Reiss' rankings are primarily based on four factors:
1. Talent.
2. Importance in the short and long term (which projects development).
3. Positional value.
4. Economic value.
-------------------------
Jeez. Some of the players I have in my squad dont match who he has. And I certainly wouldn't have Mike Wright as my 20th most valuable player. (At least 15 positions too high IMHO). And Fred Taylor at 41 !!!! ???? !!!! Jeez. He's at least ten places higher on my list.

A 60-man squad is appropriate at the moment. After all, there will be injuries. Welker and Mankins may or may not have roster spots gor Game One. I find his ratings of Wright, G. Warren and Taylor especially interesting.
Some notes, nitpicks and surprises
OFFENSE (25)
If Welker and Mankins are back, I guess his roster is fine. He does have only 8 OL's and Larsen as the backup center. I would include Connolly, but I'm fine with Connolly at 54. A roster spot will open. If not (and we have Welker and Mankins), then we're fine in any case.
I'm fine with Aiken and Slater as two special teamers (Reiss calls them wide receivers which is sort of silly).
DEFENSE (25)
I have only one problem with his list. I would keep another corner instead of Pryor. Green is gone and we've brought in Warren AND Lewis. I just don't see the need for Pryor. I'd rather cut Pryor and keep Wheatley or a street free agent as a 5th corner. Arrington is fine as a 6th corner, a special teamer.
SPECIALISTS (3)
Reiss keeps the obvious 3.
FIRST TO THE PRACTICE SQUAD
I guess that would be Welch and Crable. Deaderick didn't make Reiss' list, but I woiuld expect him to be on the Practice Squad.
LAST CUTS
Larsen sends Ohrnberger packing. I'm fine with that. I'm not as sure of Connolly. I would like to ahve him as a 9th OL.
BOTTOM LINE
I'm fine with the roster, although I expect to see Connolly on the 53 instead of Mankins, and would like to see Wheatley (or another corner) instead of Pryor. In the end, I think Reiss did a fime job.
Very interesting, and thanks for the heads up. FYI, though, posting copyrighted content in full like this is a definite no-go, and can cause a lot of trouble for Ian. Especially with someone like Reiss, who we actually want to support with page hits. For details, check out the stickied thread in this forum.

If i may add, also please provide the link to the article.
I see some spots where I'd disagree pretty strongly with his rankings (Warren below TBC, seriously?), but it's an interesting time killer for the offseason.

I agree, but at best this is subjective.. not sure how this can be measured, the obvious.. Brady, Welker and Mayo but the rest is a crapshoot.
interesting the pick of Butler over Bodden..

And this is NOT MR's 53 but his ranking of players in order of importance to the team.
Bit of a strange criterion but I have one quarrel: how can anyone possibly think that the back-up quarterback is only No. 40 in importance to the team? Let's hope it never happens again, but stuff happens ...

Some writers said Taylor looked old during minicamps and could be in danger of being cut.

You'd have Fred Taylor ahead of Mike Wright by at least 5 spots?
Ridiculous.
