Rookie Classes were definitely broken and overrated... Hopefully that's fixed this year

I would say all of the rookies are overrated. Personally, I think all rookies should be under 80 until the season starts. Prince is a little high IMO, should be around 79 and Von should be a little higher.

I hate that. Ruins franchise mode, there generated rookie classes are crazy. You'll find 6'5 WRs with 98 Speed starting at 86 overall, and it just makes the following year unrealistic. I did see that they re-did the draft classes, so hopefully they fixed it.

Theres a few guys I question on the list since theres 2 DEs and a 28th pick HB rated higher.

Exactly, DeQuan Bowers is something they just can't replicate in Madden the way the injury system is now. This is a guy most scouts think will be a beast for 2-3 years but will break down pretty soon because of his knees. His probable lack of longevity due to a deteriating knee problem is the reason he fell to the second round not because of what he can do right now.
He should be rated up there with PP7 if not higher but then his injury rating should plummet after a few years and his physical skills also after the first big injury. Right now he will be an average Madden DE with a low Injury rating and probably low Potential. He'll be hurt every year in Madden for multiple games but somehow last 12 years in franchise.

Half of that is BS! PRINCE better than VON MILLER! WTF! ROBERT QUINN should not be up there. What makes him better than RAYN KARRIGAN?
Quinn KARRIGAN
40 4.7 4.71
Bench 22 31

And Karrigan should have better AWR and he has a high motor!
Karrigan had a better college career. WTF!
