Reuben Foster with a 76 overall rating? He should be one of the top overalls of the rookies

Surprised that there's such a difference between Garrett and Barnett.

Madden's ratings guy consistently blows these ratings. Guys coming in with ratings (Garrett, OJ Howard) that exceed solid/good veterans with actual production?

Come. On.

I'm not even touching McCaffrey's 81 (huge eyeroll) anyone who plays Madden knows he'll be a HUGE weapon until he proves he isn't--when it should be the other way around.

I 100% agree...but how are you suppose to rate rookies? Some will be better than vets...unless you want all rookies to come into Madden with a 60overall rating, which is unrealistic

Some of it is expectation based off of draft slot also, I mean do you not think these guys wouldn't have been drafted as highly as they were if they weren't on par, and better than some NFL veterans talent wise??

Outside of QB, no one drafts top 10 picks that they don't expect to come in day one typically as a starter and be productive. I'm at a point where I don't care so much about the overall, I look at the players skill set for the position.

Now once we get to the bottom of the 1st, and into the 2nd and beyond I think that's where we can really begin to question higher ratings. However when constricted to the top 10-15 I think some arguments can be made that these guys are better than some starters on NFL teams already.

You sure? ok i'll bite...other than Bosa, Zeke and Tunstill which first rounders played at AVERAGE NFL starter level? and sure--i'll wait.......

Oh, and for kicks which 2016 draft picks who were rated high and didn't produce went down? THAT'S WHY they can't be exceeding guys who are actually solid/good UNTIL they actually...you know...play well. Mister Ratings Guy rarely gets around to fixing bad ratings.

Christian McCaffery is God, apparently. Holy moley that's quite a rating for him.

When you look at the list, almost every first round pick is rated as a quality starter in Madden. This rating scale blows my mind.
