Miami:

1:9
LB Frank Watson -5/-1
Took a slight dip in futures. His tackling is full @ 87. I like my LB's to be fast and able to tackle for the most part. So I'm ok with this. He'll be starting.

2:8
DE George Roberts 0/0
He's gonna be a project and not sure he's gonna cut it. Will use him as a backup and on special teams. This team is stripped down atm so he may get some playing time to see if he can out play his attributes.

3:10
S Charles Waters +5/+5
He got a good boost, is pretty fast, tackles well and plays great zone coverage. He's got saftey written all over him. If pre-season goes well he should end up starting.

4:9
CB Derrick Roberts -5/-5
Did not have a good camp. He has ok speed but not too much else. Special teams player to start out. He may have trouble years down the road remaining on the team as the roster gradually gets better. Maybe he can hang on with special teams we'll see.

5:8
C Thomas Williams +3/+3
He has good talent with 74 speed 74 accel and 86 strength but his skills will hold him back. He has nice run blocking skills @ 79/100 but his pass block skills are at high school level 35/38. For the preseason he'll backup starter James Woolfolk who happens to be the only good O-lineman on the team. Much work to be done over the next few seasons for sure.

6:10
WR Samuel Sharma +2/+2
Most likely a kick returner with his talent set. 88 speed - 83 accel - 75 strength. He has slight ball carrying skills 67/69 but looks like he will be a fumbler and can't catch or run routes. With 77 kick catching skills he has kick returner written all over him but will see some time in the backfield during pre-season.........just to see.

Overall a disappointing draft with the high draft picks i had. I feel like i muffed it up this season with exception of LB Frank Watson in the first round. The rest feel like projects. We'll see how they actually play and where they fit in as the season goes on.

Enjoy & comment what you think!!!

Actually projecting Atlanta NOT to win?! Good luck with that, we all know the bulls eye is on that back, but will anyone actually hit it?

Their starting QB retired and their top RB was traded who was on the roster for all 7 Titles.

Atlanta will still win alot and make the postseason but a lesser QB and lose of the RB along with an aging roster should and let me emphasis "SHOULD" be enough for someone, anyone to finally beat them in the postseason!

Anyway, that's why I made that prediction

Hope that you picking my team to win doesn't curse us to a terrible season. If it does, I blame you :)

Yes!!!! I have the power to alter the future with my words!!!

So let's see......I won't win the Mega Millions this week!!!

2048 Draft Class

A quick post training camp rundown of who boomed, who busted and who got cut already.

My booms & busts will probably differ from your own values and that's because booms & busts are directly related to your own custom player weights. My player weights are very different then most and for anyone using default player weights.....may God have mercy on your soul!

I'm not saying my player weights are perfect or even better then anyone else's but they are customized for my own personal style and probably wouldn't work well for others.

The ability to change player weights is actually one of the best aspects of this sim...we tend to point out all the giant flaws but this is one part of the game which just works very well.

INJURY REPORT (Preseason week 1)

Roster management, game planning and management of the salary cap are all aspects which owners can directly control but injuries are a major factor out of every owners control.

Most Probably injuries will be healthy by week 1 so the injury report only focuses on Probably 5 or worse injury designations.

INJURY REPORT (Preseason week 2)

Once again, I only listed serious injuries of P5 or worse since P4 or less should be healthy enough to play by game 1 or game 2.

While injuries are out of each owners control, you can limit a players exposure to being injured in the preseason by playing the entire 60 on the roster and lowering fatigue settings so starters aren't reaching high snap counts.

I don't like the one injury, for sure, because I took time out to craft how to use him and the removal takes fun away.

I'll hit the scouting, be determined and handle it.

1 game down, 1 to go + a new season breathing down my neck.
