Re: What are you going to do with your team?

The same thing I do every year--my "dream draft" franchise, where I move around the Redskins actual draft picks and give myself guys I would have taken that were actually available. I actually kept a few of the real picks this year.

Round 1: N/A traded in Griffin deal the year prior.

Round 2:

Was- David Amerson CB

Now- David Amerson CB. Loved this high upside pick.

Round 3:

Was- Jordan Reed TE

Now- Chris Harper WR. Really liked the Reed pick, and the real draft showed that Harper is a reach here, but this is where I would have taken him. Love Harper as an outside WR prospect and I see the need for a WR as greater than the need for a developmental TE, which I'll address later. Harper is a monster in tight coverage.

Round 4:

Was- Phillip Thomas S

Now- Phillip Thomas S. Loved this pick, and was hoping he'd keep falling to us here.

Round 5:

Was- Chris Thompson RB

Now- Luke Willson TE. Great developmental talent at TE, athletic freak. Could do big things. Sleeper pick here. He'll be ready to take over for Fred Davis when I let him go in FA next offseason. I like Thompson in real life, but have my eye on another late-round RB later.

Round 5:

Was- Brandon Jenkins OLB/Passrusher

Now- Latavius Murray RB. Actually kind of an over-hyped prospect at this point, but he's a size/speed freak with great hands, exactly what I need as a change of pace to Morris. It doesn't matter in Madden that he runs too upright and isn't a natural RB. Jenkins should rotate in and be a force eventually in real life, but I'm very comfortable with my OLB starters and passrushing depth right now and don't see enough of a role for him in Madden.

Round 6:

Was- Bacarri Rambo S

Now- Baccari Rambo S. Loved this pick as well. Character risk, but great value in the 6th and finishes up the secondary if he fulfills his potential.

Round 7:

Was- Jawan Jamison RB

Now- Marquess Wilson WR. Don't need another RB, and I really like Wilson as a redzone target and developmental outside guy. I'd feel really comfortable with my WR corps moving forward with Harper and Wilson progressing, especially since Garçon hasn't proven to be fully healthy.

Undrafted rookie FA's:

T.J. Moe WR. Went to the Pats in real life, on IR now after an injury. But he'll be my future slot receiver once Moss hangs 'em up. Maybe sooner. He's physically a Welker clone. Not fast, but a Combine leader in tons of agility/explosion tests and has great hands.

Tyler Bray QB. Enormous arm, tiny brain. Will develop him as the long-term backup to RG3 once I trade Cousins, eventually. There will be a market.

Robbie Rouse RB. Just like the little guy. He's thick, stocky, and quick. Might make it as 3rd string if Helu can't get healthy.

Brad Wing P. Monster leg. Our P is aproximately 87 years old, so we'll see if the young cannon leg can beat him out.

Lawrence Okoye DL. Pure athletic freak, developmental depth.

That about wraps it up for now lol. I love this alternate draft stuff.
