Voice_Of_Reason 0 Posted March 9, 2008 I think by todays rankings.... 1. McFadden - elite back 2a. Mendenhall - built like a greek god. good all around skills 2b. Stewart - built like a mack truck with excellent speed. Can block and catch 4. Felix Jones - excellent return man lived in McFaddens shadow 5. Ray Rice - excellent player just needs right team 6. Matt Forte - bruiser, decent hands. 7. Kevin Smith - had a ton of carries in college. 8. Chris Johnson - pure speed 9. Jamaal Charles - fumbles too much for me. 10. Jalen Parmele - sleeper pick in a 1 cut system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,545 Posted March 10, 2008 relevance to fantasy football or the topic of rookie talent? I was talking to someone who said the best Fantasy rookies are in the best situations. Yes AD, Marshawn, and Bowe all got to play, but all of their QBs were terrible, yet they still were the best rookies in terms of fantasy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
What is the deal? 1 Posted March 19, 2008 this is my thoughts at this moment, but it changes daily and anybody in any given tier could be rearranged (PPR league) 1) Mendenhall 2) McDaddy (would be 3 if Stewarts wasn't injured) 3) Stewart (too much upside, i'll overlook injury here) 4) Chris Johnson (I see a Bush like role for him, non-PPR knock him down to the bottom of this tier) 5) Ray Rice (could just easily be 5, safe consistent option) 6) Jamaal Charles (upside galore) 7) Felix Jones (see Charles) 8) Forte 9) T. Choice 10) K. Smith 11) J. Hardy 12) L. Sweed 13) M. Kelly 14) D. Thomas 15) S. Slaton 16) J. Forsett 17) M. Hart 18) A. Caldwell 19) M. Manningham 20) E. Doucet 21) T. Brown 22) C. Boyd (RB SC) 23) BGE 24) D. Jackson 25) L. Hawkins 26) Brohm 27) E. Bennett 28) J. Nelson 29) Hester (based on the chance he gets a chance at RB) 30) X. Omon 31) Keller 32) Flacco 33) Henne 34) J. Johnson qb 35) E. Royal 36) D. Avery 37) F. Davis 38) A. Patrick 39) Parmele 40) Torain 41) M. Thomas 42) D. Savage deep deep sleeper- Danny Woodhead This is my rough draft...a little light on TE's and don't plan on drafting any of the QB's... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
