Whats up with this? I draft a DE in the second with the intent of moving him to DT.(maybe) He is 6-5 275 i figured that is heavy enough if I add few pounds in him. My only options to change positions are to move him to the other DE spot or any of the LB spots. That just seems kind of strange. Oh well at least we have a few DE now.

275 lb. is light for a DT. I don't think it's light enough to censor a position switch IMO but light nonetheless.

[eckman]

yes it's a little light but i would think they would let you bulk up a bit to get near 300. I wonder if the game changes it mind once you hit a certain weight and will let you change it next season. As long as the guy doesn't bust in training camp I am happy either way with both DE i drafted.

[JesterBlaze]

Yeah the game is hardcoded at certain thresholds from what I know and if you bump up this season (only a 10 lb max I think though or around there) you might be able to change his position next season. But I think you take a ratings hit which shouldn't happen since you intend him to be DT from the start but the game treats him as a 1 year DE turned DT.

I think.

I have 2 guys on my list and an open trade of 3.32 to any team for 2 future 3rds in the trade block forums - 1st to post in that thread gets it. I'm leaving the forums for a bit now but will be back. If roadrash picks quickly and I'm not back yet feel free to move my pick to anyone who's posted in my trade block thread or select the first guy from my list.

Is the draft timer wrong again or has RR's pick time passed?

[Cringer]

Should have passed.

Wow, the first four players I've selected are rated 65 or better, including my possible second round steal of G Hodges, 80+ rated.

I may have fixed up my secondary for the next five or so years with two corners and a safety in this year draft. Looking good so far. Hopefully, the ratings stick after training camp. I can't believe my new safety had a 40 time of 4.30. That's pretty freaky for a safety.
