What was your DE and WR overall and measurables(height/weight)?

DE was an 80 overall his senior year and was pretty big, like 275 pounds. I am not sure on the weight exactly, I play as UTSA, he is the LE and a Junior when you start

My WR is now an 84 ovr like 6 foot

DTs do get drafted.

Now.

This was fixed in the last patch. They didn't get drafted before.

This explains why Star Lotulelei went undrafted in my Utah dynasty

How many ppl remember the draft that was part of this series the last year or two on the PS One? I remember it. I agree with you also. Glad it's finally back in this game, but I'd like to see EA continue to improve on it, especially since there are a few issues that have been brought up in this thread.

Not that this addressed the issue with DT's prior to the patch, but I am wondering if the numbers you saw per round might take into account players drafted from non-FBS programs, a la Janoris Jenkins (2012 first round pick) etc. Even then, the number of non-FBS school players in the first round seems high, but for other rounds it seems to make sense to me. Just a thought that occurred to me as a possibility.

Going to bump this rather than start a new thread.

Anyone know if it's still purely by rating? I was scrolling through all the teams, and the only teams from non-BCS conferences (MWC is BCS, BE is not. BE did not get Boise, SDSU, Houston) with players drafted were:

(This is 7 or so years into a dynasty, so all these players are purely ficticious)
Ohio: SS-6th Round
Cincinnati: QB-4th Round OLB-7th Round
UCONN: CB- 2nd Round
Louisville: LT- 5th Round
Memphis: DE- 5th ROund

Maybe this was just a flukey year? Anyone else notice this? Scrolling through the Pro Potential ratings, very few non-BCS teams have above a D-.

Also, would you consider it cheating to raise a player's overall right before the draft if he realistically would be drafted. At UNLV, my halfback is my entire offense and he has 1800 yards rushing with 14 TDs after Game 8. Overall wise, it seems unlikely he would be drafted, but with his stats he'd realistically be a 3rd-5th round pick, I feel.
