Biggest Defensive Snub: Brandon Graham, DE, Philadelphia Eagles

The Pro Bowl remains a popularity contest, which Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham just found out the hard way.

Graham was the best player on the Eagles this season, a dominant presence who disrupted consistently while ranking with the likes of Oakland's Khalil Mack as one of the best rushers in the game.

Granted, Graham didn't tally the sexy stats needed to jump off the page. He had 59 total tackles, two forced fumbles and just 5.5 sacks, which was only good enough to get him alternate status—otherwise known as snub status.

Look at the other accolades Graham compiled, as noted by reporter Brandon Lee Gowton:

Over at Pro Football Focus, only Mack graded higher on the edge:

Graham isn't a household name and found himself stuck on a 7-9 team. But sooner or later he's going to need the props he deserves.

A status as a top-tier, unacceptable snub is a good place to start.

Biggest Offensive Snub: Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees remains one of the most disrespected players in the league.

Brees keeps posting video game-esque stats, yet fans and others decided to vote someone such as Dallas Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott into the game.

Silly. Brees' Saints only went 7-9, but his 5,208 passing yards led the league. His 37 touchdowns placed him third. His 70 percent completion clip: second. His yards per attempt: 7.74, sixth. His yards per game: 326, first.

Saints receiver Brandin Cooks put it best, according to NFL.com's Conor Orr: "That's just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. What are we looking at? What are we voting on? Like, I don't get it. The guy is leading in so many categories. He's having a great year."

The NFC isn't an easy place to make a Pro Bowl at quarterback, not with Aaron Rodgers hanging around and other big names who didn't make it such as Matthew Stafford still vying for a shot. But Brees has been around a long time and is one of the league's biggest names, so blatantly ignoring raw numbers in an era where they seem to hold such an important weight is downright odd. 

MVP Pick: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

It's silly to expect anyone else.

Dallas rookie back Ezekiel Elliott was a sensation this year, leading the league in rushing at 1,631 yards, adding 15 scores and a 5.1 yard-per-carry average to the equation for good measure.

Back in early December, it was Elliott leading the Pro Bowl voting. It is almost like the rookie has an obligation to put on a show while staking his claim at the yearly event.

The rookie status makes this pick all the easier. Elliott, like many rookies or first-time entrants, will want to make a big splash. It helps that he shares the backfield with fellow standout rookie Jordan Howard of the Chicago Bears, adding competition to the equation.

With quarterbacks rotating in and out and Elliott being arguably the biggest star in attendance, he is the easy MVP pick.
