The top 2 teams in the draft order have the chance to coach the senior bowl. Hoping we can find some mid round players we love by coaching them for a week.
It would let us get a look at the players in action.
Pardon the interruption to your regularly scheduled programming..
Let’s give this senior class a little appreciation and enjoy these last couple weeks. They’re our winningest class since 2012. Here are the guys who have accepted Senior Bowl Invites so far
Dameon Pierce - 13 TDs - 86 Touches - 7.7 yds/per touch from scrimmage is 2nd among SEC RBs
Zach Carter - 10 TFL, 6.5 sacks (5th in SEC) - has played wherever coaches have asked and has kicked ass
Jeremiah Moon - 44 games over 6 seasons for the Gators - over 150 total tackles for his career (49 this year)

One of my complaints with HC06 is that its so bland in terms of the HC universe. Here's some things that Madden 08 has that HC06 doesn't:
- On field combine
- Senior Bowl
- Local newspaper
- National newspaper
- Draft day trades
- Fan support
- Media support
There's a bunch of things that HC had that Madden doesn't, but I'd like to have those features too.
What if, in theory, you were to import the HC06 draft classes into Madden 08 and either "Coach mode" or "GM mode" the Senior Bowl after a year of scouting these players on HC?
You could get the added realism of scouting key prospects with real on the field play. You can watch that 350lb RT use his strength for pancakes or that 95 speed WR burn DBs and how well their stats could directly translate to NFL Head Coach and on your team specifically.
If you wanted to you could easily do all the Madden 08 scouting and pre draft things like rookie workouts and the combine, but you'd need to user control the players.
If you wanted to take it even further, and fully scout the entire season of the draft prospects, you could get the Madden 08 college football 15 mod and replace that draft class with the HC draft classes and sim the first season so all the players would be on teams and consider it their senior year. Sim the season to get their stats, CPU vs CPU to scout them against other college players integrated into the mod.
It wouldn't be 100% accurate because Madden doesn't have all the attributes that HC has, things like short, medium, deep accuracy, route cuts/accuracy, etc.
(Might also be able to convert HC career files into Madden roster/franchise files, then use Madden Amp for a less dumbass draft AI from the CPU teams. Not sure if this is possible just yet.)
