Luke cracking the top 10 this year?

So everyone knows the top 100 players countdown done by NFL.com every year is basically a popularity contest; Although having the approval of your peers means at least something if you are a player I would assume.  At any rate, the rankings are down to the top 20 and I'm curious if Luke will crack the top 10 this year.  He was 15 last year and yes, I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm dying for some football and I'll have to settle for meaningless countdowns and such for the next 4.5 weeks until TC starts.

Potential players still left to be ranked (in no particular order)

  • Aaron Rodgers
  • Richard Sherman
  • Jamaal Charles
  • Tom Brady
  • JJ Watt
  • Luke Kuechly
  • Le'Veon Bell
  • Antonio Brown
  • Andrew Luck
  • Calvin Johnson
  • Peyton Manning
  • Rob Gronkowski
  • Dez Bryant
  • Marshawn Lynch
  • Demariyus Thomas
  • Julio Jones
  • Jordy Nelson
  • Patrick Peterson
  • Darrelle Revis

I'm sure there might be a few names I'm not thinking of perhaps, but it should be enough to make an informed decision.  I'm saying Luke just misses the top 10.  Thoughts?

I bolded all the players that I could understand being top 10 in the league last year. Doesn't necessarily mean I think that they were better than Luke, just that and argument for them being top 10 could be made.

I think he is in because the has not dropped off at all so far with his career.  Has been the best mlb since is first snap at the position and has just gotten better.  Everyone knows it too.

Oh I agree 100% that he is the best MLB in the league.  Just wondering if being the best MLB in the league is good enough to get him in the top 10.  The players always seem to go with offense in these countdowns.

So two weeks ago they said there were 2 linebackers left,  last week they did one.  They only have one line backer left and we all know that's luke.  Tonight if he's not on the show we know for sure he's top 10. Too bad I'm sure no more panthers will be on the list except Luke,   so far it's only Olsen and Cam in the top 100.

Don't get me wrong I love Luke as much as the next man ...it just AMAZES me how Thomas Davis gets the habitual snub in everything involving top players.

He has to atleast be the in top 2 (if not 1) at 4-3 OLB. Man of the Year is fantastic and Family Feud is cool but I can promise you he pays attention to these lists, pro bowls, etc... he has said as much. 

Didnt mean to derail this thread ... I have no doubt Luke is top 10. Calling it now "9". But uhhhh .... Maybe a top 50 underrated show should be on the upcoming schedule. In which case Davis should be Top 10. 

Congrats for Luke ... smh for Davis.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
