Yeah, this list isn't the best. A lot of it is inconsistent. Here are my thoughts:
Marion Williams #6 best player? After one great season (albeit amazingly great season). At six is a bit early, I would've gone with a guy who have done it longer. He would've been better a bit lower
Steve Smith, I would've had him lower, because he just can't stay on the field. Yeah, he's great and had a triple crown season but he needs to stay away from injuries. Until then guys below him are better (Wayne, C.Johnson, A.Johnson, Edwards..)
Patrick Willis at #43. Ok if you have Williams at #6 you got to have Willis better than 43, it doesn't make sense.
Julius Peppers: Before last season started, he was considered by many to be one of the best defensive ends(if not the best). Now after one medicore season, he's not the top 50?
Bob Sanders and Ed Reed: Maybe I'm nitpicking, but if Sanders is at 7, how can Reed be all the way down at 23?
Trufant over a guy like Newman or Mathis.
Guys who could be hit or miss on other peoples list (Tatupu, Welker, Hester)
No mention of: Kerry Rhodes, Joe Thomas (would've won OROY if not for Peterson), Mention K.Williams but not J.Williams or P.Williams. Where is Torry Holt?????
