The Big Cat Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am of the belief that Buffalo will draft the best player on the board. But, since it may come down to a positional need, I figured the best (and certainly most accurate) way of assesing "need" areas would be to asses current player personell. The starting lineup is according to Billdaily.com and rating system is based completely on the Madden rating system and my own opinion. Feel free dispute. QB JP- 87 HB A-Train 81 FB Ciezlak 80 (on Madden he'd probably be a 76) TE Royal 84 WR1 Evans 93 WR2 Price 85 RT Walker 86 RG Whittle 84 C Fowler 83 LG Dockery 90 LT Peters 92 DT1 Tripplet 84 DT2 Williams 83 DE1 Schobel 95 DE2 Kelsay 87 MLB Crowell 88 OLB1 Spikes 91 (healthy) 85 (gimpy) OLB2 Ellison 85 CB1 McGee 86 CB2 Thomas (says me) 83 FS Simpson 88 SS Whitner 88 K Lindel 91 P Man 99 Nothing new. But according to this, there are only 5 needs and even they aren't THAT pressing. Also, while the LB corps has servicable numbers in my system, it probably could use a boost.

I don't know about McCargo. I don't know anything about him. And I don't think Whittle will start either. I think that walker will play RG and that Pennington will retain RT. Butler is also in that mix so it's hard to say. Again, this lineup is based on the depth chart on billsdaily.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 But what is our coaching staff rated in Madden? I think that plays into the analysis as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't understand these numbers - they look like today's chronic grade inflation...everybody is above average. How would the numbers look for last year's playoff teams, in comparison?

It's a rating system 1-100 and it seems that our mean is about 84 or 85 which is about right. A championship team would be 88-90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo....the difference between BUF, at 7 and 9, and IND at 13 and 3...is...six "Madden" points? Quite a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A championship team would be 88-90. i thought it was a little odd to look down the list right now and see NO ONE in the 70s... thats obviously a very biased grading. and if a champioship team in madden is 88-90, we are NOT an 85. im trying to keep it as positive as possible around here, but we are no way an 85. id give us, right now, a 78. we COULD be an 85 team this season. but we'll have to see about that.

Our DTs couldnt start on a good Texas or ohio high school FB team. Id consider that pressing. Our mediocre cover corners and our very average feature RB are also concerns. The team as it is has 6-10 written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
