Most Valuable Player in the NFL (1 Viewer)

[Eminence]

Let's say that hypothetically speaking that the NFL decided to 'restart'. In other words, every player would become a free - agent and there would be a draft to fill out every team's roster. You're favorite team is sitting at the coveted #1 Pick, who do you want them to take? Who is the most valuable player in the NFL?

Factor in age, position, etc.

 

[GregR]

Aaron Rodgers. If age wasn't an issue I'd have gone with Drew Brees.

 

[Sabertooth]

The first pick would be Aaron Rodgers.

First non quarterback would be Darrell Revis

 

[Gamblin'man]

Calvin Johnson has to be mentioned outside of QB

 

[JAA]

Peyton Manning?

 

[Run It Up]

Rodgers, if age wasnt an issue Brady.

Most valuable defensive player from ball so hard community college: Suh.

 

[Sabertooth]

Calvin Johnson has to be mentioned outside of QB

True, definitely worthy of a mention. He is the most unstoppable offensive weapon the the league.

 

[ExaltedOne]

#1 (maybe even every pick in the top 10!) has to be QB

The position is so important,

Rodgers would be #1.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

would it be serpentine draft or auction salary cap style.....might make a difference

 

[Mr. Peterson]

I think the fans would want someone like Rodgers. But I think there are some execs who might want someone like Joe Thomas or the best LT out there.

Calvin Johnson has to be mentioned outside of QB

Was just coming to post the same thing. Everything the Lions do on offense flows from what Calvin does to defenses.

 

[Gatorman]

I think the fans would want someone like Rodgers. But I think there are some execs who might want someone like Joe Thomas or the best LT out there.

Maybe in the past. I think that QB is the #1 pick.If we went by position, it would look like this:QBLTNT/Interior D LinePass Rushing D Line / OLBSafetyCornerWRCenterMLB/WLBRBGuardI guess this would make its own good discussion.

 

[ExaltedOne]

I think we should do a mock with this premise.

 

[Zimm]

QB - A.Rodgers

RB - A.Peterson

WR - C.Johnson

TE - R.Gronkowski

 

[Uncle Leo]

Drew Brees

So says the fan. Who's to say who the GM's would pick? And by the way, you have Corner way too low on your list.

 

[Warrior]

Peyton is the Most Valuable Player in the league. Rodgers would be chosen first.

 

[Sabertooth]

QB - A.Rodgers

RB - A.Peterson

WR - C.Johnson

TE - R.Gronkowski

One of these is not like the others. Peterson's knee is a huge question mark.

More along the lines of Foster here...especially with his pass catching ability?

 

[Eminence]

Besides the obviously elite QB Rodgers + Brees, when does the first skill player come off the board? Newton certainly has to make a claim for Top 10. Where does a guy like Cutler go? Is he more or less valuable than a shut-down corner like Darelle Revis; or a defensive stud like Suh?

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Anyone see what happened in Indy without PM this past year?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Anyone see what happened in Indy without PM this past year?

How well do you think GB would have done had Curtis Painter, Dan Orlovsky and a way over the hill and unprepared Kerry Collins taken all of the QB snaps? On the flip side, give the Colts Matt Flynn this past season as their backup and I suspect they finish a lot better than 2-14. Even with Jim Caldwell.

 

[Run It Up]

#1 (maybe even every pick in the top 10!) has to be QBThe position is so important,Rodgers would be #1.

Every Madden (the gold standard of fake football bs) fantasy draft ever disagrees, first 5 picks are always defensive players, followed by the #1 RB, thats with 32 teams.

 

[Pots]

Peyton Manning is clearly the MVP no questions

 

[UncleZen]

Peyton Manning is clearly the MVP no questions

So your first pick would be a QB that only has a couple of years left at best and may not even have that with your first pick?

Maybe that is a good general ranking of positions, but it can break down when you look at individual players. I'm going back to Calvin Johnson here - there's no LT in the league that I would trade Calvin for. Stafford was a 5000 yard passer with Jeff Backus at LT because of Calvin. There's no way that happens with Joe Thomas or Jason Peters at LT and an average (being generous) WR in place of Calvin. And we're just talking about your top position here. A safety over Calvin, are you kidding me?

 

[captbly]

CJ

 

[Pat Patriot]

If you were redrafting the league and all 32 teams had to start over, how many QB's go before the first player at another position? You have to assume a serpentine draft.

Rodgers

Brees

Brady

E. Manning

Rothliesberger

Stafford

Rivers

Newton

Vick

Luck

Could the team with the 11th pick really take Calvin Johnson (my highest rated non QB) and take a chance that they get stuck with Colt McCoy or Mark Sanchez in the 2nd round?

 

[sho nuff]

Doubt Luck goes before a position player whether its defender or O line.

 

[eakfootball]

If it was a restart draft the top 15 picks would all be QBs, maybe more. Nobody is going to pass up even a subpar young quarterback like Joe Flacco or Andy Dalton, and risk ending up with a guy like Caleb Haine leading their team.
