Now that you have seen the 1st round rookie ratings..

Tell me first of all why a team would trade a 1st rounder who hasn't even played a game for them.

I think this is the worst draft with ever had. We needed WR,CB and S, and we pick OL and DL. We could have picked up Rashad Johnson and Donald Washington. But no let them go.

I don't know what the hell Jerry Jones was thinking!

At least he finally picked up a corner and we do still have 6 picks left...Plus we still have that WR from Tech on our practice squad from last year...

People have their own way of enjoying the franchise experience, and I respect that.

However, I agree with the rest of the guys.

I am a Steeler fan, and I run my team just like the Steelers. I never go big in FA. I build through the draft. I resign my own.

I cant stand when people do franchises and trade for a bunch of good players and try to make their team unstoppable. Honestly, where is the fun in that? The point of franchise (IMO at least), is to go through the ups and downs of it all. Its no fun if you build an all Madden team from teh get go.

Hopefully, this Madden is fixed so that ridiculous trades arent possible.

But, say this is your first year as a head coach. You dont get the ability to draft this class. Whats so unrealistic about trading Bey and a 4th for Cushing, or something like that? They had the 7th pick, I don't see whats so unrealistic about just trading straight up for Cushing. If thats the guy I was after, and I could have taken him at 7, then rewriting history a bit isn't the same as trading Brady for a 7th rounder.

100%

It's just as stupid and the same as doing a fantasy draft in my opion, I hate that stuff.

I often think i will trade for a guy but then i see guys on another team and don't like them. I might get Michael Johnson for the eagles. I always have patrick willis on my team, so i dont care from day one. I'll trade bradley to the 49ers and take him

Right...because the Niners want to trade their cornerstone of the defense in Willis...
