What are draft paths?

[UDM2004]

I've read all over this forum about draft paths. What are they?

Basically there are 4 sets of draft classes: the Jack English draft path, the Maceo Sweetney draft path, the Ozzie Jones draft path, and the Mike Zazzali draft path. They are named after the best player in the first years draft class. They are chosen either the monday or tuesday of the beginning of the regular season.(I think?) Each draft path contains the same set of draft classes every time (So if you do a Raiders franchise in Zazzali, then do a different Dolphins franchise also in Zazzali, all the players in the draft classes in the two franchises will be the same, but if the Dolphins franchise was in Sweetney there would be different players.) The general ranking of the draft paths in order of most talent to least is English, Jones, Zazzali, then Sweetney, though certain draft paths are stronger in certain positions than others.
