Reggie Brown gets some love

In yet another list of a long offseason full of lists... Sports Illustrated came up with their top 25 WRs in the NFL.

Reggie Brown made the list at #22

22. Reggie Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: Lost in the hype of the Eagles' playoff run was the emergence of Brown. Playing as the lead receiver in a balanced offense, Brown responded by averaging over 17 yards per catch with eight touchdowns. He is an ideal receiver in a West Coast offense. With Donovan McNabb set to return, Brown should see his numbers jump dramatically as one of McNabb's favorite targets.

I think that's around the place he's deserving of landing, but there were still some bizarre selections in this list. For one, Calvin Johnson who has never played a down in the NFL is listed at #20. That one I don't really understand. I would have thought you had to have played WR in the NFL to be listed as one of the best WRs in the NFL. I also scratched my head at the selection of Roy Williams at #3. He's a good player, but I doubt many people would take him over several of the other guys in the top 10.

Bad list
Ward at #24, Williams at #3, Clayton (!) at #21, Fitzgerald all the way down at like #15... Just dumb. Moss at #10? Harrison not top 3? Wayne not top 7?

The rankings seem an eclectic mix of past production and future potential. You have a guy like Moss who fell of the face of the Earth last year at #10 because he used to be great, and you have a guy like Harrison falling behind Williams b/c of his potential to become Harrison. And don't get me started on ranking a f*cking rookie at #20. That's almost as dumb as when people assumed that Bush would be a top 5 back in the NFL as soon as he set foot on the field. Remember when David Terrell or Mike Williams and co entered the league as top 25 receivers? At least be consistent...

I guess if there's a running theme of some sort, it's how the guy thinks they'll produce this year, but he has no real rhyme reason or logic to come to each conclusion. It's like he read a bunch of Len Pasquerelli reports and a few Insider comments and then shat out a collection of big names in no particular order.
