Big Board: Player Rankings

The first Yahoo Big Board of the year was released April 10. Some may have noticed, some may have not. If you want to see the full board, see this.

I just want to break this down into the first three rounds of the draft for us:

Round 1 Talent:
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Michael Turner
3. Maurice Jones-Drew
4. Matt Forte
5. Brian Westbrook
6. LaDanian Tomlinson
7. DeAngelo Williams
8. Larry Fitzgerald

Round 2 Talent:
9. Steven Jackson
10. Brandon Jacobs
11. Chris Johnson
12. Frank Gore
13. Steve Slaton
14. Clinton Portis
15. Drew Brees
16. Marion Barber

Round 3 Talent:
17. Andre Johnson
18. Peyton Manning
19. Calvin Johnson
20. Steve Smith
21. Randy Moss
22. Tom Brady
23. Anquan Boldin
24. Roddy White

Just to be clear, the rule is that if you keep, say, two 2nd round talent players, you lose your 2nd and 3rd round picks. Two 1st round talent players (Taylor) = loss of 1st and 2nd round picks, and so on.
