Pat's First 2011 Top 50

Stay connected for news and updates

Similarly, here's my very early look at the Top 50 players for the 2011 draft.

This was a fun, yet hair-pulling sort of list to compile. It could have been even funner had a few big names not completely fell off the map this past season. 

As with any early rankings, it really got tough when I got into the 40-50 range because there were a lot of guys I could put in that slot. So, if you don't see someone listed, chances are he was considered there. But, I'm content with my current top 50 as it is for now.

Follow the jump for some names to jot down as we countdown to the 2011 draft, which is in approximately 340 days!
