Everyone knows there are many great players throughout the National Football League. There are also many players whose style of play is very similar. There are pocket passers who use there legs less for running and more for shifting and shuffling in the pocket. Also you have the duo threat running backs that can hurt you carrying the ball as well as catching it out of the back field. Wide Receivers is the position where you can have a deep threat like Randy Moss or a guy that can go short and deep like a Larry Fitzgerald. Those are many things you can look for in great players on the offensive side of the ball.

As for the defense, there are many things as well that are changing. If it’s for the better that of the game is your decision. You have you old school hard noise pass rusher like Jared Allen or Patrick Kerney. Many teams now are looking for a player with tremendous speed and power. Great example of this is the New York Giants Osi Umenyiora and the Dallas Cowboys DeMarcus Ware. Both these guys can rush the passer with the best of them, but can also drop back into coverage to guard your tight end. This is something that in my option has made defenses better and much more fun to watch.

I am going to have a WHO WOULD YOU TAKE LIST POISTION BY POISTION. I will pick players who skills sets are very similar and would are all great players in the NFL today. I will have my pick under it as well.

·         QB-- Payton Manning or Tom Brady? Tony Romo or Carson Palmer?

Manning and Romo are my choices for this position. Manning is the best quarterback in the NFL. He always put the ball in the right spot and very rarely makes a mistake. He also makes a mean Sony commercial. Also I would go with ROMO over Palmer. I think Palmer is overrated and Romo style is fun and exciting. He is mobile in and out of the pocket and has a very accurate arm.

·         RB—LaDainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson or Brian Westbrook.

These are the three elite back in the NFL. If you don’t think so you need to get some help. Anyone of the three would make a defensive coordinator go a-wall. If I had to pick one to take for my team I would take………….. Adrian Peterson. He to me is the football version of Albert Puljous. He is the most feared player in his sport to see of the opposing team. LT is the same way, but I just think AP is the cream of the crop. It’s ok just call me crazy.  

·         FB—Lorenzo Neal or Greg Jones.

I would pick Greg Jones. Jones has the speed and power to scare any defensive player in the league. He can block and also can catch the ball if needed.

·         WR—Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Terrell Owens, and Braylon Edwards.

All of these guys would make any Quarterback happy, but there can only be one winner here.  My pick at the receiver position is Larry Fitzgerald. I think his game is better all around then all of these guys. He is easily the best route runner in the bunch here and also can go get it with the best of them. If I get two I would pick Braylon Edwards; he is the younger version of T.O.

·         TE—Jason Witten, Kelvin Winslow, Dallas Clark, and Antonio Gates.
