*spoilers* Who from 2008 do you use as a conerstone for rebuild?

What player do you always try to grab, no matter where you're drafting or even if you have to reach? Who do you try to pick up for sentiment or sheer bad-assity?

I try to grab Keith Rivers, the tackling machine.

Maybe Dre Moore as early as 2nd round to keep him under a decent contract, because he's so damned useful in every scheme.

I used to always grab Manningham, but it's too easy to pick up pass catchers who are worth a crap.

I'm off the Andre Woodson bandwagon, he's all steak and no sizzle. His #'s look good, but he just doesn't ever cut it for me on gameday.

R. Schuening is always a good stopgap in 4th or 5th round.

Who do you grab?

Like you, I try and trade up to grab Rivers, but if I can't I usually just draft Avril in the 3rd. I also take DT-Moore in either the 2nd or 3rd and Schuening in the 5th. CB-Zack Bowman is another one I always snag in the 4th, but that's mainly me just being a Husker Homer.

I also always grab SS-Horton and WR-Urrutia from the UDFA list after the draft is over.

My favorite players are Dre Moore, Rashard Mendenhall, Craig Steltz and if I have a crappy team, Chris Long. I've heard how good Josh Johnson is, but I've never gotten him/used him as a starter.

I have had Johnson and Woodson on my teams and ended up trading them in my 2nd season. Woodson takes forever to get rid of the ball and Johnson wants to run on every play, even when people are open. These are just my observations. Johnson I only used 1 preseason but I have had Woodson on more than 1 team and like was previously said, looked good in theory. I alway trade him to the Bears or the Jets. Keeps them sucking for a few years.

Im doing my first rebuild of a team and my rookie starters are

Qb Andre Woodson
Hb J. Buckingham
Fb Carl Stewart
LT Tony Hills
RE Calasis Campbell
DT Dre Moore
SS Kenny Phillips

I also have Mario Manningham not starting and other various rookies play back up roles

[Jazet]

Calais Campbell is a monster, and great value in mid 2nd round.

I wish Mike Peterson (TE) and Xavier Oman weren't dumb as bricks on the game. They never learn the playbook and are constantly screwing up the plays for me.

I can't believe that nobody has listed Edgar Bennett as a great sleeper WR. His potentail is low 90s and he's listed as super smart... I play as the Bucs, and what I've done on several instances (I've had to restart a couple of times, due to corrupted data) any how, I would trade away Derrick Brooks for a #1, trade Galloway for a #2, I've even gotten a #1 once. Then traded Hillard and a 3rd for Rice from the Vikings. I've also traded Ernest Graham for a 2nd or straight up for LenDale White. I'd then get rid of Garcia for a #1.

From there I draft Rivers, Ryan and Jenkins, I've managed to steal Edgar Bennett in the 3rd and Desean in the 4th.

i believe his name is earl?
