Mmoexp Madden 23 ：Running backs are even more top-heavy from DonnaStella's blog

I've included a chart that breaks down how NFL teams have MUT 23 ltds coins  drafted every position, by round, over the past 15 years. The greener area around a number means a higher the percentage of that position was drafted during that round. You'll notice the same three positions that have been drafted number one overall show up again here. Defensive tackles show up slightly behind the other linemen. Things even out in the second round with other positions catching up with linemen and QBs, and you'll also see more defensive backs come off the board.

Obviously, there would be more than seven rounds if the entire league re-drafted. But it's noteworthy to see how front offices view certain position when there's a new pool of talent coming into the league.

I also included graphs that breakdown, arguably, the most exciting positions: quarterback, wide receiver and running back. What I've done is taken the top 40 at each position and plotted them by yards (through Week 8) vs. draft position.

What you'll notice with quarterbacks is the number of data points to the left of the screen. This supports what the chart showed earlier, that quarterbacks are often drafted early. But look how many are within 500 yards of the leader, and how far right that group extends. While teams are constantly eager to draft quarterbacks early, there's value to be found later in rounds. Notably, Tom Brady, Dak Prescott and Kirk Cousins shown here.

With wide receivers, the best ones were drafted in the first three rounds, so relatively early. After that, wideouts don't really separate themselves based on when they were drafted.

Running backs are even more top-heavy. Of the top 10, eight were drafted in the first two rounds (Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde being the lone exceptions). Unless there's an "obvious" star at RB available early, you're probably better off waiting. In 2016 and 2023, only two running backs were taken in the first two rounds. Only 2023 stands out within that time frame, with seven Ltds quicksell Madden 23 running backs taken by pick 64.
