Ranking Roster by importance

[vince]

McGinn's write-ups were for the most part pretty spot on I thought, though a few of the rankings are head-scratching. Matt Flynn, Mason Crosby and Marshall Newhouse aren't even in the right zip code IMO. All should be way lower on this list. I think John Kuhn was too high too.

I also would take 46-49 and move them down below 50-53, but that's splitting hairs at that point.

I liked McGinn's better too, but I pretty much agree with your complaints.

No one mentions Masthay being ranked too far down on both lists? Having a reliable punter is a definite asset. The Packers haven't enjoyed a punter this good since Craig Hentrich.

Masthay didn't do a thing against Atlanta in the playoffs last year.

If Cobb is the PR, KR and emergency QB, that makes him pretty important, especially if he is good at it, as he appears to be. move him up 5 or 10 slots from 28 and 32.

I think he has Clifton too high, the old man probably ain't gonna make it through the season, and I expect Sherrod or Newhouse will do credible job and move up the list.

I move BJ Raji up to #3 position just because of quality of backups and various positions. Maybe Mike Neal up a few slots too.

no. Clifton is the blind side protection for your most important player. whoever is there immediately moves up to that spot.

Finley is a beast but obviously he's not as important as Vandermause has him rated.

I think McGinn's list is more accurate. O-line is perhaps the most important group as a whole on any team. If they suck or have a major weak spot, your team will struggle. I like he has them rated highly individually.

I don't feel Flynn is too high on his list. look at Indy's situation. You can win w/ a competent back up...you can win a SB w/ one on a good team. Flynn is a very important player on this team, esp in a lg that QB's tend to miss games.
