I’m more up in the air with my rankings at the WR position than probably any other position. I’m not confident in Leinart throwing the ball to Fitzgerald. Who throws to Rice if Favre doesn’t come back. Can Kevin Kolb make DeSean Jackson a top 8 WR? How big of a jump in production does Matthew Stafford make in his second season? I really think WR is a position that has a lot of sorting out to do before now and the kick-off of the season. For now the top three I have are those with the least number of questions surrounding them. The rest have so many questions surrounding them that I could probably move them around on a daily basis.
1. Vernon Davis
2. Antonio Gates
3. Dallas Clark
4. Visanthe Shiancoe
5. Heath Miller
6. Brent Celek
7. Tony Gonzalez

For the last several years I have been a pretty big advocate of taking a TE early in the draft. I have some more numbering crunching that I want to do, but I don’t see myself being as big an advocate of that this season. One guy that I really want to keep an eye on in draft is Jermichael Finley. I think he pushes for a top 8 spot and if he goes late enough present some pretty solid value. Heath Miller should probably be someplace in the top 8. I think he gets more looks with no Holmes, but I worry about the whole suspension thing with Big Ben.
