here's the Top 25 from FBG 8/31/07. i count for sure 10 BUSTs with 4 secondary to injuries (it's still too soon to tell on adrian peterson). i added 5 "eh's" for players who started slow or are not meeting expectations YET. IIRC, usually half of the top 25 don't perform at their draft position. so while this year seems like the injury bug has bitten more than ever, this year is not THAT dramatically different than year's past. sure some high performing late rounders are out (i.e. ronnie brown), but i suspect the same law of averages holds true for the Top 50.
