Actually it's a generous rating.

Witten should have 90+ Awareness, Catching, Release if anything. Route running isn't his strong suite. He gets so open because he reads the defense and finds the soft spot - he's better at that than anyone in the league. He's not getting a ton of separation off of his route running ability.

Kelce gets a 91 off a decent rookie season?? wow. If you honestly believe he's better than Julius Thomas, Vernon Davis, or Antonio Gates you're on drugs.

Let's take a trip back to the 199th pick in the 2000 draft... That should remind us right there not to base everything solely off of scouts.

I'd be interested to know what factor Gronks considerable injury history played in this grade ?

Certainly scouts , however well qualified ,are not infallible.
But until a better way to assess players appears it's the best we have
Stats for sure aren't that ( imagine Murray behind the jags o line etc) and whilst advanced metrics are in improvement they are only a better way to measure production not talent

Woohoo! Gronk 99!

I can't wait for Madden this year.

The best player doesn't always have to be 99 or so close EA smh

I'm sorry if you can't wrap your brain around that, but the data doesn't lie.

Usually I agree with what most of you say but saying Watt is WAY ABOVE a guy like Gronk is one of the most absurd things I have ever read. They are both two of the most dominant players in the NFL today.
