Is it just me or do a lot of those rankings seem way off?

Like which?I think a posting of the WSL rules is in order....

I value many of the players differently, but I think it's a realistic indication of perceived value for the most part. The one that did jump out at me as bizarre was Joseph Addai -- RB #8, Clinton Portis -- RB #13
Some that really stand out to me:QBs
Young at QB 9 - we could be looking at the Vick fantasy football love fest all over again. I just don't see how you take him over guys like E. Manning, Leinert, Roeth and A.Smith.
Lefty at QB 25 - You'd think the guy wasn't even going to start being ranked that low.
RBs
Westy at RB 4 - I love Westy and think he is a great player. He just never stays healthy all year long. #4 seems a bit high considering.
Bush/Addai/Jones-Drew - These guys come in ranked 7th, 8th and 11th. Wow, I know they had great rookie years but they all still have another guy cometing strongly for touches in teh backfield. I think this is jumping the gun.
Portis - falling into the 2nd round is going to be a steal for someone on this guy.
T.Jones/J.Lewis/J.Jones - Unlike the rookie 3 of last year, thesse 3 seem to be way undervalued IMO. 26, 29 and 30 are the rankings of these 3 RBs. T.Jones finished as RB 21 last year, Lewis as RB 16 last year and J. Jones as RB 27.
WRs
I actually like most of these rankings.
There is no way I would take Smith as the 1st WR, but that is splitting hairs. I think Colston is overrated at 10.
I took Lefty as my QB1 (@QB25), but also SSmith as 1WR overallkeep in mind, these are survivor drafts, not my rankings of these players...
Lefty had a nice start to the season last yr, and had a higher ppg avg than many that went ahead of him--I'll take my chances on him
I took Smith 1.13 overall, and probably could have landed him @2.3---I took CTaylor in the 2nd...the RB's I passed on were MJD, Portis, Edge & Deuce
regarding Smith...his 268.4 in this format was WR7---every WR ahead of him played in all 16 games
Smith missed 2 games at the beginning of the year, then was shut out in a game late in the season where Car went 4-7 in the air while running 40+ or 50 times---we could go 5+ more yrs and 1500 games before any team passes 7 times in a game!
all 6 WR's ahead of him posted single digit games, including this "survivor kiss of death" run by WR1 Harrison:
26.3--8.8--34.5--4.1--15.4--1.8--30.2
no thanks to that in this game, as Wayne(WR4) suffered the same type fate as the great games by Harrison usually meant a poor showing by Reggie
Steve Smith is the 1, 2 and 4 reads in Carolina...he gets the first 2 looks, then Key gets a nod and if he's covered, Smith gets the ball some how, some way...period
I'll take THAT guy in this format, over all the others
