There is always a bias towards pass rush 3-4 OLBs instead of the tackling 4-3 WLB and SLBs. They generate sacks and change games more often therefore get rated higher.

I think the ratings should've been like this at worse
1. Khalil Mack 98 (first team all pro in two positions on the raiders D cmon now)
2.Von Miller 97 (out of respect, and playing big in superbowl, could be a lil lower but he has my respect, also he is pretty good in coverage)
3.Justin Houston 96 (a beast, at his best is better than Von, since he is great against the run)
4. Thomas Davis 93 (a anchor for one of the best defenses the past couple years.)
5.Jamie Collins 91 (great overall player)

Hightower I thought was a ILB, and McPhee I don't watch enough to rate honestly.
Mack is a great player but I have no problem with Von being ahead of him. I don't understand your thinking on being "much better at stopping the run." That has been one of his strong suits since entering the league. Not sure why you are selling this as a weak part of his game. Plus Von can adequately cover when called upon.

Im not saying he sucks against the run. Im saying Khalil is better. Khalil was one tackle ahead and 2 sacks behind JJ watt last year with 77 and 15 sacks. Von had 35 with 11 sacks. For a dude that's 5 points better overall. I don't see how that is the case. He is on a much better defense so if anything his numbers should be better.

Its telling that the players ranked Khalil above Von on the top 100 also. I like Von, but when talking overall ratings. The game is more than rushing the passer and occasionally dropping into coverage.

Yeah, that great inner linebacker Clay Matthews should totally be on this list.

The list isn't for the past year only. Its going forward. Its the best players entering the next season. Hence why the retired players are not on the list...
