I was hoping these wouldn't be created! Now I'm in worse luck. I probably wont find a gem in the second round.
who did the work? some OS user/poster?
Some guy on Gamefaqs/Gamespot with community input.
Drafts are basically the same every time, except for players with draft stories. Those players may have their ratings go up/down or they may change positions, stay in school an extra year, or even quit football.
:lol
You have a dude who tried to scam the league by editing his contracts, and you think people are not looking for draft classes?
I was just thinking earlier how excited I was for the draft for surprises and whatnot, but now it's just a lame formality. I remember a couple years back wondering how people were skipping players and I was finding these "gems" but it turned out that everyone just had the draft class spreadsheets. laaaaaaame.
There's no stats from the looks of it, just a grade for development. Had something similar a few years back, but most didn't find out about it until later in the game, I know I didn't.
Still, that takes the fun out of busts vs gems.
Yeah, I know. But you know what, and you mentioned it earlier, guys that I found useful still dropped for reasons I did not understand at the time. May have been average players, but I liked them for specific traits/attributes.
Lame but at least everyone is on the same level with this sheet, better than having a few who think they have the inside scoop on everyone else.

it sucks but better that it's out in the open then only a few people using it. i remember people using it in all the drafts we ever had. i never looked at it but i always found it strange that someone would take a lower rated CB early in the 2nd round or something and then i come to find out they were "A" rated potential. shameful!
Oh I figured others would find it. I just figured not everyone would.
Also this list isn't of every player in the draft, just the ones with average or better for their development attribute.
Its kind of like in years past where some people cared about the Potential rating and others didn't. Those who don't care will still find players that they can get production out of. And thanks to the XP system those players won't necessarily be stuck at low OVR ratings forever.

Mark of shame. GG Pheenix.
Yeah, I'm not using it. Fuck it! I'll work the draft like Al Davis: without a clue!
I'm away for the night, on my birthday no less and I see you fools are attempting to trash me! Let's look in recent history! Bitter beer face all over the place!
I destroy FMT 31-7 in the regular season. He resorts to epic Kap QB run cheese to beat me in the playoffs.
I smack around CB 24 to 7 and get the last wild card spot and keep him out of the playoffs!
I crush Luke 27 to 0 in the Big 10 title game in NCAA, and then beat him week 1 26 to 14.
Rors, I domina....uhhh, I got nothing. He always beats me in Madden.

Tell us more.
I was up 24 to 10 into halftime, and I ended up losing 31 to 24 due to two fumble recoveries for td I lost on returns.
Ugh, don't remind me. The birth of the gameshark saga!
