The Long-Awaited Uncle Heatster Vertical Sort

[dryheat44]

I'll get the horizontal and mock draft up later...or get fired trying. As a reminder, these are my subjective rankings based on the Patriots system and their current roster. There's a lot of people missing. I know. It's probably intentional, but I don't want to have to justify why I left off 20 different players whom you happen to really like. It's also longer than I would have liked, but I'm quite obviously running out of time to cull the list more.

[JackBauer]

I like Hankerson over Baldwin. But I just don't like Baldwin... at all.

 

[SirApropos]

Kris O'Dowd has a chance to go undrafted because of his horrible offseason that started at the Senior Bowl. How is he at the top C spot?

 

[TriplecHamp]

nice, but no Rob Quinn?

 

[PowerRunRevival]

I like most of these rankings even if they are controversial compared to what some of the "experts" say. I really like Ryan Williams over Mark Ingram. I think Williams is going to be an elite RB right away. You must really not like Cam Newton if you don't have him ranked at all.

 

[Urgent]

Why is Quinn off your board?
