    They have released 41-100 so far and Duane Brown comes in at 48.

    Andre & Arian will both make the list again, while it looks like Joseph falls off (was ranked 73 last year). Cushing may make it again despite being injured most of the season and of course JJ Watt will be there. Any other Texans I'm missing?

    I doubt Cushing makes it again if they're already down to 41 and below...

    I never watch this but I happened to be flipping through right when they started talking about Duane. They mentioned that he was the first of four Texans on the list. So you have to assume the others will be Arian, Andre, and JJ.

    you're right. just saw that he made it at 54 last year so no way he'll make the top 40 this year

    I would be disappointed if Watt wasn't the the top ranked non-QB.

    I wouldn't object to Adrian Peterson being ranked above Watt, but only him.

    Watt would be #1 on my list (no lower than top 5). Was there anyone in the league that had a better season than him last year?

    1. All Day
    2. Swatt
    3. Tim Tebow (jk, Peyton, maybe?)

    It's crazy how underappreciated JJ Watt STILL is by the national media. The dude seriously put together a top three individual defensive season ever. Like, ever. We are so lucky to have him.

    My prediction: Arian will be in the no. 25 spot for third year in a row, and Andre gets back into the top 15 for having one of his best years but JJ will do even better making it into the top 5

    The issue is both Peterson and Megatron did the same thing at their respective positions. I'm fine with the media coverage he got.

    Media coverage doesn't mean jack squat anyways.

    Rodgers is the highest rated quarterback of all time in the NFL, based on at least 1,500 pass attempts. In fact, he is the only quarterback in the history of the league to have a quarterback rating above 100.

    Very true Watt had an all-time good season. I don't think he's that under appreciated so much. Its just that the BEASTLY fast start Cam Newton, Chris Johnson type seasons might be in people's minds, and a lot can change in a year. Watt "only" had 5 sacks the previous season (though it was a respected season)

    And it kinda depends on the media too. Broadcast media they talk endlessly about Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez more than champion Joe Flacco. I'd say finally after 20 years of internet that internet/print media now is legitimizing itself as reliable coverage against that.

    Cushing should be in this list too, and the players would've voted for him if he didnt get hurt.
    But again Peyton was in last years list, when he didnt even play the year before, Revis is on this list, and he got hurt too.
