Got Jake Scott cheaper but he was Mr. interception 2009. Green is Dependable,Throws Bullets with power and Accuracy if trained well, and can be gotten Cheaply. Foster and Gabbert-DE (Changed Foster to DT and he got better). James-RB of course (He is the Only back i have had success with on the Pitch Plays/Outside Runs and Screens, Right or Left he Explodes for Tough Yradage and had several lengthy Runs.) Holland-SS Juran Riley- CB- Big Hitter, Zone Coverage Monster Goldman-TE - in the 2008 Draft but ends up in Free Agency, Absolute Sleeper. Trained to 89 and 93 Potential. Gets open, and Catches Everything. Blocks well, and Always Healthy and Active. using Baltimore this Career and with English and Green at QB's, James at RB, and the Defense (Traded Ray Lewis after 2008 to Get Rid of his Contract), Average 7 Points Against each Season.

Cool man. Dexter Knox I'm going to check him out

English draft path year two...
ROLB Domisa Bomani !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude is a MONSTER and after you use the special skill Motivator with your HC he is practically a reincarnation of Demarcus Ware.
He also forces more fumbles on average than Patrick Willis from what I have seen... BTW 95 pot. pass rushing olb (92 pot. pre motivator)

I will be going to the 2010 English after this season. Initially I was going for Tarver at ROLB, but now I am thinking of another idea. I could probably pick Foley (MLB) in first round instead of Tarver and then pick Bomani in second round. I have Mack Jackson at MLB and Foley is probably an overkill, but with 3-4 and Gooden frequently missing games because of injury, I can see Foley as a good move, and possibly future trade bait when his contract comes up.

You Would Be Wasting Money On A Huge-Unnecessary Contract With Foley If You Drafted Him In Round#1. He Usually Can be Picked Up In Round#3 Or Lower. Don't Evaluate Him Prior To The Draft And The CPU Won't Assume You Are Interested In Him.
He Is A Special OPayer But Should be Drafter Lower And Then He Will Ask For A Lower Contract With 3 years.

The only reason I was thinking of first round for him is patsforlife's draft showing Foley being picked late first round, something like pick 22. I drafted Mack Jackson in 2009 English at pick 18 or 19 and he wasn't very expensive to sign, so is Foley different?

Should I go with Tarver or is Bomani good enough?

Just to follow up, I drafted Foley at pick #22 and signed him for around 10 million for 5 years.

In the 2011 English Draft, RE from Oregon State must be a sleeper because after one year his learning is 99 and OVL 90. The Collaboration thread shows him at 85 for Learning, so I guess he advances real quick!
