You have the 1st overall pick of a Fantasy draft....

[realhawker]

Based on the trying to build a team to win IMMEDIATELY, if possible the first season, not the youth draft strategy most people use.

Who do you choose....

Champ?

LT?

Ogden?

Peyton?

Jeff Feagles?

Let me know who you would choose.

[Juggalo_Hustla]

I think I'll take LT if not Peyton in the first round

Chris

[killacs]

peyton then next rd pick up portis. after draft trade peyton for vick/1st rder. then set your philosophy on offense to 100 run and 100 agression

[GaryGuanine]

I think I might take Champ. I find that I can pass with any QB with decent THA (*cough* Philip Rivers *cough*).

Though killacs's idea is pretty interesting.

Question: will you do better with vick as QB with that coach setting vs Peyton in a pass heavy coach style(or whatever is best for him)?

[DraftMaster]

trade it for a 1st and 3rd
oops fantasy draft

tough one
probably LT one hella of a running back and he can catch too ah **** but theirs no top quality qbs left over
i guess manning and get the top rb in the 2nd

[henrey713]

WTF JEFF FEAGLES the Punter or kicker whatever position he plays. That must be a joke. I would pick Donovan McNabb, I cant stand Peyton slow ***. And I could do good with a high 80 HB

[Dumb Daddy]

I've drafted two franchises. In the first, I drafted Tomlinson as my first overall pick (top 10, don't remember the exact pick. That team has lost 1 game in 4 + seasons (mostly All-Madden).

I just finished drafting another team with a different philosophy. I took Culpepper with the 10th overall pick with Portis as my 3rd round pick (both teams grabbed Urlacher in the 2nd round.

Both teams feature a lot of rookies but the only starters are at WR (Braylon Edwards, Matt Jones) and OLB (Derrick Johnson and Shawne Merriman). The rest of the rookies will be backups (this season).

I am only at training camp for team #2 (Chiefs) but I expect to be in the mix for the championship, even though I will start on All-Madden. It is almost a cheat to play one season on All-Pro, dominate and progress everyone then switch to All-Madden.

[CASportsFan1]

I'd take Randy Moss no question

Randy Moss is a great first selection. Play him the first season then trade him for picks before the draft comes around after season one. Works out well.

I'd probably go with Ogden.

I want my best players to be guys I don't control myself (because I obviously can't make them any better by what I do with them). And because I prefer a ground attack, the best tackle seems the best choice for me.

[Pandemonium72]

Real Life: Tom Brady
Madden 06: Daunte Culpepper

I agree with that. I can make a 70 OVR RB the best in the league, I never control the O-line tho.

yes i can guarantee it. me and friend have done like 20 franchsies simming games. i had this offense setup.. peyton qb, ronnie brown rb, randy moss wr, andre johnson wr, and mike williams wr. johnson had upgraded break tackle and williams had upgraded accel. anyway moral of the story is i went balls to the wall pass and agression. he was agressive run basicly what happened was he controled the ball more and didnt turn it over as much. in like 10 head to head meetings he beat me like 7-3 which isnt that bad but still. the 3 wins of mine were on my turf 3 of his wins were at his place and his other 4 wins were in the superbowl. the first set of losses i had was in the first year of the franchise, moss was still 98 speed. moral of the story if you draft a speed defense and have the right personel you can have a postive 35 or so turn over diff at the end of the year because if vick doesnt throw he really doesnt turn the ball over

i really liked rivers in 05, he was my goto guy but he got downgraded in 06 so a better pick is aaron rodgers, he is cheaper can be picked almost as late as rivers. has decent acc and power. is quicker so pocket presence is easier and his arm str being better he can make the throws that require a hard pass on percesion passing

[GaryGuanine]

I prefer the high THA (96-97 after training camp). I find that it works much better for the Precision Passing to have a high THA. I've played games with low-THA players, and the ball goes all over the place. It's probably just playing style, though.

Also, you can always draft Philip Rivers in the 25th Round of a Fantasy Draft. The CPU picks him in the 26th Round. Rodgers is less predictable, sometimes going around the 18th Round. The problem with Rivers, of course, is managing your current pick cap so you can pick him in the 25th Round (and if you want Ronnie Brown around then, making sure you have space for his salary, too).

Gary

[killacs]

some throws in perceision passing cant be made unless youve got like 90 or so power, 87 accuracy makes that drill doable you just have to move out of the pocket on some throws and set yourself up

[GaryGuanine]

killacs,

Oh, I was thinking as far as actually playing the game, not just the drills.

I like your strategy and testing. very cool.

which one the vick strat or the manning one but work well. the manning one puts up more pts and actually works better if there are no human players in your franchise

I would pick a younger QB in the 2nd or 3rd round so you'll have him longer & can develop his talent.

For the 1st pick I would either pick the best young OT or Dwight Freeney. For the 2nd pick and 3rd pick I would get the best young WR and QB available (2nd and 3rd pick will be back to back).

I picked up Ronnie Brown in the 17th round and he was 90 after his rookie season. Therefore, I don't pick a RB in the early rounds.

I have had Ronnie Brown as a backup and I thought that he wasn't fast enough for me. Then I noticed how hard he is to trade -- big bonus, long contract. I don't use him any more. (By the way, you can actually get him in the mid-20's roundwise if you want).

As for grooming a young QB -- that's what I used to do. I haven't had much success yet in M2006 because the vision cone has made me a crappy QB trigger man.

I have mixed feelings about Dwight Freeney. When I face him, I find that I can run all day long to his side of the field. He's not very hard to RBK. On the other hand, he is a pain in the *** to face if you are passing.

[Lukie]

I think there are really only 2 players that it would make sense to draft first overall.. Moss or Vick, MAYBE Culpepper. I would take Moss then go for a QB with high THP in the 2nd round. Then in the 3rd and 4th I'd take a TE and RB in no particular order. First pick has to be Moss or Vick..

[PhamHall]

I take Peppers or Seymore. I like to go with a strong D-line to help stuff the run and get some pressure on the Qb's.

that way i can wait on the fast young corners and have the progress
