RealGM

Scenario:

You've recently become the GM of the Los Angeles Tigersharks, a new NFL expansion team. Due to recent salary cap breakdowns and implications, almost all star players are now available. Being a new expansion team, you possess the #1 overall pick for the upcoming NFL Draft. However, it is a weak draft, and your owner is wanting to acquire a name to sell seats, meaning moo-lah, while also giving the team a better chance of winning games, now and in the future. Specifically, he is looking for a player that can be a face of the franchise and a great player for at least seven seasons.

However, these players are declared unavailable by their teams:

Offense:
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons
Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings
Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions
Joe Thomas, OT, Browns

Defense:
Mario Williams, DE, Texans
DeMarcus Ware, DE/OLB, Cowboys


{There also the only guys I think are the only clear cut winners at their position}
===================================================================

Anyways, your job is to submit to your owner the player that best fits these circumstances for each NFL position, excluding the above players. Using draft picks, your owner is looking at you to acquire at least a few of your names submitted.

What's with Steve Hutchinson? Is he really going to be a great player when he's 36, 37, 38?

Mawae has 3 seasons left, tops.

Hmm, I thought hutchinson was younger. Maybe not him. I will keep him as my pick though. My team could always draft a guard later

I agree Kevin Mawae doesn't have much left in the tank.

Tried to be a bit different from everyone

I forgot about DeMeco Ryans...

To be honest about Mawae, I couldn't think of a center so I really just took off the one I remembered(the article about how he wouldn't play against Ravens). I do like the Ryan Kalil on the Panthers though.

Yeah I don't know about having Tommie play DE, with him being a DT and all.
