Not true. I had several guys lower than what Donny had them. Bradford being the lowest. I had him at 76, but would preferably have had him at 74.

Trent Williams was the fasted OL at the draft...but they have Okung ACC and AGI better then Williams

I think he's talking the average of fans votes overall. I'm sure several people here lowered ratings. I lowered several ratings myself (some by as many points as they'd let me...there was a limit) yet the average of fans' choices was still higher than the base ratings Donny had.

Their fans, what do you expect? Of course they wanna jack up the player their team just drafted. Why not?

Also does anyone know If there will be any rookie screen shots? I'll be kinda disappointed if there aren't any. Chargers definitely went after the guy wanted, hopefully he pans out. I thought Houston was going to snatch this guy up but, with so many trades my mock draft was all jacked up.

Welcome to SD Matthews.

Someone please tell me what the community is smoking?

Tebow with 89 throw power? more like 82 tops Look I like the guy, hope he makes it cuz he seems like a good overall person but his arm is jello, no zip, poor mechanics, and one long time scout said his pro day was the worst QB pro day he had ever seen.

Maybe his mechanics can be fixed and he is certainly the type of leader you look for but until he proves he can throw a 12 yard out - I wouldn't want him on my team at QB!

Ratings seem pretty high, but I think this happens every year with rookies. Especially with the stretched ratings now, and most of these guys will have "A" potential, we're looking at a lot of high 90s 2 years in.

I know Suh is awesome, but I'd rather see him start a bit lower and just progress really well since DT is a tough position to step into in the NFL. Start him at 78 the first year then have him progress to 86-87. Same with Bradford--how many rookie QBs perform like 80s their first year? Sanchez and Stafford definitely didn't. Matt Ryan performed 80ish his first year but he was very well protected with the running game.

community? hah

i'd say that most of the votes were people inflating their own team's picks so that they have a better madden team. its madden 07 all over again

Well I think Coach McDaniels saw a high-character guy that could develop into a great(or at least good) PASSER in the NFL, kind of like how McNabb has changed over the years. I mean look at what he did with Kyle Orton, he changed him from a scrub with a piss-weak arm, into less of a scrub, who for the first half(+/- a few games) of the season threw zero picks to anyone except Randy Moss. As a fan do I think 25 was the right place to get him? Kind of. They obviously saw something that they really liked in Tim that was worth three draft picks, and they didn't want to chance the Bills getting him. Kyle Orton is not going to win any superbowls and neither is Brady Quinn, in my opinion.
