Now that the Super Bowl is upon us and the season is almost over, how would you rank the top 5 at each of the following positions?

QB
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Matt Ryan
Derek Carr

RB
Leveon Bell
David Johnson
Zeke Elliot
Lesean McCoy
Todd Gurley

WR
Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
Nuke Hopkins
Mike Evans
O'dell Beckham Jr

TE
Rob Gronk
Travis Kelce
Greg Olsen
Delaine Walker
Jordan Reed

OL
Marshall Yanda
Trent Williams
Travis Frederick
Alex Mack
Matt Paradis

Pass Rushers
Von Miller
Khalil Mack
Justin Houston
Vic Beasley
Aaron Donald

LB
Luke Keuchly
Bobby Wagner
Sean Lee
Brandon Marshall
KJ Wright

CB
Aqib Talib
Chris Harris Jr
Marcus Peters
Malcolm Butler
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

S
Eric Berry
Landon Collins
Eric Weddle
Kam Chancellor
Devin McCourtey

The 5 are not in order, in any group. Who would you switch around? Add? Take off? I took into account the system each player played for and the circumstances that surrounded most players. Offensive line is a wash because there are so many good players, and I could only pick 5.

Gurley should be removed. I don't know who to replace him with, but he had a scary bad year.

I'd replace him with the Jay Ajai

Is this for this years performance only? If not, JJ Watt belongs on there.

Like I said, I took other stuff into consideration, not just his play which resulted from the circumstances he was put in. I still view him as a top 5 running back in the NFL. He didn't have a good year but I don't think that was his fault.

Good catch. I should've added him.

Not to my knowledge. Either way, I'd be shocked if it was performance based. He had an incredible season and ranked as one of the highest cornerbacks on PFF.

Gurley and Hopkins are the two biggest names that don't belong

3 Centers & a Guard on the OL? The interior of the OLine is often under appreciated, but you need more Tackles.

Todd Gurley


As a Todd Gurley fantasy owner and someone who painfully watched a lot of their games this year hoping Gurley would do something, frick this. frick Gurley. That team was bad, but he was down right terrible. No vision, absolutely no explosiveness, and completely useless as a receiver. frick Todd Gurley.

Take Mike Evans out. Give credit where Credit is due. Jordy Nelson is better than Evans. I'm black btw lol , just being honest.


Either Jordy or AJ Green.
