Madden Power Rankings

[Matt McGuire]

I really like these rankings by the people that produce the Madden Game. At least my Bucs are getting some respect here. They probably do more research than anyone on these players and actually hire people to watch tape and making player ratings. Only thing I am going to nitpick at is I think the Bills are too low, Vikes slightly too high.

1. Patriots 97
2. Cowboys 96
4. Chargers 95
4. Colts 95
6. Giants 94
6. Steelers 94
7. Jaguars 93
10. Packers 91
10. Eagles 91
10. Bucs 91
11. Vikings 90
13. Browns 88
13. Redskins 88
15. Seahawks 87
15. Saints 87
16. Panthers 86
18. Broncos 84
18. Titans 84
19. Bills 82
20. Ravens 81
22. Bengals 80
22. Bears 80
25. Cardinals 78
25. Texans 78
25. Lions 78
26. Rams 77
27. Jets 76
28. 49ers 72
30. Chiefs 71
30. Raiders 71
32. Falcons 67
32. Dolphins 67

Glad to see they aren't on the Browns band wagon. I really like these ratings a lot. I think the Raiders should be higher, but not too much. Agreed with the Bills being too low.

[Vbsiena]

Are the Jets really a 76 bad?

[NoNonsenseCoach]

That's another team I wanted to question since they made so many free agent moves, but I guess they're unproven despite the new talent. QB situation doesn't help either.

[Matt McGuire]

It's understandable why they would have the Bills a little low because imo they will rank towards the bottom of the NFL in sacks. Unfortunate that Derrick Harvey didn't fall to them in the draft so I coulda looked like a genius, but they got the best CB in the draft which is always a good thing.

No pass rush for Buffalo, but their back 7 is pretty good. I expect a breakout year for John McCargo especially if Stroud is healthy.

It's hard to say anyone is bad siena. When I made my mock drafts with my order, I ALWAYS struggled to decide who should be selecting 3-15. Harder to say teams are going to suck rather than teams are going to be awesome.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Their pass rush isn't anemic or anything though. Schobel is really good, and Kelsay and Denny aren't ideal, but servicable.

Agreed. A lot of those teams are the ones hit with the injury bug, which is near impossible to predict.

Well i was thinking like a 80-82 range made more sense with a revamped O/D Lines/LB Core but whatever, it's semantics.

WTF they aren't serviceable they are trash.

Schobel's production dipped from 14 sacks to 6.5 last year. He's a solid end, but not sure he is special against the pass any more.

Well they could be better, but I'm not sold on their WRs, QB, right side of the OL, or Kris Jenkins especially in a 34 defense.

He had more tackles, FF, and Pass Def than he did the previous year. He also provided the same pressure. Sacks are great, but it's more about the pressure.

Servicable is only a step up from trash lol I didn't even call them below average.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Serviceable is no different than saying, "They can play the position, but they really suck and need to be replaced ASAP."

Which is why I was surprised to see your response of "WTF they're trash" like I had dubbed them Pro Bowlers or something.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Lol ok ok.

Pittsberg is not better than Cleveland. The steelers are way too high. Other than that I like the standings.
