Re: Stud HB's in Draft Classes?
Well, I haven't really tried to draft a Rb with a high draft pick yet. I still have Andre Ellington, but he is 31or 32 now, so I might have to look for one soon.
What I find weird is Adrian Peterson. At 34 years old, he was a 78ovr with 73 speed and 67 acc. He was on the Texans as their starter. When I played against them, he had 10 carries for 10 yards and 3 lost fumbles. Meanwhile, they had a 76ovr rookie with 93 speed and 97 acc, on the bench. How is the rookie not the starter? No team in the NFL would ever even sign Peterson at that age when is that freaking slow.
Next offseason, Cleveland Browns signed Peterson, but younger Rb's around the same overall went unsigned. Wtf?Comment

Re: Stud HB's in Draft Classes?
Been simming through a lot of draft classes, and while I have found some serviceable HB's... definitely nothing close to a "stud" HB when it comes to physical attributes. I've have yet to find an HB with legitimate strength... which is annoying cause lots of real life HB's in the default roster have good STR. Definitely a desceprency.
I ended up finding a physical stud at CB (97SPD, 80STR, ETC). He also had good Elusiveness and some other decent attributes for an HB. So I moved him there. Ha. It will take several years to make him a starter (his CAR is terrible). But it will be a lot easier improving his intagibles than it is improving a less athletic guy's physicals.Comment

Re: Stud HB's in Draft Classes?
I think the spread of running backs is great. I was looking for one in the last 2 drafts. The first year I found 2 good backs (79 and 78 overall, both quick development. The next year a stud out of Michigan won the Heisman. He ended up being an 83 OVR with Star development. After scouting him I decided that I could just trade one of the other guys because I was 95% sure he would be a stud. Sure enough, he was.
The kicker was he had a 99 personality. Guy is going to sell a lot of jerseys.
Something to be said about an RB that wins the Heisman. Looks like that draft story means they will likely have Star development.Comment
