This one might ruffle some feathers around here.

Not really they are opinions. Leonard has more seasons under his belt so more coaches and players have played against him to give 1st hand opinions.

Probably wouldnt have Surtain that high, and would probably have Terrell higher. Is Lattimore really that good now? He has seemed to fall of from a very good first two years, but I didnt watch them much this year

I think thats on the lower scale for Diggs, but 5 to 10 is about right for me

Not on the LBs. Leonard is the best and been doing it since 2018. But Diggs lower than the rookie Surtain? Don't know about that. I'd chirp about that too.

It also off ball LB's. If you factor in pass rushing and blitzing, Parson and White would be higher

This will hurt the posters that say the only lists that matter are the ones that are made up of players and coaches.

I wasn't talking about Leonard over Parsons.

I was talking about Diggs being ranked the 10th best CB.

Surtain had a great year, but I always like to see how CB's follow up before calling them elite.

If Parson can put up a better season this year than he did last season, he will rank the best in most opinions. Again I just tend not to put much stock in these polls

I think if anyone is butt hurt about its the people saying how over rated he is. Top 10 in your second year isnt anything to scoff at

It is their opinion, I agree there are things Diggs must improve on in terms of making big plays he does that. While I do not expect 11 ints I do know he will continue to get ints if QB continue to go his way in large part the guy has ball skills of a WR. There are CB who can get into position but they lack the ball skills to make catch on contested throws.

Other than surtain I could see the logic
Coaches and players are limited to actually seeing a player and about a quarter of them have seen Diggs
If I rated players I’d give more credit to guys who have done it over multiple years
The LB position is fairly accurate to me

it’s just someone’s opinion. I don’t know why folks get riled up over opinions. It’s not going to affect his play or our wins or losses. As a fan I hope he continues to progress. He doesn’t have a lot of experience at cb. I do think if qbs keep throwing his way he will continue to get ints. I don’t remember many lucky ints from him last year. Seems he made plays on the ball on the majority.

I don’t think so. I expected Diggs not to even make it based on his reputation of getting beat deep…..

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Two seasons in and top 10? I’ll take it.

I heard guys talking about this list on radio today, he's 10th on this list but also mentioned as high as 3rd on this list.

 

[baltcowboy]

I don’t understand how a poll would ruffle feathers. They are both top 10 players at their positions. Both will get top dollar when they are free agents.

 

[Pass2Run]

Not really they are opinions. Leonard has more seasons under his belt so more coaches and players have played against him to give 1st hand opinions.

I think it's a fair assessment overall. Not exactly right. But not too far off.

 

[Corso]

My feathers are, like, so ruffled.
How can the team I root for have a top 10 CB?
So ruffled right now...
I'm off to have a stiff drink.

@phildadon86

I guess the players and me agree.

Diggs is a top CB, but Ramsey is at a different level.
