This year's Peak Off-season will be like no other Peak Off-season before.

In order to make it modern, we used a 10-year data set. Dipping further back would mean going across different coaching eras at the college level, as well as including a lot of players who are no longer active in the NFL. (We did run an unofficial 20-year data set for the quarterback position, which you can read about at the bottom of this article.)
We came up with a scoring system that balanced not just the quantity of players programs put into the NFL, but the quality of those players' careers. One measure we used is draft position—an inexact but still relevant measure of a player's approximate value when he left college. We credited players for career games started. But rather than assigning a point value to every game started, which would weigh too heavily in favor of older players, we lessened that effect by using ranges.
We also awarded points for the highest achievements (MVP, and for non-quarterbacks, Offensive/Defensive Player of the Year and All-Pro) and awarded a smaller amount of credit for Rookie of the Year, an indication of a player's preparedness when entering the league. (We made the decision to exclude the Pro Bowl. Between fan voting and the league's need to dig deep into the pool of alternates with so many players dropping out annually, there's been a reduction in the legitimacy of that achievement.)
For all positions in this series, scoring is based on alumni who entered the NFL between 2010 and 2019 and were either (1) drafted or (2) undrafted but appeared in at least one game. Players who transferred during their college careers are counted only as part of the last program they played for. Players are only credited for the position at which they were drafted. Our full scoring system:
DRAFT POSITION
Top 10: 4 points
Round 1 (non-top 10): 3 points
Rounds 2-3: 2 points
Rounds 4-7: 1 point
Undrafted: 0 points
NFL GAMES STARTED
80-plus: 5 points
48 to 79: 4 points
16 to 47: 3 points
5 to 15: 2 points
1 to 4: 1 point
NFL AWARDS
Offensive Player of the Year: 4 points
First-Team All-Pro: 3 points
Offensive Rookie of the Year: 2 points

LOL.
Jamal Adams and Tyrann Mathieu are better than any and every A1abana safety.

They’re not better than Eddie Jackson and Minkah Fitzpatrick

Crazy considering we basically went a decade with no great LBs after Bradie James. Just dominant DL and DBs. We have had some really good ones of late though.

This board has had multiple "Best BBQ" threads in the last two weeks. It's April.

Minkah has potential to become the biggest defensive star in the league.

Roman Harper,
not in the NFL and hasn't made a pro bowl since 2010. Hasn't even been a starter since 2013

Mark Barron
doesn't play safety and was horrible when he did
quote:
Rashad Johnson
retired 2 years ago and was pretty unspectacular. no pro bowls, just managed to stay on a roster for 8 years which is respectable

Mark Barron played SS no?

past tense, yes he did, and as I said, he was awful. He saved his career by moving to LB. He'd have been out of the league years ago if he hadn't

You're assuming only comparisons to current players. I listed past players because he actually said "any and every A1abana safety".

what does that have to do with the NFL?

buddy, I already said he played safety and switched positions. What exactly is hard for you to comprehend about that? Are you trying to argue he's still a safety when he, in fact, plays linebacker?

Oh yeah, I remember Rueben Randle burning his arse for a 75 yard TD in 2010, which was the first time that Jordan Jefferson beat Alabama.
Barron fricking quit

What? He's retired and not currently playing.
The fact that you don't know that tells me all I need to know about your opinion on who's good in the NFL.

LSU won that game and is 2-9 against Alabama since.
