We agree with most of the choices on the list. We want to include Ray Rice, but we can’t put him in over McFadden or Slaton. The only change we’d make would be to replace Bowman with Vanderbilt junior receiver Earl Bennett, who caught 75 passes his first two seasons and should exceed that total once again. Other than that, we love this list. What do you think? Who did we overlook? Who are we overrating? Let’s hear your thoughts.
