Here's Mondo's ranks of the complete Phins roster, including rookies. I'll list his top 15, and the PFF overall grade next to them.
1- Long, 24.3
2- Wake, 38.6
3- Marshall, 3.8
4- Dansby, 14.8
5- Soliai, 17.7
6- Starks, 9.6
7- Bess, 6.5
8- Bell, 9.4
9- Davis, 9.0
10- Langford, 14.3
11- Merling, -2.1
12- Smith, 9.9
13- Hartline, 1.9
14- Crowder, 12.4
15- Misi, 15.1
Others from PFF- Fasano-12.7, Fields-15.9, McD-6.5, Carpenter- 7.0, dobbins- 5.2, and Incognito- 4.1. Henne got a 24.8 but, that is misleading. The top QB was at 61, RB and WR were at 24/25.
Who did better and how would you rank the top?

There is a very good chance that Lexxy has more of a shot at being the #2 Rb then people may realize.
-his time at Fb should have familiarized him with blocking schemes
-he did farily well in 2009 filling in for Ronnie B
-Daboll likes one cut runners and that is his style. -
and Sceeto like this.
I'm assuming you didn't read the article?
Lexxy is a bit like a Rhino Conu, not a whole lot of wiggle, can be knocked over surprisingly easy, do want to be in front of one when it charges..:lol:
To me, Lexxy did well in 2009, as backup guy he put up some good numbers.
I don't know that it has to mean anything other than making a good, single decision once you hit the heels of the offensive linemen. I don't think that you can say outright he doesn't have the quickness of decision making skills for it. I don't think we're going to be doing a bunch of cut blocking on the backside where the runner is going to be hitting the very back side of the play.
I based my top ten on last year, and what I expect this year. I came up with 3 different brackets, within the 10, because I did not see a separation between those players and have ties for #1, #3, and #6.
1- Wake
1- Long
3- Dansby
3- Davis
3- Marshall
6- Langford
6- Soliai
6- Misi
6- Smith
6- Starks
My next bracket is Bess, Fasano, Bell, and Pouncey. I believe they all will be VERY solid but not stars (comparatively speaking), although Pouncey has a shot this year or next.
My surprises to exceed everyone's expectations are Hartline and Clay.
