do it in that order, or you will have trouble doing so. Again, I'm not expert, but I took a look at 7 or 8 guys around Canty's drafted location, and just started averaging ratings out and looking at DT's and DE's and came up with these, I looked at 40 times as well for DE's and then looked at peoples speed and acceleration ratings and came up with all this. I think its a pretty good replica.

Hey Samantha

how did you change Carson's position from DE to DT?? I didn't know we could change player positions like that....

[Samantha]

Well you can only change his position after you create Canty. You have to have the minimum requirements first besides the player you want to change. So after creating Canty, you can then change Carson to DT. What I did next is take Blade and make him a LT, so that I could then make Rogers a RT, which then I could move Vollers to LT. Then you can change Blade back DT and then release him.

= Overall of 75
Which is were most other 4th Round DE's are and considering he was a solid 1st round prospect, I don't think this gives his ability any justice, but EA will grade him as a 4th rounder so I did too.

As far as the appearance, I know he may look small / skinny but if you watch the draft video from Yahoo Sports you will notice he is skinny for his size but has horse like legs.

Most of the low round OT are in the 65 - 67 range so I put him in the middle. His scouting reports always talk about him being strong but not athelitic. Based these ratings off the Madden 2005 imported draft class. He was rated a 77 but I toned it down according to what the differencial from 5 other OT's in the draft that are already in the Madden 06. Too complicated to explain.

The appearance looks good to me but if you think of a way to improve apperence, feel free to post your corrections.

Ratliff's a guy who is not fast enough for a 4-3 DE and not strong enough for a 4-3 DT. Is somewhat a project considering he was a TE then DE then DT his senior season. Complys with the EA round ratings for DE's, or I would assume with no 7th rounders being in the game period.

I couldn't fit Jay Ratliff on my roster...of course, I created Kalen Thornton and Bruce Thornton.
I had 7 DL and in a 3-4 I was happy with that. I didn't create Pettiti either, but I doubt Tucker makes the team, and then Petitti will be the 4th tackle....but I don't like creating tons of guys. I think I created Canty, Thornton x2, and Rashaun Woods. EA did a good enough job on the rest.
