I just started another career with the cheifs. Im entering my 1st draft.(Ozzie Jones draft) Im using the steelers smash mouth offensive system, and the Patriots pass rush "D"
Ive a few trades up to this point. I traded Tony Gonzalez and gotten a 2nd rd this year, and a 1st rd the next. Ive also made other minor trades, like Tomba Hali, Jamaal Charles( Which the Panthers gave me a future 3rd, and 6th, which i didnt expect a 3rd rd pick for a RB who is rated 66, with 77 potential in my scheme. I took it.) I traded Glenn Dorsey on draft day, to help solidify other needs, and I traded backup LB's for late rd pics. Why i traded Dorsey, he really didnt fit it with what I like to do. A bit undersized for my system. and his potential was a 88 i think....
And mind you the cheifs dont have that great of talent. Im not expecting that much of successful season. But I have set into my mind that im going to draft QB Joe Kain(Big Ben Roethelesberger). So through out the off-season i dont make to much of an attempt to get a QB, or trade for one. I keep Damon Huard, and thats about it. When I look at the mock draft, Joe Kain is slated around my pick, #11. They had him go 9th. So theres still a chance that im going to land my franchise QB.
Im happy at this point, i get my QB. So I handle freeagency they way I wanted to. Not to many signing, just signings that are smart, and that wont hurt my cap. Im doing good. I have 40 million dollars of cap space going into the draft. EXCELLENT!!!
I do my scouting the way I do, which i do a amazing job, and save the game when it says draft day 1.
Normally I like to play around with the draft and see what situations happen with the first 12 or so picks. But i skipped that this time. I was just excited to know that my franchise QB will be there, and I will be of to a good start. At this point I head in. I have pick 11, the dolphins have 1st overall, and the Bears have 2nd overall. I use Pick-the-Pick feature for the whole draft, to make sure that the player i want isnt in the first 10 names, if they are, i have to trade up to get em. Thats how the draft in this game works. So i pick the pick with the dolphins, they dont take my QB. I pick the pick with the Bears, and they have "My QB" at #1, rated 96. Im hoping they wont pick him, yeah right, like there going to do what i say. They take my QB.
I quit, and reload, and try again...SAME RESULT...DAM!!!
I quit and reload again, I try to trade up with the Dolphins, they dont want to trade at all, so i add players to the trading block. I added Larry Johnson, LT Brandon Albert, Damon Huards, Dewayne Bowe, Derrick Johnson...lets just say alot of players...
I try to trade up again, and the Phins aint having it...DAM!!!!
I try to trade up to take the bears pick(2nd overall), and they dont want anything to do with me. At this point im thinking that I have to move on without my franchise QB...BUT WAIT I SAY......!!!
I quit and reload, and I aquire Drew Brees for Glenn Dorsey(he was officially traded during the draft) a future 3rd rd and a future 4th rd i think) not a bad deal. So im thinking I can trade Brees to the bears now...and get my QB. that didnt work, they still drafted Kain, then I try it again, and but brees on the block. I try to trade up with Miami, failed!!!Bears...failed!!! So i quit reload, and adjust my draft board that i have hand written.
Now, i need a RG, my love for Kain is over, there is no way im getting him. There is a RG named Scott Burke, really talented, and potential of 95. I need a ROLB, and a LE bad....I think to myself, I can always get a RG in later rounds, I cant always find a great 3-4 LE. And the LE I wanted is Domi Somanu...95 potential. its dam near impossible to find 3-4 ends in this game, at least to my experience and knowledge. Also i need a pass rushing OLB, so i decide that Mister Wright with 93 potential is better. So I have to get my LE, and ROLB now. The RG, i can try to address later.
I have pick 11, i drade down to the Pats, and they give me there future 1st, and 2nd, with a 3rd this year. I jump at it. But wait i have no 1st rd pick now.(I have 3 for the following year) I trade up to 19 and grab Mister Wright(AHHHH, mission accomplished, i only gave up the pats future 1st, a 4th and Brode Croyle. Works for me.) then at 20 i trade up, and this is where i trade Glenn Dorsey, with a future 5th, and 4th. I take LE Domi Somanu. YESSSSSS!!!!!!!. I didnt even give up that much, and i still have plenty picks to spare. I go ahead and see the RG Scott Burke get taken 30th overall. Im not sweatin it, I later in the 2nd rd draft MLB Freddie Bates...anyway I had a great draft, and addressed alot of needs
I guess what Im trying to point out is the trouble i had trying to get my QB. And there was no way around it. I have to settle with Huard for now. But at least i was able to upgrade my LE spot, and my ROLB(pass rusher LB). Two positions hard to find as it is.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT DRAFT TROUBLE YOU HAVE HAD...ANY AND ALL..I HAVE ALOT MORE TO SHARE, BUT THIS ONE IS MORE RECENT, AND FRUSTRATING. I APOLOGIZE FOR WRITING SO MUCH....TRUELY....
