I agree. Like Julio Jones, who when healthy, is definitely a top 5 wr in the NFL. Some guys they went off of reputation (Andre Johnson) and other guys they went of last years stats/success (Russell Wilson). There is no consistency but overall I haven't been too upset with what I've seen.

After the year he had last season, I do not see how you could say he's not?

19.5 sacks on a struggling defense, unlike teams with 2+ great rushers, he gets focused by blocks and still was able to be very dominant.

He played lights out last year. That positive test taints it a little.

Guys like Jamie Collins, Deandre Levy, Clay Matthews, Orakpo, Hightower, etc shouldn't be far behind him though

Thanks for bringing up bad memories, bro.

Nah, joking. That was a fun game though.

Mathis did play lights out last year, for sure.

My bad man, at least i didn't bring up the Super........ Lol. Got my tickets for the Rams game in STL, can't wait to see how we stack up.

Seems odd that in almost every group of these screens there are players with pics taken facing away from camera, deliberate because they don't have a face scan? Also, SF's helmet is no where near that reflective in real life, much more opaque in actuality.

This makes me a feel a lot less irritated about them leaving Von, Aldon, (Hardy) and Mathis off the Top DEs.
