Positional Rankings- No 'Skins in the top 6 at any position?

[GMScud]

Here are CBSSportsline's Positional Rankings (not including special teams). I was surprised to see they do not have a single Redskin ranked in the top 6 at any position on offense or defense. I certainly think Sean Taylor is a top 6 safety, and Jansen and Samuels are top 6 at tackle and guard respectively. What do you think? Half of the list was made by Pete friggin' Prisco, so that could be a reason why...

Complete bullshit article if you ask me

I don't take anything that Pete "On Crack" Prisco writes as serious, like c'mon FRED TAYLOR the 5th best RB in the league? Right now I don't even think he is the best RB on his team!
Ben Watson over Cooley?
Dawan Landry over Sean Taylor? Heck Dawan wasn't a starter till October! I'd take LaRon over Dawan right now.

I think the Skins should have Sean Taylor and Cooley there, possibly Samuels.

Yeah, I forgot about Cooley. Sheesh. These guys are either Skins haters, total morons, or some combination of the two. I agree that the Dawan Landry pick was a joke, and Fred Taylor, while a very good player, wasn't even the best RB on his team last year (Jones-Drew with 16 TDs anyone??)

I do agree Cooley, and Samuels deserve to be in the top six at their positions, but after the season Sean Taylor had last year he doesn't deserve to be in the top six. Based on LAST SEASON alone, I have the top 10 Safeties looking like this:
1.NYJ Kerry Rhodes 98Tck 5Sck 1FR 3FF 4Int 9PD
2.ARZ Adrian Wilson 82Tck 5Sck 2FR 4FF 4int 7PD
3.TEN Chris Hope 121Tck 1FR 5Int 10PD
4.BAL Dawan Landry 69Tck 3Sck 5Int 6PD
5.PHI Brian Dawkins 93Tck 1Sck 5FF 4Int 9PD
6.CLE Sean Jones 111Tck 0.5Sck 1FR 5Int 11PD
7.BAL Ed Reed 59Tck 1FR 1FF 5Int 4PD
8.NO Kevin Kaesviharn 63Tck 4Sck 1FF 6Int 2PD
9.MIN Dwight Smith 78Tck 1Sck 1FR 1FF 4Int 2PD
10.WAS Sean Taylor 111Tck 3FF 1Int 6PD (the homer in me taking over)

Not that I like the offensive picks by prisco but clark judge did the Defensive picks and they are pretty awful too. I don't mean to sound like a biased skins fan but the guy had some bad omissions and inclusions. I mean dawan landry, honestly, I would rather put Roy "Horse collar" Williams on that list not to mention Polamalu and a gang of others

[Winskins]

I saw the title of the thread and I SWORE it said 'prostitutional rankings'...

[Paintrain]

Honestly with the exception of maybe a healthy Portis we don't have any top 5 elite talent players on the team.. Moss & Cooley are great no doubt, I'd say borderline top 5.. Portis, Moss, Cooley, Samuels, Thomas, Washington, Taylor, Springs are all top 10 at their position but top 5 is really elite..

[724Skinsfan]

I'd say Cooley is a top 6 TE but, come to think of it, I don't really think anyone else is. Sean Taylor, Chris Samuels, Randy Thomas, Clinton Portis, Santanna Moss, and Marcus Washington are real close, I guess. All in all, I think we have a lot of really good players, just not incredibly great players.

[mmil12]

This is absolute horse shit! We should at least have Christ (Chris) Cooley or Shaun Taylor! Does anyone disagree with this? Hell you might even consider Mike Sellers in the top 6!

[skinsWill]

Come on guys... He didnt even have Mack Strong or Mike Sellers as top 5 fullbacks. And didnt even have London Fletcher on D...hes averaged what 130 tackels over the last 4 years? Prisco is a joke.

correction: over the last 4 years he has averaged 144.5 tackles/year

[heybigstar]

Dawan Landry as the #4 safety in the entire league?

thats crazy ---

Guys I have posted before about what all the preaseason mags are saying about us. None of them think we will finish higher than 3rd in our division much less reach the postseason. Street and Smith had us at 3rd, Athlons, Sporting News had us 4th, as well as Lindy's. If we do rather well it will shock the hell out of everyone. I was surprised ranking my players that Cooley wasn't top 4, but reading all these preseason rags I can see why everyone else is totally under the radar in terms of rankings. Damn, I didn't even see LLyod in the top 60 for WRs. JC moved up to 24 from 26 with the QB rankings though. You have to remember they are going on last year's perfromance, plus the fact we play 9 playoffs teams this season. Don't take stock in what these guys say, it will be funny as hell if we do make the playoffs though showing these guys are morons. That being said though, I am going to take a wait and see approach with drafting Skins to my FF teams(get them via FA like MR Snyder!!). A big point these rags did make was that for a change we didn't really change from last year, so why expect more? To be honest I am leaning towards agreeing with them.

Because in past years the argument for not picking the Redskins was that we changed too much and were not buidling consistency and chemistry. Now we are, with some tweaks to the defense. But our offense will be exactly the same as the last half of last year with one change (Dock is gone). Well, I suppose two-since Portis will be back. But the point is the chemistry they say our team never has, it should be there this year.

I hope someone shows this to Cooley and Samuels. It's all to the good. I'm telling you, these other teams are in for a shock.
