So why not take a chance on striking gold, by taking those projected UDFA's? Someone in my division found a 6'-3" 99 SPD 90 CIT WR, and a 6'-5" 90 SPD TE in the same draft with only 6 picks, I had 14, and bombed them all. Except my 1st round pick which was a 6'-1" 97 SPD, 88 MCV CB.
What draft was that in?

For Ex:

A Projected UDFA WR who is 6'5 233 ILBs who has A grade physical talents with A graded Speed, B graded Acceleration. B grade CIT and B grade SPC is a beast. Since his Acc is a B you can anticipate that his STR, AGL, and JMP all must be high for his position.
Remember that Madden largely operates off of templates, so you could Liken this 6'5 physical beast to Andre Johnson or A. Green- that is his projection- he is a poor man's version of these players.
Also remember that Madden operates on the belief that all prospects are not created equal, and that physical talents are more important than skill talents. IE: I would take Kenny Timm (6'5 99 speed, 89 Acc, 99 Jmp, avg dev) over a Super Star Dev 6'1 89 speed player any day.
Which draft do you find Kenny Timm in?

He's in 3. He's an absolute beast. Except his AWR is downright awful.

Really? That's the one I'm currently scouting. Awesome! Cheers! He's a UDFA so he won't be "available" to see the game until draft day, right?

What about the other guys?

Edit: just read somewhere else that he's not in the Kian Mackenzie draft which is draft number 3.

You can't scout the projected UDFA's, as they do not appear during any of the scouting stages, they only appear at the draft, so when you take one during the draft you are essentially drafting blind, you only have the production, and size grades to go on, and all their production grades are usually under 25.

Re: Trick to Finding UDFA's

The best UDFA I have gotten was a 74ov WR i forgot what draft class and the name but if you want to know, i'll go find him

Cooper Kosbert is also good, but im assuming mostly everyone knows that.

Kenny Timm is in draft 13 not draft 3.

He is a total beast at 6'5, 99 speed, 98 jumping, 99 agility and 80 str.

Thanks. Thought it was too good to be true.

Know any good good UDFAs in draft 3 (Kian McKenzie draft)?
