I don't like the idea of drafting Bradford (or Dez Bryant) that high when they barely played at all last year. I'm just saying in the mock drafts I've seen they all have Bradford going to the Redskins, before Clausen is drafted.

And good post on Suh! Figures there's only 2 teams that could possibly end up with him. Who are you thinking of next?

Great idea! Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Eric Berry, Taylor Mays, or CJ Spiller would all be fun to do. Toby Gerhart is a personal favorite I would like to see, even if he is projected til the 3rd round.

I want to do players that are expected to go to only a handful of teams right now--Clausen, for example, to STL, WAS, or BUF. With Tebow, I'll have to sim him as QB with different teams, then as a FB, and then as a TE, haha. As for Clausen's ratings, he was 78OVR, a point higher than Sanchez in the last update. Clausen is considered to be the number one quarterback in the draft. I figure that the top few draft picks can come close to, if not crack the 80OVR threshold for their rookie year. I can go back and look up his individual ratings if you'd like.

I'd be more interested in what his ratings were in your NCAA roster

Whoa, after way too long I'm going to be picking this back up with reworked players. I would have kept this up, but my copy of Madden got messed up so I switched to play NHL 10 now. A new copy in hand, and I will start with Sam Bradford and follow his first year journey with the Rams, as he will be the first overall pick. Beyond that, I will update Ndamukong Suh (as it's looking more likely that he won't get taken by the Lions), Jimmy Clausen (again, unlikely to be taken by the Redskins), and I will work on getting new ones up soon for new players' First Year Impact.
