Hasn't worked for me either. Newbie thing I guess. I'll alert the people in the know.
Based on this note from the Boston Herald this weekend, which suggests Harrison may not be ready until October, I dropped him out of my top 15. Leg and back injuries are big flags for me, especially in older players.If he's healthy enough to return to the starting lineup, he'll very likely move into my top ten. But if I'm drafting today, I think it's a big risk to take him ahead of any DB who has established starting quality numbers in the past. As my 4th DB with big upside, sure, but I can't justify taking him as a starter yet.
I do see your point, and I'd most likely feel the same way going on that information. However, everything I've read has Harrison on pace to be ready to start the season. I actually read that very piece you posted over the weekend, and I think what they mean is that there is a chance he won't be ready until October, but right now, it's looking like he most likely will be ready to start the season.
Harrison is on pace to be close to 100% by the end of training camp. Even a 80% Harrison is top 5 at his position, the way the Pats use him in the box.
There have been a lot of LOOOONG hours over the past couple of weeks. Obviously not listing Quarles is an oversite but I hardly think leaving a number 40 something linebacker off the list in an early May ranking qualifies as "horrific oversites" Thanks for pointing it out though. Now that I have the projections project under control I can/will go back and spend a little more time on my rankings. I think if you look a little closer you'll see that I don't have Bullock ahead of Vilma on MY overall rankings. He is listed first on the concensus overall rankings.
My apology, I should have made that singular and said "oversight".... but Quarles was the #7 LB and #27 scorer OVERALL in my IDP league last year. I see no reason for him to fall out of the top ten this year, either.... so I'm not sure what you mean by the "number 40" but I also noticed that Quarles is ranked at a lowly #34 in the FBG redraft rankins for LB's...http://www.footballguys.com/viewrankings.p...=lb&howrecent=7There have been a lot of LOOOONG hours over the past couple of weeks.

As for Vilma, I have him as a top 3 LB and the move to the 3-4 won't scare me off. When the Ravens first went to the 3-4 people said it would knock Ray Lewis way down. I think he fell all the way to something like 112 solo tackles that year

This may have a lot to do with the scoring system also. I have him at #30 with a 10% drop in solo tackles (88, compared to 103 last year). There's very little room for error within the group that Quarles lies. Ten additional points would land him at #23 while ten less points would drop him to #50.My apology, I should have made that singular and said "oversight".... but Quarles was the #7 LB and #27 scorer OVERALL in my IDP league last year.

Which I just can't understand. I haven't heard anything about Ruud displacing him at the MLB spot. Maybe you guys have?
My comment about Vilma vs. Bulluck was directed at the overall consensus ranking, not yours. I see now that Bulluck is now #1 on both lists.... it wasn't yesterday, unless I was looking at something else, which is a possibilty. I also didn't say YOU dropped Vilma out of the top five, I have dropped him to sixth in my own rankings.
I am curious to ask the entire staff why Quarles would be ranked so low. There has to be some reason behind such a drop from last year's performance to such lowly expectations this year.
Here is a link to the league I have Quarles in.... I just can't see him going from 7 to 34......

Quarles will be 35 at the start of the season. If it wasn't for the fact they got him cheap, he prolly wouldn't be on the team. IMO he is a nice insurance policy if Rudd isn't ready yet. I think its 50/50 Ruud beat him out in training camp or at some point this season, at the very least he could cut into Quarles playing time.My apology, I should have made that singular and said "oversight".... but Quarles was the #7 LB and #27 scorer OVERALL in my IDP league last year.

Unless there is some solid info on Ruud taking playing time away (and I haven't seen a thing to support that idea) I still don't see Quarles as a forty, or a thirty in the LB rankings. A sampling from one of my leagues last year:Quarles will be 35 at the start of the season. If it wasn't for the fact they got him cheap, he prolly wouldn't be on the team. IMO he is a nice insurance policy if Rudd isn't ready yet.

Same chart, using Zealots scoring1. J.Vilma 170.0
I think that's a mistake.For the rookie IDPs, Wood doesn't have D'Qwell Jackson in his top 42 players????
Obviously a mistake (more likely an oversight)I think that's a mistake.For the rookie IDPs, Wood doesn't have D'Qwell Jackson in his top 42 players????
Since I couldn't add the chart here I did want to add a few things:1. DL remained very consistant up to age 35
