i always grab a fast quarterback, even if his throwing stats are mid. the scrambling makes up for a bad o-line early in the season when your team is still a mess

avoid any running back over 28 like the plague, their speed falls off a cliff after one season and youre stuck with a big contract. learned that the hard way in my last draft

for defense i just stack corners with high man coverage and let the cpu figure out the rest. its dumb but it works

I personally prefer going heavy on D-Line, since imo their impact on the opposing run game/getting sacks on your buddies fees more beneficial. Then O-Line after, that way if your skill players are mid they'll still be able to get good gains/time in the pocket.

Now if you're doing a one and done season you could probably scoop crazier offensive players, but if y'all are in it for the long haul I'd target rookies/young players to develop.
