Not sure why Chubb would be #1 at RB but oh well, his lack of being an elite pass catcher puts him below a few others who are much better at that.  

And I would honestly take Parsons and TJ Watt when healthy over Garrett all day long.

 

Edmunds I do love his size and range at LB, and nuts Bears lost Roquan Smith and get Edmunds to replace him, pretty solid and quick replacement and bring in another elite level LB.

 

How is Foyesade Oluokun not included in the off the ball LB unit?  Especially when Shaq Leonard was hurt most of last season and Oluokun had a great year, lead the NFL in tackles.  

 

Who are the WRs?  I assume this in this order.

 

Justin Jefferson
Tyreek Hill
AJ Brown
Davante Adams
Stefon Diggs

I'm a little surprised to not see Bakhtiari on the OT list.  I suppose it is because he's had injury issues lately.  But when he is out there he is one of the best.

I know it's very much a case of "What have you done for me lately?" but TJ Watt being 4th on this list is insane.
