I like that to them, shoring up like 19 starting roster spots that need to be upgraded is an easy order. I don’t think they watch the same sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clickbait pays the bills for them. If I got money for ad revenue and views, I would be even worse than Skip Bayless (maybe). hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks it’s most realistic that maybe the two best free agents are going to sign with Chicago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks it’s most realistic that maybe the two best free agents are going to sign with Chicago? I mean, it sounds great, but some of the stuff put together here is far more realistic than any of those options. Payne is the guy it seems everyone wants most if he hits the market, including me. It’s a classic case of huge need meets immediate long term answer. If we land him, then our need for Carter becomes much less IMO, which I think opens up our trade possibilities much more. Underdiscussed in our trade down possibilities is how early FA is potentially going to impact how far Poles is willing to move down. How many knowns can/will we acquire before the draft, and at what spots? He’s got to build a team that’s the greatest sum of parts overall, which means weighing getting top prospect at his position versus multiple top 3-4 prospects at their respective positions. As for Brown, I suspect he’s looking to be the highest paid OT in the league (Trent Williams and Bakhtiari both make $23M/yr), and personally I’d rather see us go after any of McGary or Taylor or McGlinchey at anywhere from $5-10M less AAV, still get a large upgrade, and be able to sign another solid starter or maybe two for the same total cost. I think that’s a much more prudent use of our FA funds, especially if we’re going to have to pay top dollar and then some for Payne like in this scenario. Anderson is my top guy in this draft and the guy I’d take at 1 if for some reason we didn’t trade down, but after a trade down that goes beyond 2 I’m not expecting him to be there.

The only obstacle being Arizona really. If Carter goes off at the combine or the cards trade down to a qb needy team as well, we could get our cake and eat it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 I created a franchise in madden 22 and made everyone’s ratings reflect my opinions of them then benched Fields for half the year so we’d end up with the first pick and maybe get a more realistic sim for stats. He ended up within 120 yards, 10 pass attempts, .3 ypa, 3% completion percentage and had 11 ints. Pretty close lol. Also my receivers had a total of 3700 yards receiving, and Fields only had 2200 of it so that would mean the guy I put at QB (Cairo Santos) managed to have 1500 in half a season. Maybe we’re using him wrong in his executive watch the team go for it instead of trying the 50 yard FG role. Also Al-Quadin Muhammad had 2 sacks on the year. He’s twice as good in madden.
