Aubrayo Franklin made it.

Tight End: Rob Gronkowski, NE (+17.4)
Vernon Davis may feel aggrieved, but with only spot we couldn’t ignore the 580 yards, seven touchdowns and excellent run blocking of ‘The Gronk’. In all honesty both men are miles in front of the rest of the competition and deserve credit for their all round play.
Honorable Mentions: Vernon Davis (SF) and Heath Miller (PIT)
-------------------
Tackles: Duane Brown, HST (+18.3) and Sebastian Vollmer, NE (+15.8)
Time goes on and Brown still hasn’t given up a sack since the 2010 season. But he’s more than just an excellent pass protector, he’s also a fine run blocker who has the agility to make things happen in the Texans zone blocking scheme. Joining him is Vollmer as the designated right tackle. He hasn’t impressed like some left tackles, but he’s performed admirably for New England in giving up just one sack, one hit and 12 hurries in eight games.
Honorable Mentions: Joe Staley (SF), Ryan Clady (DEN) and Branden Albert (KC)
--------------------
Guards: Evan Mathis, PHI (+17.4) and Marshal Yanda, BLT (+16.0)
In a different world Mathis would have accepted the contract offer from the Ravens and Baltimore would own the most dominant set of guards in the league. As it is they don’t (that honor belongs to San Francisco), but having Yanda on any team is grounds for celebration.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Iupati (SF) and Alex Boone (SF )
---------------------
Center: Mike Pouncey, MIA (+17.4)
While he’s given up just one hit and hurry, Pouncey gets the nod over some serious competition because of his excellent work in the run game. The sophomore has been every bit the stud he was drafted to be.
Honorable Mentions: John Sullivan (MIN) and Jonathan Goodwin (SF)
----------------------
Defensive Front 3-4
Defensive Line: J.J. Watt, HST (+44.5), Aubrayo Franklin, SD (+4.0) and Calais Campbell, ARZ (+18.0)
In the most obvious selection of the whole thing, J.J. Watt is the starting left end. He’s defining the position with a level of dominance not even Justin Smith managed over the past few years. 10 batted passes, 28 QB disruptions and 31 total defensive stops. It makes the numbers Campbell is putting up look insignificant, though they are anything but with the Cardinals’ right end having another stellar season. Franklin isn’t playing as he did in San Francisco, but his work down the road in San Diego should be garnering more attention. He’s playing well at a position that isn’t stocked as it once was.
Honorable Mentions: Muhammad Wilkerson (NYJ), Haloti Ngata (BLT) and Justin Smith (SF)
-----------------------
Outside Linebackers: Clay Matthews, GB (+13.9) and Justin Houston, KC (+14.4)
To some it will be crazy that DeMarcus Ware isn’t here. But he’s not having the impact in the passing game as he’s had previously and those seven penalties have you shaking your head. Instead the duo of Matthews and Houston get the nod. Matthews already has 36 sacks, hits and hurries combined on the year, while Houston is turning himself into one of the most complete linebackers in the game. If only KC would get him rushing the passer more.
Honorable Mentions: Ahmad Brooks (SF) and DeMarcus Ware (DAL)
------------------------
Inside Linebackers: Patrick Willis, SF (+13.7) and NaVorro Bowman, SF (+12.5)
The hardest decision out there. It was near impossible to leave Daryl Washington and his eight sacks off the team, but he can at times be a little erratic in the run game and has a tendency to miss tackles (11) which puts him a whisker behind the 49ers duo. Both men have shown their versatility with some excellent play going backwards and coming forwards. If Sean Lee was still healthy he’d be in consideration as well.
Honorable Mentions: Daryl Washington (ARZ)
---------------------------
Safeties: Eric Weddle, SD (+13.0) and Jairus Byrd, BUF (+10.5)
Weddle was a slam dunk pick with his exceptional all round play making him stand out from the crowd. With Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu aging, is now the time to crown him the league’s best? Byrd’s work in coverage is second to none and he oozes playmaking ability. A real game changer at the safety position.
Honorable Mentions: T.J. Ward (CLV), Dashon Goldson (SF) and Reshad Jones (MIA)

Special Teams
Kicker: Greg Zuerlein (SL)
Punter: Andy Lee (SF)
Kick Returner: Percy Harvin (MIN)
