We get the next ben johnson: Madden 25 Lions franchise part 2

at some point those are all great things to acknowledge Zack don't really need Zack Hunning him he was just brought in for depth purposes but oh my God you guys love Zack oning him why do you love Zack oning him that much I mean right it says left outside linebacker is one of your needs not right outside linebacker but honestly f it sure why not I think that pck has some Boomer bu potential where it's 30 now but it could become like like a mid 20s I have to pick up a center to replace Frank rag now so I'm willing to throw in another player yeah DJ reader can always move to defensive end we already resigned yeah and then paska will be here so Marcus Davenport can kind of he can kind of go too for being honest with you we'll send him somewhere else though we'll use him to recoup some draft Capital after we make this trade so Zack Cunningham will go we'll keep with Dory Jackson for now he'll he'll be a next year guy who we lose I'll offer Brandon Joseph I guess I will no longer offer Brandon Joseph because you guys do not appreciate what I offer um I'll throw in a sixth round pick fine screw it all right so with this year's second a future third fourth and this year's Sixth and Zach cutting him to move up into the first round a bit of a a bit of a gamble trade for sure but this early on I don't see the Raiders getting me a pick worse than 30 if anything it only has potential to be a better pick um and I'm going to sign two players someone to replace Frank ragn now because he's heard for seven weeks and then um and then someone else to take over for um the depth we have from the injuries uh well we lost our chance at DJ Humphrey that kind of sucks um Andre Dillard's all right I mean I guess Gabe Jackson probably make the most sense he fits the scheme all right we'll sign Gabe Jackson and then we'll sign [Music] um do we need to sign another Corner no we really don't don't need to sign another Corner oh Lorenzo Carter's in fre agency and Anthony Bar those are all great options um oh I have 53 Man monster okay we're golden Oh Marcus Davenport was the guy I was going to trade H you know what that's fine actually no let's just do it hold on he's like hardly in the rotation so we'll we'll offer Marcus Davenport which I actually do like Marcus Davenport by the way but Marcus dport can get us Denzel pyramid and 27s huh you know I could consider this trade hold on denel parman do you have two years left on your deal or one one um I I actually do like Marcus Davenport it's just I don't think I'm going to resign him that's why I'm like oo maybe I should go get picks and stuff aren't you 27 if we don't get to a contract extension by next season no not by next season by next week then I'll look at making some trades that's that's my game plan there okay I actually don't know how long am mon Rob St Brown's going to be out so I'm not going to rush to trade um I'm not going to rush to trade Christian uh Christian Watson at the moment uh we lost the Cowboys damn it all right um how long is St Brown out for I know Frank R's out for like five more weeks oh he's back now okay Frank rag now will be back in two weeks and St Brown is back back from his injury awesome um can we negotiate a contract with Marcus Davenport if he wants to stay with the team cool great he only wants a one-year deal though I think I'll find plenty of depth I don't I don't think it's worth me resigning him when I can find plenty of depth at the same position I do like Marcus Davenport I genuinely like Marcus Davenport I just can't fathom that that deal at the moment is worth it uh Brandon Joseph maybe I am going to trade Marcus Davenport for tra picks at this point because I think the the trade I made for um Hassan reic now that we've resigned him we'll pay dividend so at this point um he's not getting snaps and I'm pretty sure he wants to be a starter somewhere and he's young enough to where a team might say oh okay we'll give you something for him um he's a Left End what team really wants a Left End you want a Right End what team really wants a Left End Not Right End Left End Left End left hand Left End going once going twice maybe it's a you maybe it's a you it's a me Mario who wants a Left End Chargers you want a left end oh well makes sense you did offer me freaking you did indeed offer me uh Denzel pamman and draft picks obviously Pick 10 is off the table but I'm just going to see how close I get it's like what if I offered like 30 pick 30 and um I'll pick 28 now and Markus Davenport for 10 that is way closer than it should be that is way closer than it should be um do I do I believe the Chargers pick is actually going to be that good though is it too early on to tell is this is a product of them not having a high overall receivers cuz why is your pick projected 10 uh Gus the bus is a pretty good running back you have Justin Herbert your defense is decent I mean I'm not really convin you do have to play the Raiders who for some reason being good and you have to F the face the Chiefs so maybe I do make this trade maybe maybe I do maybe I throw in a fourth okay maybe a fourth doesn't do anything um I'm not giving you Christian Watson on top of that that'd be way too much to give you cuz then that pick wouldn't be as valuable because you would just be a better team I'm willing to throw in the old linemen who are going to leave my team as well I'm willing to throw them into the trade like coyote is just going to leave me so you can have coyote as well I think I'm going to trade for this Chargers pick I think it might be a smart investment it also might be me over buying the fact that I think I can win this trade when I probably won't but I somewhat convinced that this is a good decision three fourths pick 28 projected Marcus Davenport and coyote aiki a aosa and we get the projected at the moment Pick 10 and the reason why I'm okay with this is because I think I might have more Boomer bust potential with that 10th projected pick than with the Raiders pick because the Raiders they were good in the last few Sims that I did anyway and I kind of thought that there was a chance that they might just be a lot worse um David baktiar is cool but he's on a one-year deal and I could have signed him in fre agency so no miles Murphy no Portland Sutton don't need more receivers so now second round pick that is still cool but now Greg Nome we do need corner and we do need Corner oh we generally need Corner um here's my problem with getting cusome I want to but the money is still going to be such a problem unless he's under contract uh no you offer to me jack [ __ ] for Kevin CER so [ __ ] yourselves um like Jaylen Thompson but no Asante Samuel that would be pointless because I could have just given you my first round pick for Sant Samuel beforehand there's plenty of good trades we could could do yep there's a lot of good trades we could do however I will wait till the draft just in case the Chargers end up being worse and the pick's more valuable and if the pick ends up being less valuable okay we just draft a player like Kyon Williams that's an elad offer it's very good I have Gibbs and Monty so it's not necessary but otherwise that's not a bad offer at all Oda my defense is kind of I do need a linebacker I get a second a third yeah I mean sign me up man PL of good trades in my opinion Nico Collins Tony Pard we're going to keep the pick for now I think moving on for Marcus dport was smart because we paid J um we paid J we paid James Houston the fourth we paid James Houston the fourth and because of that uh we want him to play develop and Marcus dport is like four years older so our receivers are healthy again Christian Watson if we want to trade him during the draft we can we have plenty of depth at receiver as it is between our B our big three uh Center we're going to be getting back right Greg now soon um ideally it would make more sense to play Graham clas out with Center than than Greg Jackson but we'll play both what we got um we got Malcolm Rodriguez here someone else on the linebacker Court must have gotten hurt cuz I thought there was another guy here at some point I will say this though are you getting a lot of sacks here's what I need to know are you getting a lot of sacks yes or no two and a half two and a half across five games that's not the worst I think we might be better playing him at linebacker if Malcolm Rodriguez even has like a sack and a half then I'm convinced that that's true he has half sack okay so maybe I'm wrong here but I'm going to do a full-on commit to the Run Stop game what are you doing here at right end you're a power rusher can DJ reader be a power rusher cuz DJ reader could move to Right End could we can move DJ reader to Right End hear me out DJ reader can become our right end he could be our power rusher there Le McNeil could be our starting D tackle and then Hassan Reit could be our starting right outside linebacker we could do do this and then we could do this I'm going to try this out for a week and see how they do uh going to put Kirby Joseph back here going to start Bryant Branch uh tyan Arnold please stay in the slot you're a superstar that makes me so happy by the way uh I'd prefer you in this lot you know what f it make r on this lot then we can trade a Dory Jackson next week that' be a next week problem if you're a superstar Corner sign me up buddy Return Man or strip we'll give you a strip because you're not really playing as a return man so actually I think he can be he could be a return man can he all right hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on oh no we can't okay never mind if he was a hold man I would I would have tried it so next week our offensive line should be good again and we can figure out what we're going to do with ad dor Jackson and we can figure out um there's any other big loov we should do actually TR trade to Dory Jackson now I think next week's the trade deadline so what's going to our big trade deadline move you ask uh traded Dory Jackson that's kind of B uh I'm basically just looking for some draft picks CU I've traded way too many of those you give me Tyler alir for dor Jackson I don't need Tyler alir but that honestly makes sense for me just to get the best player I can uh why are you guys so bad I mean I'm not far away from getting this second round pick I think Tyler oir does he just not have trade value or you guys just really really want a corner what's your corner situation you have AJ Terrell oh yeah never mind okay makes sense uh you can give me I'm going to pretend like I can get all those just cuz I'm curious what you'll say to me you're actually not too far away from saying yes that's the funny oh my God Tyler I you a fourth and a fifth oh hell yeah man um we're just going to do some flipping real quick so it's we got a fourth and a fifth so far and then we could probably trade Tyler alir for some P picks as well there's no point in keeping him is there what if we move sonon vaki to safety we could move him to safety and just keep Tyler not like it would make sense but we could what can we get for Tyler Alex Singleton and a pick I'll keep Tyler I'll keep Tyler till draft time if we want to move him we will and if we have any injuries vaky can always move over to safety that's what I'll do there so we'll Sim this week against the Vikings and the Vikings like to be good in the Sim sometimes as they beat me nice um any last second offers for Christian Watson uh Dawson Knox is on the bills now I mean on the Vikings did the Vikings trade Dawson Knox there or I just didn't remember doson Knox being on the Vikings um a 7 million cap hit if he's under contract if he's under contract I will take that trade because that trade to me makes a lot of sense I like to utilize my tight ends Doc and KN I can definitely get involved when I have him and Sam lorta uh Alexander Johnson yes we need the defense the defense could be helpful but we're not really getting any great defensive trades I'm not sending him to the Eagles I just me giving myself more competition Gerald ever on the bear I get him a sixth and a seven um I don't want to just straight up accept this trade but I want to I want I want to counter off for that trade I like that trade enough to consider trying to make something happen let me go talk to the Vikings give myself that one other ball catcher I like the idea hey a long time ago we gave you TJ hackinson so maybe you can give us Daw Knox who's on a threeyear deal that'll be my tight end uh my tight end core I'll have um Sam laort Brock Wright and um and uh Dawson Knox they also offered me two sevs last time maybe they were low balling me maybe I can get a little bit more if I play my cards right I understand they're going to say no and that's fine they probably should I would think they were really dumb if they said yes to that trade not going to lie I mean I'm can I get do and KNX and I don't know can I get multiple forts or something I know so ask for a bunch of mid picks has some mid picks with doo pick out the fourth pick out the other fourth okay Dawson Knox and two fifths see they only offered me Dawson Knox and 27ths now getting Dawson Knox do fifths I thought about this oh the only thing I didn't think about is the fact that Dawson Knox is going to cost more money but ah it is what it is so now as much as I like James Mitchell James Mitchell might have to get traded because Brock wri is making like what $4 million a year or something like that he's getting paid money he's get yeah he's getting paid so James Mitchell can go Brock wght can be tight end three tight end positions all set receiver looks good don't have to draft the receiver worry about receiver running back is all fine where is s vaki I don't know where he went but that makes me sad I'll find him left tackle left guard uh he should be back soon that's SC I'm just going to play Christian mahogany at this point I'm just going to play Christian mahogan it's fine maybe I'll offer stepen Gilmore no I'll keep him for now I don't I don't know much about Kenny Logan if I'm just being honest with you I'll offer these three guys in a package and I'll just go pick up some guys on onee deals and we'll call it a day that'll be my big trade deadline uh Giants Let's help each other out a little bit here maybe y'all can toss me a future third and six round pick if you're feeling nice oh for some reason I thought the young guys would have more value uh how about a fourth and a six how about a fourth W not even a fourth oh damn okay my bad fifth sixth and seventh one pick for each player I'm just kidding I kind of figured that'd be too much all right cool awesome awesome uh let me look at my dep chart and and see where I should pick up some guys on onee deals just to fill out the roster I probably didn't need to trade uh Greg Jackson for that reason but it's okay it's whatever uh tight ends looking good receivers looking good running back looking good oh there's VY okay quarterback looks good I'm just going to let it's only one more week mahogany can play center this one week it's okay all right linebacker looks fine uh put Brian put Brian Joseph not Brian Joseph Brian Branch Brian Branch go back there cool thank you uh DJ reader go back to playing D tackle we're not playing you at linebacker anymore Andis rra over am Robertson K Freeman's our returner uh you put Kirby Joseph in the slot uh you know what yeah let Kirby Joseph play lot that's fine Kirby Joseph could play a lot am mon raw as our slot receiver running backs are the fine okay this is the best our team's going to look for now um we can just sign some one your deals if anyone wants to join the team last second I mean there plenty of like okay guys we could add like yeah there's plenty of okay guys we could add we could add John Jenkins uh we can add Don Harmon yeah let's bring Don Harmon back to the team why not all that's 49 players so we can add four more some depth that uh detac will give us John [Music] Jenkins um some oine depth o line depth could be good give me give me Mt Collins doesn't wear shoes um maybe I don't need much help actually o air abdulla um yeah just give me like one more o lman I think we're cooking bad Elfin bad Elfin it is you're not even better than Christian mahogany but you know but for depth purposes we'll take you CU injuries do happen in football well this is one of those occasions where I wasn't planning on competing too too much year one I was just going to make a few trades and then send the season but at this point I figured I'd go and in I like that that looks good I like this this looks good I'll put you back here all right do this one more time you there you there okay all right at this point we're just simming every week we're going to try to compete and then we'll get to the playoffs into our offseason and see what position we're in um when can I see mock draft 2 I want to see mock draft 2 I've only SE mock draft one so far I don't remember when mock out 2 comes out so we'll just wait CU now I have Pick 10 charges were projected to get Demitri Campell well I just I traded a lot of pics for oan reic at Mike Evans so oh answer media question yeah let's talk to the media real quick what's up media well consistent okay I should read the question uh it has been up and down the first half of your for your team this season what do you expect for the second half the season I truly believe the level that we could take it to in the Super Bowl yep goes terion Arnold said Super Bowl we're going for the Super Bowl baby are we four and four you're damn right we're four and four yeah lucky that's a really cool sound and it's also really [ __ ] loud oh finally marked out two out and we get to face the Jags we have a 92 offense so the offseason's going to just be revamping their defense basically uh the Patriots projected the first pick they ideally taking a linebacker so with the Falcons should have done it in real life uh projectively you're taking a defensive end defensive end wow this entire first six picks are all defensive players they're all either linebackers or Ms um the Browns are going to be going receiver which is interesting because they have Jerry Judy and Amari Cooper so we'll worry about that later uh the Giants are think about going quarterback smart smart smart smart uh we no longer have the projected 10th pick we now have the projected 14th pick but Ed Minter is the projected guy we could take with 14 which is fine yeah the pick dropped a few uh totally expected the pick might end up even being a top 20 instead of being a Pick 10 but again um had a lot of Boomer bust potential and if we traded the pick when it was 10 thinking that we could get a hall of assets and then if the charges end up being worse well then we missed out on a potential top five pick so got to make your moves when you can um don't need a tackle yeah know definitely don't need tackle uh defense is going to be the right we go with our first round pick regardless of what pick it is um there's still a world where we trade the pick that we got from the Chargers but I'm not going to do that I will look at league transaction cuz I know I got Dawson Knox I'm just curious was that a trade was was Dawson Knox a trade to the Vikings or was this a real life thing that I just never knew that happened oh okay no it was it was in the game okay so the bills signed Allan Robinson they traded Dawson Knox to the Vikings for safety Josh Josh matelis and a seventh round selection and then they've released um Terrell burges interesting okay not like I understand that's not the craziest trade ever but that is an interesting trade I would not have expected a trade like that to happen uh they're definitely giving dton King the um the goahead which I can respect um I'm going to look at I don't know why I would look at franchise tag at this point um let's look at traded players what what's the rest of the league doing the Chargers traded a sixth round pick to the Jaguars and required the rights to De du okay uh yeah I traded some guys for some picks I did that uh I Trad Christian Watson to the Vikings yep for um for Knox I traded Dory Jackson to the Falcons and in return I got a draft pick and I got Tyler oir I trade for Pick 10 but the Chargers any any trades that are like crazy that I didn't notice Jaylen Warren to the Bengals inner division trade for Hunter Renfro Jaylen Warren for Hunter Renfro and a six round pick hunter rro and a six round pick for Jaylen Warren interesting very interesting okay Eagles trade wait Eagles trade right tackle McKai beckon to the Chiefs so they signed McKai beckon and then traded the Chiefs smart move Eagles give yourself more competition Drake Jackson goes to Giants Ed Ingram gets traded to the Packers I'm assuming that was part of the oh never mind that was part of the Christian Watson tra I traded Christian Watson and then the Packers also traded uh for uh corner from the Vikings INR okay so no huge huge trades but a lot of definitely interesting trades I think we got the best player from a trade from all the trades I've looked at uh I'm not resigning anyone else so we could just s to playoffs but I'm just kind of watching what happens the Bears have an 84 overall defense makes sense they have montz sweat they do have some more assets on defense than I do we're 7 and five currently I think if we could end the season with only seven losses that would be ideal I think a 10 and seven season would be ideal at the moment um just my opinion though um we get a buy week are we what are we what eight and seven um okay here's our game we're 8 and seven now we're taking on the 49ers we lost to the Bears and the bills uh I don't know the Niners are annoying fact they're very annoying but whatever we're eight and eight and now we have to take on the freaking freaking Vikings who are 12 and whatever the hell why are they 12 and whatever the hell I don't know I didn't ask I'll ask at the next meeting why they're 12 and whatever the hell JJ McCarthy is just helping them destroy this division uh we somehow have the advantage offensively and overall wise but our defenses are the same number overall but they're probably going to beat me so that's annoying are we going to just miss the playoffs or are we going to just make the playoffs both are very plausible options winning assur as we make the playoffs though and we lost anyway yeah oh no we won and now we have to face them in the wild guard oh well how about that well how about that all right so let's see what pick what pick are we getting in the draft is it 14 no it actually did go back up to seven so if I traded when it was 10 it would have went up to seven so I did a good thing keeping my pick uh the defensive ends are still very high on the board the Giants moved up to pick three so they can take their quarterback then the uh Falcons are now projected to take the linebacker that I was projected to get so screw you but at pick seven I could get a defensive end I could also get a power rusher and Zach stalworth I could also get George Starling I could also trade down if there's a guy that I think is more worth me drafting so plenty of options for sure we don't need receiver uh linebacker may or may not be a big need for us tackle tackle shouldn't at all be even at consideration and I think guards are relatively replaceable the corner is a maybe corner is a maybe and D tackle is also a maybe no d D tackle shouldn't be a maybe never mind defensive end is the way to go um you're D at finesse mov with your great at Power you and we do need an Ideal Power rusher so Robert McLoud is definitely a considerable asset for me but so is this Demitri guy actually no his power moves is a c and at the defense position where he'd be playing I would need him to kind of be a power rusher so he wouldn't really fit the bill of what I need anyway Zach worth though Zach sorth might be the guy or George darling either of these guys could be nice if I genely choose to draft a player in the draft instead of trading down the whole point was to get as much assets as possible uh we just beat the Vikings 19 to 10 so I'm going to hope we do it again and if we don't well I wasn't meant to play the first year anyway so it won't hurt if we lose um I'm going to assume we lost but it okay I don't like that screen a we lost by a touchdown and a two-point conversion that stinks uh the 49ers destroy the Seahawks so that makes my day the Cowboys destroy the Saints ew um the bills pump over the Jets just barely um the Ravens beat the Jags like they should the Bengals and the Jags have sorry the Bengals and the Dolphins have probably the most unexpected lowest scoring game of all the damn tees I would have assumed that either of those teams offensively would have done more but yeah I mean like the the Ravens and Chiefs being here is pretty realistic bills and Bengals being here is pretty realistic 49ers being here is realistic Cowboys and Eagles more or less realistic the Vikings is a little less realistic but we can we can play ball I mean I guess yeah know we really just need a better defense and then we truly can be Super Bowl contenders our offense is fine our defense is still uh in champal Ravens and Niners not at all the the match you probably wouldn't expect it all makes sense um let's check out the leaders of stats and stuff and then we'll check out the um Awards we were 12th in offense and fifth in defense it's weird that you say that 19 to9 didn't really throw many touchdowns which is weird it's actually really weird that you didn't throw many touchdowns because you have uh you know Mike Evans and am Ross Brown but it's okay um Monty had 13 touchdowns despite only getting 400 yards well you know good job Monty uh and Gibbs uh yeah these guys not getting past the ball enough is a problem we have plenty of ball catchers uh I might consider a new scheme if that's the case just because I don't like the idea of my ball catch not getting the ball uh Alex enone did a good job 11 half SS from Aiden Hutchinson 8 and a half from Hassan reck doing a good job at doing his job Al Le mcneel with four and a half as well uh some good some good help from our linebackers uh Kirby Joseph with three picks Teran Arnold with two he definitely could be our our Corner two and eventually our Corner one we already resigned Carlson Davis so yeah just getting that third Corner we can hopefully Andis break straw could be good there uh BR and Joseph also got an interception just like he did in real life you got one in the game as well so that's pretty cool uh Jake baates 20 of 30 could be better could be worse I mean it's not very good but you know it's all right don't worry about it um who's your MVP it is Patrick moms who's your coach of the year it is Andy Reed who is your offensive player of the NFC it's Jaylen hers Fred w is your Dey of the of of the NFC uh Caleb Williams outbeat JJ McCarthy despite JJ McCarthy having in my opinion what would have been a better season Jared first was the best defensive rookie uh Arnold was eighth best quarterback Jaylen HZ best running back is Zeke that's interesting uh Romeo dobs Romeo dobs best receiver H gonna have to check that out uh Zack Martin best o line rashan Gary best def defensive line Jaylen Johnson best corner Chase mlin best kicker I think we should keep the same offensive scheme but I think we should shimmy around with a different defensive scheme I mean other way around actually different offensive scheme same defensive scheme who L the league in yards doc Prescot 45 to well you know you know who did good at Rushing the ball zek so maybe they maybe they know something I don't know I don't know nji Harris PCO I mean Montgomery was up there for rushing touchdowns I mean Zeke's up there for rushing touchdowns too so the way we can utilize Monty might work out there and then Gibbs can be like a secondary in that position which I know sounds odd but if we were to adopt that theme um like we would have a receiver like this like this is the kind of stuff that Mike Evans and um that Mike Evans and am on St Brown could do cuz we'd have St Brown in the slot and Mike Evans as the Deep threat receiver so our o line would um our receiving Court would be even better so we're going to take that route we will just check out see who led the league in some of the stats like who had the most tackles it was Jordan Hicks who had the most tackles for loss it was V Miller 26 a sack leader was Josh Hines Allen AKA Josh Allen uh Quinn Williams had 17 Chris Jones had uh 16 and a half 16 half for ran Gary a more stabilized zck season like sometimes you see some crazy things these seem like relatively realistic numbers Jaylen Ramy had seven picks Fred Warner had seven picks s Gardner had seven picks some crazy pick GE for some of these guys um who's at the league in receiving touchdowns 18 from Romeo dob 17 from Rashid rice 13 from Nico Collins last time I did this um St Brown had 17 but again that was then this is now so let's not worry about that all right who wins this Super Bowl harba versus Shanahan and your Super Bowl winners [Music] are 49ers screw you you beat the lions in real life I don't like you but anyway 49ers beat be the Ravens to win the Super Bowl not too unrealistic Brock P wins J bur wins defensive per of the Year Bri Brian Thomas Jr wins offensive perie of the year so the the Jags had a lot of good players and the chiefs were good things we already know nothing too nothing too ridiculous compared to real life so I can kind of respect that um the Cardinal f Jonathan Ganon and the Giants fire D okay neither neither of which are people who are going to come to my staff but I mean I wouldn't mind them on my staff just saying but I don't think they're going to come to my staff anyway um Talent One X Factor ready offensive coordinator defensive coordinator um I wish I could view who else was an option uh halfback Guru One X Factor ready xfactor ready halfback Guru um I'm changing my scheme for receivers so you're going to have to get yeated buddy uh does anyone have a talent for receivers cuz if so I would like you uh blocker Focus lined it up quarterback coach you are indeed a quarterback coach but you're not needed for this pass catcher Focus Kevin stansky interesting X Factor running pass blocker offens line Guru my offensive Line's fine quarterback Guru any receiver gurus receiver Guru here we go all right rod come to the staff buddy all right and the next video we will pick up with the off season
