Don't know if this has been posted yet, thought I'd share it...

#5 in Wideout Rankings? (Ever heard of #89, shoot, what was his name again?)

#11 in QB ratings ?!?!?! (How quickly these guys forget about the play of Jake in the playoffs and Super Bowl. Behind Chad Pennington and Joe Flacco, are you kidding me?!?!? And only above Tavaris Jackson/Frerotte? You must be joking)

Just had to get this off my chest...

yeah #11 for QBs is just wrong, these rankings seem to be more about the scouting reports on the induvidual units rather than how these units work within the team

see how highly our DBs are rated? They are good induvidual players and very talented, we may have the best trio of CBs in the leauge, but they have been getting raped the last few games and shouldn't be rated so high when they secondary has been playing so poorly,

it's the opposite with jake, he deserves alot higher than 11, especially the playoff jake

Are the rankings based on stats, or on subjective analysis? If they are based on actual stats, then its easy to see why our QB and receiver rankings would be relatively low. We don't throw the ball a lot.

Our pass defense is actually pretty good statistically, but we have been run on a lot. Our fans keep harping on pass defense, but its our run defense that worries me. We really haven't stopped a decent running team in a while, and most of the teams we will be playing have run dominated offenses.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
