M'17 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

[ednaaard]

I loved this thread last year, and now they've added an even bigger rookie class of undrafted players with dynamic development traits, I think we could see some better ones

Post your biggest gems, studs and freaks you've found from the draft.

Might want to add that you should only post pictures from the draft screen only, due to M17s post-draft player editing function. I'm not saying anyone will edit and claim a freak, but to avoid any questioning it will probably be better this way.

Love this section ,seeing they said there will be rare freaks . I seen alot of 91 to 94 speed running backs most had no great trk ,spin,jk,stiff they were all just fast ! But I did see one back that was 96 speed 94 acc 78 overall rating . I'll see if I can get a picture . No fast WR in just the one draft I did !

I think the new players draft system will make us appreciate the freaks we get a lot more. It was too easy last year and unrealistic. Now when there is a freak, they will really stand out and correctly so.

There's so much more variety in 17, it went from totally generic draft classes to wow!
I've seen:
6'4 DB's
Running backs who run 4.3 forty's
6'6 WR's
6'4 255 LB running a 4.52
6'6 QB's

It's night and day difference from Madden 16

Very happy you're enjoying them so far, there was a lot of love and time put into the draft classes this year. Excited to see what this thread produces in time!

Were the equipment issues fixed?

i.e. all players had normal sleeve length and also had mismatched right/left wright gear

Yes!

All arm gear where it makes sense for both arms to have it (ie, you should never see a player with two QB wristbands) will now match color and style, and sleeve length varies for players too.

As far as jersey cut goes, I drafted a QB last week who had the Bradford long sleeves and have seen many WRs who go Sleeveless. Frequency may vary since the classes are randomized, but there's definitely a chance to pull something other than Standard this year.

Re: M'17 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

There wasn't a clear position need in the 4th round, so I went with a potential difference maker down the rode. This is who I got. I planned on putting him on the practice squad, but honestly he's more dangerous than Chargers 4th and 5th. I just need to focus on developing him.
Side note: This draft had a full page of 1st round projected WRs, and some going on the second page. This is my first class, so hopefully that's not common.

Re: M'17 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

Hopefully most of the eligible players are either 21 or 22 years old. Seemed like 70% of the prospects last year were 23, which seems a little old. It's like no-one declared before their senior year.

And thanks to formation subs, you can now formation him in on your goal-line packages and make use of that height on some corner throws!

You know, I've been rushing this CFM because of EA Access. But I really need to make a note of that. Thanks for the remind!

Re: M'17 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

hoping to see some high rated QBs who dont have like 90 speed. that was way too common in 16. some tom brady or peyton manning types would be refreshing to see

Re: M'17 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

How are the 3-4 DTs? Any of them with really impressive strength?
