We spend a lot of time beating on our least favorite players. How about we rank the roster from best to worst? Feel free to rank as many as you want. Optionally include where you think they sit in the league at their respective positions if you feel they may be near the top of the league.
The idea behind this is to see who is valuable because with year to year roster turnover being as high as it is you need to figure out who to keep. A solid team usually just have a few top flight players at some key positions and a whole lot of depth in the middle.
Here's my top 10:
1. Barmore (top 5-10 DL) - Has turned into an absolute monster. Has one of the highest pass rush win rates and rising double team rate for Interior DL)
2. Judon (top 5 DE/OLB)
3. Godchaux - He and Barmore make the rest of the defense's job easier. Gotta be of the best NTs around.
4. Jonathan Jones - top 3 Slot Corner, still really good on the outside
5. Peppers - moves around but I'd say top 6 FS
6. Gonzalez - looked like a top 10-15 CB already
7. Bentley - top 10-12 ILB, maybe higher
8. Onwenu - playing out of position and injured, but a very good RG
9. Dugger - Mistake prone at times but a playmaker (top 10 at SS, lower at FS)
10. Stevenson - top 15 RB. Somewhat of a down year but his hands have come a long way.
This was actually hard to do. Placing Dugger was hard. Sometimes I think he's one of our best players and other times I don't. Couldn't figure out how to order Barmore, Judon, and Godchaux. No surprise this is so defensively heavy but it's shocking how hard it was to think about adding anyone from the offense. Maybe David Andrews?
