I never put much into lists or power rankings. It's all hype.

That goes for Kiper and McShay's six million weekly mock drafts, too. It's all irrelevant.

I feel like they would be silly to do this. Dont they have Jimmy Clausen and Brady Quinn? Not that Im a believer in either of those guys, but I dont think Cam Newton will turn that franchise around with the pieces currently in place. They can use the pick to strengthen a different position.

I like Arod right now. I think he's about to have an even better season. Not sure on Peyton.

KO in top ten though?

He was a top 5 fantasy QB and had the top rated offense (in yards gained I believe) until about 3-4 games left in the season. My belief is coaching led to the collapse he experienced.

Edit: A collapse that lost me my fantasy league

Fair enough. I mean, I am a big fan of KO, but I think his numbers last year are a result of McD's scheme. If he starts this year, I think we will see more modest numbers.

True, had a hard time thinking of somebody else. I think Eli is overrated based on the SB ring. Flacco is alright, nothing spectacular. Personally I was hoping the Jets would wise up and fire Shotty and replace him with McD at Offensive Coordinator. No reason a team with that much offensive firepower should be producing so few TDs (albeit with a young QB).

A lot of people underestimate him. Part of this is because he's a quiet guy. Part of this is because the Ravens Offensive Line was inconsistent last year due to injuries.

Joe quietly had a great season last year. He's only getting better.
