Both the defensive players behind the offense are now drafted.

Upgrade roster: In the main franchise mode menu, you can click on “Improve Team” to look at available free agents. This menu will also tell you where your team is weakest positionally.

From here, you can check out players that are on the trading block — meaning that teams are eager to send them away — or propose a manual trade. Once again, you should pay special attention to your top five position needs on the sidebar. On the flip side, you can also send one of your players to the trading block by navigating to “My Team,” clicking the player, and selecting “Add to Trade Block.” That way you can field offers from opposing teams rather than seeking them out yourself.
