Whatever happened to Raekwon McMillan (I think?) - he was a 5* recruit that joined last summer. Obviously not coming out this year or next, but did he play much? Redshirt?

Raekwon was one of the best LBs in the B1G and him Barrett and one of the OLmen were already named captains for next year. Next year hes draft eligible.

It would be interesting to see what people would do with the free agency portion of the offseason included as well, and there's a sim for that...somewhere!

Look at this shit. Even the EXPERTS agree with me. Offensive linemen are horse shit, dime-a-dozen lard asses.

I drafted all Joe Thomases and look at the fucked up score I got - 2655 D-

Your score is: 2655 (GRADE: D+)

Your Picks:

Round 1 Pick 2: Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State (C+)

Round 2 Pick 1: Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State (

Round 3 Pick 2: Joey Hunt, C, TCU (F)

Round 4 Pick 1: Fahn Cooper, OT, Ole Miss (C-)

Round 5 Pick 2: Caleb Benenoch, OT, UCLA (F)

Round 6 Pick 1: Eric Mac Lain, OG, Clemson (F)

Round 7 Pick 2: Marcus Henry, C, Boise State (F)

HOWEVER................ the good news? All seven of these lard asses will be going to the fucking Hall Of Fame.

So first step...

SIGNED PLAYERS

Name Position Cap Hit

Travis Benjamin WR 4,200,000 - 6m per year

Mitchell Schwartz T 4,400,000 - 8m

Tashaun Gipson S 6,300,000 - 9m

Malik Jackson DE 4,900,000 - 7m

Von Miller OLB 7,425,000 - 13.5m

The cap hit doesn't reflect what I offered them - Von Miller was $13.5m per year, 40% guaranteed, for example, not sure how they ended up with that.

CUT

Name Position

Paul Kruger OLB

Jim Dray TE

Andrew Hawkins WR

Johnny Manziel QB

Taylor Gabriel WR

Dwayne Bowe WR

Now to the draft part. Clearly still need a QB, and some WRs!

Your score is: 8696 (GRADE: A+)

Your Picks:

Round 1 Pick 2: Jared Goff, QB, California (A+)

Round 2 Pick 9 (NYG): Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State (A-)

Round 3 Pick 2: Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA (A+)

Round 3 Pick 8 (NYG): Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State (A+)

Round 4 Pick 1: Scooby Wright III, ILB, Arizona (B-)

Round 5 Pick 2: Maliek Collins, DT, Nebraska (A+)

Round 6 Pick 1: Bralon Addison, WR, Oregon (A+)

Round 7 Pick 2: DeAndre Washington, RB, Texas Tech (A-)

I would wet myself with excitement if that draft happened, but I suspect not. Kenny Clark and Emmanuel Ogbah won't last until the third round, and Scooby Wright looks likely to go on day 2 somewhere, but still, that's what the sim gave me.

Great moves Chris. But sure would love to see that C or G in 3rd to move Grego over to C or keep Erving out of C? I see a lot of DT being drafted but Lava Lava I trust is our future if used properly?

I would agree with this too.....except, if Im understanding it correctly?.....$6m per year to Benjiman and $9m per year to Gipson seems outrageous....and would be way overpaying....

Otherwise, Im down....

Just a little fly in the ointment. Von will get a minimum of $14mil if the Broncos franchise him, which they will do if no contract is signed by the last day to franchise.

Stay out of Chris' ointment... and keep your fly zipped.

Benji wouldn't sign for less, and 9m is the going rate for a top safety.

Sure, again, just going on the sim results. They didn't franchise him and he hit the open market.

gftChris

Regarding C, this was done on the assumption Mack stays (there's no opting out for him on the sim). I'll maybe do another one at some point and cut him, and go from there.

LOL-got to be a bad sim because he goes nowhere near $13mil in the open market. Closer to Suh's contract.

Quite possibly. Then again I had plenty of cap space left.

gftChris

With Mack cut - I basically signed Gino Gradkowski as an almost direct replacement. Will look to draft someone as well maybe later if it's good value:

Danny Trevathan ILB 3,000,000 - 5m?
