Draft
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2022 8:28 amJust completed my first draft.
Noticed the overall ratings of the players appears quite low in general. Typically 60 to low 70s, even for first round, second round talent.
So unfortunately, they all end up on the practice squad typically.
You can typically sign free agents for league minimum which are 75+, so these guys will never get a chance.
They also don't seem to develop at all on the practice squad. Ratings never increase.
Was hoping either that
1) Rating gets a bump. Too many first, second and third round talent, that has random ratings, like an F for tackling or speed or strength for DLine, or blocking for Oline, etc.
2) Growth in the first to third years should be significantly higher than later years, in order to compensate for their low early ratings.
There should be some sort of potential ceiling we should be able to see. For instance, in the football manager games, they have a current overall and a potential overall, which could be a range number (i.e. 75-85) to judge its boom / bust potential.
For instance in the real world pre draft, we all feel Mac Jones ceiling is limited, whilst his current overall is probably higher than Trey Lance. But Trey Lance's ceiling is far higher than Mac Jones. Also he could bust our lower than Jones as well if he doesn't develop.
