Clay is an OLB again, not ILB. Only reason his sack numbers have been down is due to him playing in coverage so much.

Nearly 2 years of playing inner linebacker, he's not going to be Top 5 just because he used to be good.

Justin Houston is a great player but 97 is a little high for him.

Watch any game, he played OLB on obvious passing downs. He was moved to ILB to help the run D. We were ranked 30th in run D when he got moved to ILB week 8 of the14-15 season, we finished top 10 in run D that year. I know you're a Bears fan, but please don't act like it.

You seem to think that just because a player occasionally played at their old position throughout the year and two years ago was one of the best at that position that they deserve to be a Top 5 player now at that position after not playing that position full time for the entire previous season and a half. You're the one being a homer here. These ratings are not (supposed to) represent their legacy ability but what they are now. What he did before he got moved to inside linebacker doesn't really apply anymore. He's still going to be rated favorably, but the guy absolutely does not belong in the top 5.

By the way, the Packers run defense in 2014 was 24th, not top 10.

I'm pretty sure Khalil Mack moved to defensive end last season under Del Rio.
