Joel Buchsbaum did this for Pro Football Weekly through 2002. Joel passed in January of 2003. Buschbaum story

Nolan Nawrocki has been PFW's draft anayst since.

Some feel Buschbaum was as good as it gets and without him content is marginal at best.

Hope formats hold true

Wow! :eek: I had no idea Sims would be ranked higher than guys like Urlacher, J Peterson, Abraham and Bulluck. I know there's talk of him going in the mid-1st to the Vikes, but he's leapfrogging some elite ballers.

I'm also surprised Wimbley is regarded higher than all the LB's listed above (except Urlacher). The guy could/would be a terror as an OLB in a 3-4 (ala Merriman and Ware), but I would have guessed he'd be more in the 6.00-range.

 
On up the PFW scale

9.00-9.99 A once in a lifetime player (e.g. Elway, LT)

8.00-8.99 Perennial All-Pro

7.50-7.99 Future All-Pro

7.00-7.49 Should become a Pro Bowl caliber player
