Before voting started I thought I would start a thread about my feelings on other peoples teams and expalin why I will vote the way I do. Please reply if you do not agree and feel free to critique my GM moves.
Vikings:Starting out with the blockbuster you never got near enough for Randy Moss. No great young stars picked up with no 1st so u got older, Seau is awesome but not 3 mill good and Hartwell is not 4 mill good along with a few other players overpaid, draft was a little weak a good LB but Shazor I doubt will become anything and u never really needed a QB. On the positive side Gates and Caldwell were a sweet pick-up and u won that trade and while Dillion does not really match how the Vikes play at all he is a sweet player and u won that trade as well.
Eagles:Good but Eagles were good before hand. LT was a sweet pick-up and u ripped him off in that trade. The Chad Johnson and Owens trade also was a definate win for you. So on the offensive side u did well but defensive not so much. Doss was a weak pick up and your CB's are much weaker. This leaves a large hole in your secoundary you never had before. Another weakness is your receiving in draft you tried but still no help for Johnson and he wont be able to do what Owens did and still no good TE. Not many picks in the draft but they were high ones.
Ravens:Wow definately going for all or nothing. Vick trade with me I think i ripped you off, Vick for a QB I feel is just as good along with a steady tackle and 2 firsts, McGahee trade was good but he is totally unproven with only one good year and i personally would have sticked with Lewis, 9 mill on Harrison I think was too much but your team had a massive amount of spending room so why not, no draft picks in the top 5 rounds really hurts, Jonas Jennings 5.5 mill again was a little much. Definate improvement but you should have improved more with the amount of money you had and made some in my opinion shaddy decisions.
Steelers:Main thing to turn me off was final trade, you got some great players but that is not a trade a team does when there this close to the Superbowl it is a trade they do when those great players mean little and they need to rebuild. Other then that nothing to major you had a good team to start with Jamal will not be that final piece and you did fill in for Burress well until you then traded Ward away. You did alright in Fa with no real major pick-ups (Edwards Wiggins not bad) and had a great draft but again not what you needed. I would have tried to pick-up those players to take you to the next level ie.Rolle instead you took a step back and set up for the future. If you were a re-building team A+ because you're the farthest thing from rebuilding not nearlly as good
Jets draft went good 4 good players and some good depth later on, no trades???, I know you made some I just don't know what they were so I cant decide if they are good or bad, 6 mill on Baxter is too much but I think you needed to do it, while Shaun Williams is a sweet pick up. Not much to talk about you never did much which works for some teams but not the Jets who needed to take that next step which a big trade could have done for you, (little better in the WR and secoundary while a little worse in the D-line and line backer) you will definately get some crap for not replacing your kicker. I think the Jets are a huge name or two away from SB and you never made a major step I would have gone after a Moss, Chad Johnson, Moulds, Harrison or T.O and I know you got Porter but that doesn't cut it for me. Mainly for you I think your team is alright but I don't know where some players went or how you got others so I cant really rank you
Titans: I think you had trouble deciding whether or not you wanted to re-build or go for the chapionship because you are sort of stuck in the middle. The Moss trade was a good one for you but only if you put players around him, ie. A Quarterback. By the time Smith is good enough Moss will be gone and so will all those great young stars and draft picks you could have gotten for him. Barlow waste of 3 mill not because of his talent but because of the great talent of Brown ahead of him. Abraham again fine pick-up if you are going for the SB but Abraham and Smith should never be on the same starting line-up. Abrham should not be on a re-building team which you should have tried to do and a rookie QB should not be on a team trying to contend. Also again I have no idea who you drafted besides Smith obviously.
Saints:Traded draft picks away which first of all I dont really like it just means you got older and you did it quick before alot of GM's were even here. Good trade to get Chad Johson bad trade when you let him go IMO. Bowens? Sapp at DE? Also I think you definatley lost more trades then you won. 2nd and 3rd for a 4th and a 6mill Surtain. Alot of trades probably too many I don't think you had much of a plan and just winged it every day. T.O will definately not shine like he did in Philly and you lost all of the rest of your recievers. I see you like the Dolphins but you spent to much for them Bowens 2 mill, Surtain almost 6 and you traded away good players/picks for them
sorry no time for spelling mistakes don't take anything I say personally just my thoughts.
