Official Rate My Fantasy Draft Thread

EA must have tweeked something in the fantasy draft logic because when i tried to start a new one Cam Newton, Suh, Joe Haden, Stafford, Julio Jones. All of them were going in rounds 2-8 now all of them are gone after the first round. Glad I saved a few drafts with different teams before this change because things have gotten a bit more challenging

I went for a strong O-line. Could use some work in the defensive secondary, but all my corners are rookies, so I should see nothing but improvement. Same with my receivers(aside from M. Williams).

QB A. Luck, J. Webb
RB T. Richardson, L. James
FB J. Hester
WR M. Williams, J. Blackmon, A. Jeffery, R. Randle, J. Gordon, AJ Jenkins
TE J. Shockey, C. Fleener, D. Allen
LT Tyron Smith
LG C. Nicks
C A. Mack
RG J. Evans
RT M. Oher

Running a 3-4 Defense
DE JJ Watt, A. Carter, B. Irvin
DT A. Hargrove, F. Cox, M. Brockers
OLB C. Matthews, D. Hightower
MLB P. Willis, B. Spikes
CB M. Claiborne, S. Gilmore, J. Jenkins (nothing but rookies)
FS K. Lewis
SS M. Barron

EA updated Fantasy draft AI logic it seems. Stafford is now a 1st round pick, all the stars are pretty much gone by the 4th round. Glad they made it a lot harder.

To all of you guys who fill your team with rookies: Do you realize that in 7-10 years your team will have a massive turnover that you won't be able to simply fix with the rookie draft? It would basically mean a very very dark period for a team in real life for at least 3-5 years. Not to mention that it's just entirely unrealistic. I like to pick a couple of rookies I especially like on O/D then build the rest of the team around talent alone.

So you're assuming that all of the players develop how the user wants and that they don't draft or sign anyone for 10 seasons??? You will always come across a better player for your team at some position.
