[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 614559, member: 9033"] One, there's always a possibility that if you change something to that 2010 team then it wouldn't win the Super Bowl. However, I'd note that Bulaga wasn't actually that good in 2010 (PFF had him ranked 71st out of 78 tackles that played 25% of their team's snaps). Looking at contracts for positions is a terrific way to judge the value of a position, and then within that position you can get an idea of how good that player is within that position (it's certainly not perfect, just look at Flacco's contract). But I think most would agree that WRs are more important to a team than right tackles and the contract values for top-WRs reflect that value (Cobb is making quite a bit more than Bulaga). Pass rushers make more than run stuffers, corners make more than safeties, etc. A top WR will always be a more important player than a top RT (in a realistic scenario). The top-paid RT in the NFL is Cherilus on the Colts (according to overthecap.com) and he makes $7 million per year. We'll skip Calvin Johnson because his contract is insane but the next tier of WR's are paid $11 million per year. That difference in pay wouldn't exist if RTs were just as important and difficult to find as WRs. [/QUOTE]
