DMD Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 In light of a request, I am releasing my preliminary Top 10 for RB's for 2006. This is not final but actually, it probably is barring some unforeseen event. Drumroll... 1 Johnson, Larry 2 Tomlinson, LaDainian 3 Alexander, Shaun TIER 2 4 Portis, Clinton 5 Barber, Tiki 6 James, Edgerrin 7 Brown, Ronnie 8 Jackson, Steven 9 Williams, Carnell 10 Johnson, Rudi To be honest, the only change I may make would be reversing James and Brown. No major surprises here but then again, probably shouldn't be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 So far the Consensus Huddle picks mirror it exactly through 5 picks and looks like through 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'd maybe swap Rudi and Caddy, but other than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Trick Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Looks good, it's not my personal top 10, but I have nothing wrong with this list at all. My rankings are always a little different than everyone elses concensus. There is always going to be a top 10 pick get hurt and I have mine pegged already, but I won't go around spouting off that such and such player will be hurt by week 3 or between weeks 3-6.

NAUgrad Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I would definitely swap Brown and Edge. AZ is a RB's hell until proven otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Jordon has to be top 10 why? Because he plays for a team with a long tradition of winning with a power house offense ... oh wait, nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Ronnie Brown, Caddy Williams, and Steven Jackson are riskier picks than Rudi IMHO. Caddy and SJax have had the injury bug enough to make an owner worry. Ronnie Brown might be better, but I think it's a risk to take him over a young, proven back. Both do have questionable QB situations, but given the type of QBs Palmer and Culpepper are, I think it's much more likely that Palmer will be back in the saddle performing well while Culpepper will struggle with his mobility. Rudi hasn't missed a game in 2 seasons and was the #7 back last year. Perry will break another fingernail and get out of the way. EDIT: Remember last year when Kevin Jones and Julius Jones were ranked over Rudi and Tiki. I don;t have access to 2004 rankings, but I am sure some other young bucks were ranked too high. Give credit to the vets when credit is due. Edited June 7, 2006 by Caveman_Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to argue against what you are saying, call it a hunch or whatever, but I think Rudi is maxed out on his production, his numbers were slightly better in 05 vs. 04, I see all 3 of those guys with the key word here "potential" to be top 5. I know many owners want a guaranteed first round pick, but aside from the 3 there really isn't anyone. I tend to try and take risk/reward picks in the early rounds, if they don't pan out then hey I missed one, but I'm right more often than not :ducks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's been a top 10 2 years running. What have the other guys done? I'm in the group that doesn't like to play hunches with my first round pick. I'm not saying that one of those guys won't outscore him. All three might outscore him. But if I am betting money on my team, I'll take the guy I have seen be a top 10 RB 2 seasons running, and the #20 back in 2003 after sitting behind Dillon for the first 5 or 6 games.

Grits and Shins Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 <BREAKING NEWS> According to this 's sources Willis McGahee will come in at ELEVEN in the official Huddle rankings released early next month. At this time I am unable to release the source of my information, but the source is generally pretty reliable (although his predictions are often wrong and have cost many Huddlers the chance to win their leagues).

Trust me - that is a major concern for me and is why I am just not comfortable with it. On one hand - it's Edgerrin James! On the other hand - it's the Arizona Cardinals! interesting pick no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he has topped out yet but he is very consistent and that has to be an important factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Portis won't finish top 10. Remember '04, 5 TD's, more of that to follow. But all of you can feel free to draft him way too early if you're in leagues with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all of you can feel free to draft him way too early if you're in leagues with me. Even in 2004 Portis finished 11th...sure it's not top 10, but it's as close as you can get...that and 6th in both 03 and 05... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
