******Check my latest post on page 3 of this thread for the latest update**** (8/29/08)
I posted this draft class in response to someone that requested I do so. Basically, I believe that because the players in NCAA are rated so highly in categories that don't directly affect their ability to play the position...they come in with outrageous overalls in Madden. So I "dumbed down" a few ratings in NCAA and started a dynasty with that roster file. I warn that a few top names decided to stay in school (C. Well, T. Mays, D. Heyward-Bey, Stafford, etc...), and I probably won't be finished with the second year of my dynasty until this weekend for anyone that wishes to use the classes. I wrote a more detailed explanation of my thinking behind the "Balco Imports" in one of the threads in the Madden section.
The ratings seem to vary each time the same draft class is loaded, but I haven't seen anything above a "89" Ovr for an imported rookie. The "neutered classes" are nowhere near what I wish they could be, but it's a better alternative than having rookies come in as elite players in the NFL.

Oklahoma had a top 3 finish, which helps explain why Bradford is so high. I edited Pat White so he has a decent catch/Kick Return rating for those that want to edit him into a WR.
RBs.jpg
RB's came in with high ratings, but life isn't perfect. Of course, Speed was an issue for some.
WRs2.jpg
WRs enjoyed a great transition into the NFL (Percy Harvin was an 85 with 93 spd)...Dilliard suffered because he didn't attend a powerhouse college (81 spd)...Robiske (not pictured had an 89 ovr with 90 spd)

Malcolm Jenkins comes in with a great rookie rating for a corner. Victor Harris was an 76 Ovr with 89 spd in this version.
Other notes...the highest rated in other categories...TE was Brandon Pettigrew with an 85 (67 spd, and tremendous blocking ratings)...OT were Michael Oher and Aaron Boone with 82 and 84 Ovr...LE was Tyson Jackson with an 89 OVR and 62 spd...DT's tied between F. Moala and Sen'Derrick Marks with 84 Ovrs...RE was Brian Orakpo (workout warrior) 85 OVR (During one test, Michael Johnson was a 83 Ovr, in this simulation, he was a 75)...LOLB B. Cushing 78 and Aaron Curry (went to my HS, shameless plug) 79 Ovr...MLBs Darry Beckwith 81 Ovr, Rey Maualuga 80 (I know, I know...), and "Baby Animal" was an 78 Ovr...Kam Chancellor was the top rated FS with an 83 and Oklahoma did it once again with Nic Harris topping out the SS position with an 88...William Moore was an 87 Ovr...
