Lavonte David is also better than OJ Mayo in my book

Some of those guys will be under OLB. It's also Jerod Mayo. OJ plays hoops

Over Willis YES. Willis is getting name recognition ratings here IMO. I'd go Bowman 1a and Kuechly 1b and Willis would be 3 points overall lower. Just my opinion. He hasn't done what those two have done the last two seasons IMO.

Maybe maybe not. I'd say the same thing about Geno Atkins and look where they have him. I don't expect too much of a drop off because of name. Donny doesn't seem to drop big name guys as fast as he does others.

Mayo will be playing inside. Hightower and Collins are the outside guys.

Mayo is definitely deserving of top 5 status. The only argument I see against it is his injury last year. If he can return to his original form then he is one of the top linebackers in the league.

In other games, being rated in the 90's in considered elite. They have revealed 45 names so far in these releases, 42 of which are considered elite. Not that ratings matter all that much in Madden anyways, but this is something that needs to be addressed (and is long overdue). There is little separation in the ratings, so everyone plays like superstars.

It feel like the ratings have been more spread out the last 5-6 years, but they're slowly skyrocketing up again this year.

On another note, Willis over Luke is a joke, there is no way. Willis has been a premiere middle linebacker in this league for years now, but putting him above Luke is what happens when you put a biased Bucs fan in charge of ratings. Not to mention his slow developmental rating. For a guy who wins DROY and DPOY in his first 2 years, there is few others more deserving of Superstar Dev.

How is Supetstar development relevent or even neccessary for someone rated a Superstar?
