Who to Rebuild?

[Shibito]

So, I'm re-rating my rosters a bit, and I'm trying to figure out who I'd like to rebuild. I've re-rated many, many players down lower, mainly to attempt and make the 'Star' players stand out more.

Here's who I'm thinking of possibly doing:
Lions - only 12 players 80 overall or better. Secondary is TERRIBLE, only Delmas and Houston are decent players there. Great D-Line that can make pressure with Avril and Suh. Great Young QB with a cannon. Mediocre receiving corps behind Megatron. Terrible O-Line, but a good young OT in Reiff.

Bears - Another terrible O-Line. Aging key defensive players. Streaky QB. Great RB corps. Average Receiver corps. Average safeties.

Bills - Needs a QB. Great RB duo. Average receiver corps. Decent O-Line. Decent D-Line. Weak LB corps. Lack of playmakers on defense.

Broncos - HoF rental at QB. Aging RB. Good top 2 receivers. Good O-Line. Mediocre safeties.

Cardinals - QB? Mediocre RB's. Decent receivers. Mediocre TE's. Bad O-Line. Good DE's. Great young MLB. Peterson as the #1 corner.

Jets - ? At QB. Average RB corps. Mediocre receiving corps. Good O-Line. Playmakers on defense, but lack of depth.


What do you guys think?

I used Arizona in a league and they were fun to rebuild. They have some standout young guys and Fitz is a great #1 WR to have. You need to draft a QB and deal with the Kolb contract. Even if you cut him there is enough room to absorb the hit. D Washington is a beast and PP is a shutdown corner. Pieces are there and you can get better through the draft and FA

Re: Who to Rebuild?

Yer teams, in the order of my interest of rebuilding them:
Detroit- Fun team to play with, never won a Super Bowl.

Buffalo- Not as fun as the Lions, but never won a SB.

NY Jets- Haven't won a SB since the 1960's, I'd be interested in seein'
if i could win a championship with Tebow as a starter. My first order of business would be dumpin' Rex ASAP.

Chicago- A favorite team of mine as teenager, though I don't root for'em any longer.

Cardinals- Though they have never one a SB, they just don't hold any appeal for me, outside of their fantastic stadium.

Broncos- This franchise has had so much success in past years, it'd be about as much fun as rebuilding the Yankees lol

Re: Who to Rebuild?

Detroit would be too easy. There are too many speedy CB in the draft so the secondary would not take long to overhaul at all. Same can be said about WR and rebuilding corps behind Johnson.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

IMO, the Cardinals and the Jets are the most fun team to re-build.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

IMO the Rams are the team to rebuild with. Good young players with plenty of holes that need to be filled, but two first round picks in the 2013 and 14 draft.

Mid-season two with Jets.
Doing a complete rebuild.

Simmed the first season.

Dumped Ryan.
Traded Sanchez, Tebow, Holmes, Greene, & Scott.
I ended up adding 3 #2 picks and a second third.
It cost me those players and a 7.

Then I traded my second highest #2 and my #6 to the Bears for their 2013 number 1.

Ended up with a 1, three 2's, two 3's, 4, and 5 in first draft.
It was a great start to the rebuild.

Unfortunately with the trades came massive cap hits my second season. 36 million in dead money. I couldn't resign anyone other then Keller. Ended up filling my roster with UDFA rookies and am currently getting my butt handed to me.

The great news is the Bears are having a terrible season and right now that 2013 #1 is the number 1 pick in the draft to go along with my #8.

I'll look to trade down with one of those picks trying to add a late first and a '14 first, then draft BPA.

I have 43 million in cap space, but probably won't be a spender in FA.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

out of the above teams i would choose buffalo. nice rbs and a #1 wr. could be fun to play in that division also. i remember at beginning of year whrn the redskins were on this list. 1 robert griffin later and i guess they are rebuilt. lol

Re: Who to Rebuild?

The Colts are also a fun team to rebuild, since they don't have much other than Luck.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

Some of you guys have some incredibly unrealistic trades and rebuilds. If I am going to rebuild a team it has to be realistic. That's just me.

IMO the Rams are the team to rebuild with. Good young players with plenty of holes that need to be filled, but two first round picks in the 2013 and 14 draft.

I can second this. I just finished my first season with St. Louis (9-7, lost in wild card round to Saints) and all the young players totally anchor my team.

On offense Brian Quick was easily the best rookie wide receiver of the year (900+ yards, 11 TD's). Bradford started out slow but finished the season strong with a 6-2 back end record. Steven Jackson was the typical workhorse he always is.

The defensive line was totally stout to say the least. Chris Long had 18 sacks on the year (and I switched him and Robert Quinn as LE for different formations, the dude was a beast on both sides.) Michael Brockers had a great season and had the second most sacks with 6. James Laurinaitis was literally all over the field. The secondary was weak, Mikell was injured for half the season and Finnegan underperformed greatly and I plan on trading him this offseason. Janoris Jenkins was a total ballhawk and good on coverage, and was the only bright spot on the whole secondary.

In the draft I plan on getting an outside linebacker in the first round because it was a revolving door with injuries all year. Overall this is probably my favorite CCM so far.

I dunno know but it seems like finnegan always underperforms...

Re: Who to Rebuild?

Jacksonville, Kansas City, St. Louis, Buffalo, Oakland and the New York Jets would be the best choices.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

I totally destroyed the Jets and traded most of their talent. In 3 years I have hopes that my team will consist of Xavier Waters, Aarin Carrol, Tyrecous Lee, and Stacey Knight. I'm currently 0-7 in year 1.

Re: Who to Rebuild?

The Jaguars are a fun team to rebuild. If you don't like the fact that they have a star running back in MJD. You can always trade him for a couple draft picks. They have a QB issue with Henne and Gabbert, young receivers who can be easily improved. And they have a below-average defense that will make you want to pull your hair out. Tough team to rebuild, but can be fun as well.
