The 2023 All-NFC North Team: RG

[swede700]

The All-NFC North team is back. 

The DT battle was a one man show with Kenny Clark clearly being the DT far and above everyone else with 15 votes.  Then it came down to pretty much name-recognition (the likely outcome) with Harrison Phillips with 7 votes and then a bunch of other votes spread to different players.  I appreciate the votes, since that's the most we've had thus far (or at least close to the most).  We'll move back to the offensive line, but on the right side, by picking the starting RG.

Probably Nate Davis, but fully based on his performance with Tennessee. 

Vaitai didn’t play last year. And Runyan isn’t particularly notable. And Ingram, needs improvement.

Runyan or Ingram will be the best values for their teams if they progress, but neither of them are the best player at the position in the NFC North yet. Vitai may be the best player if he is healthy and returns to his peak form.  I have my doubts he'll return to his pre-injury form.

At the moment, Davis can sit on the throne even though I am not convinced he is worth the contract that the Bears gave him. I would rather have someone with more pass-blocking proficiency and would expect it for $10M per year.  I would rather pay more per year for a top 10 guard or pay less for a guy on a rookie contract with potential to develop -- a Runyan or Ingram type.
