I always like threads like these. Interesting to see what some fans would choose for their team.
Choose 1 of 3 options for your team:
1) #1 overall 2017 free pick. Works similar to comp pick, everyone gets bumped down, cannot trade). Your normal 1st rounder in 2017 also CANNOT be traded.
2) $10M extra cap for 3 seasons (enough for a decent F agent or signing room) 2017 through 2019.
3) ONE Max stat upgrade (let's go Madden style) for any NON QB on team (because frankly everyone would just give their QB 99 awareness if they have a hint of physical tools).
Can upgrade any traditional Madden stats. Speed, strength, agility, awareness (also counts as technique - route running, scheme adaptability, reading defenses, etc.), catch, tackle, carry, break tackle, etc.

My pick:
As much as #2 is tempting for Seattle, I'll take max awareness for Germain Ifedi (32nd overall rookie OT/OG). Has ALL the physical tools/size. His big issue is technique. If he could fix that no reason he shouldn't be a pro bowl LT which Seattle desperately needs. Risky to spend on a rook, but Seattle seems sound at every position but O-Line. Not sure we'd have the money to be able to spend on #1 overall plus normal first rounder (cannot be traded) and no guarantee it'd pan out. Seattle also doesn't need a QB.
#1 is a sexy choice but never know if the player will bust and your team may already be in a position to draft high.
Tried to make these somewhat balanced but that's the fun of these threads.. perhaps I'm way off base. #1 seems like the obvious choice since you could take the #1 overall and trade the 2nd (old 1st) for a HAUL, hence why I made the condition no trading. Also, if you picked early that's a LOT of money invested in rookies, something to consider.
