How much weight do I put in projected picks?

OL goes early, OLB's and safeties too. Ruckus Cage the basketball playing TE went almost a full round early in one of my sims. I know this because I traded to 3.1 to get him and be saft (He was rated 3.31) and he went with the last pick in round two IIRC.

You do realize that is not because they are necessarily undervalued, but that there is a larger supply of them right? WR CB and DTs and RBs often are gems in the late rounds because there are so many of them where the other positions do not transfer as well from College to Pro.

simple rule. watch the positions. if its cpu against you, make sure you take the guy you want at the positions they target early every darn time. hint: its not corner.

if its vs humans, my strategy is to trade up whenever there is a "cpu" team and just get my guy, I know the league is full of sharks, there will be a good 10 others who know just like I do that there is a 6th rd safety with star development who will go in rd 1 to the first of those people who needs a safety the most.

I have a draft coming up as the colts after our first year(pre vonte davis ) its the dunson draft class. its not the best class for my team needs. I may take a 7th rd safety projected who has star development, even thought I have bethea, because hes just that good. but to do so, ill be using my 1st rd pick, otherwise, someone else would take the guy before my rd 2 pick, online, people do their homework
