Disagree. The problem is that the AI logic does not reflect reality. If you draft a QB in round 1, you ARE NOT drafting one in round 1 next year, even if his rookie year he throws 1 TD and 11 INTs, and that single TD coming in the 4th quarter of the last game of the season. This is what happened with Alex Smith. He had one of the worst seasons in NFL history and made Jared Goff look like Peyton Manning, yet the 49ers did not even consider drafting a QB in round 1 in 2006. Why? Because they understood the investment of a number 1 pick (especially an early number 1 pick). The CPU does not understand the investment value of a number 1 pick, nor does it understand the investment and time requirement for developing a quarterback. This is the problem, not the overall.

Alex Smith should have been rated below 50 based on his first season, but the 49ers didn't draft another QB. If Madden is trying to replicate the NFL, why should the CPU draft back to back first round QBs if real NFL teams don't do that even if the QB is horrible their rookie season?

That pick also happened under the old rookie salary in the old CBA...

Because they felt he could develop into a good QB.
It is not just about rookie season, that is why I specified 67 overall with slow development.

Can anyone confirm if editing draft classes after the draft is still in the game?

Thanks
