I forgot to add I'll be locking up Tulloch as well, and potentially Eric Wright. Unfortunately Ricky Williams is with the Ravens and Sanders is with the Chargers now.

The Dolphins D is actually pretty decent for them being so young. They were 8th in passing and 7th in rush defense last year so they dont really need anyone...

Its our offense that screws the defense since i swear the opposing team started on our like 25 yard line every possesion. Give them a few years maybe get a S to compliment Y. Bell but other than that they are pretty good

I usually like to keep things unchanged the first season, but if I do a Franchise with the Bronco's I'll change Tebow to Fullback so he can tear it for the first year (Alstott style, what Hoge wishes he could of done) and put him back to QB when Orton walks.

If my guys develop, I'll be set for multiple years since I'd have a young team. If they don't, I'll have to make changes. Tyson Jackson has one year to prove himself or else he's gone.

I know that I'll be using McClain a lot for power running situations. I'll carry another FB who can block for him if need be.

I'll definitely be using the Chiefs and I'll be looking to get rid of Palko in favor of a QB with either a cannon for an arm or someone who can scramble well. Maybe Josh Johnson.

Fine with my situation at RB.

I'm not sure yet, but I might sign a WR. TO or Moss just because I have always wanted to see them in a Chiefs uni. I think a WR corps of Bowe, Baldwin and Moss/TO would be a lot of fun to use.

After that, I may just find a decent run stopping MLB with Siler going on IR and call it good. Chances are, I'll talk myself out of any big signings...but dreaming of having Moss or TO is a little too fun.

I'm gonna play with the Dolphins.
Franchise Moves I will make
1. Trade for Carson Palmer
2. Spend a early draft pick on a FS (Chris Clemons is bad)
3. Spend a mid-round pick on a G and a MLB
4. Spend a late round pick on a CB and a RB
I think my team will be set after that.

My Washington Redskins bretheren what do you guys plan to do to bring us back to where we were before Dan Snyder made this mess? For me some guys gotta go and I will use the Patriots and Steelers method of stockpiling and building through the draft. The first year or two may not be pretty but give me time lol!!!

Does anyone know if Tiki will make the free agent pool since he was looking for a team? I'm the Patriots normally and wouldn't mind bringing him in to get him a ring.
