Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
I don't have exact attributes on me, but in my 49ers rebuild I actually noticed a TE in the draft due to the draft stories. It said something about him outplaying/outcatching the top TE prospect in the Senior Bowl (or whatever the game calls it). I always go look at these draft story players just to see what they're projected at and everything. I look and he's projected for a late 4th rounder so I start scouting and he has some pretty solid stats (B+ in catching, etc.), so I decide he is likely my 4th round target. If he's a bust McDonald will still be serviceable enough. I actually even revoked my offer to Dwayne Allen in FA due to me unearthing this guy.
I draft him in the 4th. Measurables are something like 6'3 240s. He comes out as a 74 ovr (with scheme set to balanced), but superstar dev and he's a pretty solid receiver (84 speed and mid 80s hands). Been starting him since day 1 and he's currently leading the team in receptions 11 games in. Even though he has some crappy traits (drop open pass - yes. feet in bounds - no) I haven't noticed him really drop any passes he should have caught and last game he even had a crucial 3rd down catch leaping near the sideline and touching both feet in bounds before falling out of bounds.
He has definitely played above his ratings and I plan on him being a staple of my offense for years to come. Thinking about switching the scheme to receiving TE to see what his ovr looks like. I'm also thinking that his ovr may be affected by a pretty low awr. Can't recall what it is but I'm pretty sure it's fairly low.
So far I haven't been able to find much luck 5th round and later. Pretty sure I usually end up dropping the guys I draft there. But the last draft class in the first 4 rounds I found 4 starters (admittedly on a bad team)
1st round (like 9th pick): WR Gilbert Scott 6'2 (80 ovr: 93 speed. QUICK Dev)
2nd round: CB Marvin Bryan 5'11? (78 ovr: high man and press. QUICK Dev)
3rd round: RG ???? ???? ???? (76 ovr: QUICK Dev)
4th round: TE I mentioned Keylo Miles SUPERSTAR Dev
Made Scott the #2 WR in front of Torrey Smith (signed Marvin Jones in the offseason who is currently at #1)
The CB was good enough to come is as the #1 CB because the 9ers CBs are terribad.
RG I am starting over 80 ovr Nicks who I signed in the offseason. Figured it's better to let the quick development G develop on a rebuilding team than starting the old vet that is a 2 year rental
And as I already said, TE is starting. So far 11 games into the season the ovr have jumped from
WR: 80 -> 82
CB: 78 -> 81
RG: 76 -> 79
TE: 74 -> 78
In this next draft class there are like 6 QBs that are projected in the 1st/early 2nd and all grade out in that area. The rest grade out terribly after scouting, so I am hoping to nab the best one I can get to get my franchise QB (I traded for EJ Manuel since Bills have Tyrod, started season with Kaep and was 1-4. EJ is like 4-2, but I am definitely not going to stick with him long term)
EDIT: didn't mean for this to turn into my life story, but oh well lol
