Defense Position Rankings

I think your asking us what position on defense do we believe is the most important?

Thats pretty easy. It all starts upfront. So the entire DLine is the most important part of the defense. Every position behind the line depends on the Line stopping the run.

But most everybody knows this here.

OK, you may have posed the question better than I did but I must disagree that most everyone knows that the D-line is the most important. I\'ve read many (not all) posters here and other forums that argued we needed a shut-down corner more than another D Lineman. \"Gotta have a shut-down corner. Can\'t have a great D without a SDCB\".

I thought it might be interesting to see how others view the importance of certain positions relative to others. My grades for our players at those positions mucked up the post a bit.

I personally think a SDCB is more of a luxury, whereas a stud DL is a absolute necessity. I thought I\'d get much more disagreement than I have so far.

But its also only June and I\'m over-jonesin for some football.

Why can\'t we be like hockey and have about a 3 week offseason?
