Biggest changes since I actually had my rookie draft:
Greg Jennings is now the clear #1 WR
Demeco Ryans is now the clear #1 LB
Luckily I got both in the 2nd round of mine a couple months ago.

The top RBs remain pretty much the same, although Lundy and Bell arguably become 4 and 5.VY does drop a little, but not much. Hawk drops some.IMO Hali rises.Another late round WR: Brad Smith rises some, although not to the top 20.

Mike Bell in the Top 20.
Lundy cracks the top 5. Even a week or two ago he was a mid/late 2nd rounder in 12 team dynasty/keeper league rookie drafts. LenDale White continues to drop, along with Vernon Davis. Jerome Harrison should be rising, maybe to the point of cracking the top 10 now. Leinart's climbing back up, too, though not sure he dropped too far in most leagues while he was holding out. Hank Baskett probably drops out of the top 20 now that Philly traded for Stallworth. Patrick Cobbs might be cracking some top 20s now when most hadn't heard of him a week ago.

I'm trying not to overreact to the preseason, but my top 5 dynasty (read long term success) are:
1. Bush
2. Maroney
3. D. Williams
4. Norwood
5. White
Jennings also moves up to be the #1 WR.
Edit to add: Jerome Harrison also moves up a bunch based on how he has player thus far and Suggs and Green now being out of the picture in Cleavland.

I drafted Robinson as the last pick in the 3rd round (3.12, non-IDP) just based on his situation and his supposed potential. I like what I've seen so far in the pre-season. He may not have much of an impact this year (unless Gore gets hurt) but I think he'll slowly become more involved in the offense (as a 3rd down back) as the season progresses and I definitely think he'll be worth something fantasy wise next year and beyond.

I was actually wondering the other day if by the time the dust settles if this RB class won't be just as good or better than last years.

I wouldn't change a whole lot based on the past two months. Preseason performance counts, but it's important not to get carried away with early returns. Chad Johnson was a complete flop after his rookie season. Justin Fargas looked like a star during his rookie preseason. You see where I'm going with this?
That said, you should definitely bump some guys up. I still rank Jennings behind Jackson, but he's now in contention with Hagan and Holmes for the #2 WR spot. I'd probably take him over Hagan now and I'd definitely take him over Holmes.
I'm still not buying the Mike Bell hype at all. If I took him in the top 15, it would be with the intention of trading him. I don't think he'll last as an NFL starter.
I'm a little bit higher on Lundy for dynasty purposes, but I still wouldn't take him over the elite QBs, WRs, and TEs. He probably belongs in the 10-16 range.
Bush is still my clear #1. Maroney is my clear #2. It's closer after that, but White is probably my #3 with Williams trailing. I never liked Addai and still don't. I wouldn't bother with him.
Marcedes Lewis and Derek Hagan remain nice values. Tarvaris Jackson is also a quality pick. For that matter, all of the top 5 rookie QBs have looked pretty good so far. Leinart is my clear #1. He's the most prepared and he's in the best situation.
Brad Smith, Bruce Gradkowski, and Willie Reid are solid sleepers.
Jerious Norwood and Jerome Harrison move up, but they still have a long way to go before they prove that they can be featured backs. I always felt that these two had talent, but I never felt that either had the right make-up to be a lock for RB1 status in the NFL. I would take a chance on them in the same range that I'd gamble on Lundy.
Anyhow, there are a few things you learn after playing dynasty for a while. One is that any RB with a remotely high draft profile will be overdrafted if he shows any kind of potential during his rookie season. Remember Lee Suggs, Onterrio Smith, Chris Brown, William Green, and Justin Fargas? There are more of those than there are guys like Portis and Tomlinson. Don't get carried away with these rookies yet. Most of them will ultimately disappoint if you're expecting a superstar.

I've favored White over Williams for a while. Neither has stood out this preseason. Williams had that nice return, but has otherwise been quiet.

I took him with the 15th overall pick and that was a week after the NFL draft.

I took Norwood at 1.11 in May!
(yes I am still drinking the Norwood kool-aid)Not much change, bump Jennings a lot though!
My full rankings are subscriber material, but I will reveal that I would take Norwood over Addai, Harrison over Lundy, Marshall over Moss. I also think Tarvaris should sneak into your top 20 if you are needing a QB in the 2nd round.
