Jack English Draft

[erra]

I created this guide using the colts and by doing individual workouts for each player on the draft I also heard that it has players of certain stats but random names and from same school. so I tried listing player info potential overall and biography info. I only listed those with potentials over 85 since that is the requirement for the goal. I also listed my philosophies feel free to make suggestions.

Nice work erra.

I'll add this to my massive stack of info about the game. I'm gonna end up with a whole library devoted to this game at this rate.

Word of warning about Jake Scott. I drafted him on the recommendation of my gm..plus his numbers looked fantastic. But after a year and a half with a 2:1 ratio of ints to tds I traded him. Before trading him I changed all of my coaching staff except for the oc. I had his overall to an 89 but he didnt get better. I ended up trading for jason campbell and he had a por bowl year.

Gonna redo this draft guide under the demonolith format. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...t-guide-3.html for more info.

Im looking at this draft path. Any other players i should look out for

[CW McGraw]

JR Meyers in year 2 is great. He's a FB that can play RB. Think John Riggins.

I believe this draft is a replica of the 1983 draft the many consider the best draft ever, and is known as the year of the QB.That year had six QBs taken in the first round three went on to be Hall of Famers, two had good careers and only one was a bust.
Jack English is supposed to be John Elway who went to Stanford and went number one overall to the Baltimore Colts. John however was also picked in the first round of the MLB draft to the Yankess. He told the Colts that he would rather play baseball then for them.The Colts then traded his rights to the Broncos.
Kelly James is Jim Kelly who went 14th overall to the Buffalo Bills(who also had the 12th pick overall and took TE Trent Hunter out of ND who they then traded to the Rams for QB Vince Ferragamo). Kelly told the Bills that he would rather play in the USFL which he did for two years with the Houston Gamblers where he put up ungodly numbers like 5800 passing yards and 55 TDs in a single season, with Hershall Walker as his RB, (Ironically his backup QB was Steve Young who opted to backup Kelly in the USFL rather then play for the Buccaneers). However the Bills eventually got Kelly when the USFL folded in 85.
Moreno is Dan Marino who went to Pitt fell in the draft amid accusations of drug and alcohol abuse he lasted to pick 26( remember it was only a 28 picks per round draft) some conspiracy theorists say it was actually the Dolphins that put these rumors out there so he would fall to them.
The other three QBS where Ken OBrien who had a good career with the Jets where if memory serves me right made two Pro Bowls. Tony Eason to the Patriots who had a good albeit injury plagued career, and the lone bust of the group Todd Blackledge to the Chiefs. I always think it is iroinic because Todd Blackledge is now a Draft Guru with I believe ESPN telling you who the busts are going to be in upcoming drafts, and I wonder if the Chiefs would have liked his crystal ball he has now in 83.
It wasnt just QBs that made this group special it was top to bottom covered with top notch talent. It was the first year that the NFL allowed underclassmen to enter the NFL draft, the influx of underclassmen made this group so deep that Richard Dent went in the 6th round to the Bears and became the cornerstone for the famed 85 Bears Defense and world champions. The NFL repealed the rule the next year allowing only SRs into the 84 draft making that one of the weakest drafts ever. The rule however was reversed again a few years later.
