You can trade draft picks, but not anyone signed in Free Agency.

Are injuries lowered during PS?

I don't think so

Our worst fears became a reality in this SIM, Dashawn Broady RT, collapsed after a reconstructive knee surgery at the end of the last season, he was projected in 60s and now is 31 of potential... Our first round pick of 2042 is dead officially.

I really don't understand why I can't get a decent RB in this league. I've drafted a couple in the 2nd round, tried FA, and traded for some. Each time they tank. This draft I picked one in the first and overpaid for one in late FA. My rookie RBs went -6/-17 and -2/-12 in Ex2. So my 1st round pick went from 31/47, which already sucks for a first round pick, to 29/35.

My starting D-Line combined for -19/-19. That's almost 5 points per player across the line. That's not a good sign.

Other than that there wasn't too much movement. I was really hoping that I'd be able to put together a running game this season, since I have one of the best O-lines in the league and a couple young RBs that looked like they'd be competent. Now I don't know what we're going to do this season, but it's not looking great.

All you really need is a RB with high Hole Recognition and Endurance and you're set. Actually:
QB: Accuracy/Sense Rush/Avoid Int
RB: Hole Rec/Endurance
WR: Route Running/Big Play Receiving/(Get Downfield for additional bonus)

With your OL, you'd wreck.

Yeah, unfortunately Jimenez showed above average hole recognition and really high endurance before the draft. Now he's showing 19 HR and 12 END. I was pretty excited to finally get a decent RB, and was willing to reach a little to get him.

Going back and looking at it, it seems that it was a hopeless errand this year. The highest rated rookie RB by my scouts is Kelly Adas at 31/43. I was fighting an uphill battle all along.

Happens, but Hole Rec has the biggest influence on Yards Per Carry.

Wow. That has to be the worst year for RBs I've ever seen. Shocking drop.

@Nemesis -- does it, or do high HR bars simply primarily occur in better RBs? Compare sorting current league RBs by HR and Elusive, for example.

The bar itself also is the biggest influence on Overall rating, but by itself, you can have a great performing RB with high HR/End and low everything else. At least it was when I tested it.

Mercury Farmer, Nick's RB in CyFL up until this PS2 was an example of this type of RB, and he was only rated like 42/42. Yeah he has Speed Outside, but that was pretty insignificant to Overall Rating and YPC.

1.1 went another +6 to my (shitty) scouting. That's +22 overall so far. If that holds up he'll be well worth the pick in two more seasons.

Absolute junk from us outside of the first couple of rounds, which I expected once I saw where all those bars were. Damn scouting being wrong is bad. Guess I'll have to stick with static bars in this league until I can get decent scouting again.

Buttface looks better than I expected, I admit.

My 3rd round WR J. Burroughs went +9/+9, still admittedly trashy 7th round safety went +4, T. Watson dropped 7 but I also converted him to CB.

I had a decent draft considering it was me doing the drafting.
