The players from the draft class that don't get drafted go to the FA pool and we get to sign them... that's usually when most of the DII players get picked up.

I can deal with the FCS schools like Deleware, App State etc. because they usually have 10-15 guys selected in the later rounds of the draft but I have a real problem when I see schools from Division 2 and 3 on that list, each year over 1400 FBS players are declared eligible for the NFL Draft, 250-270 are selected (depending on compensatory picks). The chances of a guy even being on a teams radar let alone their draft boards is astronomical. Danny Woodhead broke every single rushing record in NCAA history and wasn't even a blip on 31 NFL teams radar so I find it hard to believe that this many players from Div 2 and 3 would even be signed as UDFA's. It is a small gripe but for a game that prides itself on realism this shouldn't be such an issue. And it makes me start to wonder if this small issue was left untouched from Madden 12, what else was carried over?

if this is true, that the 2nd pick = TE everytime, I hope that there is a gamechanger or someone who can somehow alert Looman about this.

its a massive fail if a team needing a qb at pick 2 goes TE because of a glitch. hope thats a day 1 fix.

awesome. White recivers named trayon, WR going 1 overall. 60 % of the players had fathers in the nfl. Wow madden, your setting the bar high. just let us import picks.

This is a nice thread so don't get it closed.

Why would the 2nd pick be a tight end everytime? Is there evidence of that in the retail game?

I understand the flack about Division 2 schools etc. However, if you take a look at what happens with many talented players that get in trouble with the law or grades - they go to Div. 2, etc.

I love that the players in the draft classes are from small schools. Victor Cruz is from UMass, Woodhead is from Chadron St.... I know there are very few players that make it from these schools but at least they respect the fact that these schools exist.

How many players are in a M13 Draft Class?... I am hoping they can give the community a draft class editor at some point. Now that NCAA-to-Madden Draft Classes have been taken away it isn't really a conflict of interests at this point to allow people to make their own classes.

I've seen 2 draft vids and both 2nd draft picks were TE's. Not really enough evidence to go off saying a TE is picked everytime, but it's still a little high.

Would like to see year 2 and year 3 of those drafts instead of the same 1st year draft in each of those vids.
