Call it the modern/classic hybrid approach. With full editing now, it hit me it might be pretty damn fun to hybridize classic rosters into your CFM.

Just off the top of my head, say the first five picks of the draft (or maybe just the first three, or the top ten, whatever you want obviously) those teams get the rookie version of an all-time player.

So like the 49ers get the top pick, instead of giving them Deshaun Watson or Leonard Forenette or whoever, give them Joe Montana or Jerry Rice instead. Bears pick third? Give them Dick Butkus or Brian Urlacher, hell Walter Payton, even Jim McMahon, whoever. Jets? Time for Joe Namath to make a return.

Alternatively, screw the team-affiliation thing and just put all-timers anywhere. Bo Jackson to the Chiefs, Terry Bradshaw a mid-round pick to the Raiders in 2019, Dan Marino the #1 pick to the Saints in 2020. So on and so forth.

Dig it?

So anyway, I figured to give this thread some legs, if you create an all-time great, post his ratings here, then people can use the template should they choose to follow suit in whatever capacity.

Cheers.
