AI Drafting

Not sure if this is a bug, but it should be.

In MFN-6, the AI took a PUNTER with the 4th overall pick.

The AI should not be taking a P/K in the first 3 rounds, for any reason.

Couldn't agree more. AI also took a first round Punter with the 12th pick in CUST-12.

Disagree, try game planning against 53 punters ;)

I was thinking maybe the AI is smarter given the punt return is the big hitter in the game so if you can draft one of those punters who kicks it 90 yards then its worth 4th overall to neutralize the return game.

Tell you what, joking aside, I played a game the other day and it was intimated that the PR/KR was broken because my return guy was running riot......nothing to do with focusing on STs and building a great unit and tweaking it until getting it right....I wish some owners would spend a bit of time on STs and at least try and make it work for them instead of insisting that its broken.
Since JDB put the patch in, there has been a massive difference and it meant on 2 of my teams going out and getting different players to try and compensate. Its worked to a degree, but I'd say the patch now gives owners who don't touch their STs more of an edge now, but I'm happy to try and expose weaknesses. LOVE STs.

Thanks for reporting, the AI does overvalue punters in the draft right now if they don't have one. I need to suppress that in the earlier rounds.
