I love how they still talk about the five championships.... How many play off appearances since? Not to mention, the had to cheat the cap, to win that one....

A top run stuffer and a top pass rusher.......not too bad there Mickey. Keep your eyes out for a top LB'er while you're getting everyting else done.

Aubrayo Franklin (SF) - ok he is not a house hold name but he is as solid of a NT in the NFL as u can find. Plus he has always impressed me as a player that would really blossom in a 43 defense vs the 34 he in now. Not to say he is not doing well in the 34.

1. Aubrayo Franklin, San Francisco 49ers

Age as of 1st September 2011: 31

2010 Grade: +15.5

Key Stat: 37 defensive stops. Third most of all defensive tackles.

Behind The Numbers: Let’s be honest, there are not enough quality nose tackles in the league right now, so good ones are all the more valuable. Franklin isn’t a one gap nose tackle that is all the rage, but a true prototypical, run stuffing, gobble up running backs two gapper. He’s not going to get after the passer, but when you can anchor a line like Franklin you really don’t need to.

Can't wait to see one of our big bodies squash another SHI* stain out of Matt Ryan...

There won't be enough bleach in Georgia to clean his uniform.
