Scout Rating for Starters

When you are planning for draft/trade/free agent moves, what do you feel is the low end current estimate that you will accept in a starter. I know there are some variables, such as man to man versus zone for defensive players. But all specialty attributes aside, in a very general sense, what is the low end you will accept? Does it differ per position?

Current estimate? I think the guy has to be at least at the "fair" range (20+). If he's lower than that I'd probably bring in a mentor if I thought the guy was worth developing.

edit: but if we're talking about a veteran than it really varies by skillset. I'm willing to use some guys mose other people wouldn't.

I'm looking at a starting tacke that has a current estimate of 54 with a potential of 58. Do I re-sign him now in the last year of his contract or not. I think I will, because my backups are in teens to twenties range.

I have bigger problems though in some other areas such as defensive secondary. The starters are in the 30-40 range, but the backups stink.

No hard and fast rule. Individual ratings more important.

If you get stuck looking the current estimate rating you will end up paying more and getting less out of your team. Look at the individual ratings, sometimes a guy rated 24 will fit in your scheme better than a guy rated 66, and you will also save TONS of money.

I haven't started any DB's any better than that in a long time. You can get guys rated 90+ in one coverage scheme and be rated in the 30's. And they can put up all-pro numbers if you gameplan right.

Hits the nail on the head...
