Comments
@Stephen: The number after the decimal in the age is part of the age. For example, 24.5 is 24 and a half years. =)

Berrian strikes me as a player who is talented but has been held back with poor qb play, Rex, tavaris, Gus ferrotte, etc...
He is someone who consistantly gets open deep, occassionally struggles to make the catch and has been someoen who I have been scared of as a packer fan for years who can hurt you at any time.
To me he is very simmilar to Lee Evans, slightly less talented and has been someone I draft a lot hoping for a better situation to develop. I would move him to top of tier 5 or bottom of four.

I don't get all of this Percy Harvin love. Sure the guy is explosive, but he isn't even as good a prospect as Maclin is, who probably ended up in a better situation for numbers in Philly. Throw in the fact that he's somewhat raw and is going to take at least a few years to grow into being a starting receiver, and he isn't worth taking ahead of at least 10-20 guys listed below him here. That isn't even taking into account the amount of risk someone with his character concerns has. Do yourself a favor and pass on him, someone like Eddie Royal has such a better chance of being a good pro.

how can DeSean Jackson, a very young wr that has proven his ability to play at a pro level have the same value ranking as jeremy maclin????? who is in the exact same situation except has not proved anything and will have to learn to play in a pro style offense

Wow, Kevin Walter is really really low. Tier 8????

To the guy questioning Percy Harvin. Dude, this is dynasty rankings not rankings for next season. The Qb situation in Minnesota can change. Plus, Rosenfells is an upgrade and Favre an even bigger upgrade. For next season yeah 22 is too high, but not for the future.

Folks about Desean Jackson. Philly isn't even high on him. They drafted another Wr with their top pick and are also considering Anquan Boldin. That to me is a definate sign. Let's see what happens with Desean this year.
