Let the pain begin: Walter Football's Pre-Draft Power Rankings in 2008
http://www.walterfootball.com/analysis.php
1. San Diego Chargers (11-5) - The Chargers have one glaring weakness they need to fix, which happens to be the right tackle position. If they take care of that via the draft, it wouldn't surprise me at all to seem in the Super Bowl. Remember, they kept the Patriots to a single-digit deficit for the majority of the AFC Championship with Philip Rivers limping around on one leg, and without the services of LaDainian Tomlinson. Norv Turner and A.J. Smith have to be thrilled at the emergence of Vincent Jackson and Antonio Cromartie late in the season. I expect big things from the Chargers in 2008, and I'm not afraid to put them atop this chart. Norv Turner? Winning a Super Bowl? Remember, we would have said the same thing about Eli Manning this time last year. 24. Oakland Raiders (4-12) - Oakland made a few upgrades in its secondary (DeAngelo Hall and Gibril Wilson) and JaMarcus Russell can't be any worse than Andrew Walter and Josh McCown, but one can only wonder what went on in Oakland's front office when Al Davis decided to sign every single free agent coming off an ACL tear. Perhaps the conversation went something like this: Al Davis: Yawn... it's morning already? How long was I out for? Assistant: Two years, sir. Do you want to look at the free agent list? Al Davis: Sure! Whoa! Javon Walker's available!? Let's sign him! Assistant: Umm... sir, I don't think that's a good idea... See, he's coming off an... Al Davis: I'm calling up his agent right now! Let's make him such a huge deal that he won't even leave this city without signing! How's a $55 million contract sound? Assistant: Not too good sir... Al Davis: You're right! Let's make it $66 million! Assistant: No sir! Don't do it!!! Noooo!!!! 27. Denver Broncos (7-9) - Some might be shocked to see the Broncos ranked so low. Well, they haven't done anything to improve on their 7-9 record. In fact, they've gotten a lot worse. How? Where do I begin? Brandon Marshall's hurt. Javon Walker's gone. Matt Lepsis has retired. The offensive tackles are inexperienced. The center was horrendous with the Chiefs last year. There is still no pass rush. There is still no one who can stop the run. Boss Bailey sucks. Keary Colbert sucks even more. Jamie Winborn sucks more than both combined. D.J. Williams is still playing out of position. John Lynch is still starting at 36. Jason Elam is a Falcon. Chris Myers is a Texan. And Mike Shanahan's face will get more ruddy by the minute. Phew... is that enough? 32. Kansas City Chiefs (4-12) - I can't say I like anything the Chiefs have done this offseason. Or to be more precise, I can't say I like what the Chiefs haven't done. Someone needs to send general manager Carl Peterson a memo that his offensive line stinks because he didn't do a single thing to upgrade it. The only thing he managed to do was overpay for defensive liability Demorrio Williams. Devard Darling, meanwhile, is far from the answer at wide out. Kansas City needs help everywhere, including quarterback. Brodie Croyle is winless as a starter and has yet to show much promise. And who knows if Larry Johnson can ever make it back to full strength after Herm Edwards ruined his career with all of those carries in 2006? |

KC very may well be the worst team around, but these uneducated sites always list the wrong reasons. Signing cheap, asecending players and passing on overpaid, overrated, 30+ guys isn't the problem.

I don't generally pay any attention to power rankings, cause they have no real value, but I like this one.
The Raiders analysis was brilliant.

I am counting the days until Herm and carl are gone-we will never be a good team while these two dumb****s are running things.
Even if carl Could put a descent team together-Hermy could not manage it. We are DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!! |

I would like to see the Cheaps win at least 1 Fuggin game next year-stop the Losing allready Herm.
If we go 2-14- that would be better than what I expect. This team has ZERO heart to it. Probably the worst team talent wise we have ever had. |

King Carls Checklist to build a SB team:
1. Hire a dumb**** coach that can't manage a game and feels if you score 10 points in a game-you are running up the score. 2. Only bring in bench warmer nobodies or over the hill has beens-during Free Agency. Except for rule 7. 3. Ryan Simms Rule- Forget checking out a kid before drafting him-if he has good table manners during dinner and kisses ass-he is in. Who cares if EVERY draft expert has the kid going much later-Draft him Fast!!! 4. Raise tickets while pissing off fans so we lose Home field advantage. 5. Change coaching staff yearly. 6. Bring in lots of undrafted kids off the street-this will provide "Competition" to the lazy fat asses allready on the roster. 7. Sign hurt players-(Bell, law) to HUGE $$$$$ contracts that will kill your cap space long after they have been cut. 8. Act like a total dick to all agents so Noone even wants to come here. 9. Only build up one side of the team at a time, that way we can have a #1 Offense and the worst D ever at the same time. Stay average my friends! 10. Sign a Cancer running back to a Stoopid deal while you alienate your Best Defensive player by calling him a "Young man at Risk". 11. Repeat process endlessly until Every Chiefs fans hates this team. |

Wow, it appears they can evaluate a draft before it even takes place.
Brilliant! |

I think we have a better record next year than we did this year.
