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.

Biggest bust of the first round was Pittsburgh WR Jason Harper, losing 21 points. With his 90 speed he can still be useful and productive though.

Biggest boom was Florida CB Freddie Brewer +8, and Houston CB Michael Skaggs was +7.

I don't know why the numbers don't match up with the pictures. Both pics use my weights, which I did not change. According to the pics, Brewer went up 10 points but when I click on the player card, it says +8. The numbers are different on most, but not all of these players.

Nice camp, gotta love when your top 2 picks boom. It's pretty funny your bust WR's name is Bye, because he's going bye bye off your roster eventually.

Yes, I thought the name fit the bust, the K as well, Bury, may have to bury him!

I desperately wanted Skaggs with my 2.1 pick. Not looking forward to facing that guy.

I forgot to flip my view to "progress" on the last screenshot ... the big question with the QB is whether he'll ever improve his actual rating with such low accuracy. I predict he goes 1/48 on passes in the preseason.

Yeah rookie QBs typically need at least a season to become serviceable. That's the dilemma....if you play him his rookie year....he will progress faster but the results will be brutal. I usually sit rookie QBs their rookie season unless my team is horrible anyway. I've found they dont reach their full potential until season 4 or 5

Our first rounder hit which was critical as I've now got a rock steady starting SS. 4th rounder bombed out but it was an OL depth piece. Between that nothing which shook us either way. 1 hit on a +, other a slight - but they'll be what they are. Wasn't living and dying on them.

First Rounder, the MLB, was an absolute need. I didn't like the pick, but he was the best available for that position at the time. Feel lucky he only broke a point, as that pick had the feeling of a total bust.

No 2nd Round pick. The 3rd round was the OL. He's going to be a nice backup at any spot, maybe eventually be a starter.

The 4th Round RB/WR is an intriguing prospect. Not a high rating, but good atts at certain spots. I'm anxious to see his performance in preseason.

Rounds 5, 6, & 7 all busted and will be preseason fodder. I don't think the Wranglers got better with this draft - treading water would be the most positive result. My main goal of the draft was not attainable with my slot and lack of 2nd round pick.
