I see a Superbowl in Arizona's future, or 4 wins this season.

I got 2 WRs in the 90 range, 1 (a bit undersized) LG in the 90s, 1 C in the 80s, 1 SS and 1 DT around 70. Not bad for this draft class, would take that every year.

After my rookie DT's performance in the first game, I redid my DT weights. I would have never drafted the guy if I was paying attention, but I'll be damned if he didn't make me rethink a few things on the DL.

Which Rookie DT?

I wouldt pay too much attention to the preaseason games. I thing i won more games in preaseason last year than in the regular season.

The starter and how he's playing against starters. His numbers don't stand out, but he takes a double team every play and collapses the pocket. To be fair, my weights shifted closer to an earlier version of my DT weights. Back from the 0.3.x days when SP wasn't the only thing that mattered in pass protection.

I use preseason to evaluate players

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 :-).

Lim is my rookie starter. Flemming is my other rookie. He was drafted by KC and cut, so I picked him up because he's strong and can tackle.

I don't look at height at all right now because you can't track it in your weights. I only look at physical weight in conjunction with other skills like Speed or Strength.
