Thought this was interesting. Pretty close except I totally disagree at RB. Our group when healthy is the best in the division (you can't just look at the top back which is where they went wrong). I'd put us as the top WR group as well (we take a hit there because of our QBing). I think our safety group is overrated. Thoughts?
Just saw this.
I still have to give Dallas the nod at RB.... because Pollard may be the best RB in the division... they're just paying Zeke stupid money so they need to justify it. I would take our 'room' over the Giants, but to be fair we dont see the home run explosiveness with our room at we do with Barkely. Gibson has the physical ability to do it... but you still wonder about some of his vision / instinct to get him there.
As far as WRs go, it comes down to the depth. You'd likely take our 3rd string WR over any other teams 3rd string WR.... that should carry weight in a discussion like this.
Regarding Safeties? Curl and Forrest have the ability to be the best duo in the NFL.. not just our division. They've shown it, and have done it over a complete season. I don't think it can be overstated just how impactful Curl was when he got back on the field, and our backup safety is an All Pro special teamer.... and none of that is as impressive as where these guys came from. Those three guys were 5th round, 7th round, and UDFA. Add to that a 4th rounder in Percy Butler that MANY believe is the best 'true' FS on the team...
Hard to really argue the rest of the rankings, though i think top to bottom TE and CB could use a re-evaluation. Dallas lives on Diggs, and he lives on turnovers. The guy has notoriously been roasted when facing better competition, we've seen it ourselves. TEs is an interesting conversation because we don't have the explosive TE that's going to take over a game, but we dont need it. Ideally, with this roster, the TE is a check down / safety valve... very few actual playcalls to get them set up as the primary read. We don't have a Kelcey / Kittle type, but we dont need it. In fact, i'd almost argue you go into next season with Bates as your no. 1 TE and continue to develop Rogers as your receiving threat... the TE conversation could change quickly...
