Suh is #54? I stop reading after that.

 

[Califan007]

Either they have the rookie QBs ranked high, or they don't have them ranked at all.

Not sure which one would be more questionable.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Umm very debatable I'll just leave it at that...

In no way is Percy better than Dez. Interestingly they have witten above t.gonz. curious if they have Davis gronk and others above them.

Even after breaking the all-time TE record for receptions in a season with 110 last season, Jason Witten still doesn't get the respect he deserves. If healthy, he will overtake Shannon Sharpe to stand at #2 in receptions all-time for tight ends early in the season. He is only 31 years old & still in the prime of his career. He should be in the top 30 players in the NFL.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find at least 30 players better than Witten right now in the NFL. Finding 30 players with better careers would be harder.

I wouldn't take Demaryius Thomas or Percy Harvin AND a first round pick for Dez Bryant. Unlimited potential with Dez.

 

[Sarge]

Dez is about to climb that list fast.

Dez is good, but he has to put together a few seasons like last year before I even put him in the same sentence as Witten. Witten is the best at his position right now and I would say in the top 5 ever in his position.
