No. I'm saying if Manning is making a difference it wouldn't show up in these rankings yet, b/c the changes he's making are supposed to be reflected in player development and scouting - getting a high ranking quickly usually requires high draft picks and bonus pools and not screwing that up. Manning has only had 3 seasons, and he's spent the first couple revamping organization personnel and philosophy. Abel, Painter, Crawford & Miller are all ranked prospects, so is Caba, at least we're no longer whiffing badly with top assets (we hope). But later 1st rd picks and hitting on a second tier big money LA player a year isn't enough to build a top farm system.
Where it will show up is the extension of DR and Clearwater success to Jersey Shore, and the emergence of relatively unheralded prospects as they outperform expectations. That is, if a number of guys with too many question marks to be ranked as 35+ prospects (as well as those 35-40 prospects outperforming expectations) answer those questions affirmatively, it will show up on the field at lower levels and be reflected in rankings the next 2-3 seasons. The biggest boost will be to find and develop LA players on a regular basis - outside the first couple rounds the ML draft is skewed to lower upside college players b/c most of the talented HS players are either top of the draft or go to college. B/c college players are 21-23 years old, they're less likely to make big jumps.
