Maybe in past Maddens, but this year you can scout any players you want, so drafting a 6th round grade player in the 1st won't be fishy this year unlike previous versions of online franchise drafts where this wouldn't make sense (aside from XFN draft's of course). Near impossible to tell if someone were to use a draft guide this year if one is made, but still gives some guys who choose to use it an inside edge and advantage.
But if these guys wanna do it, there's no stopping them. OF players are a portion of the crowd, as I'm sure there's plenty who want who play offline or online. Kinda takes the fun of scouting away when you know what guys to target off the bat, but to each their own.
