Early-to-mid May is the worst time of year for NFL fans. The excitement (or in some cases, agony) that stemmed from the flurry of offseason personnel moves has subsided and it's still about four months until any meaningful games are played. Since 2012, I've taken advantage of this dead period in the professional football calendar to release my Position Ranking Series. This series offers me a chance to evaluate the top talent around the league while also (hopefully) providing fans with some cheap entertainment as they wait patiently for the upcoming season. Check back frequently in the coming weeks as I unveil my picks for the best players at each position on offense, defense and special teams, starting today with quarterback.
Notes and rules for the 2018 NFL Position Ranking Series:
1.Rookies are excluded from these rankings
2.Each player is judged on where they currently stand in my opinion, not the player they once were, are going to be, etc.
3.Each player is listed as a member of the team they will play for during the 2018 season.
4.Special note for the QB rankings: Since there's no timetable for his return and plenty of question marks surrounding how he'll look if he does in fact line up under center at some point during the upcoming season, I've decide to exclude Andrew Luck from this year's rankings.
