Bob Sorter's 2008 Composite Draft Rankings (1 Viewer)

Looks like I'll have to wait till I go to work tomorrow. I really need to get Excel on my home comp., I assume that's what I need.

Anyways, very excited! Till tomorrow...

 
Great job, Bob!! Your work is greatly appreciated. I was just curious about the weighting of the source rankings when calculating the Average Rating. The one item that stood out was Jonathan Stewart over Darren McFadden at RB. It looked like McFadden was ranked ahead of Stewart in all of the source rankings, except for PFW, yet Stewart was the overall #1 RB. Is the Average Rating heavily weighted toward PFW's rankings or did you factor some personal subjectivity into the calculation of the Average Rating?

 
Also the older SS give me an error when i try to DL them.

Not Found

The requested URL /features/2007DraftSpreadsheetasof04-25-07_Draftguys_version.xls was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It's probably an effect of the Size/Speed Ratio.

Bob, this is truly bad-a##. Question, though : where do all the 40 times and SS times come from? For example, I see Malcolm Kelly listed with a 40 time in the 4.4s when he's been consistently running 4.6-4.7?

Thanks for all your hard work here, this is terrific....

Can we change the 40 time and tell it to re-calculate?

Does it calculate anything based on the 40 time? I thought the rankings were essentially an average of the players' rankings on multiple expert lists...ETA : Never mind, just read the legend and the SSR description...

8 or 9 seems about right to me, but don't let that make you think I don't like Rice. He's really good just in an exceptional class. For fantasy purposes, which isn't the angle with the composite, Rice can understandably be moved higher for having the game of a feature back, as opposed to some of the CoP types before him. Situation will further sort them out. The problem with the composite seems to be a reliance on dated information. Albert should be higher. Kelly should be lower. Risers and fallers aren't accounted for in a timely manner. I also notice Purify and Steve Johnson being ranked in UDFA territory. It happens every year to a solid WR or two, but I have to think those two get picked before some ranking higher.

Good points. I think that if you're hoping for a bell cow RB, Rice is a better option than Johnson or Charles. But maybe those guys do become better inside, high carry runners. Then their athleticism and speed may make them better than Rice. All about your level of risk, IMO.

That surprised me, too, when I saw it. The difference is the way the SSR figures in. I considered tweaking it but it's what makes our rankings different. The bottom line is that I believe the 20 extra pounds Stewart is carrying will serve him better than all the publications are taking into account.

I added to the Legend this year but it maybe didn't stand out enough. Heights, weights, and 40 times in bold are taken from the combine. All others are from various sources I used.
 
I echo the question, where did the 40 times and the height weights come from.

Malcom Kelly is listed with a 4.49 40. When did he run that fast?
