I just think it's a little crazy that I was able to draft so many quality young players that the CPU overlooks. Mostly all rookies who are really high round picks

QB - Tyler Bray , Thad Lewis
HB - Gio Bernard, Le'Veon Bell, Jon Dwyer, Montaa Ball
FB - M. Robinson
WR - Jordy Nelson, J. Blackmon, Edelman, J. Boykin, Swope
TE - J. Cameron, Travis Kelce, Cumberland
LT - Eric Fisher
LG - J Cooper
C- ?
RG - Warmack
RT - ?

LE- Tyson Jackson
RE - Cameron Heyward
DT - Dontari Poe
LOLB- Orakpo, Jarvis Jones
MLB - Kuechley, Alonso, Jelani Jenkins (great value)
ROLB - Ogletree, Sergio Kindle
CB- Sherman, Talib, Scandrick, Amerson, CJ Wilson
FS - Eric Reid, Mathieu
SS - Vaccaro, Tony Jefferson

Basically an entire roster of rookies and sophomores that are really talented. Guys who should have been drafted much earlier than they were. I will agree that it's still decently enjoyable w/ a good slider set.
They're one of the superteams, and I hate having to play them every year. I always lose the road game I play against the Eagles. But, for the most part, most teams are pretty balanced, and the bad teams aren't all that bad in my CFM.

A couple of similar players on our teams. This was my team after the draft (missing a few names):

QB: Luck, Clausen
RB David Wilson, Eddie Lacy
WR: Julio, Cecil, Blackmon, Terrance Williams
TE: Fleener, Ertz
LT M. Khalil, Sam Baker
LG A. Levitre
C Stefen Wiz, Brian Schwenke
RG Asomoah, Earl Watford
RT Loadholt, Demar Dotson, Culbreath

MLB: Kuechly, Jon Bostic
RLB: Wesley Woodward, Bjoern, Zaviar Gooden, Sio Moore
LE Kroy Bierman, Justin Francis
RE: Bruce Irvin, Robert Quinn
DT: Suh, Poe, Ian Williams, Kawaan Short
CB: Patrick Peterson, Derek Cox, Josh Robinson, Brandon McGee, Poyer
FS Eric Reid, Swearinger
SS Cyprien, Rashad Johnson

Kuechly and Poe getting slow development was mind boggling for me. How in the world does that happen? And how has Poe worked out for you? I traded him for a first/third round pick since I couldn't pass up on that value (I also just traded for Shariff Floyd to take over for Poe, who is rated 90+). Poe was underperforming, but I guess playing alongside Suh (who is an unblockable freak of nature) does that to you.

Yeah, a lot of good young talent did get overlooked. Eric Reid have been amazing at safety, and Cyprien has turned out to be an absolute stud at SS. Some teams in real life just have front offices that are horrendous, and I just choose to pretend that it works that way in Madden too.
