Dubz41 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Jones is still more potential because of the injury thing. If he became available all 16 games he'd be top five. I went Martinez because he's earned it. Right now he is the soul of the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means the place should probably go to Linsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatZepp Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Is it positional value? Is it replacement depth on roster? Is it perception? Other players are viewed just that highly? Why is Corey Linsley so low for some people? not just anyone can step in and play center. Denver had McGovern who’s been a decent starter at guard the last few years just bomb when he tried filling in at center and how Elflein did in Minnesota or Price in Cincinnati. Linsley should at least be in the discussion after Frederick, Kelce and Hudson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linsley should at least be in the discussion after Frederick, Kelce and Hudson. I attribute it to positional value and understand that sentiment, even though I appreciate Linsley’s reliability. I think plenty of NFL players of any position would bomb if switched to another position, especially if they were merely a “decent” starter at the other one, so don’t really see the appeal of that arguement. And I don’t really see it as a disrespect to Linsley that he has not won a poll yet. The players listed above him are also very good and accomplished. I also see it as a numerical thing. If a guy is, say, a top-5 or top-7 center, that’s like top-16-22% since there are 32 of those starting slots in the league. Meanwhile, a position that has 2 or 3 starting slots has more competition for that numerical ranking, and could match the percentage ranking being a top 10-14 player at a 2-slot position or a top15-21 player at a 3-slot position. And that’s before you factor positional value from a scheme perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
