It's always tough to judge what people will do in our team draft. I've seen teams like the Dolphins, Bucs, Chiefs, and Titans go in the top 10 so people here don't always go for the best rated teams.
I only really hate the Patriots.. Favorite is the Panthers so I have some hope.. Then have about 5 that I really like.. But oh well...
I feel like most people will try to go with their favorite teams or team that might be a challenge. Just depends on the owner. If the 49ers were the worst team in the league I still would want them if I had the first pick
Bingo. Last year's results... Pick 1: LtJustice Carolina Panthers Pick 2: redlishus Green Bay Packers Pick 3: CSteud Pittsburgh Steelers Pick 4: hoodiii Tennessee Titans Pick 5: CaptMoe Dallas Cowboys Pick 6: Juan Valencia New York Giants Pick 7: Merenguito New York Jets Pick 8: Scikotic Seattle Seahawks Pick 9: WilsT24 Detroit Lions Pick 10: Warhawk AKA dreadman San Francisco 49ers Pick 11: dablakpope New England Patriots Pick 12: Casino Washington Redskins Pick 13: saintsdave75 Houston Texans Pick 14: ThaBayouChef Philadelphia Eagles Pick 15: Coopdog Cincinnati Bengals Pick 16: coachmimz20 Baltimore Ravens Pick 17: thafuture3886 Arizona Cardinals Pick 18: Phenom Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick 19: PepperNY New Orleans Saints Pick 20: javy0472 Kansas City Chiefs Pick 21: Gutcheck64 Atlanta Falcons Pick 22: Miki1369 Oakland Raiders Pick 23: ferocious Chicago Bears Pick 24: TwoTONS04 San Diego Chargers Pick 25: CHUNKNESS Miami Dolphins Pick 26: cry_havoc Indianapolis Colts Pick 27: PDP973 Minnesota Vikings Pick 28: pittrocks43 St Louis Rams Pick 29: Jaged Jacksonville Jaguars Pick 30: PAPER R1VAL Denver Broncos Pick 31: Michael Overman Cleveland Browns Pick 32: Broncos218 Buffalo Bills
If I remember correctly Panthers went #3 in Madden 12 and then #1 last year. Call it the Cam Newton factor. BTW, LtJustice is banned from taking a team with a running QB lol
Great job with the mock so far! Can't wait to see the rest! Just to clarify for everyone; we will generate a random draft order shortly after we have a final 32 owners. I am toying with the idea of some sort of live broadcast. All joking aside, it will be strictly against the rules to trade team draft positions for compensation of ANY kind. As far as swapping picks/teams (without compensation) that is still to be determined.
Do it.. Have a pick by pick update on the forums.. With each pick every minute or thirty seconds.. Had something like this for the fifa group.. It was kind of what they do for the FIFA group staging!!
Hey, i wasn't the head honcho last year. CHUNKNESS actually generated the order, he just used my suggestion on the site to use.
I have no problem with anyone using a running QB to actually run. Isn't that the point of a dual threat? Besides....RGIII, Kaepernick, Wilson, Cam all can and will run. They should be used accordingly, especially with a read option playbook.
I got the Colts at #32 2 years ago...and last year i picked em at like 24 or something. Theres proven to be gems at the bottom.
Part III cont. Thanks for the contribution from DJDunn6 17. New England Patriots - Honestly I am shocked they last this long. Tom Brady is enough for the top 8 add in that offensice playbook and east coast bias and they are usually top 5. Welker and Hernandez are gone I get it but Brady finds the match and the open man no matter who they throw out there. 18. Chicago Bears - The Monsters of the Midway frankly have too much of a fan following to not go higher so they must go off the board now. Cutler still has a gun on madden and real life, Brandon Marshall is always open and they have a premier RB. 19. Philadelphia Eagles - My how the mighty in madden land have fallen usually an out of the box must have. Mike Vick still can run and throw every madden lovers got to have. They like the Bears have a premier RB in Shady McCoy, a plethora of TE depth and Chip Kelly's offense are enough for the Eagles to still be sought after. The transition to the 3-4 on paper may be rough but a good user will make it work. 20. Indianapolis Colts - Don't sleep on the Colts in Madden stud young QB's are hard to find and they have one for sure. Throw in a nice TE and fast slot WR in Hilton and that fast track in the dome and a madden owner has the makings of a nice offense. Granted they are missing that RB to bring it all together and the D added new faces but I would not pass on the Colts if they were here this late. 21. Miami Dolphins - This may be a homer pick since I still have a Dan Marino poster in my parents basement lol. However people like change and the Dolphins added some nice madden talent including that game changing WR in Mike Wallace. The OL needs some work and speedy Lamar Miller is a question mark but the additions of rookie joker Dion Jordan 2 new blitzing LB's and nice CB depth make this team marketable for sure. 22. Baltimore Ravens - WTF...how are they still here? I know they lost some vet players but come on those guys were on the decline and older players anyway after 2 seasons they would retire on madden. This team is still solid and legacy alone should have them gone several picks prior. Flacco, Rice and that OL are enough for me let the Ravens be around when I pick. 23. Oakland Raiders - Uniforms and tradition have them gone well before this in my opinion plus a big fan following. They have some work to do on both sides of the ball but if DMac stays healthy and someone can scheme a defense till the talent comes around its worth the risk. 24. Kansas City Chiefs - I am pretty surprised they are still around here. They added a ton of new faces 2 good CB's and some pieces on O that are an improvement. Usually when a team makes several moves and has a lot of pub around the league which they do they become the "it" team don't be shocked if that happens in madden as well.
I was joking lol. I never had an issue with anyone using running QB's last year. Had some good battles against LtJustice including some games where I completely shut down Cam including a playoff game and then other games he shit all over me lol.
Colts got Bradshaw this year running the rock...could it be 3yrs Mr. Music is at the helm and holding it down at Lucas Oil?
Also keep in mind that not everyone plays with their favorite team in the league. I think it was a a pretty big shock that the Saints lasted til 18 last year after saintsdave75 passed on them at 13 and then I passed on them at 14. It's fun to switch it up sometimes and play with a different squad. With that said, this current mock draft is going GREAT!!
I totally agree Loren... the thing is, ive played a total of like 5 times with the Gmen in 3 years. If im not them in CCM mode i spend more time on my team to even mix a game in. For once id love to land my dudes. But goin back to what u said, i really dont mind. I have a handful of teams id love to build and battle with.
I'm fortunate to have my skins in my other Madden league, so I guess runnin with the squad here isn't that big of a deal, May pick the Bills just so I can draft Clowney next season, hahahaha...picture that
