The Madden 20 cycle has come and gone, final awards have been presented, and RZ members are aware of their selection tiers for the upcoming Madden 21 team draft. However, before we completely move on, what better way to end a cycle then to have a draft of the top 32 created players this cycle, well, in my opinion anyway. A lot of players have been drafted, in fact, 1,792 players to be exact thru 8 Red Zone Drafts. I did not include offensive lineman in this because no matter how good they were, they couldn’t stop the pass rush we saw this cycle. Also, some of these players probably excelled greatly in their development due to the great gameplay of some of our members. These players are in no particular order. This past cycle started with season 53 and ended with season 61(9 seasons played and 8 drafts completed).
