I think he's attempting to make a joke about the delay of the release of the presentation blog.

Anyway, I'm mainly curious to see how many rookies' ratings they reveal, and I wonder if they are going to grade Randy Gregory as the first-round talent he was or if his ratings are going to get docked on account of his draft slide.

Completely forgot about that...and have they done that in the past with other guys like Clarett or Rodgers (obviously a different case)?

My prediction Jameis Winston will be wildly overrated.

I think the ratings at least overall wise will fall in line with how rookie ratings have in recent years. I think if there is any big difference it will be in the SPD category. With DM saying they reworked it, my guess is still that they just scaled it back significantly.

I think that the latter will be the case, seems like they've always done it that way. I'm sure Marcus Peters will be lower than all the corners that went before him as well. I'll be interested to see what they give La'el Collins given his situation.

Randy Gregory and La'el Collins ratings better not be impacted simply because draft position. Doesn't indicate talent and that will severely piss me off.

Looking at Blake Borltes rating last year makes me think Winston gets an 81 to start.
I really wish they'd get away from ratings and just go by skill traits though.

Based on various talking heads, Gregory was still a very raw player. He has the physicals, but lacked actual technique, and relied too heavily on athleticism alone. So I'm hoping his physical ratings are high for a rookie, but his intangibles should be low.

Also, he should not be rated anywhere close to what Clowney was rated last year.

As for LaEl, he didn't have much going against him, just a minor foot injury, but I doubt he'll be rated as a top 10 player since he went undrafted.

We shall see.

I understand that about Randy, but La'el should be rated well!
