Best Team to Build in Madden 15

[longball5187]

We're all excited for Madden 15 to drop; so it makes sense to ask the burning question. What team are you excited to build up in Madden 15? There are new rookies, free agents and even coaching changes that change this answer every year.

I'm curious to get the community's take on what and who people are excited about. Sometimes, it's "this team is awful and I want to make them better." Or, "this team drafted a stud and I can't wait to turn him loose." Maybe even, "this team dominates and I'm going to be the next dynasty."

Just curious what people think.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

There are a few teams that come to mind for a few different reasons:

• Buffalo - Sammy Watkins and EJ Manuel are young and the front 7 is young and should be good for a while. Solid core to start with.
• NY Jets - Geno has upside and Vick brings a veteran, fun presence to the offense. CJ2K would be fun to bring back to glory. Wilkerson could just terrorize things on the defensive end.
• Kansas City - They're a little toward the high end of the scale, but Jamaal Charles would be really fun. Running a lot out of the pistol is nice and they have DeAnthony Thomas to play with out of the slot. Their defense is really really good, too. Maybe this wouldn't be as much of a "build."
• San Diego - They are pretty good, too. And I have to admit I don't like Phillip Rivers. But, it'd be fun to take them to some playoff wins, for once. Teo is young and could be a future leader, too.
• Dallas - Love or hate, they are about to transition. Romo is getting up there and his contract is, too. He and Witten bring you to an interesting crossroads. But Dez and Sean Lee can bridge to the future, too.
• Arizona - Young team up and coming. Have a year or two with Palmer then you get to draft and develop a QB with a solid core. Floyd and Fitz will certainly help a young QB. Ellington would be fun in the backfield, too. Plus, PP and Honey Badger in the secondary...

Who agrees/disagrees?

I'm going to do a Jags CFM when I get the game. After the week 1 rosters come out I'm going to start my real CFM with the Dallas Cowboys.

Jags would be fun, too. Have almost a blank slate on offense. Do you agree with Cowboys prognosis? They're at a crossroads and it's really fun to take a team in "your" direction. Best of luck to you.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

The Rams might be a good one, in the toughest division in football. Such a good, young DL, some other good young defenders, Tavon Austin, and Sam Bradford make them such an interesting team. Another good team to build would be the Lions. Great offense, good DL, questionable secondary and linebackers.

The Rams D-line is stacked! I totally agree. I forgot the Rams had Stedman Bailey, too. He was a monster at WVU.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

Rams will be great but that division is nasty.

Jags actually shouldn't be too bad after a season. You'll have like $30+ in cap space free so should be aggressive in FA.

Raiders put a lot of nice pieces in place too.

Bucs is also another I'm considering. You're QB & WRs will all be huge. Evans ratings looked really good & he's 6'5".

The Browns seem to be the team that everyone is jumping on early in my leagues so far.... not that surprising though.

Ohhh great call with the Bucs. Muscle Hampster and Mike Evans. Plus Levonte David being an animal. That could be really fun. Just have to look at those nasty uniforms every week.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

Speaking of young QB's. Is anyone else really interested to see and play as Derek Carr? He and David Fales are intriguing to build around.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

The Cardinals solid left side of the offensive line tremendous secondary possibility to progress Logan Thomas or draft someone and some holes in middle linebacker and need to find docketts replacement and the toughest division in football

I don't know what I'm going to do with him yet. I might trade him right away or I might wait and see if I can pick up a QB in the draft and then trade Romo afterwards.

Re: Best Team to Build in Madden 15

I like to pick a team that hasn't done anything in a long time and they need a lot of help a few good, young players. Preferably a team that has never won a Super Bowl. My choices are coming down to....

Rams
Young team like everyone said, and in a tough division. Great D-Line which is important especially in this years Madden.

Raiders
Mack should be a lot of fun to play with. I like Carr as well. Other than that, they have a pretty old team that needs to be re-built.

Jags
Worst team in the league, need a lot of help. I don't really like Bortles, though.

Lions
Pretty good team, but they haven't won a playoff game in about 100 years so that's where the fun comes in with this team.

If I wasn't a Jets fan I would definitely choose the Bills...

Bills do sound fun. Jags are becoming a popular pick. Raiders would be fun, too. Who starts at QB if you're the Raiders? Carr right away or let Schaub start for a half year or year?

Bills and Rams sound like fun jobs
