Swap us for Auburn for punters. Donnie Jones and Brad Wing

I would maybe put LSU near the top 3 for defensive linemen also:

Michael Brockers
Kyle Williams
Glenn Dorsey
Barkevious Mingo
Ricky Jean-Francois
Bennie Logan
Tyson Jackson


Glad you brought up the RB ranking. I'd say that it's more of a 1A and 1B situation with LSU and Alabama... Richardson and Ingram haven't done anything and Hill and Blue are coming off their rookie seasons.

Out of curiosity, if you didn't consider Richardson, why would you go with Ingram over Ridley and Blue?

cam's individual quarterback rating is better than eli's, or at least it was last i checked. eli's individual numbers arent as good as a lot of people would think

I looked at LSU for D line, and if was really close between them and UGA. My bias may have kicked in there, but I thought Clemons and Atkins put us over the edge. I also looked at LSU for kicker/punter, but Jones and Wing were both in the bottom of the league for avg this year and I'd rather have a top 10 kicker (Parkey), then two below average punters. The same thing applied with the Colquitts and UT.

I'm more curious as to why Texas A&M made your DL list above both Georgia and LSU.

I mean, I considered Richardson, he just played a very minimal part. I like LSU the most for the future, but I was trying to make it current or based most on last year. Blue averaged fewer yards last year than Richardson did and Ingram had one of his better years as a pro. I like Ridley a lot, but probably wasn't able to value him properly based on his injury. I still think they'd be just behind Bama though.

Eli was better last year

Higher passer rating
Higher completion %
Higer YPA
Lower interception %

Makes perfect sense then.

Georgia and LSU obviously have more depth, but I would take Michael Bennett over the top 4 guys from either school based on last year. Geno Atkins had a down season, or I probably would have put us two. Bennett, along with a solid year from Damontre Moore gave them the two spot IMO.

eli has only completed 59 percent of his passes for his career. about the same as cam

he has averaged more interceptions per year than cam

his individual numbers during the giants first super bowl year were the same or worse than cam's numbers last year

Eli had a career season last year. Hurts him when his team can't play defense or block for him.

Could be worse.
He could have the Browns' defense and/or OL.

Colquitt brothers should have TN at number 1 for specialists

I pretty much agreed with you except for punter and running back, but RB is tough one to call.

We have Murray too, but I really would take Tannehill. It's close, but I think Stafford benefits from playing in a dome with Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate. Plus Tannehill provides a running threat that Matthew doesn't.

I won't be hard on Eli since he is on the Giants

That said, give Cam the same courtesy. Have you seen the Panther's offensive line? (This is aimed at the thread, not you in particular Swayze) It's a miracle he accomplished as much as he did this past season.
