Training Camp Reports Cards

[Beeznik]

Not a bad camp for us. Had a late 6th round QB go +7/+7.

[JesterBlaze]

Dale Strickland... tough blow for Dakota just when things were starting to look up for the Spirit.

"Situation"... Wow!

[iceman99]

We are happy with our draft... Not alot of great numbers... Up or down... Our one big drop was supposed to have been cut before camp...

In the end with get 6 starters on or roster from the draft... so we are happy..

[SteveBsFan]

Meh...

Hasting is taking an expected downward turn = expected
Reggie Denning going up 7 points = sweet
Ehret losing 13 points after being locked into a huge bonus = suck
Dusty Washington going up 8 points in his 9th year = cool

TC could have been worse, so I'll take it. I'm not happy putting a ton of time into learning new formations for nothing though.

[Argot]

The Situation just became.............

wait for it......


The Shituation

Doyle also took a big hit...good thing you already won it all...and you still have Castillo.

[markc]

great googly moogly! At least the first round of cuts will be very easy for me.

My biggest shock was my LDE Peterson, going from 52 to 39. Didn't see that coming, now I have a gaping hole in my pass rush.

[Pirates]

The Situation just became.............

wait for it......


The Shituation

I think his legs just gave out.

[JesterBlaze]

Yep.
Jamison: 2500+ Career carries.
Castillo: 2000+ Career carries.

1.1 Shane 'Gator' Matthews CB Alabama-Birmingham - Negotiations with Matthews began early. He became the first DB to go 1.1 in IFL history days before the official start of the draft. Gator has everything you look for in a number 1 overall selection. Expecting major movement from his BnR bar. Gator gains 1 point overall despite doubling his BnR bar. Don't think he quite catches the LAN CB in overall rating but I'll take the number 2 CB with the 100 int rate.
pre-camp 64/77
post camp 73/78
1.14 Kurt Everitt LT Illinois - The first OL to be selected in the draft. Everitt is big and raw. I expect him to struggle quite a bit while he adjusts to the pro game. I'm not sure Everitt is quite as good as his current 74 potential. Should be a much better than average starting LT for 7+ years in Little Rock. Not unexpected. Long way to go on those first two bars. Summer?
pre-camp 24/74
post camp 29/68
2.1 Gabe Patterson QB Nebraska - After May (1.2 Reno), the franchise QB I passed on, no other QB was selected in round 1. I decided Patterson was the best of the rest and jumped on him at the top of the 2nd. Needs a big camp and some movement in the AC & RD bars.+3 suggests his Acc & RD bars will never be good enough to start.
pre-camp 7/36
post camp 11/39
2.2 Quinn 'Mighty Quinn' Perry G Arizona - Sub 5.0 40 at OG is always a good thing. Another raw OL; Perry should develop into an outstanding run blocker. Will be a top run blocking G someday.
pre-camp 20/57
post camp 24/58
2.4 Alan Riley NT Southern Miss. - My list ran out and I didn't want to reach this early. Not sure what I have here. Strong, agile DT with ideal size. Lacks endurance. Better endurance than expected. Excells at some things my starter struggles with.
pre-camp 34/50
post camp 37/54
2.16 Donnie 'The Edge' Edmonds LB Louisiana St. - I'm always losing out on these types of players. Feels good to land one. Edmonds will make the switch to WLB in the 3-4. With Dustin Edwards on the roster there is no rush to get him on the field. The Edge has the potential to be a great pass rusher. 84 PRT; 93 PRS. What other bars?

post camp 17/32

.... so for those playing the home version it ended up being QB May for LT Everitt, QB Patterson and OLB Edmonds. May is currently 23/86. Obviously, I don't think he's nearly that good. Should've picked May.

3.4 Keith Keefe RB Syracuse - Keefe is a between the tackles runner with a little speed. Projects as a short yardage/change of pace type. Very volatile and my scout liked him so who knows. Nice piece just not quite enough there to be a feature back
pre-camp 35/44
post camp 40/47
3.17 T.J. Graff DE Appalachian St. - Similar to Riley except the utility made this pick. I wanted a speed rushing DE somewhere in the mid rounds so I don't hate this pick. Again no idea what I have. Desperately wanted James Tompkins who went one pick earlier to St Louis. Decent player. I already have a couple DE's with this skillset, though.
pre-camp 28/52
post camp 33/50
4.3 Levon Bullock WR Purdue - At this point I decide most of the guys I'm targeting in the late rounds are probably safe. Looking to go 2 for 3 in combine/bars/volatility for a few picks. Bullock brings good AD, GD, BPR and very volatile. Keeper. His bars should allow him to be an effective role player with a 40ish rate
pre-camp 13/40
post camp 17/39
5.2 Devin Rutledge K Georgia Tech - Signed a K in FA after mine walked. Rutledge has a chance to be better than both. Good combine and good balanced bars. Eh. The vet I signed busted some so he'll kick for us this year at least
pre-camp 38/65
post camp 39/58
6.1 Riddick Hutcheson RB California - Haven't had a RB who could help in the passing game since I've been here. Hutcheson was drafted for that singular purpose. Scout likes him. If he was a little lighter and faster I'd give him a look at wideout. Scout likes that idea too. Not the receiver I'd hoped for.
pre-camp 28/38
post camp 30/37
6.4 Oliver Brooks S Alabama - Noticed only 2 safeties on my roster and decided to draft one. No idea what possessed me to think this guy is the answer to that question. Didn't offer a rookie contract.
pre-camp 13/29
post camp 13/30
6.15 Desmond Bueter WR Tennessee - Volatile WR with a couple good combine score. Impressed my scout. Cut
pre-camp 12/27
post camp 15/30
7.3 Howie Rouff CB Arkansas - Good speed. Serviceable strength and position drill. Scout liked. Not sure. 60 man yes. 53 man ??
pre-camp 13/31
post camp 16/33
7.4 Troy Mohler C Tennessee - Fast center. No negative combine scores and decent bars. Not enough to displace the 2 C's I have

[Argot]

Should've picked May.

The entire fanbase in the Carolina's awaiting their team in 2023 thank you.

[Matt]

Doyle also took a big hit...good thing you already won it all...and you still have Castillo.

ya, kinda sucks but having had the opportunity to win it makes it bearable. Even tho we aged a bit, I think we can still be competitive this year. Castillo will be the man in Newark now and Doyle's ratings loss, tho significant, isn't the worst thing. He's still a top 10 corner instead of the best!!!

[tarcone]

The end is near.

[Coder]

My future QB didn't stay at 62.. he went down to 50.. with a QB style of Short Passes and a Short Passes rating of 24 (future), I doubt he'll by my future QB even :P..

My next superstar cornerback on the other hand.. whoa... Lee Warren clocks in at 82/82 after TC!!!

[JesterBlaze]

Another Alonzo Lake for Coder... great.

[r00k]

absolutely scary ... and fully developed at that ... glad he is in the NC.
