2010 NFL Draft: Position Rankings
Now that the Super Bowl has come and gone, this is the time of year when I get bored. Baseball doesn’t start for a month or so, professional basketball doesn’t pique my interest that much anymore (because I’m a Knicks fan) and march madness doesn’t get mad until… well, March. So I thought I’d do things a little earlier this year. I have no allegiance toward either team in the big game this year, so I can focus on what my team (and the other 31) will have to do in the draft to improve in 2010. Of course, before I do that I’m going to break down the top players at each position.
