Added more player analysis today along with a sort feature for the ranking sections.
- Derek Rust
  
  Loving the site guys, I think it would be cool and helpful if you also addes columns showing height, weight, and 40 yard dash time. Just a thought!
jaysports

I agree Derek, great idea. We’ll get that added asap.

Are these rankings for next year, career as a whole, or somewhere in between?
- Burgandy
  
  These are for the coming year. We update monthly and these were done IMMEDIATELY after the draft. Some have already changed but will not get updated until early June. We are in the process as we speak of updating our regular rankings WITH rookies included in them.
  - Dand05
    
    Do you have a suggestion for where to find projected career rankings? Do those exist or is it just too much of a crap-shoot?
    - jaysports
      
      Dand05,
      
      Just to clarify, everything we do here is dynasty format and all of our rankings project 3-5 years out. It’s impossible to project out any further than that due to injuries and team/coaching changes, etc.
      
      Is that what you are looking for?
      
      Hope that helps!
      - Dand05
        
        Seems like you and Burgandy disagree?
        
        But yes, this is exactly what I’m looking for. As you can imagine it gets confusing trying to see what people think about rg3 vs luck and floyd vs blackmon (those are probably biggest two pairs where it seems like this year and longer term prospects will differ) when some of the projections are for next year and some are for dynasty (3-5 yrs).
      - Burgandy
        
        I simply was misunderstanding the question. When we rank a dynasty player(rookie or regular) we alway figure at least 3 years in terms of value. So Jaysports is correct. 3-5 years is what we figure.
- Burgandy
  
  Just to clarify, these are rookie rankings as we stand right NOW in May. They will change again in June with varying circumstances such as trades, injuries, mini-camps news etc. These rankings will be especially helpful in dynasty format leagues with rookie drafts taking place right now.

To me, if one of the three rankers decides a player is OUTSIDE of the top 50, you have to assign 51 to the players value in that position, thus dropping the average rank of that player. For example, Tajh Boyd is ranked 31 by Dan Hosler, but not ranked in the top 50 by the other two rankers. His average should then be 44.33 ((51+51+31)/3). His rank benefits here by not being ranked by two rankers. That seems off to me.
- jaysports
  
  That’s a great point, we’ll have to get that updated ASAP. Thx for pointing that out.
  - Moose
    
    I know I’m nitpicking and these rankings are DESTINED to change every day from the Combine to September, but just seemed off to me.
    Thanks Jaysports!

  I’ve tweaked our average formula to do just what you suggested Moose. Take a look now and I think you’ll be happier. I’ve only done the tweak on the Top 50 rookies so far but will be slowly introducing it to the rest of our rankings over the next week or so. Thanks for the suggestion. Comments are always welcome.

Also love Bernard, but Lacy would minimally be the goal line thumper on all 32 teams. Hard not to take the potential TDs and run With the 1.01. Also like you’ve got Lattimore projected mid-to-late 2nd. I’vegot the 2.04 (16) in one rookie draft ans will certainly take him if available. Maybe waiting a full year or even two, but was sure fire #1 before the injury. Too much upside, and I can take the flier with the how the rest of the team is constructed.

Waiting for the mid April rankings. May as well wait until the draft next week to put out another rankings. How much do you think the NFL draft will change the rankings? Where guys are drafted means alot in the Fantasy World. We will find out next week.
- jaysports
  
  The next rankings release for both rookies and vets will be post-NFL draft as both will be affected by landing spots.

Final pre-draft rankings are up!! Cinda, where they are drafted no doubt means a lot, both realizing expected true NFL value or not in the eyes of the people calling the shots with real bullets, but perhaps more than that is where they land. I think that is particularly true for the RBs this year. There are 15 or so RBs imo that are all capable. Whoever ends up in Green Bay or Denver is going to get a boost, and someone could be drafted to be the starter in St. Louis. The backup to DeMarco Murrary is another position that might have some added value (given his injury history and their offense). I am looking forward to seeing who Cincinnati adds (as a receiving back, you have to think they will add one).

  What about PITT? I think if PITT drafts a RB in the top 3 or 4 rounds, I’m gonna draft him.

You guys seem pretty high on Aaron Dobson WR NE, I don’t know much about him, is he ranked that high because of the TB factor or is just a talented kid?
- http://twitter.com/Dan_DFW Dan Dynasty Football
  
  TB factor certainly helps. He is a classic “high upside” big play guy. Tons of small little issues. Most correctable but has enough to be a very solid fantasy WR in NE.
  - http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
    
    My only issue is that BB hasn’t drafted a quality WR since Branch 12 years ago. If BB has a huge weakness it’s drafting top WRs.

I just drafted Barnard 5th overall, I was hoping he would fall to me. Now Id like a WR 9th overall, then I don’t have a pick until the end of the draft.
- http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
  
  Hopkins and Patterson are still available.
  - http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
    
    Hopkins just got drafted 6th, should I take Patterson if he’s available?
    - http://twitter.com/Dan_DFW Dan Dynasty Football
      
      Yes absolutely
      - http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
        
        I really like Eifert but I have Gronk and not sure if Eifert will produce in year 1 with JG there.
      - http://www.dynastyfootballwarehouse.com/ Jeff Melbostad
        
        Patterson is easily the pick IMO. Hope you land him.
      - http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
        
        Thanks!
      - http://twitter.com/Dan_DFW Dan Dynasty Football
        
        Eifert is great but with gronk u can wait and take Kelce or Reed in the 3rd. Patterson had more upside than anyone in the draft. At 1.07 he is a steal.
      - http://twitter.com/johnfoz0 nedsports
        
        It’s 1.09 so Im crossing fingers!
