Of the 32 players on this list, 20 are first-round picks. The latest player chosen was in the sixth round, while one was taken in a past supplemental draft...

Nice to see the Williams' on the list.
We need to do our role getting Phat Pat to his first pro bowl this year.

Did this post bubble up from last summer by accident?

The Big Man went to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement back in January.

nice

i was hoping both of the Williams brothers would be on the list

I was certain they would not have been there But the Williams Wall. Believe in their run stopping ability. I was just a little disappointed no Winfield one of the hardest hitting corners right now dont make the list............... BOGUS

Glad to see Pat getting some recognition, he is a stand up guy and a monster in the middle!!!

Good for Pat, he's one of my favorite current players in the NFL right now.

Cool The williams Wall is there after all

How fierce will our defense be next year? I'm going to stretch her but I think we'll be a top 3 defense behind maybe Baltimore and someone else who stands up like San Diego. We had a Top 10 Defense last year and now we get the much needed pass rush with E. James. Udeze had 0 sacks so James will be our much needed DE. But any weakness we might still have remaining with the pass rush will be overcome by our Williams Wall. For our DBs we still go the most underrated DB in the league with Winfeild. Then we got Cedric Griffin coming back from an injury. Plus we acquired Mike Doss. The the obvious with the best free safety, D-Sharp. Darren Sharper. Then our linebacker corp will be even more amazing with Chad Greenway coming back after an injury to make them greatness. I just wish we still had Tomlin. I'm definately liking our chances of being like the Bears this year. Spectacular defense with a feared running game that over shadow our quarterback situation. Im just hoping those factors really do over shadow our qb situation. And dare I say it. Possibility.

Super Bowl XLII New England Patriots vs. Minnesota Vikings.
(I'd hate that. Brady throws Moss the game winning TD and he moons us. God that would hurt. And I mean really, really hurt.)

I've been waiting to say this on the right thread but it never came up. I think this will sufice.

hahaha. He's not on the list. Read the link or just look above. Well I thought he should have been. Best D-line against the run because of those two.

29.) Pat Williams, DT[/b], Minnesota Vikings - In 10 mostly standout seasons, Williams, oddly enough, has never made a Pro Bowl. Along with Kevin Williams, though, who's ranked 16th on this list, Pat has guided the Vikings' ground defense to incredible heights over the last two years.

hes on there idk what your talkin about
