You mean Jones? I would take him any day without hesitation.

Btw. how important do you find the heigh and weight for a player? In RL it can be very important (especially at OL and DL), but im not realy sure how important it is here. Im trending to look at the skills much more than how tall he is or how many pounds he has. But i think some are very concerned about that numbers.

Well, maybe i wouldnt take a WR with 300+ pounds, but it would be funny :-).


Weight is extremely important for OL and DL. It has a big boost to functional strength. Similar but likely more severe than the changes to speed. I don't know why he changed speed and acceleration but didn't change strength as well.

Bucs did not had many picks in the draft but with some trades they managed to pull in decent picks…. 1 stud WR, 3 backups plus in trade got Rotational RB – Thomas Meyers too.

Roberto Louie, WR 65/98 Speed 95 Acceleration 95, Catching Ability 100, Run Blocking 100, Route Running 100, Volatility 84, Progress +15/+0  Looks complete WR with ability to be dynamic playmaker with ability & willingness to block in the running game. Due to high volatility he may end up being 95 instead of 98 but happy to see him not regress in the 1st year, so will be great find at 14th pick in the 1st round.

Gregorio Thomas, OG 47/70 Strength 100, Pass Blocking 57, Run Blocking 74, Volatility , Progress +13/-3  Took some developmental OL who has chance to become decent back up.

John Roberts, LG 40/66 Strength 90, Pass Blocking 70, Run Blocking 55 +10/-1, Volatility , Progress +10/-1  Took some developmental OL who has chance to become depth player.

James Binford, MLB 40/62 Speed 73, Tackle Ability 100, Pass Rush 61, Run Def 69, Volatility 38, Progress +13/+1  He was picked by Rams but due to having great team already, they had no room for him. Bucs picked him on the waivers and feel that we have find the depth at LB position and he can be a good playmaker with speed who may eventually become starter

Opinion always welcome……..as we built the Bucs one plyers at time to position towards champions…..:)
