PRESEASON '27 NFL DRAFT RANKINGS, WIDE RECIEVERS/TIGHT ENDS

 Another change this season will be no more pre-season rankings. I will compile lists over the month of SEPTEMBER as the games are played before I rank the players, this will enable me to keep my lists up to date though the season.

In OCTOBER I will begin my 2027 Draft rankings, these rankings will be updated weekly and provide more accurate insight into my feelings on players entering the draft. Also, this will provide an early look and my final rankings.  As in my Draft analysis, I use my own eyes and metrics to rate players.  I also break down some positions differently than most. I find this very important and the root cause of so many mistakes in the draft process. Even with all the advancements today many, many NFL executives and Draft analysts are still operating in caveman modes of years gone by and failing!!   New for this season I've added a Comments section just for some added context clarifying my opinion on players.
