Nevertheless, the issue is with the tweet making it appear that it would be an absolute mistake to pass up on him, yet 19 teams did.

but some did think Rodgers was the clear #1. and the only one talking about that qb being the clear #1 was Stink. and then when he was drafted at 20 Mort tweeted that he fell farther than expected. it looks great.

Also about the WR and TE taken as high as they have been, someone mentioned that the rookie scale might be a factor to that. No team in the past would pay a premium like 50 mil guaranteed to either of those positions, but now that the rookie wage scale is in you might just see more positions being drafted in the top 5 than QB, LT, and DLine.

The counter-argument to that is that it's one Tweet. Had many of the Madden analysts echoed it, I could see an issue - but this could be a pick that virtual Schlereth just missed his prediction on.

Obviously we'll have to wait until we get more hands-on experience (or other users' footage) to see if it's a mistake by Schlereth or if it's a common potential mistake.

Definitely. I referred to it as an oddity. Maybe it was on purpose that analysts will sometimes give wrong observations or maybe it was a glitch. No one knows, just odd either way. By far the best NFL Draft in a video game I've seen.

There are multiple of scenarios that we just don't know about, for all we know he could have been a complete bust rating wise,etc. I like it, adds a more dynamic effect to the draft and that's pretty realistic as we've seen what a simple red flag on someone can do in the top of the 1st round.
