RpMc Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 No offense to Eric Berry, but he had four seasons in this stretch where he played 6 or fewer games. Harrison Smith belongs on the list before him. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Maybe I'm underrating him, but I find it hard to believe Mathieu was 1 of the 8 best DBs in the last decade. I'd have certainly thought Harrison Smith would make it over him, for example. Edited April 6, 2020 by iknowcool 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've been Mathieu, Harrison Smith, or Casey Hayward. Probably forgetting some other good candidates as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I initially was also upset over Harry being passed over by Berry and Weddle. Arguably, he could have been taken over either one of them, but it's a close call. Personally, of the 2, it's probably more egregious that Weddle got in over him than Berry. At least Berry had the 3 first-team All-Pros. Weddle had only 2 and Harry has nearly as many interceptions despite Weddle having played the entire decade, while Harry didn't come in until 2012. In a quick scan too, did they confuse Cameron Jordan with Cameron Wake? I like Jordan as much as the next guy (especially since he's the son of a Viking legend), but Wake was far and away a better DE.

kingseanjohn Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 They really should have separated LT and RT. But it wouldn't be a list without yet another Mitchell Schwartz snub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I don't really get how this list was determined, even just as far as positions. How is there a FLEX on offense? Is this for fantasy football or something? I mean if that's the case, bless them for going IDP. Why have safeties, cornerbacks, AND "DBs" on defense? that's weird. This is weird. At first glance, I feel like I could find a better LB than Chandler Jones, but I haven't really looked in it. Also, assuming this is based ONLY on their 2010-and-beyond resumé, I'd put Jordy Nelson in ahead of Larry Fitzgerald. Now that I think about it, I'd also probably go with AJ Green (ugh), Dez Bryant, and OBJ over Fitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think Frederick should have been on here instead of Mack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Fletcher Cox? Really? Great player, but nothing about him really screams "all-decade". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think the Chris Harris Jr and Tyrann Mathieu picks were limiting to 'slot' CBs or like utility defensive backs? I'm assuming so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
