This is a rough early ranking of the 2010 class based on QFL School rules.<\/p>\n<p>#5 Ben Tate (RB) Texans -\u00c2\u00a0Combine star.\u00c2\u00a0Picked 58th overall. \u00c2\u00a0Only thunder to Slaton&#8217;s lightning or more? Best bet out of the rest of 2010 class to be more.<\/p>\n<p>#6 Golden Tate (WR) Seahawks &#8211; How long will Hasselbeck stay alive?<\/p>\n<p>#7 Arrelious Benn (WR) Bucs &#8211; Will be given every chance to be their #1 WR.<\/p>\n<p>#8 Jonathan Dwyer (RB) Steelers &#8211; Worth stashing away given Steelers run first philosophy. Scary he went in the 6th round, 8 picks after fellow RB Deji Karim.<\/p>\n<p>#9 Joe McKnight (RB) Jets &#8211; Leon&#8217;s replacement will have value.<\/p>\n<p>#10 Montario Hardesty (RB) Browns &#8211; This is the 8th RB drafted by Cleveland in the last 11 years. James Davis and Jerome Harrison already there too.<\/p>\n<p>#11 Jermaine Gresham (TE) Bengals &#8211; Injured all last year. 21st pick overall tho. But Bengals aren&#8217;t known for using TE in passing game.<\/p>\n<p>#12 Dexter McCluster (RB) Chiefs &#8211; Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles there but Chiefs still take McCluster with 36th pick. Seems like they have McCluster in mind for something.<\/p>\n<p>#13 Jimmy Clausen (QB) Panthers &#8211; Clausen&#8217;s situation is much better than Bradford&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>#14 Sam Bradford (QB) Rams &#8211; QBs with no weapons take years to develop.<\/p>\n<p>#15 Toby Gerhart (RB) Vikings &#8211; Especially valuable to Peterson owners.<\/p>\n<p>#16 Anthony Dixon (RB) 49ers &#8211; Gore owners might as well take him just in case.<\/p>\n<p>#17 Brandon LaFell (WR) Panthers &#8211; Steve Smith heir apparent?<\/p>\n<p>#18 Taylor Price (WR) Pats &#8211; Some one for Tate lovers to watch.<\/p>\n<p># 19 Tim Tebow (QB) Broncos &#8211; Can&#8217;t believe he went in the first round and it wasn&#8217;t to Jaguars.<\/p>\n<p>#20 Demaryius Thomas (WR) Broncos &#8211; Selected 22nd so they have to use him.<\/p>\n<p>#21 Ed Dickson (TE) Ravens &#8211; Todd Heap&#8217;s replacement?<\/p>\n<p>#22 Colt McCoy (QB) Browns &#8211; Poor Colt.<\/p>\n<p>#23 Rob Gronkowski (TE) Pats &#8211; Not that Ben Watson was all that, but he was supposed to be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>#24\u00c2\u00a0Damian Williams (WR) Titans &#8211; Didn&#8217;t they just draft Kenny Britt?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can say with certainty now that the NFL Draft is over that; the 2010 fantasy football rookie class is the worst in recent memory.
