SportsCenter's "Ultimate Depth Chart"

BigEd76 · June 28, 2006, 11:02:52 AM

Has anyone else been watching this throughout the week? ESPN's NFL "experts" are ranking 5 categories for each NFL team: QB quality/depth, RB quality/depth, WR/TE quality/depth, pass defense and run defense.

Link to rankings

The Eagles are 6th in QBs and 31st in RBs and WRs/TEs, ahead of only San Francisco.

Offensive rankings:

01 = Bengals
02T = Seahawks, Panthers
04 = taterskins
05 = Patriots
06 = Giants
07T = Colts, Chiefs
09 = Steelers
10 = Broncos
11T = Falcons, Rams
13 = Saints
14 = Chargers
15 = Cardinals
16 = Ravens
17T = Cowboys, Dolphins
19 = Vikings
20 = Buccaneers
21 = Jaguars
22 = Texans
23 = EAGLES
24 = Bears
25T = Raiders, Packers
27T = Jets, Lions, Titans, Browns
31 = Bills
32 = 49ers

Yes, I know. It's ESPN, and all of these lists don't mean s**t, but it's for entertainment I guess. The taterskins at #3 for WRs/TEs though? c'mon...

they also have the skins as 14th in QBs. ha.

Having the Skins anywhere above 20 or so for QB's immediately takes it out of the running.

I think that the Eagles RB's are underrated, as Moats may be quite productive this year also, but the pass catcher rating is fair until proven otherwise. Let 'em earn it.

Do they Raiders really have that bad of an offense--think about it

Glad to see the Texans improved that O-line to make them heads above the rest there...nice

Yeah, look out for those stellar Vikings WR's and that young, cut and chissled QB

Im applying for a job there

Now that it's being run by Aaron Brooks? Yeah.

he might surprise you bud

no need to beat a dead horse and go down this road again

PoopyfaceMcGee · June 28, 2006, 11:40:38 AM

Um, no. Aaron Brooks stinks.

Mark Schlereth licks Gibbs' taint. Salisbury is kissing up to the Skins now that they made him look like a douche last season.

I looked in on it... and when I saw they ranked the Eagles #31 among RB's... I stopped watching, because I knew it was just a fluff piece based on little to no facts.

These fools will be kissing the Eagles dicks my midseason.

BigEd76 · June 28, 2006, 12:02:48 PM

I'm expecting a decent ranking for the pass defense, but they'll probably be in the bottom 10 for run defense, based on the last decade...

Feva · June 28, 2006, 12:04:32 PM

Of course... we've dropped right back into the bottom ten as soon as we lost the "run stopper" Corey Simon.

MadMarchHare · June 28, 2006, 12:08:58 PM

It's all based on fan-voting. They've been running the polls for the last week or two on their website. There's no objective analysis here.

BigEd76 · June 28, 2006, 12:10:03 PM

The fan ones are ranked separately. ESPN is doing their own, which is what I linked to...

new environment, new coaches, new players (quality receivers) can do wonders...look out

The taterskins at #3 for WRs/TEs though?

if you count cooley as TE which im sure they did...then that ranking is legit

as legit as their qb ranking is not legit
