Why did they draft all those RBs and WRs in the draft again? Looks like they should've targeted some OL and maybe [gasp] a QB!?

Can't confirm this so don't read into it too much, but I think Beck's rating will be around a 67 in this year's Madden. Enjoy.

That's why Rexy will be my starter

Haha werd. I'm excited to see the changes they've made to franchise mode, although I'm not happy they weren't able to implement a rookie scale. It'll be interesting to see if in franchise mode it's not about putting the top rated player on the field anymore.

well, back when they still had a pc version (08?) you could cut all your draft picks (not sign them) and then get them the first day of FA at stupid stupid low prices (like 70% off), or switch their position and then sign them long term before switching them back... Madden is full of cheese.

Beck may not even start. If he does, I have to defer to the "savoir faire" (there ya go smooty :cheeky-sm) of the Shanny's. Jury is still out on this whole QB thing.

Damn Diehard, pretty harsh against the moves we made. I like what we are doing. Nice and quiet. These kinds of off seasons get things moving back towards be a winning franchise again. So how many pre BA and MS players are going to be left on this team once we finalize our 53 man roster? That is a question I would like to know. I would think it may be only as high as 35% or so. Lots of turnover the last 2 years. There should be some good players in all of these guys. We also have added alot of youth as opposed to lots of older players.

You mentioned FA bums, so I assumed you were talking about the likes of Bowen, Cofield, etc.

Wow! We just got one hell of a player right there. Been watching him since his Freshman year at the University of Richmond. Too cool that he's a Skin now.

I love the move ... not many highlights but he's only been in the league 3 years and is used to sharing the load with other RBs.

How is cofield and bowen Bums?
