Late FA is so boring! Can someone please send me a trade offer already?

[Guest]

Yes, let's get some trade talk going!

Late FA is the best time of year. Time to try and scoop up some gems out of what fell out of the draft pool. It's early but I'd like to think we got a few decent ones! The RB and WR look most intriguing. Neither will probably manage to be what our UDFA RB from last year was, but you never know.

Too bad on the OT, Tanner something, I was narrowly outbid on. Had hoped to give him a look here in Boston, but I believe it was Kalispel (or Motor City?) that was of similar mind.

I was looking at that T also but I have couple guys I traded for, and hope to extend their contracts. If I do that will only be left with 4-6 million left I am guessing. So wanted to have a little emergency money if need be. He was a nice undrafted FA though. Also saw a QB I was tempted in bidding on but aftr inquiring Anderson thought hold off a year see what happens.

We run our teams so differently. I never have money to spend in LFA.

[Aston]

You don't need much. There are guys that one team has fallen in love with and will drop a huge sum on, but in most cases competing means somewhere around 1-1.5M in cap cost with relatively low bonuses. The bonuses will be dead weight if they're cut, but otherwise it should make little dent in cap available (since only the Top 51 count against your cap).

With the 39 combine setting I think LFA has been thrown much more open, so it's both harder to dismiss players immediately and more likely for a few decent ones to slip completely through the cracks.

I remember that guy I signed in my forst season here... 30M for 5 years or something ridiculous for a 15/57 UDFA he finished 27/27.... Damn me

I am super excited to see what TC brings. I took a shotgun approach to LFA this year since I had a little leftover cash for once.

[Delandis]

Also for any (relatively) new guys here like myself, don't forget to export your data into Player Tracker now so that you see how TC affected your scout's view of your draftees.

Also, I am not sure how I missed that DE that Waco got.

That DE was next on my list after my 1st round WR - it is why I wanted to move up.

He was pretty low on the draft list. Only a 4.8 draft grade. I was very happy to get him @ 1.32. I almost traded up to draft him earlier. He has lots of green on his bars but if he fills out he might be the best defensive player in the draft.

[Aston]

Yeah, I was thinking of that DE at 1.31 also. But I felt my need at CB was a little greater, I guess. The DE looks the much better player.

I have just accepted I know know very little about how to draft good players in this version of the game with the current scouting accuracy. I just look at some bars and hope for the best.

So far it looks like scouting bars are the primary indicator. Personally, I like it like this. I'm not a fan of the whole combine correlation approach. For me, that took the fun out of the game.

It is hard enough to keep up with you vets as it is.
