How good are the top rookies?

This is not a madden conversation, per say, but when I create my draft classes, I usually make most of the first round guys high 70ovr to low to mid 80ovr with an occasional freak at 90ovr. My theory is some of these guys come out being top five at their position in the league and I think that is a fair analysis. 

At what point do you guys see that cliff from mid 80ovr to mid 70ovr?

What are steals in the later rounds worth? Should Tom Brady have been an 80ovr from the beginning?

Please keep this civil. I'm simply curious on how we actually view our rookies, relative to the og's already in the league.

Keith Taylor Jr. 83

If that was the "real life" results, it would probably be one of the greatest draft classes in NFL history

Proceeds to make it a Madden conversation.

Don't they start players lower these days? Fizzled out of most vid games in the early 2010s minus skating & nba2k.

Figure skating? EA Sports Scott Hamilton 2021?

How the hell are we supposed to know this before we see them play?

Rookies always get the stank face when they see their madden rating.

and THAT is my point. It's a madden thread for sure.. but i'm curious where people feel the top of the draft should be rated. Like your top five players should be, if not busts, what? upper 80's?

I haven't played since PS3.  However, I might put my top pick in the 70s.  The gotta have room to grow.

      OK, switching gears here a bit because I did not want to start a thread about uniforms again because this is tongue-in-cheek humor----or is it?    Background Information:  My wife is a Taylor Swift fan (A Swiftee).  She says that Taylor Swift puts subtle "clues" in her videos and lyrics, hinting what might be coming soon.  Here is an example of clues that may indicate future releases or upcoming events:    I see a lot of similarities between Dan Morgan and Taylor Swift.  They both spend a lot of money and time on their hair.  They both have the same vowel (a) in their first names.  Taylor Swift has 11 letters in her first and last name and was born in 1989.  Morgan was born in 1978--11 years earlier.  Eerie.  So it is probable that Morgan drops hints when he is on Television.  Most recently, I noticed a shot during his appearance on Pat McAfee's show.  See if you can notice it.  I will give you 30 seconds (30 second pause).  OK, did you see it? In the bottom left hand corner of the photo, it appears that he has a canister of roll-on deodorant.  I am guess "Axe" scented.  Just to the right of his shoulder, I see a smoothie mixer, probably a Ninja "Bullet."  "Axe" and "Bullet?" We are going to war, it seems. Then there are two mini helmets, one being Morgan's alma mater, but it is also a symbol for "hurricanes."  Fall is hurricane season, the season during which we shall go to war. Between the two helmets, there is a framed, blurry, red herring clue--Morgan's gold-plated volunteer junior deputy badge.  But the real clue is there, in the far right hand corner of the picture---a WHITE Carolina Panther helmet.  Not silver.  WHITE.  Hmmmm.  A WHITE Panther helmet in the GM's office.  What could that mean?  Men with war axes wear helmets.  Men going to war with bullets wear helmets.  Men in hurricanes wear helmets (I am speculating).  White helmets to usher in hurricane season.  The calm before the storm.  Uncanny.

      #1 defense in the NFL. A bunch of rookies wasn't gonna help that unit. Yet out there with UDFAs starting on the oline and nutting up the Super Bowl.
