Here are the cumulative results of the
voting that took place at the FF Today board August 13th -15th.
234 lists were compiled to formulate this year's Consensus
Rankings. The FF
Today Board members were asked to rank their top 15 TEs.
The rankings are calculated using traditional polling measures
so that a consensus can be reached. A big thank you to Kirk
Hollis for his help on this feature.
Analysis:
Well, Gates got every single #1 vote, so there is no room
at the top for anyone else. Beyond Antonio though, the three
top five vets (Gonzo, Shockey, & Heap) hold off the youngsters
(Davis, Winslow) for now to claim the next three spots. Significant
drop-offs in value would appear to occur after #10 ( Ben Watson)
and #14 (Dallas Clark). A good group of tight ends this year,
but beyond Gates...maybe nothing special. Watch to see if
Vernon Davis and Kellen Winslow can take another step in their
development this year and prove that they should have rated
higher than the three guys immediately ahead of them in the
rankings.
