Thanks for the list. What position settings did you use?

[on the road]

I know that VBD ranks QBs pretty low, but isn't it a little surprising that the #1 QB is ranked 28th? I was expecting Peyton to be around 12 - 15. I guess this is even more reason to pass and let someone else take him.

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D

Well, my VBD Calculations also have a positional scarcity modifier, which accounts for the relative scarcity of the various positions... So that plays a role in the devaluation of QBs and TE's...

im really surprised that you have Dunn 38 spots higher than Lewis, i really like Lewis to bounce back and ive never seen Dunn close to that high

I think PLindsey's lists are usually strictly mathematically based, so wouldn't take into account Lewis' possible comeback, and might rank Dunn higher due to his good season last year.

[smackthefirst]

I love the SJax love, but I don't know if I could put him above Portis. If Tiki and Portis were flipped, then I would be right with you.

But stellar list as always.

Since this is a VBD sheet and not rankings, Peyton Manning looks WAY low to me. Same with Gates (unless you predict a serious decline). I think you've got your RB value set too high, last year was somewhat of an anomaly..

[jayday]

Wow, it's quite a list....Nice work on ranking that many guys....Here are my knee-jerk reactions on players that looked 10 or more picks out of place to me....

16 ) R. Johnson - a tad low, normally 1st rounder, not too low though
27 ) D. Branch - high...Early 3rd? Not with the way Brady spreads it...
37 ) J. Horn - high....Stallworth and Bush eat in to his production
38 ) L. Evans - high...Not with JP at QB
45 ) R. Droughns - low...No real competition for RBBC
74 ) K. Jones - low...He blew last year, but not 8th round suckage...
82 ) K. Winslow II - low....Just a hunch that he explodes this year
93 ) A. Battle - way high....No way am I drafting the 5th option on the worst team in football....In any round!
98 ) D. McAllister - low....He's no Deuce circa 2003, but he's better than this...
108 ) R. Dayne - low....Denver RB, need I say more?
109 ) R. Bush - low....He has to be higher
113 ) J. Porter - low....He was quietly productive last year
136 ) C. Benson - low....Potential to start or at the least split
151 ) L. Maroney - low....Same as Benson

To me it looks like you have quite a few RBs undervalued and WRs overvalued....At first I thought it may have been a PPR league....
