The thing is, ratings can go up or down, depending on training camp etc so those 70's could be as high as 90 for instance, and conversely a 90 might in fact drop 10 or more...just as real-life.

NFL teams routinely trade out of the 1st rd in many drafts for various reasons and the way they judge and value talent. I agree with Morbid that this was a solid draft, though not spectacular, it was adequate in every sense of the word.

Agreed. i have had drafts that the first round pick turned into a dud and the 3rd rounder turned into a stud and an instant starter

I am impressed with how David is improving this game and look forward to the continue evolving of MFN

Just to clarify. I wasn't talking about the entire draft. Just the 1st round.

I just don't see max 70 players as first round talent.

I know they can go up or down, but these first ratings are basically the players "projected" skill level. Unless all of these players go up, there are going to be a lot of max 60 players that were taken in the 1st round.
