Big Ben has to be 1, he might not have the most talent but he was the QB of a Superbowl winning team and i think that is an objective of any franchise cornerstone. the only other people who played in a SB on the list that are Harris and Addai but they werent play QB.

Also id like to put marques colston in there, im not quite sure who he should replace yet....maybe take laron laundry because he is kind of splitting that tag with jason cambel (QB 26) who should have been considered

Ya i see cambell maybe instead of rodgers but i feel like you its who you'd pikc first to start you franchise out. And i just feel AP is a once in decade rb while Ben is a great qb he's not as great a qb as AP is a rb

if your gonna put tommie harris that high then u got put demarcus ware right around that area if not higher...i think dware has a greater impact on games than tommie harris

Hmmmm see i felt that Tommie Harris as a DT is better to build aorund becasue he free's up the entire D-fence. When Tommie was out last year DA Bears defense was much weaker as a result, now if D-Ware was out im sure the cowboys D would be effected but not as much. A plug in the middle i feel is just better to build around that an out side rusher.

I just worry about S Jacks ability to stay healthy.
