Vilma by the mercy rule.

Vilma. Already a top 5 guy in his second year and still has the potential to improve in a good situation. Although I'm a huge Mike Peterson guy.

Might consider adding Donnie Edwards, Brian Urlacher, Keith Bulluck or Antonio Pierce. Those guys are probably on par with Tatupu or Williams.

I know he's old, but I think you need to have the #1 guy on the poll until he's not the #1 guy. Hence I request that Zach Thomas be added.

On 2 related notes for Tick:

1. This forum gets a lot less activity than the Shark Pool, so we may not be able to do more than 1 player a day per position. I will vote in every thread I see, and I think alot of the IDP guys will do likewise. I'm intereted to see how many total votes there are in this forum for IDP's, I'd expect a fair number of close votes due to less people voting.

2. Do we want to break out DT/DE & CB/S? I'd say no, but others may differ.

I also voted Vilma. He's young and dominant.

Yeah, I don't know what to expect, but figured I'd give it a shot and see what the response is. I'll add Zach Thomas to the next poll.

I'll throw out a poll on the breakdown thing - it might help a little.

Vilma is the clear #1.

Ditto that Vilma is the man..

This is enough of a landslide that I'm going to move on to #2.

I voted other just to stir the pot

I like O. Thurman in Lewis' system as one of the top dogs going forward.

I think him and Vilma will both be top 5 for years to come..... just a different perspective

Just because I like Thurman does not mean I would take him first I really like his situation going forward

I agree Vilma all the way.

Keith Bulluck should have been in the vote, he would be my 2nd or 3rd choice in a dynasty league

I voted Vilma, but would add Urlacher & Bullock to the next vote.

I realize this is closed now but I voted other for Bulluck

I voted Vilma. Leads the league in tackles most of the year and doesn't have a bad situation. It most certainly could get better though.

I would mark Antonio Pierce down as a close second. He is becoming a clear defensive MVP for any team.
