Interesting rankings.

If not mistaken this is player vote based.

2014

-------------------------

Cameron Wake - #66 Overall, #12 DL, #6 DE

Charles 'Big Play' Clay - #89 Overall, #4 TE

Brent Grimes - #95 Overall, #7 CB

Just to compare,


2013

------------------------

Cameron Wake - #89 Overall


2012

---------------------------

Cameron Wake - #65 Overall

Jake Long - #29 Overall


----------------------

Interesting to see Reshard Jones has yet to make Top 100 list although I believe he was ranked top SS two years ago. Him and Clemons had been top S duo as well two years ago (if not mistaken).

Clay is the number 4 TE?! thats awesome, but is it realistic?

Proabably not. He was ranked in front of Witten to start.

Not sure if he cracks my top 10.

1. Graham
2. Davis
3. Witten
4. Cameron
5. Gronk
6. Celek
7. Bennett
8. Olsen
9. J Thomas
10. Gates/Cook

i bet clays agent loves seeing these inflated rankings of his client...clays not a top 5 tight end...i like the guy and what he does for us but top 5 nah...will probably try and be paid like one though

better hurry up and get paid cause his knees are exposed an awful lot down the seam and it seems to me like a matter of time before he suffers a serious injury because of it...took some shots last year alone that were quite dicey leg planted impact to the lower leg stuff...

I fear that too. There were a couple shots he took last year where I held my breath, but he hopped up and ran to the huddle. Hope we're wrong.

it's the nature of the position now with the rule changes and seam threat tight ends...safeties are going low to avoid helmet to helmet hits and fines...and it's only gonna continue

gronk blew his out on a low hit on a planted leg clay turns into contact all the time after the catch pretty similar just got to hope that when he does take that contact the timing is just off enough that his leg isn't firmly planted...so far we've gotten away with a few...it probably helps us though that clays not massive height wise so dbs feel like they can go more into his lower torso than his planted leg with more form tackles...of course if he keeps shedding em like he did against pittsburgh when they come higher up they will start looking to take the legs out

Wake is Top 3. Grimes Top 5....Clay was overrated.

How do you have Gronk at #5?? When healthy, he is easily the best TE in the league because he can do it all.

7th cb my ass

On the other hand Clay is being overrated

Gronk at 5.... Funny joke

 

[DuderinoN703]

Clay the 4th best TE in the NFL? Strange.

 

[Finex]

For me Wake is top 5, Grimes is Top 7 and Clay top 10 (Better than Celek and Bennett).
Don't know why Wake is underrated, He is held most then any other DL. Maybe because of injury.
Pouncy is not top 100?

I remember a hit from Cleveland week one in particular. Made me sweat a bit more considering Keller had gone down so recently.

since you can't even spell his name right, looks like he is also not very high on your priority list....

That is awesome.

Looking at the list, Miami had a legitimate shot at a lot of the top 20 players. Drew Brees at #6, Jimmy Graham #10, Luke Kuechly #13, Earl Thomas #17, Russell Wilson #20. I like Ryan Tannehill, but man would I have loved Kuechly in the 1st and Wilson in the 2nd. I was so mad when Miami traded down and missed out on Thomas. Graham and Brees were no brainers.

Think where this team could be if it made even half of those picks.
