Can someone explain this...

[Dr Death]

So I just finished my 4th year as Kentucky's head coach and I had 11 Seniors that were rated between 91 and 98, yet only 5 were drafted. Let me explain this further... I had a Senior CB who was rated as a 98 overall. He had 99 speed, 97 acceleration, 99 Man coverage, 98 Zone coverage, 93 Play Recognition, 95 Awareness and 67 tackling, which, for a CB, is pretty darn good.

Yet he went undrafted! How does this happen? I had a right guard who had 96 pass blocking, 94 run blocking, 95 impact blocking and 97 awareness yet he was undrafted too!

Is EA's draft logic broken? This hurts me because instead of 11 players being drafted I only had 5 get drafted and only one in the first round.

I'm sitting here thinking that if there's a CB in the upcoming real draft, and that CB was as good as mine was, he'd be a Top Ten pick for sure. Oh... he also won the Heisman as a Junior! Yes, my defensive back won the Heisman. Reminds me of Charles Woodson, who went number 4 to the Oakland Raiders. So how does my guy not get drafted at all???

If their draft logic is broken then I can accept that and move on, but this is making no sense at all to me.

Are they undersized? I read somewhere around here that makes a difference

He was 6'0 and 200 pounds. Sounds pretty good to me.

Sounds perfect...can't explain it though. It happens to me too. The most strangest was a back-up QB (OVR 94) that went for the Pros in his Jr year with virtually no stats...got picked in the 2nd round.

Draft logic is ALL about size... then ratings.

Stats, trophies, all American, all of that doesn't matter at all.

I can't remember exactly, but a QB has to be like 6'2" I think.

That's bizarre. I feel like the only explanations would be that you're off on the height and weight; there were 12+ CBs rated 99; or he has character issues.
