Check. Mebbe a 7th instead. I did not understand your format.

I offer more if I override a trade, the IRL one was a 7th that moves to a 6th based off playtime I think. He's coming off injury so I felt a flat 6th would be a winning bid. I feel he's a similar caliber player as Steven Nelson, but more upside and younger. My Washington draftees are still my primary options, but McDuffie and Mullens on boundaries and Gordon in the nickel seems appealing (McDuffie and Gordon on boundaries and Desmond King in Nickel otherwise; Steven Nelson had lost my "camp battle" for the number two job with all the positive reports on Gordon minus minor injury). The other two I'm waiver claiming to adopt their contracts minus the guarantees, but I drafted right after the Panthers I think so I might lose out if Jaguars/Lions/Texans/Jets/Giants/Panthers bid. I don't remember if I picked one before or after Bears since I had their pick too from trading down the year before. The other two are guys I had as draftable so adopting their contracts with multiple year seemed smart. I like that Harris can emergency TE for me and WR6, with Kolar having an injury atm a temporary TE3 was somewhat important. Original plan was for Zach Tom to eventual be at center or at least the reserve center, but it looks like he might start at RG for me if James Daniels struggles. I think Daniels can clean it up, but preseason wasn't a good look for him while Tom did exceptional. Tom also starts at RT if La'el Collins misses time, so Alex Linstrom at backup C opens up more spots for Tom to be at. I like Quessenberry though and if I don't land Lindstrom no problem keeping him, just 3 cheap years and no investment on a guy I had as draftable looks good.

With that listed out I check out Tankathon. Picking top 2 are Houston and Chicago and my team outclasses those, in my opinion. Checking in at 3&4 are the Broncos and Rams and they are talented teams that have dealt with terrible luck and injuries. My team has missed time with Tua, Javonte, Crowder, Darrisaw, Cushenberry, Barrett, Owusu-Koramoah, McDuffie, Gordon and Mullen I think this range is where it could be argued that my team is talented -- but we're unfortunately top 5ing it due to injuries at the moment. On the other hand, they haven't all been extremely long term misses, and Jamaal Williams paired with Eno Benjamin performed well when Javonte went down for example, or Josh Jones performing well when Darrisaw got concussed. I think the argument to advance further exists. The next tier is frequently devoid of quarterback play, and when healthy Tua has been very good. This is the Carolina, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Atlanta range, and if my team is arguing against those I look to Tua and say the Renegades are likely a better team. Vegas looks interesting as a comp, so I'll pause there for a moment:

QB: Tua Tagovailoa v. Derek Carr
RB: Javonte/Jamaal v. Josh Jacobs
WR: Amari/Corey/DPJ v. Adams/Hollins/Renfrow(inj)
TE: mine are rookies v. there's is hurt the entire year more or less
OL: Darrisaw/Risner/Cushenberry or Tom/Daniels/Collins v. Miller/Parham/James/Bars/Eluemunor

DE: Nick Bosa v. Maxx Crosby
DT: Alim/Travis/Allen v. Billings/Nichols
DE: Omenihu/Epenesa/Yetur v. Jones/Ferrell/Koonce

LB: JOK/Barrett/Nakobe/Wilson v. Deablo/Perryman/Masterson/Brown

CB: McDuffie/King/Gordon/Mullen/Green/Graham v. Ya Sin/ Hobbs/Hall/Webb/Amik/Jones

S: Hamilton/Johnson/Elliott v. Moehrig/Teamer/Harmon

I think this is pretty fair atm, and both coaches aren't doing  so hot either. That would approximate my current pick around 10-15. I think although disappointing to not really be in the playoff race, this team would be exciting to watch. A lot of players are really showing out this year and arguments for being in a playoff race exist like Jamaal Williams scoring so many TDs is a point in the Renegades favor. Things like that and Tua's efficiency and win% maybe tips close games in favor, or Nick Bosa's influence on such a dominating D in SF. My fandom of my team keeps thinking it's doing very well, but looking at other factors I sometimes think maybe it isn't the year (ie. Tua concussions and other injuries). Top few at LT, QB and EDGE is a great trio to have under contract though, it's just a shame there is such a concussion outbreak. I don't know if anyone reads these longer posts, but if you do and have input on where roughly you'd think this team is currently standing I'd like to read it. I might do a fake schedule next year and then each week do I think we win or lose to make it a bit easier to see end of year. Like right now if I had an easy schedule at some points and rougher at others I could see my team being in the hunt -- something like Jets/Giants doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all, but I don't know if that's me just liking my team and having bias.

My fandom of my team keeps thinking it's doing very well, but looking at other factors I sometimes think maybe it isn't the year (ie. Tua concussions and other injuries). Top few at LT, QB and EDGE is a great trio to have under contract though, it's just a shame there is such a concussion outbreak. I don't know if anyone reads these longer posts, but if you do and have input on where roughly you'd think this team is currently standing I'd like to read it. I might do a fake schedule next year and then each week do I think we win or lose to make it a bit easier to see end of year. Like right now if I had an easy schedule at some points and rougher at others I could see my team being in the hunt -- something like Jets/Giants doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all, but I don't know if that's me just liking my team and having bias. 

@Trojan to me your team feels like a  7-10 or 8-9 team who were just eliminated from playoff contention in W17.

 

For me the easiest comparison is miami as you can compare weapons & Oline etc for Tua. With a a win today they'll finish the season 9-8.

 

 

Back up QB: Advantage Miami for the games Tua missed.

RB: Slight Advantage Miami after the J Williams injury.

WR: Advantage Miami, Miami has the top 2 WR's (In my opinion) while you have WR's 3, 4, 5.

TE: Advantage Miami

OL: Im not to familiar with how the Miami OL played to comment either way.

 

DEFENCE:

Probably Advantage Miami. Bosa is a beast, but besides him i think miami brings more pass rush as a team & their secondary is stronger overall.

COACHING:

I like McDaniels overall, and that played a role in judging the offences, especially the RB's. Im a fan of the Williams pairing on your team and would have given you the advantage pre J Williams injury but McDanials scheme just churns out yardage.

What coaches are involved in your O again (Im on my phone & its a pain to go back a page while typing).? 

 

My biggest question/thought is how much do you think Tyreke & McDaniels scheme have impacted Tua's development and do you think he would have developed the same on your team.?

The more I think about it the more I think the Renegades may actually be a playoff team, but I don't know if that's just me being a fan of my guys. Tua missed time, yes, but Howell impressed in his lone start against a good Dallas defense. Javonte missed most of the year, but Jamaal broke Barry Sanders Lions TD record. My offensive line is legitimately good imo. Darrisaw, Risner, Tom, Daniels, Jones is probably how it shakes out after injuries, and that is still likely a top 10ish contending line. My tight ends were all young and starved of snaps, but when Mitchell and Kolar did get snaps they were pretty decent -- with an all mid/late round rookie TE group obviously the offense wouldn't be designed around them as a focal point anyways.

Defensively, some things were unfortunate, but unlike other years you shuffle this group around with some depth and it looks pretty great.

Omenihu Alim Jones/Allen Bosa -- that's the 49ers line with different tackles (Allen did well too and rotates as a base end sometimes) and Arik Armstead though a star had a down year. I have Epenesa to rotate Omenihu where SF has Ebukam.

If injuries had Hamilton as a LB, and irl he played a third safety box role for the Ravens, I can list Hamilton / Dean / JOK as LB group

If John Johnson struggled as he did for the Browns, and Hamilton was a LB here... I still have Deshon Elliott and UDFA Reed Blankenship who has been starting and playing well for the Eagles.

McDuffie and King are passable corners and with Bosa's pressure they may do better and Kyler sometimes flashed and this is a better situation. AJ Green and Thomas Graham are Browns CB depth and their coordinator was a moron, but at least I have 5 rosterable DBs and two soli starter quality.

I think my team is better than the Dolphins with the exception of coaching and WR. Cooper and DPJ is the Browns group, and Shakir was a good player for the Bills and Davis was passable when healthy so the depth is much greater than Clevelands.

I think next year I will create a schedule before the season to play out to help decide. I think I'm somewhere between 7 and 10 wins. I am going to run my coaching staff mostly back, but let Marcus Brady go for Thomas Brown from the Rams and retain Aaron Glenn from interim HC to HC. As a result I will also shuffle some assistants around to make space for a new QB coach as that was Brady's specialty. With Brown being from an RB background, I will like Kennedy Polamalu move on to the Raiders and move our TE coach Embree to RB. This let's Brown form his own run game identity a bit more as Polamalu is a force himself. I am slotting myself in an AFC wildcard spot, and then one and done-ing as Tua's missed game would have Howell in the playoffs and eventhough he showed out in week 18, that's a big stage. I think the team would play hard for Glenn, and he gets to remain with the team in his old role. We will pick around the Seahawks natural selection.

We will pick around the Seahawks natural selection.

Looking back, i think i was a bit too harsh when evaluating your team (I did the same with my own but have since re-evaluated &  updated).

Id put your team above the Giants & Seahawks in terms of of making the playoffs.

An 9-8 record and making the post season as a 6 or 7 seed seems more suited & reflective to your team.
