Awesome stuff!

I so hope that EA fixes the Playbooks and various little bugs of CCM next year. I'd really like to be playing Madden with all this stuff in the game.

I don't know what the heck is going on. At least 3 players I scouted aren't listed in the scouting department for the draft anymore. One guy was in a feature story. I hope they come back.

Lots of coaching changes. Whisenhunt to Tennessee, Rex Ryan to Seattle, Marvin Lewis to Baltimore, Norv Turner to Philly, new coach to Minny, new coach to Redskins, new coach to Jets. Clay Matthews got franchise tagged, Randy Moss retired, Osi U got tagged lol, Vontae Davis franchised by Colts, B.Albert by Chiefs.

Holy crap. Some good players available in free agency. At QB there is Romo, Matt Ryan and Josh Freeman. McFadden is available at RB! So is Beanie Wells. A.Boldin, Maclin at WR along with Heyward-Bey. What are the Raiders doing? Pettigrew top TE. E. Monroe a 27 year old, 90 rated LT available. Shocked to see some good young talent availabe but this is a good thing! Two good 28 year old centers on the market. Some good DL too. Most of the good LBs are old but a couple really good MLB like Sean Lee are there. Nothing special at safety.

I only have $5.7 million in cap room and I haven't drafted yet. I don't think I can get involved in any bidding wars and it appears the cpu teams are struggling as well. I've got the 5th pick in the draft! I don't like the kids at the top and will try to trade down about 5 spots and acquire a 2nd rounder if i can.

I'd love to go after Matt Ryan (86 overall) and he only wants $11 million per year but I know that will go up. Not many guys I can cut to make a move for anyone.

Whew. The scouted players came back.

Tom Brady retired! Bears signed Tony Romo, 2 years $16 million.

Week 2 of FA: Falcons sign Vince Young lol. DL Williams signed by Denver 5 years, $27 mil. Not sure if that was a re-sign or not.

Week 3: Maclin to Broncos for 5 years, $35 million. Andy Reid is in Arizona. Bears way overpaid for Anquan Boldin at 5 years $52 million. Skip Bayless trashes the signing lol. McFadden stays in Oakland.

I'm scouting some of these draft story kids. Maybe their grades will change still but the scouts appear to be wrong at times. One of the stories was a 6th round TE and he's now rated 2nd round. One kid at QB they are raving about is only a C and ranked #2 overall. Big mistake if you take him.

I've yet to see an A overall grade. C is around 70 I think. I'm taking the philosophy of finding as many B guys as i can and move around the draft to get them. That's where the value is and I see some B guys with 2nd and even 3rd round grades. Will do my best.

The draft is up next.

Free agency re-cap: Matt Ryan (wants $11M yr) and Josh Freeman (almost $9 mil at 83 overall) went unsigned! Holy crap! One top guard 81 overall (wanted $4-$5 mil) went unsigned. One DE L.Sidbury was 82, speed rusher, age 28 and only wanted under $1.5 million a year. That's a steal. If I have room I will pick him up after the draft. Just sitting there. Nick Barnett rated 89 at ROLB but at 33 and wanting up to $6.6 mill a year has priced himself out of a team. Old expensive CBs sitting there too: C.Webster, C. Tillman, A.Winfield. All want over $5 mill right now.

Gosh dang it. All of the draft grades changed again before the draft. I had two B overall options at TE that went down to C. If I would have known both would have crapped the bed I would have gone after a FA TE a little harder. I signed NOBODY in free agency due to only have $5.7 million in cap space and quality depth.

I did a lot more overall scouting and not so much attribute scouting this year. There are 3 kids with D grades (rounds 2, 3 and 4). 24 kids I scouted have C grades. Ugh. That includes the projected 2nd overall pick at QB and 7th overall at RB. In fact, 7 of those C grades are first round material. That will probably be a 70 rating but that's not good enough for 1st round.

Good news is I have 3 B grades. A WR projected 17 overall, a MLB projected 32nd, and a SS projected 30th in the 3rd round - that is a steal I have to grab. I don't want to risk losing these guys so I will try to trade down from #5 to #10 to grab that WR. I will try to move up into the low 20s to grab that MLB from my #32 spot. And I want to grab that SS in the 2nd round. After that I will be drafting fairly blind but will try to grab the C scouted kids.
