DisplacedBillsFan Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Are there any players on this team that you feel are top 5 at their position in the league? So, if given the choice of choosing any player in the league at their position, are there 4 or fewer guys you would take before them? For me, I believe there are three: Incognito McCoy Watkins Incognito - nobody on the left side that I would take over him. If talking guards in general, I could see Marshal Yanda or Trai Turner as options, but there's not anyone on the left side I like better. McCoy - I'd take Elliott, Bell, David Johnson, Howard, then McCoy, putting him just inside my top 5. Watkins - This is tricky because of the injuries, but given his talent, I'd take only Julio, Nelson, A. Brown and Mike Evans before Sammy, and Evans is questionable for me.
Buffalo716 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy Dareus Incognito might be starting to decline a bit.. Sammy IF he can stay healthy should make a case as a top 10 guy
Bronxbomber21 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy, Dareus (when he wants to be) Incognito

Not to be that guy but Elliot and Howard have one year of production, Shady has been productive for years. I would say they're top 5 but Shady ahead of Howard and Elliot, slightly behind Bell and Johnson.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Since Tyrod was invited to the probowl, he's worth mentioning.... 😉

I would say they're top 5 but Shady ahead of Howard and Elliot, slightly behind Bell and Johnson. I guess I kind of look at it as, if you're starting a franchise and can take any RB, who would it be? With that thought process, I think the youth of Elliot and Howard are what give them that slight edge. That said, I totally agree they need to prove they can keep producing.
Bill_with_it Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Mccoy is the only top five player on this roster without the use of the word if.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy, DiMarco, Incognito, Dareus, Hauschka
GunnerBill Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy and Dareus. I think the next closest is Cordy Glenn. As I have said before I think when you look back over a 4 or 5 year period at consistency and excellence at left tackle it really comes down to: Tyron Smith Trent Williams Jason Peters Joe Thomas Andrew Whitworth I think they are the top 5. After that Cordy Glenn and Terron Armstead are the next two that come to mind. If Whitworth finally begins to decline a bit this year I say there is every chance we are talking about Glenn as a top 5 left tackle by next off season.
Buddo Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Without any sort of caveats, just McCoy and Incognito. With the 'ifs', Dareus and Watkins. (Attitude and fitness). Hughes is worthy of a mention, but just as a 4-3 pass rusher, where he excels. Top 5 in a much more specific category. Glenn is on the outside looking in, but is comfortably a top 10 OT.
Bronxbomber21 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy, DiMarco, Incognito, Dareus, Hauschka That's a good one I forgot about DiMarco
rodneykm Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) McCoy, Dareus, Incognito, Watkins (when healthy), DiMarco Edited March 22, 2017 by rodneykm
r00tabaga Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Ryan Denney and Shaud Williams ...if they were still playing
FireChan Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 McCoy Watkins Dareus Watkins over Brown/Green/Jones/OBJ/Hopkins/Evans?
Kirby Jackson Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Watkins over Brown/Green/Jones/OBJ/Hopkins/Evans?In terms of talent, I could get behind this (if healthy). He could be ahead of Hopkins and Evans on that list. If we are talking "talent" the argument can certainly be made. If we are talking "players at a position" it's a tough sell because of his health. I kind of feel the same about Dareus but with off the field stuff. I'll go McCoy, Incognito, Kyle and Tate (as a returner).
thebandit27 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Watkins over Brown/Green/Jones/OBJ/Hopkins/Evans? If we're talking WR talent, then Julio is probably the only guy I'd take ahead of Sammy, since he's the only one that is elite in literally every aspect of the position (size, speed, route-running, catch radius, etc.). The only aspect that Sammy lacks in comparison to Julio is size.

The only aspect that Sammy lacks in comparison to Julio is size. Size IMO is talent, and that's why I think I like Evans and Green too.
