There are other exceptionally talented and productive tight ends in the NFL - - to inlcude Jason Witten, Kellen Winslow II, Algae Crumpler, Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates. Is Cooley the best TE in the NFL as of now? No. Is he in the top five of the tight ends in the NFL as of now? Absolutely. Does that make him a mortal lock to be in the Top Fifty Players in the NFL? NO, it does not...
Is Chris Samuels the best OT in the NFC East? Maybe yes - - but also may be no. He's very good, but is he one of the 50 best players on the NFL? If you were designing a 50 man roster and had your pick from anywhere in the league, would Samuels be a guy you would write into your roster in India ink? Not on my list...
Now if you want to get me upset, how did he miss Ade Jimoh on this list. Or Rock Cartwright ...  |
i agree with this post, but i'd omit vernon davis in place of somebody that's actually proved he can play, like gonzo.
