We jump back to
offense with round 9,
selecting speedy Corey
Bradford, and then back
to defense for Eagles
right end Ndukwe Kalu
in round 10.
Tip
It's easy to get wrapped up with skill ratings such as
Speed, Awareness, Catching, etc., as you peruse the
draft lists. However, don't overlook the INJ rating. All
the talent in the world won't do you any good if your
player is on injured reserve for most of the season.

1. Quarterback: The leader of the offense
2. Halfback: We value Speed, Awareness, Acceleration, and
Breaking Tackles
3. Center: Strength up the middle—it works for baseball
and football
4. Defensive End: An unstoppable pass rusher and run stuffer
5. Middle Linebacker: An anchor for our run and pass defense
6. Offensive Tackle: Our star quarterback needs protection, and
our future running back needs a few holes to run through
7. Offensive Guard: Strength, pass blocking, run blocking, and
a little speed for pulling
8. Offensive Tackle: A strong tandem is critical
9. Wide Receiver: Speed, Acceleration, and Catching ability
are the keys
10. Defensive End: Another quick, strong defender who hates
quarterbacks
11. Cornerback: A good cover man with enough speed to play
man defense
12. Outside Linebacker: Speed, Strength, Awareness, and
Tackling ability
13. Defensive Tackle: An immovable object for the defensive
front; we also like at least one strong pass rusher (Speed,
Awareness, Tackling) at tackle
Awareness, Tackling) at tackle
14. Strong Safety: A run stopper who can blitz and intimidate
receivers over the middle
15. Wide Receiver: Another great pair of hands for the defense
to worry about
16. Outside Linebacker: Defense wins championships, and this
pick rounds our trio
17. Tight End: Run blocking is important, but we want our tight
end to catch the ball. Speed here is a bonus
18. Cornerback: It takes two. If our first cornerback has blazing
speed, we look for run stopping ability here
19. Free Safety: A ball hawk with speed to play center field
20. Offensive Guard: With studs at the tackles and one
outstanding guard, an average quality #2 guard is okay.
21. Fullback: Run blocking and the ability to catch an
occasional pass
22. Halfback: A good backup is critical over a long season
23. Kicker: Obviously, we are more interested in scoring
touchdowns than kicking field goals
24. Punter: Controller technique is more important than
punter ratings
25. Cornerback: Speed, Awareness, and Catching ability for the
extra defensive back
The following Draft Priority List will help you draft an entire starting team with your first 25 picks. With your core in place, concen-
trate on wide receivers and interior line backups (offense and defense) with your next several picks. After that, it's best player
available as you select backups for every position. Use reserve wide receivers as punt and kick returners.

Draft Priority List
As you move into the latter stages of the draft, check the
Breakdown screen to see which roster spots need filling.
The draft will not let you take more than what you need
for a position, until the required number of players is
drafted. However, it is important to track the distribution
of players or you may end up with poor quality at posi-
tions that have been overlooked.
