Draft booms and busts.

[Cringer]

Although I thought this was supposed to be taken care of in one of the last patches, it wasn't. You can still see who is a boom or bust amongst the rookies before they are signed.

So, with a quick look so far, Columbia seems to have both.

Their 2nd rd. RB Marty Webber seems to be a backup after all, as he has dropped in potential.

Then Columbia's 5th rd. pick, LB Lawrence Linthicum, looks like a first rounder now.

Another one I see is Pittsburgh's 4th round pick, NT K.C. Cajigal. Nice boom there.

Holy ! I didn't even notice that! Haha I was pissed for days that I couldn't trade into the second round to get my DE , now this guy is rated 11 points above him!

[Cringer]

Yeah, nice d-line there Mr. Big.

Noticed another one, smaller though I think. Lansing's 4th round C is better I think. Not a ton, but still a good future center now.

I think Pittsburg wins the draft review. Nice haul there.

Nice, I just started writing the damn thing and you are already giving it away.... :shoot:

What is considered a boom or bust, and what is just refining the numbers?

What is considered a boom or bust, and what is just refining the numbers?

I find a boom to be a guy who was a 4th rounder with potential in the 40's who is now a 70 or so to be a boom.

A guy who had potential of 60 or so, and is now in the 30's is a big bust to me.

There are smaller moves of the potential numbers, so some may be borderline booms or busts, or maybe just a few point difference the his pre-draft grade.

I guess the boom/bust is in the eye of the beholder, and what you think one is. Theones I have mentioned are 100% booms/busts to me.

my second round pick OLB Jonathan St. Louis is up 6 to 73 as far as future potential. Not a lot, but significant..puts him up there in Barber territory

and Vancouver's new TE Chad Strong looks like he could be the best TE from draft now...

Any booms or bust on my squad?

I would say no on both, nothing major anyways.

What about me?

[Cringer]

What about me?

Jay Caro is about 43 potential now. Kidding.

Your 5th round WR is in the low 50's, I assume that is up a little but not sure.

[Cringer]

Looks like SLC safety Shanahan taken in the 4th round is a boom too.

Hmm.. I got an A for my draft.. guess I'm a football genius ;-) .. lowest potential of my guys is Chuck Jalbert, fifth round pick at 48.

You didn't get that in the Sports Page draft review, do out shortly.
