ESPN position group rankings

Not a whole bunch of good news overall.

Interior d-line is the highest ranking position group, and makes it into the top half.

Was just about to post this.

This authors lists are highly suspect, IMO.

I am definitely not buying we are worse at QB than the Seahawks. Unless Milroe turns out to be a stud. 

Highly disrespectful for our RB group to be 28th. That's insane.

OL at 19, I feel the same way. We should easily be in the top 15.

IDL at 14 is probably a little high, TBH. DB is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there.

CB at 16 is debateable. Easily could be lower. More so due to the question marks.

S at 27 feels like we are getting very little credit for signing Moehrig. Now, it is a pretty awful in terms of depth.

You can tell the list is compete dogshit when our RB group, ya know, THE  ONLY ONE in the NFL with TWO 1000 yard rushers ranks 28th.  Im not saying we deserve a ton of respect or anything, but dude, anyone with a functional brain can see that position group is top 10 at least.

Even if it isn't top 10, there is absolutely zero justification for it being outside the top 15.

The fact that our RBs are 28th when Chuba was top 10 in rushing yards and rushing TDs among RBs just tells you how clueless ESPN is...

The oline being 19th is a joke also

I was watching a podcast with Kyle Long and one of the guys... I think his name was Brock Vereen? He mentioned that the RB room in Carolina wasn't impressive despite it being the only one with two 1k-yard backs from 2024 in the room.

Kyle Long also thought we were dog water and wouldn't get over 5 wins. He gave them the two against the Saints, Miami, Arizona, and the Jets. I've got 7 wins as the team's floor atm... those five games Long gave them plus Jacksonville and at least splitting with Atlanta.

This is why I respect your takes even if I disagree with some.

Even when low on the team and questioning stuff that might oversell them, you give the same energy to the stuff that might be underselling them.

It's a great example that other Huddlers could certainly benefit from adopting as well.

Especially Egbuka with Evans and maybe Godwin in front of him. A rookie who won't even be the no. 1 on his team at 14????? Terrible.  

That's a massive bet on some things to really change or maybe that Godwin doesn't recover quickly.

Don't get me wrong, I like that Egbuka kid a lot and he is probably going to be the ultimate replacement for Evans but that is a wild thing to say.

TMac is wild too. It's assuming a lot about what our offense actually ends up looking like. AT has been the only real mildly significant fantasy WR since Bryce got here. I wouldn't bet on TMac being a fantasy stud in year 1.

Mike Jackson and Jaycee are both really good, as a duo, as well. They got disrespected in this. I also think they overvalue our QB room.

Even though the Browns have Flacco, Pickett, and Sanders, I'd put them over Young and Dalton.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
