I don't remember if I did this last year (I don't think I did), but I try to do these things every now and then just to give the readers here something to look forward to in the offseason, kinda like how NFL Network does their Top 100 players list. Here I go a bit further and rank the starters for every team by position. I decided I will put up one or two position groups every month or so (or more often depending on my mood).
**NOTE** These rankings are by my discretion, based on a number of different criteria which I don't feel I am obligated to describe or justify to anyone. This is purely for fun so please keep the comments and disagreements civil in the thread or I will ask a mod to shut it down and no more updates will be made.
