Hall of Famer
This years draft isn't very strong on skill players so that's generally what I think of when it comes to madden. But with the NFL draft less then 2 weeks away what rookies will you be following closely come draft time. What teams do you want them to go to or not go to. I'll list a few of mine
HB Derrick Henry
6'3 - 247 pounds
Everyone knows by now I am partial to power HB's and I don't think i'll ever find one that fits the mold better then. He also gets the benefit of being a big name at a big school so I think that will help his rookie madden ratings. I've been following Henry since his high school days when he was a 5* recruit that was commited to UGA for over a year. I'm still kinda mad at him bc him on campus the same time as Gurley, Marshall, Sony and Chubb would have been epic. He ran a 4.54 in the 40 yard dash and also did really well at the combine in vertical, broad jump and 60 yard shuttle. At this point whoever drafts him will likely be the #1 team on my wishlist. I don't want him to go to cowboys in 2nd round as that's rk's team.
Projection - He is projected to go in the late 1st-early 2nd round so he could to either a playoff team or a top 2nd round where he will be paired with another early round rookie.
HB Ezekiel Elliot
6'0 - 225 pounds
I know they are several Ohio State fans around here so he will be the name most people want of the rookie HB's. He still has the size I look for in a HB and is a faster with 4.47 combine. He is a 3 down back where has Henry might have to come off the field on 3rd down. I would expect similar ratings to Todd Gurley this year.
Projection - 1st round 4-15 range
