The Ermines add a rising rookie force to control the strong safety portions of the field. Terrell Edmunds should start for us for the next decade, t'ermine'ating receivers who dare cross the middle.

Love you Boo.

I got my picks in.

You don't.

I've had Maurice Hurst high on my list for several rounds now, and I couldn't resist him any more. Did he slip because of the heart thing, or do others not think he played well this year?

Either way, he's going to become part of a fearsome Ermine rotation in the middle.

You can't. The best you can do is move them to the draft board so you can see them, then remove them and do a quick search to pull them up and draft them.

We probably should fix that.

i dont change my draft board, i just add every player i want to it and then decide who i want. take them off my draft board search their name and then draft them.

Man they are flying off my draft board.

wheeler08 · 03-07-2019, 09:37 AM

I had Hurst on my board for depth.

Perhaps you're the person to ask here.

Does the game take physical attributes into account? For instance, is there a sort of 'Madden' component that bases some of what a player can do on his a quantified rating for particular attributes.

For instance, I like Davis's ability as a taller, springier 'high point' receiver as a complement to a technician like JuJu. And I look at someone like Samuel as a monster in the slot because of his quickness and raw speed. Those 3 WRs would seem to be a perfectly matched set in terms of their respective strengths.

Does the game consider that sort of thing? Or is it just 'player X did Y thing in 2018 and thus that's what he's going to be able to semi-replicate in the sim'. Is there any real value to finding complementary players to plug into certain roles or do you just plug pure numbers in there? And the way you make the attributes work to your advantage is that you hope they translate into statistics over the course of a season.

I mean ultimately the complementary element is particular to the team these guys end up on, not the team they played for in the NFL. So you'd like to see that taken into account.

I'm not sure if it specifically accounts for things like that, but they're baked in. That's a vague answer, but all I know. cdcox is the expert there.

For sure. Unless his heart explodes

I really needed a WR and wasn’t in love with anyone. Took Miller for his youth and 7 TDs. Still got 2 starting spots to fill then it’s all backups
