Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks




Forgot to get a screenshot after I drafted him. He was a 75 overall, normal dev. 90 THP, 80 short, 79 med, 84 deep, 90 throw on run, 88 break sack, 83 speed, 90 acceleration, 81 juke move. 75 ovl, normal dev was a little disappointing but I've never had a QB of this size that can run like this. I think I drafted Cam Newton except this guy has trucking and stiff arm in the 50s. I'm also re-locating the team and starting all over with only rookies on my team so the throw on the run and break sack are going to be huge for me. If I can get his development up, he's going to be a freak. Also, great name.

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

Watched a couple of Madden 21 videos and it looks like offensive linemen may have been nerfed somewhat in the generated draft classes. There seemed to be a lot more reds, and a lot fewer 1st/2nd round talents in the later rounds.

If someone is able to confirm this, that'd be cool.

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks







Done with my second draft. Probably the best draft I've ever had. Zaire Adams has 96 strength, 75 speed, 84 accel at 304 pounds. I think he ran a 4.89 at the combine and had 41 reps. Afraid I was reaching on him since he was like 20th on the big board. In the two drafts I've done so far, he's the only guy above a 77 overall. Need work on the pass rushing moves though. I've also noticed that it seems like a lot more of the 1st round has normal dev.

I'm sure we've all had receivers similar to Gibson before but I had to post him. I don't think I've drafted a guy as fast/agile before. I actually didn't have him scouted at all so I was very surprised when he was the #2 guy in the draft. 96 speed, 93 accel, 96 agility, 95 change of direction, 86 juke, 84 spin. Should be a ton of fun.

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

I know you can usually find Gems who are +/- 1-2 rounds from their "Draft Grade", but I stumbled upon the Holy Grail of Diamonds in the Rough last night.





He doesn't have great moves when it comes to speed/power rush, but just to eat up space and as strong as he is will just wreck havoc on the interior DL

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks



This guy is actually an 80 OVR as you can see he has a -1 because of low morale. Hidden dev trait too. I'm not playing as the Bears though.

I don't know if it has always been like this, but there were only 22 hidden dev traits in this draft, every other player was normal. If they are that rare in every draft this year then that is good, it should be special to get one, especially a 70 OVR plus player.

I've done two drafts so far this year and gotten some 70 OVR plus players of course, but all of my players in the two drafts have been normal dev trait players. It's frustrating, but in a good way. Before this year, I never went one draft without getting at least a star dev player. Because I'm not a Meta game player, it's going to be tough to develop any of those guys into stars.

He's an amazing find just for the name alone. If he were a real NFL player, he'd have the nickname "Bustin'". Jimmy "Bustin" Cheeks.

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

This year is the first time I have gotten that draft unicorn of a player. Chargers Franchise 1st Round, Pick 14, WR Silas Ward 6'5 231 lbs. Was 73 Ovr Normal Dev but had 91 Speed, 91 Acc, 92 Agl, 89 COD, 96 Jump.
He had 86 Spec Catch, but his best attributes were CIT and Short route and had some ball carrying skill so I have him playing slot receiver.
After 5 weeks, had a dev breakout, some costly mistakes with a drop or two and a fumble on the one yard line but 7 TDs and well on the way to a Chargers back to back on Offensive Rookie of the Year, by far my favourite drafted Madden player I've gotten so far.

Unfortunately, Silas is probably going to be a bust. You can tell from the photo that he showed up on draft day high. Who does that? I foresee a Ricky Williams type career.

Re: M21 Biggest Draft Studs and Freaks

This is after week 2.



This guy has a lot of work to do, but 97 throwing power is very impressive.

I've not seen a drafted QB with that THP--that's awesome!

If he has that + tight spiral, good night. Great find!

What was his projected round & true talent round once scouted?

Tight spiral doesn't do anything. Its merely cosmetic.
