the virtual nfl sure does prioritize the tight end position much differently than the real nfl

I don't get this....why does it have to be "it does not make sense".

What if this TE becomes the next Antonio Gates or Rob Gronkowski

What if this WR becomes the next Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson.

Jeez.

The NFL has had a major shift to the passing game and having elite players at WR and TE is more important than ever in this now vertical pass happy league.

Love the idea. Will make connected career very interesting

When is the last time you saw a WR and TE taken 1 and 2 in the NFL?

I've seen TEs selected pretty high and same goes for WRs. The other poster is right, the nfl is changing and athletic TEs are very valuable. Just look at jimmy graham and gronk. Winslow was selected top ten....it can happen.

I don't mind the WR/TE picks since it's a simulated video game!

What do you guys want? A "real" draft? How boring would it get always seeing a QB, LT(OT), RB, WR, maybe DE go #1 and #2 year after year.

but even tweets are about TE's with one saying "the Titans are are TE away from the playoffs" or something...just funny is all

Only twice in NFL history has a wide receiver been taken 1st overall and I don't think a tight end has ever been taken 2nd overall. So for both of those two happen in one year is extremely unrealistic based on the NFL history. It just isn't logical...
