Well I can't argue with this if they are counting Eric Weddle as a FS still. Otherwise...

Side Note: T.J. Ward's Ground and Pound rating - 99

Ha, so the strong safety position gets its own release but due to a lack of elite players, they end up reporting in the mid 80's, but OLBs get lumped as one huge group despite being on the left and right side of the field AND different player types for 3-4 and 4-3... :P

Glad Burnett is getting some love, finally.

Kurt Coleman got moved to SS this year when the Panthers didn't resign Roman Harper. He had a pretty good year last year I wonder what he will be rated. Hopefully he just missed cracking this list.

I figured Ward would probably get the Super Bowl boost too.

Just like Marshall, a good player, but IMO not top 5 at his position.

I can't complain though. My boys are STACKED this year on D.

Surprised to see Reshad #1. He's great, and I dont doubt him being the best SS in the game, if he's not, he's damn close. So cant really disagree.

Now, the interesting thing to me, how "low" the #4, and #5 guys are in comparison.

Maybe ratings really are more spread out this year. Interesting..

Dum dum dum dum dum. Kinda makes you wonder right? LOL

Can't wait to see FS. Harrison Smith should be top 3.

# 12 Armor and Sword @ 08/01/16 12:01 PM

Reshad feeling the love. A 5th round steal from Georgia. One of the few things Jeff Ireland did right in the draft.

I absolutely agree!!! He's a beast.

God damn, I did not expect to see Burnett up there. Good to see he's finally getting some recognition.

Got a sneaky suspicion you wouldn't have made this comment if he didn't sign with Baltimore...

I might have forgotten Weddle was still in the league if he hadn't signed with Baltimore.
