Pre Draft Order Mock (1.0)

Part IV Thanks for the contribution KNICKSFAN_84






25. New Orleans Saints - Surprisingly the Saints and their high powered passing attack are still available this late in the draft. Perhaps Drew Brees' age played a factor but the fact remains the Saints have a weapon in Jimmy Graham as well as a good 1-2 punch in the backfield in Ingram and Sproles.
26. San Diego Chargers - The Chargers are another team that for Madden have an unstoppable force at TE in veteran Antonio Gates and with the addition of Danny Woodhead and Dwight Freeny the boys from the 619 could be a match made in heaven just like Manti Te'o's girlfriend!

27. Pittsburgh Steelers - It's no surprise at all that the Steelers are no longer a favorite team for Madden players. Without stars such as Hines Ward, Mike Wallace, and James Harrison the guys from the steel city just don't have the depth that many people are looking for.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars - Not enough people give credit to the Jags due primarily to the fact that they lack a big name star player, but this year does look a little better for Jax as rookie Denard Robinson was moved from QB to WR I would guarantee you'll see some wildcat type play from the Jags. This team offers a good rebuilding opportunity but needs a long-term commitment.

29. Buffalo Bills - The Bills are a team that is desperately trying to get themselves back to the glory days of the 1990s. We've seen plenty of QB changes over the years for Buffalo and this year is no different it will be interesting to see who will be the signal caller for the Bills this year. Will it be Kevin Kolb or will the rookie from FSU EJ Manuel be this year's standout rookie QB.

30. Tennessee Titans - I may not be giving the Titans enough credit at the #30 spot but most people when they think of using the Titans in Madden are only thinking about the speed of Chris Johnson. This team may lack the appeal that most of the other teams have but a good owner could succeed with this diamond in the rough.

31. Cleveland Browns - The Browns field one of if not the youngest roster in the NFL with only their kicker having played more than 8 seasons. The Browns are a rebuilding team what they lack in experience they make up in heart, they are true to what Cleveland natives come to expect in their teams a scrappy bunch that will fight till the end but still come up short in the end.

32. New York Jets - Rounding off our list is the lowly Jets, their best defensive player got out of dodge and headed to Tampa and Rex Ryan seems more like a circus ring leader than an NFL head coach. The only type of person who will willingly take on Mark Sanchez and the infamous "butt fumble" will be a true die hard Jets fan.

Well, that settles it. Might as well give me the 32nd pick

Great job Michael, Loren, Danny, and Michael!!! Very entertaining. I'll be very curious to see how accurate you guys really are!

Please broadcast the draft lottery live and give plenty of heads up beforehand so all try to make it.

dude thats not enough.... I give 1st / 2nd / 3rd for the next 2 years for My NINERS!!!

Oh great, thought I was the only Niners fan lol.

All im saying is, trade my your Fullback, trade me your oversized TE thats wearing the wrong uniform, and especially trade me Dudes from the college of Wisconsin(The one, the only Big Red) and were set. I GM sort of like if America was a person and that person was a GM of a random NFL franchise. you know trade me your poor, sick, injured, ancient. I like to pretend im good, but honestly havnt been for about a madden and a half because my teams tend to be SLOW, sick, injured and ancient.

but seriously though, Hulks top 10 Teams for people like Hulk

1. Seahawks- Oh yea, Trade me Robert turbin, hes my next backfield mancrush, first for all the Recruits is Leron Mcclain
   
2. Ravens- Strong armed overpaid QB? check. Lost HOF legend MLB? check. had key free agents leave for money? check. yup this team is one of Hulks Favorites
3. Bengals- I love playing in the AFC north, im Smashmouth if ever an owner was one, however i lost track of my roots. and M25 boasting option. Just imagine a Bengals team running the option. would look epic. BTW first come first serve if they fall to me on andy dalton, he GONE!
4. Browns- Considering now whos commish, even if they fell to me i wouldnt take them. not because they have the best OT of all time(From wisconsin) but because i value my position in the league. i mean seriously how many browns fans even exist yet how many of them are in the 12th man? Coughjimcough
5. NYJ- Oh baby baby!!! chaos!! loving every second of the jets soap opera that i want to be a part of it.
6. Jacksonville- MJD, a stadium that has hosted rain games for every visit( and i was the Jags for 3+ seasons)
7. Bills- I fell in love with my last team i had even though we wee dreadful. much rather be dreadful with a beloved franchise like buffalo, than have to be soulless and quasi successfull ala Patriots
8. Buccaneers- one word. Creamsicle. Done. next.
9. Chargers- and their baby blues, again purely a uniform only decision
10. Titletown USA- Homer pick, but gotta be the darkhorse, not only because theyre damn good but because even if they fall to me, i like the b and c list teams. not top Tier with no real option to move the team ever or risk losing my sanity seeing GB play home games outside of Lambeau

If you read all this, congrats. i didnt even read it because i didnt spell check it. you did more than i did.
Also, im serious about this list, current top 10 best teams for the Hulkamaniacs out there in the room right now

naw been a NINERFAN4-39Years!!! my boys came home from the hospital after their births in Jerseys!! My house is Red n Gold!! Season Tix holder since 04 with my In-laws... Meet Joe last year in Santa Clara!! ummm yeah any man that can get his wife to agree to paint the house in a football teams colors is die hard

Smells like a Smoke Screen HULK!! all except for the SeaC@cks... Or maybe you like playing the big under dog role...

Badass. Can't quite do that yet with a 2 bed room apartment lol. But I turned my girl into a Niners fan pretty quickly. Got 49ers stuff all out through the apartment. I go to the game in St. Louis every year and in 2010 I met Mr. York and he gave me and my dad pre game field passes and I talk to him pretty much every year.

2010 on the field before the game

2011 season

aw Old man John!! I have been to STL a few times for work. you ever go to PAPPY's Smokehouse?? the BEST RIBS!!!! just up the street

Good luck with that list homie. Represent and make Bucky proud!

Your a sick man...enjoy every second of it.

Hurtful Hulk, hurtful. By the way, I fixed that for ya!

Great job with the mock fellas!

well i thought we didnt know yet who was all in, so i decided to use the former union that current commish's sharpened their teeth so to speak

I have a question that I do not know that answer to. The answer could impact team selection slightly I think.


Do any teams have advantages OR disadvantages draft pick wise in 2014?

the biggest one is still that the Rams have Washingtons 1st rounder, the rest are detailed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NFL_Draft

I even went to that page on wiki and I couldn't understand it lol

lol, well according to that list:

Rams have 2 1st rounders
Redskins have 0 1st rounders

Browns have 2 3rd rounders and 2 4th rounders
Vikings have 2 3rd rounders
49ers have 2 3rd rounders and 2 7th rounders

Steelers have 0 3rd rounders
Seahawks have 0 3rd rounders and 2 5th rounders
Titans have 0 3rd rounders

Colts have 0 4th rounders
Jaguars have 2 5th rounders
Lions have 0 5th rounders
Raiders have 0 5th rounders
Buccaneers have 0 6th rounders
Bears have 2 6th rounders

Raiders and Colts have conditional 7th rounders from Ravens and Cardinals (not sure how the game is addressing these)

49ers get a 2nd or 3rd from Chiefs
Buccaneers get a conditional picks from Eagles
Jets get a 3rd or 4th from Buccaneers

Skins have no 1st round pick again...so nobody pick them, just looking out for all of my Q fam

to break it down:

teams with more picks

Rams: 2 1st rounders
Browns: 2 3rd rounders and 2 4th rounders
Vikings: 2 3rd rounders
49ers: 2 3rd rounders, 2 7th rounders, and conditionally get an extra 2nd or 3rd
Jaguars: 2 5th rounders
Bears: 2 6th rounders
Colts: conditionally have 2 7th rounders
Jets: conditionally get an extra 3rd or 4th

teams with same amount of picks but different

Raiders: 0 5th rounders and conditionally have 2 7th rounders
Colts: 0 4th rounders and conditionally have 2 7th rounders
Seahawks: 0 3rd rounders and 2 5th rounders

teams with less picks

Redskins: 0 1st rounders
Steelers: 0 3rd rounders
Titans: 0 3rd rounders

Will you all be simming NCAA 14 seasons, and importing those draft classes?

This is certainly a question that falls into the ....have to have M25 in our hands before we can begin to formulate decisions in finality

Thinking outloud on the subject:

-It will be a pro's and con's battle of NCAA file vs. Storyline file

-I think most people would favor real players and a NCAA file...I've been begging for it for years from EA...I can remember playing in xbox madden leagues with usb memory transfer kits...and owners drafting real ncaa players like adrian peterson and then having them grow in Madden...it was sick...completely awesome... that is why it was so flabbergasting that the NCAA draft file has NOT been an option for so long....UM HELLO why are we backtracking EA and losing important features instead of gaining them?? damn ea

-NOW...the main problem I see with this and our sim season format....what kind of draft classes are going to be out there? after a few cycles of play-season/sim-season

-Also NCAA does removes the storyline player feature which is worth noting
