I don't like seeing the 6'3" cornerbacks. They're just aren't any in the NFL. 6'3", sure, that's fine here and there. Tony Lippett, Richard Sherman, Sean Smith. 6'4", not liking that.

NFL: Denver Broncos
NBA: Denver Nuggets
MLB: New York Yankees

Well I think they are very rare, which is how it should be. We do see some in the NFL, but tall CB's that play well like Sherman and Smith are a rarity. I've done 4 drafts in my current CFM and haven't seen a CB over 6'2" yet. Maybe I'll see a 6'3" CB in my 5th season.

Has anyone seen a 6'3"+ CB in a M18 draft bust? Or are they all studs because of the rarity of them showing up in a CFM draft?

Not so far in my first 3 drafts. I'm sure it is entirely possible though. Outside of FBs and blocking FBs, blocking TEs, kickers, punters, and the occasional 4-3 run stopper DE (converted to DT) there usually aren't any gems that go undrafted.

Well in my 4th draft I found a couple gems in UDFA, but none with any development traits. There were two UDFA WR's that were both 75 OVR. And you often find some OL in the 73-75 range.

In my previous season's draft the Packers drafted a late 7th round WR that was 75 OVR with Quick development. The Packers continue to draft well at WR, even in Madden. They have drafted 3 good WR's the previous 3 seasons, two with Superstar development and the 7th rounder with Quick. Aaron Rodgers will never have a shortage of talent to throw to in my M18 CFM.

Redskins drafted this beauty in the 5th round of my most recent draft. He was 81 OVR at the time of being selected. CPU boosted his AWR/PRC a few to get him to 82 OVR.



Dolphins drafted this WR in 1st round. Solid overall for his height.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

I'm in my 5th season now of a solo Online Cloud CFM and still no CB's over 6'2". Even the 6'2" CB's are a rarity. Maybe it is an offline thing? Or maybe it has to do when you created your CFM?

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

I managed to get this guy at 26 in year 4 of my Bills franchise. His top 3 attributes were rated B+ but he skipped the combine so he was a bit of a gamble. WR was my #1 need as I didn't have much outside of Tyreek Hill. It was a really weak wide receiver class so it was this guy or nothing. I can't believe no one pulled the trigger before me.



Through 13 games he has 71 catches (leads team), 850 yards, and 6 TDs (leads team). He's just an all-around good receiver. Never drops anything, runs crisp routes and is a bit of a burner. He has a very bright future.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

From my Bucs dynasty, 'Sam Darnold' and 'Marcus Davenport' looking good. Morgan was actually drafted at #5, think it's listing him 1 of 1 from the draft board drafted screen.

Updated, moved Morgan to DE at draft recap, changed name... and wow

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

CPU drafted some real studs in my recent draft. Lee Richardson is the best 6'5" RZ archetype WR I've seen in any of my drafts so far (he also has 90 AGI). Too bad he is only normal development. Flugence is a solid WR with crazy 97 SPD. He wasn't even the fastest WR in the draft, but somehow ended up with a higher SPD rating than the faster WR.

Henry Hayden is one crazy 3-4 Pass Rusher. And the Redskins moved him to DE to fit their scheme and he is an 86 or 87 OVR DE right out of the box with SS development. Jalen Avery is a crazy 4-3 OLB (his archetype changed to 3-4 Pass Rusher during the draft, but I changed it back).

Sean Banks has some of the best measurables I've ever seen for a TE. And Culpepper is an insane 3-4 DE.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

I can't see how that WR having normal development is even a problem. One season of decent production should earn him enough XP to get 91 route running and after that he's breaking all of Jerry's records, assuming good health.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

Got a Le'Veon Bell clone it seems. Slightly better combine results, fell to me at #25. He also has 93 agi and 77 elu..

Oh, I got a guy who reminds me of Bell, too -- drafted him in 2018 draft, helped me win a Super Bowl in year one (as the split back with Legarrette Blount) despite missing six games in the season. He's the saw to Blount's hammer. He's only got about a 71 catch, but I'm working on that this season.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

Torn about which RB to draft.

On one hand...elusiveness is such a hard trait to find.

On the other hand, the second RB has better agility, acceleration and strength.

Thoughts? I might just draft both and trade one after.

Re: M'18 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

I'd take that first back 100% of the time. The second guy is going to be really good, but IMO that elusiveness for the first guy puts him a special class. Add in the SPD, ACC, AGL and CAR, plus he's a year younger.
