Hahaha. I like what they said for Ted Ginn Jr. Miami has been criticized for passing up a franchise QB, but hey! The guy they drafted can break a long one at any given moment!

Id have Drew and Parrish higher. Also, I dont think far and away Hester is the best returner, I actually prefer Cribbs but its all preference.

I like the top 4 but Jones-Drew and Parrish definitely need to be higher.

A preference of people who know what they are talking about and people that don't. When Cribbs breaks all-time NFL records and forces teams to kick the ball out of bounds rather than face him it's a debate. Until then it's not even close. It's such a stupid argument I can't believe some people are still trying to make it.

Jones-Drew isn't just a specialist like those guys though. The meaning of the term specialist means they do that one thing and that is their main role. Jones-Drew is a running back first, return man second.

Agree 100% Hester is money and has the numbers to support that statement.

The first four are fine.
After that, though, I'd go Parrish, Drew, Cartwright.
Then Burleson, then Ginn.

That's a pretty good list. I agree with the top 3 . . . after that there are a lot of very good return guys that are difficult to rank.

3 through 31 vary, show some respect Reno Mahe has solidly locked up #32.
