Gee, who would ever have guessed that would happen…
You and the Vikings should talk.

The draft really shook up my trade options, as I thought that my needs would be met with the players that should have been there. Instead I picked up a BPA HB that now makes Matt Forte expendable. 88 overall, good all around back with hands.
I’m looking for Safety help, OLB, D Lineman, Oline.

oh, and I’m still such a noob that I can’t send PMs, so I can only respond via the thread or email (matt.hellens@gmail.com)
So, Perkins, be honest. Did you really have that 80 OVR RG at the top of your draft board? ;)
The Vikings and 49ers would like to announce the following trade:
OLB Ben Leber for S Reggie Smith
We drafted two linebackers and they’ll need playing time we’re happy to find Leber a home.
As for the Viking Draft:

No, I did not. I am glad I spent that time setting up a draft order so the game could randomly pick guys for me. I did not get one guy I tried to get. I had the 81 HB as my first draft pick…
Weak sauce. Oh well, kind of sucks, but it is what it is. No clue why it did not use my draft selections at all, or why it would pick for a position I already have filled or why it would not pick one of the much higher rated gents in the draft… Ugh.
That said, I have an extra 80 RG. Probably one of the highest OLinemen to be on the market right now. I would like a strong RB, a good WR, or a good LB. Anyone interested?
You just missed the Ben Leber Express.
So you got Storm Williams huh? He looks like a killer. I almost drafted him even though I do not really need a DT. Of course, Madden would have randomly drafted me someone anyway, but that guy was looking pretty bad ass.
No no no. We’ve got Leber Fever.
Dude, that really sucks. I thought draft boards actually worked for away owners, but I guess not. :( Oh well. Let the trading being.
Yeah, I am so going to fire my GM.
On a different note, I change my trade offer from above:
OFFERING: 80 RG
WANTING: LOLB, RE, LE.
I can probably do any good LB or RE/LE. I also two very similar HBs now. Williams is 81 and my rook is 80, with good speed and acceleration. If you want to offer something for him and the 80 RG, such as a player rated in the 90s, I would definitely be interested in listening.
Oh, I would like to get Crumpler off of Free Agency. VERY SLIM PICKINGS THERE.
The Chiefs proved that Jamaal Charles was but a distant memory with a 42-20 opening day win over the Broncos. Thomas Jonas had a very respectable 93 yards on 14 carries with a score and Matt Cassell threw 4 TDs, 2 to Dexter McCluster. On defense Jerod Mayo brought the defensive spark we were hoping for with 6 tackles, and our rookie starting LE Gordon Roberson had a sack-fumble in his NFL debut which was picked up and returned for a touchdown.

I didn’t technically need a DT but he was still a pretty big upgrade. Should allow me to do some different things with my defense.

I have the following players available for trade:
Antonio Bryant - 83 WR
Shawn Nelson - 76 TE
Fred Jackson - 83 HB
Marshawn Lynch - 78 HB
Dwan Edwards - 80 RE
Marcus Stroud - 78 LE
Bryan Scott - 79 SS
George Wilson - 75 FS
Looking for T, C, CB, FB.
The New England Patriots have 81-rated SS James Sanders on the block. We are looking for a DE or an OLB rated 75-81. If you would prefer a different brand of mediocre SS, Pat Chung is a 79 and we’re told is quite gentle to his lovers. JUST MAKE ME AN OFFER DAMMIT
Also – I know we’re doing regular player-versus-player games starting Wednesday. Can those of us who are playing AI start immediately?
Yeah, go ahead and start games. Round 1 of free agency is tonight, open free agency starts Wednesday - the first rollover will be the evening of Wednesday, February 16th, so get those games in!
