I read the recent ESPN article from PFF grading out every NFL starting line-up and how the Lions came up 31st. I think the grading is off, and I'd like to compare my estimates to that provided for their top team, the Bucs.
QB Brady 93.3, Goff my ballpark estimate 89
RB Fournette 65.5, Swife my estimate 80
WR Evans 74.9, Tyrell Williams estimate 68
WR Goodwin 76.0, St Paul estimate 68
WR Brown 82.2, Cephus estimate 72
TE Gronkowski 70.9, Hockenson 77
TE Howard 54.9, Fells 55
OT Smith 72.8, Decker 84
OG Marpet 80.7, Jonah Jackson 76
OC Jensen 63.6, Ragnow 77
OG Cappa 67.7, Vaitai 73
OT Wirfs 84.1, Sewell 79
DL Suh 62.4, McNeill 73
DL Vea 89.9, Brockers 88
DL Gholston 61.6, Onwuzurike 68
LB Barrett 74.7, Romeo Okwara 72
LB Pierre-Paul 66.3, Flowers 74
LB David 78.8, Collins 77
LB White 48.1, Anzalone 50
CB Davis 65.7, Okudah 71
CB Dean 75.4,Oruwariye 70
S Murphy-Bunting 59.6, Harris 60
S Winfield 70.3, Walker 72
I think we're a lot closer than others' think. QB is the only position that might have a bit of a difference, but I'd attribute that to Brady being a GOAT candidate.
