Nnamdi Asomugha - CB - Oakland Raiders

Yes, Nnamdi is the first CB so far. Yes, Charles Woodson and Darrelle Revis are in here somewhere. Why, you might ask, is Asomugha below them? Well, I would reply, Nnamdi plays in a scheme in which he plays on the same side all the time, covering a specific zone on a given play (In most cases) and can oftentimes be seen on the opposite side of the field as the opposing team's #1 Wide Receiver. This allows the other team to throw away from him to their best guy and to other parts of the field. Odd choice for the Raiders, I agree, but it is how it is. In contrast, Woodson and Revis are usually on an island matched with the other team's premier threat, and for that, I've got to give them credit. Add that to the fact that Asomugha's play dropped off a good amount from his unreal 2008 campaign, (I had him #1 then despite the scheme and whatnot) which would be expected of anyone. I have him at 2a. right now among CB's, amazing athlete, highly feared by any Quarterback.

It'll be a couple days, but yeah, he's #1, and I already have a big long thing written out about how amazing he is and how much I love him. You should enjoy it.

Joe Thomas - LT - Cleveland Browns

Browns fans have to thank God for Thomas... he along with Jerome Harrison provide any kind of promise or future for the piss poor Cleveland offense. The good news is having a young LT you can count on is one of the vital initial steps to bringing a shitty franchise out of limbo, and Thomas has already established himself as one of the NFL’s marquis Left Tackles. His blocking has been sound on both fronts since he entered the league, but this past season he took it to another level and had the best season of any LT in the league (Unless you’re counting Sebastian Vollmer who had limited time). With another year of 2009 caliber he’ll have to be considered the best in the business, but at this point I still put Clady over him since I believe he’s more versatile in the sense that he could be a monster in multiple offenses and schemes.

Sharod "Roddy" White better be here!

[DomePatrol]

Aw man you cut out Evans? He is arguably the top guard in the NFL. Of course no one knows who he is though he plays guard.

EDIT: but i did thank you for at least mentioning him most people would have blown right by him.

Chris Johnson had one year...where he was relevant. Peterson's rookie year blows Johnson's away.

LOL @ the bitter Vikings fan that can't admit Johnson's better than Peterson.

2000 yard season > you

Yes, yes, by all means. Why wouldn't a fringe top 10 WR be a top 25 player in the NFL?

[Champ]

This list is rigid if Eli Manning, Chris Snee or Justin Tuck arent on the list.

[Senser81]

LOL at this list already. Do you really think the Chargers would trade Phillip Rivers to the Raiders in order to acquire the "much better" Asomugha??
