Let's talk about moves you'll make for your team in franchise mode.

First year, I'll stick with the default roster for my Niners. I may switch to the West Coast playbook though.

Second year, I'll need to upgrade the CBs. May look for a faster RB if Coffee/Dixon don't cut it as Gore's backup. May need to draft a new QB if Smith/Davis don't progress.

[Fresh Prince]

Dolphins: Need FS, TE, and pass rusher.

Will probably trade for Jerry Hughes and draft RB/FS/TE in 2011.

I'll try to trade for Bethea but I'm sure it'll cost too much.

I'm gonna do what the Seahawks should've done and get a QB. Maybe Campbell, or give up a couple draft pics for rivers , and then release Leroy Hill for being a woman beater

[adembroski]

In a perfect world where the rosters matched real world potentials, I'd resign Franklin to a long term contract and start looking for youth in the defensive backfield and a left end who can hold up at the point of attack.

Since the rosters wont account for the fact that Alex Smith should be an 85+ by the end of this season and Josh Morgan is a hell of a lot better than the high 70s, I'll have to think about a starting QB and #2 WR as well.

For the 'Skins I'll be looking for a good #1 receiver and I'll trade Moss to do so. I've got a nice tandem there and my QB is excellent. At the next off-season, though, I'll get rid of a lot of the **** linebackers and get some real ones so that I've got depth and flexibility (its a well known fact that outside linebackers are typically very good at safety positions and the defensive line and I like to have that kind of flexibility with my players. Geno Hayes at Strong Safety! Yeah!).

For the Rams I'll be looking to trade for a speed halfback and blocking tight ends. In my current Rams franchise I'm running a smash and dash with Jackson and Norwood, but next year I'd be looking for my dash to be younger. It's possible that I won't use the Rams next year, though, because I like to use teams that have a quarterback crisis. Browns, maybe? Bills?

How do you figure that?

[Buckeye]

For the Browns I may start McCoy right away and trade James Davis

[Da Amba Lamps]

By crisis do you mean that you have nothing to work with in buffalo?

I'm also going to run concurrent franchises with the bills, one with imported draft classes and one with maddens, in maddens I hope to land javon jackson in the jack english draft. Did they put those headcoach 09 guys back in?
