7. Linebacker Jamie Collins: 83

Linebacker Jamie Collins is criminally underrated, he had a monster season last year putting up 81 tackles, seven sacks, a fumble recovery, three interceptions, and seven pass deflections. I’m starting to doubt my own given rating of an 84.

8. Center Frank Ragnow: 83

This was disrespect by Madden, center Frank Ragnow is coming off two seasons where he cemented himself as one of the best young offensive linemen in the league. Putting him at an 85 with the expectation of becoming an 88 at seasons end is more plausible.

9. Running Back Kerryon Johnson: 82

This one shocked me, I had running back Kerryon Johnson slated at a 77. He has been unable to stay healthy and was nowhere near is rookie year production. Not to mention, there seems to be some sort of speculated feud between Madden and Johnson himself.

10. Kicker Matt Prater: 81

Kicker Matt Prater is still one of the best in the game. Having 7 field goals made over 50 yards, with Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye only having one more. A rating of 81 is too low, Prater deserves an 85 or more. Madden needs to fix this.
