Who are you higher on than most (1 Viewer)

[-OZ-]

Just looking through the staff's rankings, I'm higher than they are on:

Ben - IMO, he's #3

Brady Quinn - I'd take him around the same area as Leinart, Ryan, Rodgers, and Russell - 20ish

Portis - he's my #5/6

Chris Johnson - two have him in the 20's, where I do

TO - he's in my top 10, maybe top 6

Roddy White - but I'm not as high on him as Norton

Eddie Royal - but I can't blame the staff here, there's a cluster of rookie WRs

Marty Booker - purely for short term value

Jeremy Shockey - top 5, esp in NO

Tony Scheffler - right behind Shockey, maybe in front of him if he doesn't head to NO

WR - Dwayne Bowe - Eddie Kennison averaged 58 catches for 961 yards and 5 TD's from 2002 thru 2006. Kennison was known as a very consistent (not studly, but consistent) FF scorer during that span. In Dwayne Bowe's rookie season he caught 70 passes for 995 yards and 5 TD's. Kennison has never caught 70 passes in a season, has only topped 995 yards twice, and topped 5 TD's twice in his 12-year career. With Gonzo aging, Bowe will be picking up the slack in the next few seasons. Barring injury, I'd say Bowe has many 1,000 yard seasons in his future. FBG experts have him ranked as WR15 in redraft, and WR16 in dynasty. That makes no sense to me. I can buy the redraft ranking, but he was a rookie last year. Do the FBG experts think he is going to regress?

Many more guys submit redraft than dynasty rankings. Those who do both have him ranked at 16 in both redraft & dynasty. So the guys who don't vote dynasty like him a little more than those who do.

I realize that more people submitted redraft rankings. Here are the experts who ranked him in both redraft and dynasty (with dynasty rank listed first, redraft second):Bloom - 11, 12

Rudnicki - 17, 15

Haseley - 18, 18

Tefertiller - 17, 22

Pasquino - 24, 18

Norton - 11, 16

Seems to me that a 1st round pick (3rd overall WR taken), who was the top FF scorer at his position in his rookie season, would get a little more love. Rudnicki and Pasquino have him lower in dynasty than redraft (totally crazy), Haseley has him same in both (crazy), and Bloom has him only one spot higher in dynasty vs redraft (huh?). IMO, Tefertiller and Norton are the only ones who are on the right track. I'm not trying to say he will become a top3 WR, but to think he will remain stagnant or even digress is insane. The only logical reason for those rankings could be the situation of the Chiefs, but he and Gonzo both put up strong numbers with Huard and Croyle last season.

I guess I am just higher on him than most, as the thread title suggests.

I'm a big fan of Bowe the player, but looking at the future of the team... run by H.Edwards kills passing #s, and is already showing a commitment through the draft to strengthen the running game and defense. Gonzo leaving will put the bullseye on Bowe unless the rook turns out to be special, or they actually find two good WRs in the same decade in K.C.
