Good list, but I'd probably change the categories you use to rank the defensive players next time. Perhaps something like:
DE
DT
3-4 OLB
4-3 OLB
ILB
CB
FS
SS
This way it would remove the confusion of where you put each linebacker. Playing ILB in a 3-4 is similar to playing MLB in a 4-3, the MLB in a 4-3 just has more responsibility than a 3-4 ILB, as there are two ILBs in a 3-4 and just 1 MLB in a 4-3.
Like for example K.J. Wright plays strong side linebacker for the Seahawks, which is essentially an OLB, but not in the same sense as Aldon Smith, as their responsibilities are massively different. If you wanted to get super specific you could even separate the DE category into 4-3 and 3-4 as they have different responsibilities as well.
Aside from that and a few guys I'd swap here and there, good list. You're always going to get criticism whenever you post a "top players at X" list due to the fact that they are so easy to nitpick and two given people are incredibly unlikely to have the same opinion.
