Posted in a different thread last night:

1. Adrian Peterson

2. Marshawn Lynch

3. Calvin Johnson

4. Dwayne Bowe

5. Sidney Rice

6. Anthony Gonzalez

7. Laurent Robinson

8. James Jones

9. Greg Olsen

10. Brady Quinn

11. Trent Edwards

12. Ted Ginn

Sleepers: Kenny Irons, Kevin Kolb, Jacoby Jones

The top 4 seems pretty set in stone. Some people seem to favor Sidney Rice over Dwayne Bowe, but it's difficult to justify ranking Rice ahead of Bowe at this point given their accomplishments on the football field. That said, the guy who's quickest out of the gates isn't necessarily the best player in the long-term (see: Rod Gardner, Michael Clayton).

Slots 5-8 are filled by promising WRs who have shown flashes of talent. Ranking these guys is really a matter of personal preference since they're all pretty similar on paper. The way I see it is this: Rice is the most freakish, Jones has the most yards, Gonzalez has the best pedigree and supporting cast, and Robinson has a little bit of everything.

Olsen has had a quiet second half, but seems to have enough upside to become a perennial top 6 TE. He's a better athlete than the likes of Heath Miller and Marcedes Lewis.

I rank Quinn over Edwards because I like the situation in Cleveland more than I like the situation in Buffalo. Edwards has been pretty bad at times this season, but I think his performance has been relatively promising overall.

Ginn rounds out the top 12. IMO he hasn't been as good as guys like Robinson and Rice, but he's certainly fared better than Jarrett, Davis, and Meachem.

Jacoby Jones, Kevin Kolb, and Kenny Irons are guys I like for the future. I wouldn't give up much to get any of them, but they seem like players who could emerge over the next 1-3 years. Jones is speedy with good quicks. Irons is the third best RB from this class. Kolb was an early pick who has generated some buzz.

Comments:

It's splitting hairs between Quinn and Edwards for the QB1 slot. Edwards has shown more flashes early, but Quinn has a better pedigree and a much better supporting cast. Kolb is probably the best value of the QB bunch since he offers high upside at a low cost.

Kenny Irons is probably better than Selvin Young, but Young gets the nod for the RB3 spot since he stayed healthy and potentially earned a shot to start in 2008. This is a weak RB group and I'm not excited about any of these guys after the top 2-3 talents.

The WR group is pretty loaded. Bowe and Calvin are the big names, but Robinson, Gonzalez, Rice, and Jones might offer the best value in dynasty leagues. All four seemingly have top 20 potential at a discount price.

Russell?
I wouldn't trade any of my top 12 guys for him. I think Kiffin has a chance to be a pretty good coach, but I don't see a lot to like about Russell or the Raider organization in general. QBs are always a risky proposition and I'm not wild about paying top dollar to take a gamble on an unproven passer.
 
The race for top running back has narrowed considerably. I don't know whether Lynch would have put up Peterson's numbers in Minnesota, but no way would Peterson have matched Marshawn's numbers running behind that line in Buffalo. Mr. All Day would have been lucky to make it to the bye week in one piece . . .

I hope these guys are better than they performed this year because this appears to be a terrible draft class for QBs

Are you serious?
The Bills O Line has to be the most under-rated positional group in the NFL this year. I thought they did a great job all year, with only NE and Pitt giving them a lot of problems.
