Hope everything's okay with the family. Good luck.

You respond with evidence from one team and answer a broad question about " teambuilder rosters".

Any other questions you want to field?

Good point many of my defensive ends in dynasty were 210-215 which made things a bit frustrating.

In our current OD there is a 4* DE from my homestate that has great attributes. He runs in the 4.5 range and benches around 400 which would make him a can't miss prospect. Am I recruiting him? Absolutely not. The reason...he's 6'0" 207. It seems like most of the top 6-8 DE's are short and weigh less than 220. That's insane. They have addressed some problems with the recruiting engine and players generated so I'm really hoping they did they're homework here.

Agreed. This pissed me off the most about recruiting.

6-3, 320 DTs with only C- STR, but that 6-4, 250 DT would have A- STR. The height/weight rarely matches the attributes when it comes to the trench players.

[jdrhammer]

Or the 280+ DE's have C- to D STR with B spd.

They have the same problem with heights for QB's as well. There are way too many 6'0" QB's. There should be a few that are only 6'0" & a few more who are 6'1", but the majority of QB's should be 6'2" - 6'4" with several being 6'5" and 6'6". Size and weight should factor into ability as well IMO. I know there are smaller players who can do well in college but that should be factored in when going to Madden.

Another thing that pissed me off so was many 5 star pospects running poor 40 times. A five star linebacker is almost never going to run a 4.8 and a 5 star WR is never going to be the slowest wr on a team unless he is 6'9". Speed and size are the determiming factor in rating recruits. There is a kid form my home town who ran a sub 4.4 and was a very productive RB in highschoo,l but was only a 3 star coming out because he weighed 170 pounds. Put 30 pounds on that guy and you have a monster 5 star prospect.
