1st Tier:
1 LaDanian Tomlinson

2nd Tier:
4 Clinton Portis

6 LaMont Jordan
7 Rudi Johnson
8 Edgerrin James (reflects Arizona)
9 Carnell Williams
10 Willis McGahee
11 Tiki Barber (age discount)
3rd Tier:
11 Steven Jackson (can he stay healthy?)
12 Deuce McAllister
14 Jamal Lewis (assume franchised by Baltimore)
15 Reggie Bush (higher if not splitting time on Texans)
16 LenDale White (ranking depends greatly on team; this reflects Patriots)
4th Tier (risk increases with all these guys):
17 Rueben Droughns (not flashy but productive)
18 Brian Westbrook (status post foot injury?)
20 Willie Parker (3rd down back or more?)
21 Julius Jones (competition)
22 Thomas Jones (competition)

The guy has missed 31 games in his 4 year career and that is without ever really being the feature RB. Carolina would be crazy to give Foster a feature role and expect him him to say healthy for a full season.Foster wil always be splitting time and thus I dont see him in the Top 20....especially since he is oft-injured.
Rough draft..
1. Ladainian Tomlinson
2. Larry Johnson-o-line in tact
3. Shaun Alexander-seems like he'll leave Seattle. Could go down.
4. Clinton Portis
5. Edgerrin James
6. Tiki Barber
7. Rudi Johnson
8. Lamont Jordan
9. Ronnie Brown
10. Steven Jackson
11. Cadillac Williams
12. Willis Mcgahee
13. Brian Westbrook
14. Jamal Lewis-could find very favorable situation.
15. Deangelo Williams-could go down depending on team...i'm assuimg Arizona.
16. Landale White-same as Williams--I'm assuming New England/Pitt.
17. Deuce Mcallister-ACL...injury concern before then...i wouldn't take him.
18. Reuben Droughns
19. Julius Jones
20. Kevin Jones
21. Reggie Bush
22. Willy Parker
23. Tatum Bell
24. Warrick Dunn
25. Lawrence Maroney
1. Ladainian Tomlinson
2. Larry Johnson-o-line in tact

Interesting list, but I think its premature to do these rankings until we know more about who plays on what team.(easier to be a critic than put out my rankings....I know, but its too early to know about guys like Bush, Indy RB, CTaylor, McAllister, A.Green, etc. until we they go into camp and we have more to go on)

I like this cause you went out on a limb and cause I have Portis.1 Clinton Portis
2 Ladanian Tomlinson
3 Julius Jones
4 Larry Johnson
5 Shaun Alexander
6 Edgerrin James
7 Lamont Jordan
8 Ronnie Brown
9 Carnell "Cadillac" Williams
10 Tiki Barber
You raise a very good point. I decided to include Bush because everything seems to be pointing to him being drafted by Houston. I probably have him higher than most but my reasoning is that every comparison I've read says he has Marshall Faulk like talent. The idea of Marshall Faulk playing in the Denver offensive scheme makes me drool. Now the Texans line is not as good as Denver's but they have pretty consistently put up good rushing numbers.
