Comments
Eddie Royal a tier above DeSean Jackson? Doesn't Royal play second fiddle to Brandon Marshall? DeSean Jackson is in an offense that knows how to use is talents to the most and will throw more than Denver will (now).Randy Moss, tier two? He's not getting any younger either. I'd have him down at least one tier.Lance Moore, tier seven? In the most pass happy offense in the NFL? He's behind Torry Holt, Devin Hester, and Laverneus Coles?At least you got the top three right!

I'm relieved to learn the 'beast or bust' dude thinks the rankings are 'decent'. Do you feel validated Wess? Unbelievable.
What does the # after the decimal in the age stand for?
I thought it was an injury risk factor, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

Considering Broncos QB and their inept coach, WRs should be ranked much lower, conversely with Cutler as Bears new QB, their WRs deserve much higher rankings

The Bears have WRs?

Less issues with ranking WRs than the RB and QB rankings. Particulary, RBs with more issues.

Percy Harvin 22nd? Sold to you sir. No QB in MIN and they are a run-heavy team. Plus the guy hasn't played a down in the NFL. Plus Berrian is the #1 WR there.
These rookies are all too high IMO. RBs are much easier to project... WRs bust out left and right in the NFL.
It's a position where you really do need to see something out of the guy before drafting them over an established talent.

My advice to anyone reviewing these rankings is do your own research. Don't rely on one person's rankings only.
