I used to do a similar ranking system for some of my sheets, but found that it would really push a player up or down much higher than they normally would.
For instance, say you poll 10 sites' top 50. Player X shows up around #15 on most but then on one shows up as 48th for whatever reason. Now player Y is ranked in the 52s or so, but on one he shows up as 17th. The sheet takes the average ranking, or the number of times they are ranked into the sum of the ranks they show. The first guy's average takes him to 18.3 but the second guy shows a ranking of 17 because they were only ranked once in the top 50.

Overall nice job. |
Yes I agree the about the rankings. It is more or less just to get a general area for the players to fall within to make it easier to find them near the top of further down the list. Things will get shaken up after the combine as well I would think as each year someone from furhter down goes lights out and rockets up the boards.
What is the concensus among Cowboy fans about your new coach? I've always got the impression that Phillips was great coordinator material but not so good as the head man.
