[QUOTE="doughsellz, post: 246197, member: 1158"] Well NFL Network ranks Rodgers #5 as far as FFL numbers are concerned. If the production is there in '09 like it was in '08, all Rodgers needs to do is learn how to escape the pass rush better & he will be a Top 5 QB. Tauscher is done. With the youth waiting to develop there's no way an ailing #65 takes away reps from the guy(s) who need them more. I will be surprised if Tauscher takes any reps at all as a starter in '09. Driver isn't the threat he used to be. He's still able to get open & break the occasional long TD, but as far as a triple threat like Jennings (speed, hands & agility) has come in just a few short years, there's no way Driver can claim to be the #1 go-to guy in GB, moreso better than Jennings. I do think as well as they complement each other, Driver & Jennings are a Top 5 WR tandem. Grant has a big ? mark on him for '09. I think he'll make believers out of us all though. O-line doesn't have a Top Ten player among them. They're solid to effective as a group but no individual stands out as a definitive Pro Bowler. Yet. D-line is much better than the O-line, even without Kampman. I like Jolly's hustle & Jenkins is a versatile guy, able to disrupt the passing game & defend against the run. Pickett is unsung outside of GB but may be the only worthy prospect of this group for a Top Ten at DT/NT. As a sidenote, I want to say that I feel REALLY good about the D-line's prospects in the 3-4. To me it just feels like this group of guys will be able to gel quickly & that will make the LBs a better unit. I can't say exactly why but I get good vibes when I envision Pickett, Jolly, Jenkins, Raji & Harrell (yes, Harrell) being able to carry the load in '09. If even one other guy (Malone, Montgomery, Talley, Wynn) steps up this will be a dominant D-line. Even though #74 is an OLB now he's still most definitely a Top Ten player, regardless of position. Strength, speed & quickness are a lethal combination at any spot on defense. Throw in intelligence & experience & you have maybe the best OLB in the league come voting time in December. I'm keeping fingers crossed that another injury doesn't spell doom for the CB position for GB. I love Harris' overall game but don't foresee him able to sustain what he's done for so long that much longer. Woodson has found a home in GB's secondary & I'm thankful for that. He's certainly Top 5. Collins has gotten some great opportunities to shine, especially in '08. Those high INT numbers & the pick-six ability rocketed him to relevance as a FS in the NFL. He deserved the Pro Bowl nod but can he continue to improve? I've got my doubts. For him to be so concerned with $$$ instead of getting better (not saying this is so, just IMHO), like not attending the OTAs leads me to conclude he's believing his own hype. Not a good sign. I hope I'm wrong. Bigby has to dominate this year if he wants to be considered Top Ten. Crosby kicks like a 12-gauge shotgun so I'm not worried about his physical skills.
