    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.

                  I really think that Fournette should be ranked higher then McCaffrey but that is just my opinion because I think that Fourntte will have a better career.

                    I think the rookie ratings are a bit high.

                      I think we'd both agree that expectation/potential goes out of the window when the games actually start. And with 1,600 players to rate? Historically, bad/way off Madden ratings have lingered for much too long.

                      Being on a par (or better) with NFL veterans talent-wise and meeting their production are two completely different things. Every year we have countless examples of draft workout warriors and guys with "potential" who never become average NFL starters.

                      The #1 draft pick (a "cant miss prospect" btw) had 5TDs and 7INTs...his QB rating was 63.6. He had as many fumbles as TD passes....so tell me, did he play at average NFL starter level?....and if not, what's his rating now?

                        It blows mine too. I can't imagine a rating scale where rookies are coming in rated higher than 75 or so....

                          I always think that they should come in a bit lower, but maybe setup as more quick/superstar ratings for a big 2 and 3 year boost.

                            these ratings seem all over the place to me, and many are too high. I wish they showed their development traits - won't know how good these guys are in CFM until we see that.

                              The skill set of player can be high, but what should separate a rookie from vet is the mental game how fast the learn the playbook. Adjusting to the game. I think they are only a few ratings that address the mental aspect is awareness, play recognition , and maybe consistency rating.
