Ideal first three rounds would be Montell Hearst, Nate Clinton, Brandon Lucas, although I doubt Lucas slides to the third.  I don't think I would risk losing Clinton though.

Yup. And even doubling up on S with Juan Phillps later on for depth would be smart.

It's awesome to see people following talking about the team lol. Happy to have good engagement

Some new things coming for 2025:

  • adding in updated playercards for SuperStars and X Factors at the start of every year. 
  • adding in yearly stats in for passing, rushing, receiving, sacks and int's backdating to year 1 2021 (Falcons only)
  • annual update on top 5 players in the NFL at each position (except FB, K, P) with draft position, team and development
  • Updates on Salary Cap - this I am not sure how I am going to do yet. I try to keep the number inputting at a tolerable level, and putting in all 53 players is just something I am not going to do. I will think of ways to present this

2025 NFL Draft

This should be a fairly quick draft, I think. I might make less than 7 picks and push some more back to next year and hopefully have some more mid round targets next year. 

I am going to sim the first few picks and then go to 21.

The Texans pick 1st (I have their 1st next year). They took QB Earl Jackson... They still have Deshaun who is a 97 OVR....
Panthers take a MLB 2nd who looked really good, but not a need and early 1st so not on my board
Eagles take a WR after signing Ridley and Hopkins back to back years. Just Madden things.

Let's sim to 21.

2025 DRAFT BOARD
PROJ TALENT   NAME AGE HT WT SCHOOL ARCHTYPE COMBINE GRADE PRIORITY?
1L 1M WR MONTELL WHEELER 21 6.04 218 FLORIDA PHYSICAL 7.7

2M 2M MLB ALEX PRITCHETT 22 6.02 225 OLE MISS FIELD GEN 7.2  

This is an absolutely massive board. Wheeler is there, and honestly I expected him not to be. So is Phillips. Phillips ran a 4.87 40 (1st), 34.5" vert (1st), 10.5 baord (3rd), 7.52 3 cone (3rd), 5.00 shuttle (5th), and put up 35 reps (3rd).

But I ain't taking him.

FALCONS PICK 2025 1.21
WR
MONTELL WHEELER

6.04 218 21 AGE
PHY 74 DEEP 73 RR 73

4.46 40, 41.2" vert (1st), 10'10 broad (1st), 6.81 3 cone (9th), 4.05 shuttle (3rd), 23 reps (1st). All at 6'4 218. 

I am very happy with this pick. He is only normal, but I expect him to be a star by the time his rookie year is done, and he could be a superstar within 3 years. Sucks he doesn't start out there, but I really needed a big body WR who is capable of being that bonafide #1. And to get him at 21 in this Madden (or last) is great. I will probably change his number to 17. 

Let's go to my pick in the 2nd.

This board didn't fall well, but it makes my decision really easy.

4L 1M WR CARL BEDELL 22 6.00 198 CLEMSON SLOT 6.7

Keys was on there in case I didn't get one of te 1st rounders, so he can really be removed here. I think Dell is much better value in the 3rd. Keys is also a meh athlete, just stiff as a board. Think DK Metcalf running a 4.6. 

No suspense here, there is really only one option for me.

Darn, was really hoping one of these two guys was going to be hidden. Early 1st talent being a 74 is kinda ***. I was expecting like 76. It is what it is. He is a good overall athlete and a scheme fit so hopefully he progresses quickly, but probably not a focus train candidate at normal if I am already gong to focus train Wheeler. 

Next pick at 3.6

Not a lot here, but give me the mid 1st talent. Double dipping at WR is not ideal with other needs, but this isn't a good need based draft, so I will go BPA.

Man, the good news is if you put the 2024 and 2025 classes together you get two really good draft classes 😂

This is fine. Just depth anyway and will replace some guys who leave in a year or two, or will allow me to trade someone who is a little older.

So this is what happens when you only have 1 shot in each of the first two rounds and you get no hiddens out of either. Thankfully next year I have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds.

Okay I feel less bad. This draft class is TERRIBLE. Last year we had 11 players 75+, this year 5. Only 5 hidden players in the top 25. 

What are the Texans going to do about their QB controversy? This works for me, as it keeps Earl from winning OROY on an NFC team and hopefully my WR can win that.

- 2026 3rd - - WR BRANDEN JAMES 75 S

After the draft, I have 8 WRs on my roster. I think I till unload another one at the break as well, we'll see. James has 2 years left on his deal and steps in as the 2nd best WR for the Vikings.

TRADE

Osgood is on an expiring deal and I have too many players on the DL. I need to add a QB and safety.

This was a lot of work. I hated it. I don't know if I will do this many, maybe change to 3 at each position. Also a waste of time as there is only 1 CPU player in here, the QBN the Saints drafted the year after me. Oliver McGee is 6th. 

I am going to do the playercards and roster but I will do the historical stats later. This was so much data input and I kind of want to watch them play week 1 tonight. 

This can also help me with adjusting XP sliders. I think that HB needs a nerf and C needs a buff.

2025  Season

FALCONS 2025 TEAM RATINGS
     
OVERALL OFFENSE DEFENSE
83 (+6)
83 (+6)
83 (+4)

Good improvement on both sides of the ball. This could be an elite defense this year. We have 2 pass rushers, a close to elite corner, 2 great linebackers, and every other starter spot is at least okay. 

On offense again another step up. Not elite by any means but hopefully in a couple years after development. The defense really came together first in this one. 

2025 Training

I will be training OL and WR on offense, and LB/DB on defense.

I will Focus Train QB Oliver McGee, WR Montell Wheeler and RE Duncan Mays. 

I want to get McGee to 95, Wheeler is obvious despite being normal, and Mays as I am not training DL. 

2025 Team Needs

This will be a little clearer once we get to the re-signings.... but as of now:

  1. IOL
  2. CB
  3. DL
  4. S (If I lose Randall)
  5. QB2

I am going for a goal of 7 wins again. I'm scared of the Saints QB lol
