Will the admin of this site deal with this person in the appropriate manner, please? Take his beer and tequila away or something. Better yet, grab his keyboard.

Vinny is correct, and it's only four positions: QB, HB, T and DE. And just to be sure, I just simmed a draft here are the results: DE, QB, QB, QB, HB, T, T, T, T, HB, T, T, HB, DE, T, DE... should I go on?

About a month ago I posted a similar post as I too was new to ESPN. The best advice that I got were two things.

1. The rookies are NOT sorted by overall talent level during scouting or the draft. But you can leave these at anytime and go to the rookie report, where the rookies ARE SORTED by estimated talent level. This is very helpful in scouting. If you are looking to take a CB in the first two rounds you may want to scout the first couple CBs. If you are waiting until the middle rounds you might want to scout CBs 10-15. You get the idea.

2. Always watch sportscenter before the draft AND DURING THE DRAFT. After each round, sportscenter will change and will now list the top picks available. I think this might be a glitch in the game, because if your in the 5th round, the sportscenter will say that "these are the players that will go in round one" but they'll list only players that haven't been drafted to that point. Thus, they are giving you the list of best available players. It may or may not be a glitch, but take advantage of it by exiting the draft after each round and watching sportscenter.

Since we're talking about this stuff, are you able to edit the rookies after the draft is over? I don't remember being able to, but maybe I just don't know how to do it.

Thanks ya'all,

You can only edit them before the draft, from the Big Board.

One thing I haven't tried is leaving the draft when it's my pick, going to the Big Board and editing someone, then returning to the draft and drafting him. I'd love to see if that works or not.
