My DE's are a both a pretty good story and should be of interest to those who really get into the ratings and player evaluation. LDE Camp had an outstanding season in 77. He racked up 25 sacks, finished 2nd behind Ragg's/Miami's 28. I posted about that once before, and there were a couple of theories posted about why he did so well given his low Ai default rating of 63. My updated weights have him rated at 61. I dont expect another 20 sack season from him, especially with 4.5, where the sacks will probably be cut in half. Its also his 14th season but he is still doing a good job so far in the pre-season. His trade value is 9...... lol.
My other DE, Bennet King, had a 14 sack total last season. He is a little easier to figure as the Ai has him at 62 and my weights have him rated 8 points higher at 70. He has gotten 2 sacks in the 3 pre-season games so far, its his 10th season. Most any, if not all, team owners should want a DE like him on their team, based on his stats. But, his trade value you may ask? 48.
When you trade, I would highly recommend that you check the player's stats, if you dont already do so. There are quite a few, like these 2 DE's, who play at a much higher level than what their ratings suggest. And vice-versa, there are 90 raters who dont play up to their rating and are not worth huge contract bids out of FA or a trade meter value of 1800+.
