The Packers don't have an offensive player in the top 50. We don't even make it into the "Just Missed" category. Isn't this strange to see? If Favre comes back, where would you put him/draft him? In fact, there are few NFC North players in this list...

1 Larry Johnson RB KC Will be miss Tony Richardson's blocking?

3 Shaun Alexander RB SEA Hard to envision him matching his TD total from 2005
4 Clinton Portis RB WAS Skins' FA additions weren't major, but will help
5 Tiki Barber RB NYG Hasn't had fewer than 1,200 yds since the '01-'02 season

7 Rudi Johnson RB CIN Had minor off-season surgery, but is ready to return
8 LaMont Jordan RB OAK Another RB who will get more carries breaking in a new QB
9 Cadillac Williams RB TB If Toniu Fonoti returns to form, he upgrades the rush attack
10 Steve Smith WR CAR Can't go wrong with picking him as your No. 1 WR
11 Peyton Manning QB IND Colts may try to move up to draft a franchise RB
12 Julius Jones RB DAL One of a few guys who will benefit from T.O.'s presence
13 Marvin Harrison WR IND As of now, Harrison is Indy's top scoring threat on offense
14 Torry Holt WR STL Scott Linehan probably isn't as pass happy as Martz was
15 Willis McGahee RB BUF Bills need help on both the OL and DL
16 Anquan Boldin WR ARI WRs on teams with poor defenses tend to prosper
17 Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI But can Kurt Warner stay healthy for a whole season?
18 Thomas Jones RB CHI Still the first choice to start even though L. Smith undecided
19 Terrell Owens WR DAL A super talented WR or ticking time bomb? Possibly both
20 Chad Johnson WR CIN C. Henry stats uncertain, and C. Palmer may return soon
21 Warrick Dunn RB ATL ATL rumored to be considering drafting a RB in first round

26 Santana Moss WR WAS Moss will still be Washington's main playmaker in the air
27 Marc Bulger QB STL Problems on Rams defense will help Bulger's stats

51 Roy Williams WR DET What WR wouldn't love Mad Mike's offensive schemes?
52 Byron Leftwich QB JAC Jack Del Rio wants to protect the QB more. Sounds good
53 Darrell Jackson WR SEA Recently had surgery, and N. Burleson may steal catches

55 Keyshawn Johnson WR CAR Should give it his all as his career comes to an end

This isn't too surprising. The top offensive guys are either coming back from injury (Walker, Green - and even marginal and/or unknown talents Davenport Gado and Murphy are returning from injury) or top guys are contemplating retirement (Favre) or quitting (Walker). Where is the certain talent on the Green ay offense?? Only Donald Driver is a talent and I might put him just above Donte. That's about it. Given the list, I think I'd put Walker at around 20, and Green and Favre at around 25, assuming they all come back at full strength.

Well, I'd still rank Donald Driver over Donte' Stallworth at this point in fantasy ball.

Yeah, ranking that stuff is a big crap shoot, like Owens in the top 25, if you had him last year, you were screwed, and if you picked up Gado in the last half, you made a great steal....

You're right. None of this makes any sense until after minicamps. Heck, Edge could be a piece of crap in the AZ offense with that offensive line. Its just still shocking to me that no Packer players ranks in the top 50 in the league. Would Favre even rank in the top 50? Maybe not....

I was one of those that secured a playoff spot by starting Gado for a few weeks. :D
