Player rankings by position

[illinihitch]

I'd be interested in the experts on here ranking the best 5-10 players by position.

Anyone want to start? What would be the 10 best cornerback cards in your opinion, for example?

Probably easier to do a top 5; here's the top 5 of the most important positions:

WR: (Most important position)
1) LL Moss
2) CV Fitzgerald (BEST jump ball cather in the game and great yac)
3) CV Howard (Speed, agility, hands, plus a boost)
4) 98 Moss (Starting to see a theme yet)
5) CV Crabtree (good all around like Fitz, just not as explosive downfield)
*Right now I run LL Moss & CV Crabtree on outside with Desmond in the slot...but considering going back to Fitz over Tree.

DT: (Yes! DT is the 2nd most important position!)
1) LL Sapp (The NIGHTMARE that he was in real life!)
2) 96 Sapp (May find some debate here, but not from me)
3) 97 Richardson
4) HW Sue (97)
5) 96 Hampton (good run stuffer)

CB:
1) CV Woodson (AWESOME in int return game!)
2) LL Deion (not quite as good as Wood, but awesome)
3) 98 Pat Pete (he's pricey for a reason)
4) 96 Richard Sherman (Sticks to his men like glue (no homo) and has a boost)
5) T Buckley (ok, may not be the 5th best, but hands down the MOST UNDERRATED DB in the game)...hand down!

You are crazy if you think WR is most important in the game. And while I do think DT is very important, CB is 100% the most important position on the field. There is just zero question about it.

Saying Herschel is better than Barry is downright absurd.

Hey, no one said this was going to be perfect. I think this because I haven't had problems stopping LL Barry in the games I've played against him. I always have trouble stopping Herschel.
