The ratings for Madden 27 (which is for 2026 because for whatever reason they date Madden games like new cars) have begun being released. Tuesday they put out the rookie ratings, kicking it off with the players who landed in the top ten.
Notably not among the top ten highest rated rookies was undisputed number one overall pick, Fernando Mendoza.

— Madden NFL 27 (@EAMaddenNFL) July 28, 2026 It doesn't end there. Mendoza didn't just miss the cut either. In order to find the reigning Heisman winner and National Championship winning QB, you need to scroll down quite a ways. Literally 50 spots. That's where Mendoza finally appears with a 74 Madden rating.

— Madden NFL 27 (@EAMaddenNFL) July 28, 2026 This initial low rating among his draft classmates would seem to be mostly a product of the position he plays. But there have been eight quarterbacks taken with the top pick over the past ten years and when you compare Mendoza's ratings to number theirs, it's still low.
Baker Mayfield (2018) -- 81
Trevor Lawrence (2021) -- 78
Joe Burrow (2020) -- 76
Caleb Williams (2024) -- 76
Bryce Young (2023) -- 74
Fernando Mendoza (2026) -- 74
Kyler Murray (2019) -- 73
Cam Ward (2025) -- 72
There are three other Raiders rookies who are rated at or above Mendoza. Here's how the entire class graded out:
QB Fernando Mendoza -- 74
S Treydan Stukes -- 76
DE Keyron Crawford -- 75
OL Trey Zuhn III -- 73
CB Jermod McCoy -- 74
RB Mike Washington -- 70
S Dalton Johnson -- 68
WR Malik Benson -- 69
CB Hezekiah Masses -- 68
DT Brandon Cleveland -- 65
