Team Draft Complete

Great job on the draft yesterday. It went smoothly, and I think all of us are pretty happy with the teams we chose. There is a possibility that we may be adding an 8th and final player to RUTS 2, and that person would be required to take a team in the AFC West (SD, KC, Oak, or Denv).

The main reason we went ahead and did the draft BEFORE the game came out was that all of the Overall Team & Player ratings had been released. Also, we now know, from the time we get the game, who our team will be. In RUTS 1, we waited a few waeeks after the game came out, and almost all of us ended up having to draft a team that we'd NEVER played with. Doing the draft early will allow us to get some good practice in with our teams and work on our gameplans.

In the meantime, check out the updated "Coaches Corner" section on the right side of the blog. It has a lot of helpful info about RUTS 2 and Madden 10. Our team salary cap numbers are updated as of this morning. Review your team's numbers and let me know if you see any mistakes. Also, you can go check out your team's schedule and see what road your team must venture to earn a spot in the Super Bowl.

As soon as available, I will post a list of the Free Agents available in the Coaches Corner section. Tony Dungy is predicting that Mike Vick will be picked up by a team this week, so cross your fingers that it's one of your teams...it would be like a "free" free agent for you!
