ESPN: Ranking the AFCW Defensive Backs
 

Looks like Bill Williamson likes Eric Berry & thinks the Oakland backs will suck without Nnamdi. Same for Denver if they lose the ancient old aged Champ. Seems to like Sandy Eggo:


1. Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland: This may change. Many league observers expect Asomugha to leave the Raiders when free agency starts. That would be a major hit to this list.

2. Champ Bailey, Denver: Bailey is aging, but he is still an elite-level player.

3. Eric Berry, Kansas City: Berry could be atop this list next year. The second-year safety appears to be a special player.

4. Quentin Jammer, San Diego: The veteran cornerback is underrated. He is a stalwart.

5. Brandon Flowers, Kansas City: He is a favorite of NFL scouts. He is becoming one of the better young cornerbacks in the league.

6. Eric Weddle, San Diego: He is a top safety and a playmaker.

7. Stanford Routt, Oakland: This is a big year for Routt, who just signed a big contract with the Raiders. He’ll be challenged if Asomugha leaves.

8. Antoine Cason, San Diego: Cason is an up-and-coming player. He was very solid is his first season as a starter last year.

9. Brandon Carr, Kansas City: Carr is a strong right cornerback. He and Flowers make a nice tandem.

10. Bob Sanders, San Diego: The new Charger has to show he can stay healthy. If so, he’ll be a great pickup.

11. Tyvon Branch, Oakland: Branch is a good, strong player, but he still has to improve.

12. Michael Huff, Oakland: Huff is decent, not great. He could leave in free agency.

13. Andre Goodman, Denver: He is nearing the end of his career, but he’ll probably start in 2011.

14. Brian Dawkins, Denver: This could be his final season.

15. Steve Gregory, San Diego: He is a solid role player.

16. Kendrick Lewis, Kansas City: Lewis and Berry could be a pair for years.

17. Chris Johnson, Oakland: He could start if Asomugha leaves and the youngsters aren’t ready.

18. Javier Arenas, Kansas City: He could be a good nickel for the long term.

19. Mike Mitchell, Oakland: It’s time for this 2009 second-round pick to make a move.

20. Rahim Moore, Denver: I have a feeling this second-round pick will be ranked much higher next year.

What an awful list.

This.

Hope KnowMo had his condom on before opening this thread

I've seen worse list, but Bailey is nowhere near that good anymore.

Hey - at least its football-related. Kind of....

He absolutely shut down Bowe when he was covering him last year. Champ is still a top 3 corner.

Perrish Cox, Sydquan Thompson, and Andre Goodman should be in the top in this list,

Post ejaculate high

Denver's top 3 are all washed up. SD's top is washed up. The Raider's best is on a bus out of town.

KC's oldest is a 3 year vet. Nice

Dear God please let the CBA get done and camp start soonest.
These lists are getting dumber as time goes on.

Nice job of holding him just under 100 yards per game and 1 TD pg. I'm sure that was only against zone though, right?

When we blew you guys out in the first game we were playing a very soft zone from the first quarter on. I don't even think Bowe had a catch on Champ when Champ was playing man to man.

Champ was a great player.

On his canton bust it will say "Atleast I got outa Washington"
