Top 15 players in the NFC South

[Verge]

Now that the draft is over, I figure we can use threads like these to at least talk about something between now and training camp. How would you rank the top 25 players in the NFC south? Try to remain as unbiased as possible.

1. Luke Kuechly 
2. Matt Ryan
3. Julio Jones 
4. Drew Brees
5. Cam Newton
6. Thomas Davis
7. Greg Olsen
8. Terron Armstead
9. Mike Evans
10. Vic Beasley 
11. Kawaan Short
12. Gerald McCoy 
13. Devonta Freeman
14. Jameis Winston 
15. Lavonte David/Deion Jones

Agree, disagree? Anyone I am forgetting, post your opinion and your list below.

1. Julio

2. Cam

3. Ryan

4. Luke

5. Moleface 

6. Crab legs

7. Olsen

8. Evans

9. Short

10. TD/Freeman/David

[JawnyBlaze]

Matt Ryan at 2? He's not even the second QB. I'll also not include rookies but McCaffrey, lattimore and Howard could easily be on this list after this year. 

1. Luke

2. Julio

3. Brees (if we're considering whole career, Cam if just talking right now)

4. Cam

5. TD

6. McCoy

7. Short

8. Freeman

9. David

10. Winston

11. Trufant 

12. Evans

13. Ryan

14. Hamster

15. Star

Very hard to put these guys in order. Could make an argument for a few different guys at the bottom.

Not going to try my hand at a ranking, but I've got to say, it's a pretty fun time to be a fan of an NFC south team.

 

1. last 2 NFC champs
2. all 4 teams have franchise QBs
3. quite a bit of parity -  at least in terms of talent. I think Saints & Bucs management issues have held them back, though Bucs look to be on a fairly good path at the moment.

Think back to what this division looked like in 2014...  laughing stock of the NFL.  Fortunes have changed!

The Ryan hate is strong in here...

He's in the top 4 of most lists.

Falcons fans are insecure about Matt Ryan.

[Darth Biscuit]

I'm not a fan of these lists either... at the very least if you're going to do this, split it into offense and defense.
