Years ago, before Twitter was as popular as it is, one of my favorite parts about buying a new Madden game was seeing what the incoming rookie were rated.

I’d spend the first few hours of the game just looking at the rankings, not even really playing the game. I’d look at overall, then skill attributes, then intangibles, and even the gear they were wearing. Those little parts of the game are why I loved playing.

Nowadays, Madden gives us a little sneak peak at some of those rookie rankings by releasing the overalls for all 32 of the first round picks that will be featured in the upcoming. game.

Here’s what they are.

So , what do you think?

I certainly have my opinions, but who’s too high and who’s too low in your mind?

Let’s hear it!

*UPDATE: These are the rookies ratings just for Madden’s Ultimate Team, which might not necessarily be their overall in the game itself. They did this the year before where they just rated the prospects on draft position. Which, OK, but it’s still odd to release as such.*

P.S. I’ve floated around the idea of having a “Pewter Report Madden Franchise League” for PS4 and Xbox One in the upcoming Madden 18. If any of you are interested in that, let me know!
