    Kiper Rookie Rankings

    1. Sheldon Richardson, DT, New York Jets
    2. Kiko Alonso, ILB, Buffalo
    3. Kenny Vaccaro, S, New Orleans
    4. Star Lotulelei, DT, Carolina
    5. Alec Ogletree, LB, St. Louis
    6. Geno Smith, QB, New York Jets
    7. Keenan Allen, WR, San Diego: Maybe he's a little high based on aggregate performance, but this shows some respect for the trend line. After a slow start (not uncommon for a rookie wide receiver), he's now tied for the team lead in targets among wide receivers with 37 and has 23 of his 26 receptions over the past four games. Allen is a first-round talent that lasted until the third because he couldn't get healthy during the draft process. The Chargers are reaping the benefits.
    8. Tyrann Mathieu, S, Arizona
    9. Eric Reid, S, San Francisco
    10. Jordan Reed, TE, Washington
    11. Giovani Bernard, RB, Cincinnati
    12. Desmond Trufant, CB, Atlanta
    13. Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay
    14. Travis Frederick, C, Dallas
    15. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston
    16. Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas
    17. Larry Warford, OG, Detroit
    18. D.J. Fluker, OT, San Diego: It's clear he belongs on the right side. But he'll be a good one there.
    19. David Bakhtiari, OT, Green Bay
    20. Ezekiel Ansah, DE, Detroit
    21. Barkevious Mingo, OLB, Cleveland
    22. Kawann Short, DT, Carolina
    23. Joe Vellano, DT, New England
    24. Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati
    25. Marcus Cooper, CB, Kansas City
    26. Kyle Long, OG, Chicago
    27. Kayvon Webster, CB, Denver
    28. Kenbrell Thompkins, WR, New England
    29. EJ Manuel, QB, Buffalo
    30. J.J. Wilcox, S, Dallas
    31. Jordan Mills, OT, Chicago
    32. Robert Woods, WR, Buffalo
    33. Andre Ellington, RB, Arizona
    34. Tavon Austin, WR, St. Louis
    35. Eric Fisher, OT, Kansas City


    Per Kiper, top OT and top WR so far.

    Is this based on production? There are some guys on this list ahead of Fluker who shouldn't be there if that's the case.

      Simply, Kipermetrics:

      Again, the usual parameters:
      • The rankings reflect play over the whole season, not just the previous Sunday.
      • Positional value matters, but overall performance and impact on the team matter more.
      • I'm asking: Would this player be a starter on most teams? (I think that hurts QBs some).
      • Total snap count matters. Great plays matter, but staying on the field is important.
      With the rules in place, here we go. This week, I decided to go 35 deep:

        Bernard and Hopkins are going to be really good players. I don't think they've been as valuable to their teams as Fluker's been to ours, thus far. Can't quibble too much on some of the other guys because I haven't seen them play enough or wouldn't argue with his ranking.

                What a bad draft. The top ten are way down or missing.
                Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
                The Wasted Decade is done.
                Build Back Better.

                  Why does that matter? He would still be playing. QBs getting hurt in the NFL is just like death and taxes.

                  He's a bit of a knuckle head, but he's been improving and has won games for the Jets.
