Madden 16 Top 5 Up and Coming Teams

fall, the leaves change, Football season is upon us, and a new crop of teams through free agency and the draft hope to be among the madden elite. Now I’m not saying any of them are on the Seattle Seahawks level just yet, but here is my Top 5 of Up and Coming teams for Madden 16.

 

#5 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They jumped on people’s radar this by drafting Tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Mike Evans to pair with Vincent Jackson, so there was a good chance when you played them you were getting Moss’d by somebody. They also added to this core by drafting a possible sleeper at wide receiver in Kenny bell, who’s 6-1 and ran a high 4.3 40. For all that talent their quarterback options were still either Josh McCown or Mike Glennon, so Tampa went out and fixed the situation by drafting Jameis Winston #1. While he does not have Drew Brees type accuracy, he will improve the quarterback position immediately, and if nothing else he’ll bring a bit of that rookie shine that will attract new users (I mean guys used the Browns just to play with Johnny Football….). Last but not least was their big free agent get, former Dallas Cowboy Bruce Carter who they are going to play at Middle Linebacker, which given his attributes could be a dominant force to user and roam with‏.

 

#4 – Tennessee Titans

The Titans had a nice offense in Madden 15 with Justin Hunter, Kendall Wright,6-6 Kris Durham and Delanie Walker, all the while having the fastest Linebacker core in the game. Yet, whenever you used them the biggest obstacle was keeping Jake Locker off the stretcher; because nobody used the Titans to play with Zach Mettenberger. Despite rumored trade offers, the FO heard the Titans users prayers and drafted Oregon product Marcus Mariota. Who will play like a roided up Jake Locker and instantly become one of the fastest quarterbacks in the game. The other rookie of note the Titans snagged was the behemoth from Missouri Dorial Green-Beckham, who looks like a Plaxico Burress clone. Adding him to a core of Justin Hunter and Kendall Wright gives the Titans plenty of firepower….OH and they also scooped up Brian Orakpo to pair up with Jurrell Casey to improve a pass rush that only had 1 dominant player.

 

#3 – Buffalo Bills

The last thing you would call the Bills offense was slow and all they did was add to it by signing Percy Harvin, giving the Bills the prestige’s crown of fastest wide receiver core in the game. They also upgraded from C.J. Spiller who while good also fumbled at the worst possible time to former Eagles star LeSean McCoy who brings stability to the position and allow you break as many ankles as your heart desires. On defense they drafted 2nd round defensive back Ronald Darby, who looks like a Sam Shields.

#2 – Minnesota Vikings

Anytime you played the Vikings you knew the reason they picked them. The last 2 seasons they’ve loaded up on madden players(a.k.a non offensive linemen) and with this years additions I think they’ve finally done enough to make the leap into the madden elite. With the signing of Mike Wallace, he gives Minnesota another deep threat to go along with Patterson and Charles Johnson. and the best part of their offseason is they drafted nothing but speed in the draft.
cornerback Trae Waynes, linebacker Eric Kendricks, defensive end Danielle Hunter and tight end MyCole Pruitt are an excellent class and when you add the first 3 to a defense that already has Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr and Xavier Rhodes this team is primed to break out.

 

#1 team on the rise is the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!

New coach and new team I guess. Not only do Antonio Cromartie and Darrell Revis return to reclaim the best Cornerback duo in the league title, the Jets added 1st round draft pick Leonard Williams to a defensive line of Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson…….yea They didn’t leave Geno Smith out either giving him new toys to play with bringing in Ohio State speed demon Devin Smith and some guy named Brandon Marshall. Over the last 2 seasons the Jets receiver core has gone from a weakness to an obvious strength, don’t be surprised if you see a surge in Jets users this year!
