I really dont think Barlow belongs as high as they have him!

I agree, can't see Barlow over Dominack and Rudi.
Other than that it looks alright. Seems wierd to say but I'm a little worried about Faulk this year. Towards the end of last season he was scoring but mainly on 1 yd. TD runs. That's fine, of course, but the new kid on the block(Jackson) will take some carries away..no doubt.

Too many concerns with Faulk. He is officially on my "do not draft before round three" list. Jam is way too high at #4. I'd put him at least #7 behind Deuce McAllister and maybe behind Ricky.

Gotta love ESPN pushing Vick. Number 17? 2nd QB right behind CPepp. LOL.

I hope he can do it, but man what a "potential" based ranking.

TO dropped quite a bit. I hope he stays there until I draft.

What suprises me is the weight people are putting on last yrs performance for many players. It seems as though the only person they are actually predicting is Vick (and thats a pretty generous prediction) - the rest are pretty much cut and pasted from last yrs final season totals.

I also have a hard time rating many of the 2nd teir RBs as high as they are.

I think Vick should be behind Peyton. I also thing Portis should switch with Jamal. And I would put DD ahead of Barlow also. Those rankings are always a little off, but overall they are pretty good, very nice reference, too. Though this has been posted once...

Oh, and Chad is pushed WAY to far back :-t

These new rankings are much more accurate than ESPN's previous. These rankings are up to date and much better than the old ones, A-Train is no longer in like top 20!! I dont liek Vick so high, and CJ is pretty low with Santana a little too high. The RBs are hard to do onc eu get past first 20. Bennett's stock sored! wonder why.
