2004 Draft Class - Player Rankings
By Tim Miller
Special to sfl-football.com

Timmy the Greek here.

Now everyone has a system players, attributes that they like or don't like, whether it be height or weight.

However, there is one additional thing, the Madden calculated OVR.

So based completely on the OVR, here are the player rankings (without knowing the personal workouts of each player).

Top Overall Player:
RG Brian Rimpf - Rimpf comes in with a score of 87 out of 100 which would mainly be based on his high strength, high awareness, high PBK and RBK. Now I doubt I will ever see an offensive guard drafted #1 overall, but...


The Next Four
All grading out at an 86 out of 100, some expected players, but boom, there is another guard in there as well!
ROLB Teddy Lehman
QB Ben Roethlisberger
LOLB Karlos Dansby
RG Shawn Andrew


The Rest of the 80s
Anytime I think of the 80s I think of high school, prom, great music, and the last time I actually played football (go Bulldogs!)
Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, this draft class.

The following players all have initial OVRs in the 80s (and who does not want to draft a FB in the first round?)
RE Antonio Smith 85 out of 100
MLB Jonathan Vilma 85 out of 100
HB Steven Jackson 83 out of 100
TE Ben Troupe 82 out of 100
TE Matt Kranchick 82 out of 100
SS Michael Boulware 81 out of 100
C Nick Hardwick 81 out of 100
RT Robert Gallery 81 out of 100
CB DeAngelo Hall 81 out of 100
TE Benjamin Watson 80 out of 100
SS Madieu Williams 80 out of 100
QB Philip Rivers 80 out of 100
FB Casey Cramer 80 out of 100
RG Larry Turner 80 out of 100
WR Roy Williams 80 out of 100
HB Mewelde Moore 80 out of 100
RE Jason Babin 80 out of 100

Other Ratings of interest
QB Eli Manning - 79 out of 100
OT Tyson Clabo - 73 out of 100
CB Joey Thomas - 76
WR Drew Carter - 65

Again these rankings may look good for the roster page, but may not feed into your system or the types of players you like.
