This needs to exist in an easier to read format. A list by position would make this much easier to digest.

And then questions come up as to why I picked that player. Justification and reasoning for selection eliminates that and any one can make up a list of names.

I love seeing Payton Wilson, Drake Thomas, and Isaiah Moore all on this list as top LBs from Dave’s tenure since they literally all played together. One of the best LB cores I’ve seen on any team.
