Fade2White12's 2007 Offensive Position Rankings

Meh, mildly interesting. Too average for for me, no sleepers ranked high, everything very "average value-ish" if you know what I mean. Maybe decent if you want to figure out average value for players though.

It's a ranking list...why would he throw sleepers up there and skew the whole thing?

My bad, wrong choice of word. What I meant is that there aren't any players undervalued by average market standards up high. What we have here is basically an ADP list in another form.

[Fade2White12]

Uh, not really.

This is a rank of each offensive position based on comprehensive and cumulative rankings and projections from many different sources. This is a cheat sheet, if you will. Since the information is completely comprehensive, why would you expect such market changes? There would have to be the same sentiments throughout each of my sources... which is pretty unrealistic. I think you have a different perception of what this topic is truly about.

No, I completely understand what this is. You compiled a bunch of rankings together. I'm merely commenting on the usefulness of them. Really, by putting all the cheat sheets into one, you're effectively creating something that reflects the average value of players. Personally, I find it not to be that useful.

agreed. I can go on yahoo and get practically the same thing. Just with some very minor tweaks.

[Fade2White12]

Wow, I guess I overestimated how much the people here would appreciate this compilation. With many hours going into creating this, with over 30 columns of data, I thought creating an almost "consensus" would be more well received than comparing my work to frickin' Yahoo!'s O-Ranks...

I guess I'll leave it up to Yahoo! to do this from now on then. Thanks...

[Peacesells]

I appreciated the list. Thanks for you efforts.

Peace

[Doughhead]

Ouch. Pretty harsh criticism for a comprehensive collection of expert rankings. I, for one, appreciate the effort that went into this and the decision to share it with the Cafe. It sure seems useful to me.
