NFL Computer Power Rankings – Week 2

We have played games for real now and it’s time to start shaking it up. The Saints showed they were right where they belonged on top. There won't be many games when that offense is limited to 14 points. So to play defense the way they did serves notice to the entire league. The champs won't go down without a strong fight.

In a weekend full of upsets 6 of the preseason top ten teams lost. That makes for a pretty big shakeup behind the Saints. It will be a long climb back up the computer rankings for some of those teams while for others it will just be a blip on another successful season. This Sunday we will continue to find out who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders…

Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints pick CB Patrick Robinson #32 to end the first round

His combination of size, strength and athleticism is best suited as a rolled up corner in two deep schemes. He is a solid perimeter run defender but not always physical versus larger ball carriers.

Should contribute right away on special teams and could grow into a very good NFL player and can possibly do some blitzing in year 1.

NE Patriots select CB Devin McCourty #27

 

Serious reach as a first rounder. Outstanding special teams player but not an elite CB. His twin brother was a 6th round pick last year.

While he will be able to make a difference on special teams immediately, it is doubtful he can come in from day 1 and be a starter at corner. Very raw talent, who gets beat over the top too often, and overall just gives up too many completions.

Cardinals select DT Dan Williams #26

 

He's big enough and strong enough to be used at either defensive tackle or on the nose ...
