Rank our top 5 players and bottom 5

I'm curious to see whatyou guys think our best 5 players are and our worst 5. Here's my list.
Of course, the bottom five should be pulled from our starters not our scrubs.
Oh, and Kickers don't count, unless your French... or play soccer...or drink Coors light...or you are a gay vegetarian thespian.

1. Deuce McAllister- While I was probably the 1st to call him out last year, I still think he's our best player. I have no problem with the ankle excuse or the play-calling limitations. I just wish he was more of a leader.
2. Aaron Brooks-He is having a pro-bowl year. I'll bet the Raiders would kill for this guy.
3. Mike McKenzie-I know we've only seen a little from him so far, but from what I have seen, its become painfully obvious how bad the rest of the defense is.
4. Charles Grant-He still needs a lot of work on run defense, but with his skills and attitude he will get there
5. LeCharles Bentley-Its hard to put any O-lineman on this list. but he is a stud OG who WILL become a stud OC.

Now the bottom five...
5. Darren Ow-ward-OK I stole that moniker from someone else but its quite creative and fitting, so sue me. He looks nothing like a franchise DE even when he does play. He replaces Tebucky Jones as the most overpaid performer on this team.
4. James Allen-I know he isn't starting anymore but he still deserves to be on this list. Touted as a LB solid vs the run but bad against the pass, he turned out to be horrible at both.
3. Boo Williams-What was supposed to be his pro-bowl coming out party has turned into major concerns about him even being on the team next year.
2. Sedrick Hodge-A LB with all the physical skill one could ask for. The fact that he isn't dominant at all is frustating enough to land him here. Maybe a bit harsh because he's only a little below average but he should be better.
1. Victor Riley-A once solid run blocker and a decent pass blocker has turned into the Jonathan Sullivan of O-linemen. The single bigest disappointment on this team.
