Over The Cap and Pro Football Focus were used in the creation of this post.
Chargers should look at Taylor Mays next year big body fast n can tackle
nick hardwick is not playing in 2015.
You may be right, but as far as I know, he hasn’t officially announced anything yet, which is why he’s still on the list for now.
— Luke
right, nothing official, but it’s widely known here in san diego that nick is retiring. he hasn’t made it official, but he’s lost something like 60 to 70 pounds and is doing radio. his pro football days are sadly over.
Buster Skrine is very underrated.
You guys going to due a Top 50 at some point? 30? There are fans of 28 teams sitting on their hands right now. Here is my assessment, which I did put hours and ours into but to each his own.
1. Justin Houston (51 on PFF, unreal…and young)
2. DeMarco Murray (could be one of the best back ever)
3. Suh (could instantly makes his defense Top 10)
4. Demaryius Thomas (blocks as well as he catches)
5. Chris Harris (best CB in NFL)
6. Dez Bryant (game changers)
7. Terrance Knighton (absolute monster)
8. Rodney Hudson (26, 3rd best C in NFL)
9. JPP (unstoppable, young, durable)
10. Julius Thomas (cannot believe he is 10th, but stock is plummeting)
11. Bryan Bulaga (16th best tackle in NFL, still young)
12. Ray McDonald (15 on PFF, getting older though)
13. Pernell McPhee (26 on PFF, only 27, 1st STUD year though)
14. Rolando McCalin (Top 10 LB, young)
15. Brandon Graham (only 27, Top 3 3-4 OLB)
16. Brandon Spikes (still young, was having a brilliant season)
17. Reshean Mathis (CB1)
18. Brian LaPuente( Top 10 C)
19. Orlando Franklin (Top 15 G, only 28)
20. Mike Iupati (ditto)
21. Stephen Paea (Top 12 DT, only 27)
22. Jerry Hughes (Top 15 DE, still 27)
23. Ray McDonald (Top 12 DE, now 31 though)
24. Nick Fairley (ceiling is monstrous, but health now big ?)
25. Damon Harrison (solid year, young, could REALLY breakout)
26. Jason Worlids (young, Top 15 OLB)
27. Dan Williams (11 on PFF despite less than 500 snaps)
28. Tyrunn Walker (only 25, mind blowing potential)
29. Jeremy Maclin (still young, talented, but system and injury history)
30. Brian Orakpo (Top 5 ability, but torn pecs now a trend)
31. James Harrison (still a star, but now 37)
32. Aruthur Moats (young Top 20 OLB)
33. Ahmad Bradshaw (still only 29, electric if healthy, big IF though)
34. Jared Odrick (only 28, Top 20 DT)
35. Chris Culliver (young, was Top 15 CB but repeat unknown)
36. Kareem Jackson (could be Top 10 CB, or product of Watt)
37. Ryan Matthews (franchise RB, but just will not stay healthy)
38. Justin Forsett (breakout season, but product of Yanda?)
39. Mark Ingram (still young, right about to breakout and then injury hits again)
40. Tashaun Gipson (Top 10 S, only 25, brutal in 2013)
41. Will Hill (Top 15 S ability, only 25, but far from proven)
42. Dwan Landry (Top 10 S, but now 33)
43. Da’Norris Searcy (Top 10 S ability, young)
44. Charles Clay (only 26, very versatile)
45. Eddie Royal (soft hands, good routes, sold slot guy)
46. Slay (solid CB1)
47. CJ Spiller (SO MUCH TALENT, but injury history is now unreal)
48. Pat Chung (Top 10 S ability)
49. Jabal Sheard (only 26, Top 20 OLB ability)
50. Mike Adams (star veteran Top 10 S, but now 34)
Almost Top 50 (Locker, Vereen, Sterling Moore, Moreno, McFadden, Freeney, Shipley, Montgomery, Miles, Sergio Brown, Kelly, Kurt Coleman, Redding, Nate Allen, Tom Johnson, Siligia, Hayes, Jarett)
We’ll be doing a top 50 list prior to free agency opening, which is still a couple months away. In the meantime, we did a top 10 a few weeks ago (link to profootballrumors.com) and will have another edition of that soon, with a few changes (including removing Harris, who signed an extension).
— Luke
Chung signed one today also? Argh Was hoping my Skins got him…
The more I look at the list of QBs, the more I feel like Buffalo should be giving Sanchez a good look. I don’t really think he’s very good, but they have to do something, and nobody on the list really gets me excited.
