Dalton +5.2 (his highest grade ever)
MJones +5.7
Collins +2.0 in relief of the injured Whit

AJones +3.8
MJohnson +3.1
Burfict +3.1
Iloka +2.5
Crocker +2.1

Notable that eleven defensive players graded out at +1.1 or better.

Nice.

NY has had a good defense this year too. So that is encouraging as well.

I love Burfict, he is my favorite defensive player. He just plays with that same intensity and leadership that Ray Lewis used to play with. He is only a second year player and really coming into his own. he will be very expensive to retain. Not even sure how we afford half these players. I hope the Bengals can keep finding these draft gems so we do not have to blow payroll on a few players because they are superstars and not afford any of our above average stars.
