Like any powerful organization, the NFL has a strict schedule of events that take place at the same time every calendar year. Players report to training camp in July. September marks the start of the regular season. January is when the bulk of the playoffs take place. March and April are for roster building/retooling (free agency, draft). What owns the month of May? My annual position ranking series of course! This not even remotely prestigious series of lists that has been a proud tradition on this site since 2012 is designed to evaluate where every NFL position group stands at this moment in time and provide readers with football content during a not very active portion of the offseason. Here's the criteria I use when compiling these lists:
1.Rookies are excluded.
2.Each player is judged on where they currently stand in my opinion, not the player they once were or are going to be.
3.Each player is listed as a member of the team they will play for during the 2019 season.
The always hotly contested quarterback position gets things started per usual. Be sure to check back a couple times per week through early-to-mid June for new lists.
(Note: Due to his potential career-ending injury, Alex Smith has been excluded from this list)
