I think you can start making arguments when you get to Baldwin & Edelman, maaaaybe TY. I'd still probably take Marshall based on last season. Anyone from the first 8 names (AB thru Dez) is a pretty tough sell.

Yeah, not seeing an issue with 88.....that's pretty high on the new ratings scale.

I follow Jacksonville very closely so I know everyone may not be aware of what they're doing but if you think Allen Robinson is okay at an 88 with those stats then that is fine. I would ask about these then as a follow up:


Blake Bortles 82 overall - Kirk Cousins is higher (LOL) Bortles had more yds and 6 more TD's


TDS
35
INT
18

YDS
4,428

RTG
88.2




Telvin Smith 80 overall - Maybe the most athletic LB in the league and great in coverage

TCKL
128
SCK
2.5

FF
2

INT
1

The big question then is do you think Robinson should be ahead of any of those guys? Then it's a matter of comparing him skill for skill with those in front of him. I don't always agree with the ratings, but I can see why they are the way they are.

I agree with this regarding the Jags.

With my Chargers, team wise I knew they wouldn't be top 10. But I believe they have some of the better players are certain positons.

Verrett is 13th ovr CB and tied with 3 others at 88 OVR. I think thats a fair spot considering whose ahead of him (Talib, Trufant, Slay are 90s)

K Allen is also 88 OVR and in the same boat as Robinson. The only person I think Allen should be ahead of is Edelman and Golden Tate. The top 10 WRs are the truth.

I'd take Robinson over Jeffrey, Baldwin, Edelman, Hilton...

Your post seems to suggest an abstract view rather than a contextual one. 88 within the context of what we are dealing with here is very high. I'm not sure what more could be desired. All of the ratings that matter for the position barring release are 90 or above. What more do could anyone want? This is a beast WR in Madden. Let's take one of the guys above him. Compared to Edleman, who, I'm more mehhh on but anyway, Robinson has much higher Spec Tac catch, a higher release, and he's just a faster WR. So while Edleman is higher ovr, Robinson actually could be a better WR depending on how you play. Edleman's route running, catch and CIT are higher, but not by too much.

In comparison to Tate, Robinson has a higher CIT, Spec Tac, he's slightly faster, and he has a higher release. OVR is one thing, but looking at the individual attributes is important IMO, especially for play style and use.

I would probably to if I were Jags fan. That's the point, though. Those guys are debatable.

Except for Alshon Jeffrey. If you'd take Robinson over a healthy Alshon Jeffrey you're crazy.

A lifelong Jags fan? What year were you born? lol
They have only been around for like 11 years.
