It's all good!

I am not a big fan of Slaton though, he reminds me too much of Calhoun from Wisconsin a while back in that he has incredible straight ahead speed but not much agility. He does have a nice set of hands though.

I do think a guy like Manningham can skyrocket if he stays more consistent this year. He does have all the tools to be great.

I didnt notice anything from you on Ray Rice from Rutgers though, isnt he a junior this year?

Slaton may not have great agility, but it's still pretty good and he is elusive. The main thing I like about him is his amazing balance, vision, awareness, and instincts. When you add into that he's extremly hard nosed style of running (fighting for every yard and never giving up), it's hard to not like the guy even though he doesn't have ideal size.

Yes, Ray Rice is a Junior this year. I don't like him very much though. Below average size, average speed. I will give him credit though, he has some damn quick feet and great balance that make him a very good runner. He's productivity is through the roof, but I only see him as a 3rd Rounder right now. There is a lot of Emmitt Smith in him though, and we'll see how he does this season without Brian Leonard. He could easily skyrocket up my boards, or stay right where he is. We'll see...

Defensive Line has been added.

hey, J, when you add other positions, do you also update other positions as well?

Sometimes. I have to update the FB Rankings a bit, and the Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Offensive Tackles, and Offensive Guards a littl bit, but not much. I'll add those tommorow.

Professor

i meant the positions that you already had posted, things change quickly in the world of the nfl.

I added some small edits. The middle of the Fullback rankings look a bit different, but other then that, it's just a few minor ups and downs. I did drop Will Arnold a lot though (#2 OG to #8). Arnold is strong, a very good run blocker, and has a nasty attitude while providing excellent leadership and has a high motor. But, his mobility is limited as he struggles to get to the 2nd level and and in free space. Plus, he suffered a major knee and ankle injuries last year which could only hurt his already average mobility. It'll be intersting to see how he rebounds from the injury this year, but as of now, you gotta think it's not going to be good. That LSU O-Line is good and has depth. If Arnold slips up or his talents show to have significantly decreased since the injury, then he'll find himself on the bench.
