Way Too Early Fantasy Football Rankings

Ok so it may be a little crazy that I'm making my first fantasy football rankings of the year right? No not really, it's never too early to start your blueprints for a fantasy championship. I've composed my rankings with every touchdown being worth 6 points and 1 point per reception or PPR. I rated QBs, RBs, and WRs.  I'll do a top 100 hundred ranking and TE, Defense, and Kicker rankings in a future update. Here's my rankings I hope this helps you.

First off we will start with the most important position in real NFL football the Quarterback.  I rated my top 20 passers here they are.



QBs
1. Aaron Rodgers QB1 Packers
2. Drew Brees QB2 Saints
3. Tom Brady QB3 Patriots
4. Peyton Manning QB4 Broncos
5. Cam Newton QB5 Panthers
6. Matt Ryan QB6 Falcons
7. Robert Griffin III QB5 Redskins
8.  Collin Kaepernick QB8 49ers
9. Andrew Luck QB9 Colts
10. Tony Romo QB10 Cowboys
11. Russell Wilsom QB11 Seahawks
12. Joe Flacco QB12 Ravens
13. Matthew Stafford QB13 Lions
14. Eli Manning QB14 Giants
15. Ben Roethlesberger QB15 Steelers
16. Michael Vick QB16 Eagles
17. Josh Freeman QB17 Buccaneers
18. Jay Cutler QB18 Bears
19. Matt Schaub QB19 Texans
20. Philip Rivers QB20 Chargers

Next we have maybe the most important position in fantasy the running back.  I ranked my top 25 RBs as of right now. Obviously this list will change some because you usually see a couple rookies be contributors in fantasy but there is no way for me to project that at this time.



RBs
1. Adrian Peterson RB1 Vikings
2. Arian Foster RB2 Texans
3. Doug Martin RB3 Buccaneers
4. Ray Rice RB4 Ravens
5. Trent Richardson RB5 Browns
6. LeSean McCoy RB6 Eagles
7. Marshawn Lynch RB7 Seahawks
8. Alfred Morris RB8 Redskins
9. CJ Spillar RB9 Bills
10. Matt Forte RB10 Bears
11. Jamaal Charles RB11 Chiefs
12. Maurice Jones Drew RB12 Jaguars
13.Chris Johnson RB13 Titans
14. Darren Sproles RB14 Saints
15. Stevan Ridley RB15 Patriots

2013 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

Every year since the 2006 NFL draft I've done my own mock draft and have tried to compare it to the likes of Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and Mike Mayock among others.  The crazy thing is my mock drafts have usually been just as right as theirs. Usually mock drafts are far off from what actually happens, but people like the draft experts and myself try to predict it anyway. Here's my first mock draft on this blog.


1. Chiefs-Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M
2. Jaguars-Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan
3. Raiders- Shariff Floyd DT Florida
4. Eagles- Dion Jordan DE Oregon
5. Lions- DeMarcus Millener CB Alabama

7. Cardinals- Geno Smith QB West Virginia
8. Bills- Chance Warmack OG Alabama
9. Jets-  Jarvis Jones DE Georgia
10. Titans- Star Lotulelei  DT Utah
11. Chargers- Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
12. Dolphins- Jonathan Cooper OG UNC
13. Buccaneers- Desmond Trufant CB Washington
14. Panthers- Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
15. Saints-Barkevious Mingo DE LSU
16. Rams- Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
17. Steelers-Cordarelle Patterson WR UT
18. Cowboys- Kenny Vaccuro S Texas
19. Giants- Alex Ogletree ILB Georgia
20. Bears- Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State
21. Bengals- Matt Elam S Florida
22. Rams- Jonathan Cyprien S FIU
23. Vikings- Arthur Brown OLB K-State

29. Patriots- Justin Hunter WR UT
30. Falcons-Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
31. 49ers- Jonathan Banks CB Mississippi State
32. Ravens- Kevin Minter ILB LSU

I promise to try and update my mock draft at least once a week. Come back and see how I try and predict this completely unpredictable event known as the first round of the NFL draft.
