FYI,
Defensivie tackles Ryan Sims and Dwan Edwards were resigned by Tampa and Baltimore. Edwards could have been a no risk signing for the Redskins. He was hurt in 2008 but did well in 2007 as a replacement for the the Ravens.

Leonard Weaver is 88? That can't be right.

Leonard Weaver is 88? That can't be right.In the context of position, I would say it's fair. He clearly brings an element to the offense that most FBs don't.
Sellers on the same scale would be a 90 or a 91, so it's pretty moot from our perspective, especially so since he signed with Philly a day after I sent these in.

Great Job. However I would say that Tory Holt is still the best WR available...he can still play. Where did you get the rankings from?

Where did you get the rankings from?The rankings themselves are mathematically based at positions like QB, RB, WR, CB, S, and DL...but I did create the 79 scale myself, so I guess they become my own ratings.
Positions like FB, OL, LB where the ratings can't be based much on data are a best guess by me to place them on the 79 scale based on how they've been used, and thusly, obviously subject to human error and bias.

He signed a one year contract with the Eagles at age 26. That aught to tell you something about him. I've seen the guy play plenty, he's so-so at best and if you look at the game logs they tell you just as much. He's a slightly better catcher than Rod Gardner, his blocking leaves much to be desired much of the time, and his running is inconsistent. At 87 you're too kind to Mr. Weaver.
