YOUR Top 5 at Every Position

[Clayton]

Rob Gronkowski is easily the best TE when healthy.
Tony G is number 2 still which is ridiculously impressive.
Vernon Davis 3rd because he is an excellent blocker and has big play speed.
Jimmy Graham 4th entirely because of his impact as a pass catcher.
Dwayne Allen 5th. Not sure why everyone picked him apart in the draft last year

 

[broncosmitty]

Allen is great, I like that you put him on your list.

 

[Mebert]

No Jason Witten?

 

[tpaulus_2]

Alrighty, figured I'd let the conversation carry on since it was going well.

Now that it's died out let's do DTs. Finally get to see a legit Lion in the top 5!

 

[Mebert]

1. Geno Atkins
2. SSSUUUUHHHHH
3. Justin Smith
4. Kyle Williams
5. Vince Wilfork

I am assuming that Ngata counts as a 3-4 end, if not I put him at 1 and Wilfork falls off.

I'd call Ngata a DT since he plays all over that line. I'd call J.J. Watt a DE since he fills more of a pass-rushing role...

Then
1. Ngata
2. Atkins
3. Suh
4. Smith
5. Williams

 

[tpaulus_2]

DTs:
1.) Geno Atkins
2.) Ndamukong Suh
3.) Haloti Ngata
4.) Vince Wilfork
5.) Kyle Williams

 

[Clayton]

1. Geno Atkins
2. Haloti Ngata
3. Justin Smith
4. Vince Wilfork
5. Kyle Williams

Detroit might have the best DT tandem, though. Suh I'd have 6th and Fairley is maybe around #10. I also expect Brockers to have a breakout year for the Rams this year and McCoy in Tampa Bay is top 7 if he's healthy.

 

[broncosmitty]

I'm still thinking about Tight Ends.... But to think of a DT list without Suh on, seems like something I don't want to think about.

 

[RobBase]

The Rams are awful. Need a new QB.

 

[Clayton]

The Rams are awful. Need a new QB.

They certainly had a bad preseason game. Not sure why Bradford takes all of the blame for the Rams. I blame it on other people not actually recognizing the other players.

 

[tpaulus_2]

I think the Rams will be much better in year two of the Jeff Fisher era...

 

[gandydancer]

Guess this thread was ignored like Iffy and Principal57...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Good call Gandy- this fucker up and died. I'm betting it picks up when we get to the offensive skill positions that everyone cares about.

Let's move on to DEs now though. Should be some damn good debates on this one, since there's actually enough star DEs to fill a list of 5...

 

[tpaulus_2]

It's gonna kill me having to include Jared Allen on there, though. I hate that guy.

 

[broncosmitty]

He has to be on there though.

 

[broncosmitty]

Same goes for Peppers, too good not to be. We've seen his impact all too well.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Peppers? Naw hes going to decline considerably this season.

 

[broncosmitty]

I sure hope so!
