I'm curious how the 1st round picks ratings will change after the sim runs tonight, so here is the "before" pic based on my weights.

This is the "before" pic for my team, have a couple players whose weight I want to monitor.



Lethal Weapon (Martin Riggs) came out in 1987 as did the Simpsons (Homer Simpson) and Full House (Joey Gladstone). The Minnesota Twins (Kirby Puckett) won the 1987 World Series while the Max Headroom broadcast signal hijacking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion happened that year. Jerry Cantrell's band, Alice in Chains released their first CD in 1987, the same year televangelist Jim Bakker had his scandal.

I'm bracing for some heartbreak. It would be nice to find help for the secondary and OL, but I would settle for a QB of the future.

Well this training camp was quite disappointing in regards to my top picks. My first round OLB went -5 to a 86 ovr, my second round CB went -25 to a 56 ovr (second straight year with giant CB bomb in the first two rounds), and my third round LT went -3 into a 77 ovr. My booms came in the next 3 rounds with my fourth round RG going +9 to a 87 ovr, fifth round RB went +8 to a 72, and finally sixth round C went +3 to a 79.

5 booms and 2 busts. Overall a good draft, got some good value picks in the later rounds. Much needed new starters found for RB, LDE, and SS. Pretty happy with the results.

That's not good news for the other 31 owners. Our player weights are vastly different btw, not that it matters.

No major movement in Generals camp, Jim Bakker may or may not last through the preseason. Kind of a boring draft but I did get some needed OL depth so I'm happy.
