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 Edited February 25, 2021 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBURGE Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 2025 NFL Draft FALCONS PICKS 2025 1.21 - 2.21 - 3.06 via Saints 4.10 via Vikings 4.21 - 4.27 via Packers 5.21 - 5.24 via Jets 6.21 - 7.21 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 ⭐⭐⭐ 1L 1L DT JOSHUA PHILLIPS 21 6.04 300 OKLAHOMA ST RUN STOP 6.6 ⭐⭐ 2M 1M DT MORGAN YANCEY 22 6.03 285 MICHIGAN ST SPD RUSHER 6.7 ⭐ 2M 2E CB MICHAEL MCMILLON 23 5.09 193 OKLAHOMA MAN 6.4 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 74 OVR 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 This board didn't fall well, but it makes my decision really easy. 2025 DRAFT BOARD PROJ TALENT NAME AGE HT WT SCHOOL ARCHTYPE COMBINE GRADE PRIORITY? 2L 2E WR JEREMIAH KEYS 22 6.05 222 CLEMSON PHYSICAL 6.8 ⭐⭐ 3L 1E FS NATE CLINTON 21 6.02 203 FLORIDA RUN SUPPORT 7.3 ⭐⭐⭐ 4M 1L WR THOMAS MEEKINS 23 5.09 183 NEW MEXICO ST DEEP THREAT 6.4 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. FALCONS PICK 2025 2.21 S NATE CLINTON 6.02 203 21 AGE RUN 73 ZONE 72 HYBR 71 74 OVR 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double dipping at WR is not ideal with other needs, but this isn't a good need based draft, so I will go BPA.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JBURGE Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) 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: IOL CB DL S (If I lose Randall) QB2 I am going for a goal of 7 wins again.
