Just like last year at this time, we are POWER RANKING THE NFL STARTERS!
This feature is going to be rolled out on a daily basis over the next month and is going to pick a specific position and rank each team's potential starter at that position. I say POTENTIAL starter because we are still a few months away from NFL training camps everywhere starting and teams and players can still make moves. And lord knows, some teams need to make a lot of moves still.
This column itself is supposed to give you a good idea about how your team is looking at each position as we start pointing the nose of the car towards the upcoming NFL season.
Also, since it's a power rankings, it's ranking the players based on how I feel they played last season.
So, with no further distractions....
