Just thought I'd survey the board. Here's my list.

1. Suh --- Dominant, productive even with double-teams and durable.
2. Landry --- Heart and soul of offense. Durable. Must curb dumb penalties.
3. Wake --- Play slipped a bit IMO, but still had 10 1/2 sacks.
4. Jones --- I went back and forth between Wake and Jones, but Wake made more big plays.
5. Tannehill -- Slightly above average qb in my book.
6. Stills --- Now that was a good trade. High character as well.
7. Howard --- Looks like an elite corner down the stretch.
8. Drake -- Pretty complete back with share of big plays.
9. Alonso --- I know some won't list him.
10. James -- I think he may have been the teams' best offensive lineman.

Just Missed:
Pouncey
Tunsil
Godchaux
Tankersley
Lippett

Thoughts?
 
Landry
Tannehill
Wake
Suh
Howard
Pouncey when healthy
Stills
Jones

at this point its hard to pick 2 more so I'll just go with Tunsil based on upside and Tankersly
 
Top 10 ouch.
Suh
Jones
Landry
Tanny
Drake
Wake
Stills
Howard
Phillips
James
That was not easy
 
I'd have to go with:

Suh
Howard
Jones
Phillips (!)
Wake
Tannehill
Drake (!)
Stills
Landry
Parkey


I'm sure I would change my mind on several of these if you asked me later, but I think that's a pretty reasonable grouping.
 
1. Suh
2. Tannehill
3. Landry
4. Pouncey
5. Jones
6. Howard
7. Stills
8. Wake
9. Drake
10. Phillips

We need to see Harris, Tunsil, Mcmillan and Parker be definitives on this list next year. Wouldn't hurt if Alonso/Branch make an attempt either.
 
Don't feel like listing 4 solid players and 6 scrubs.

The JACKSONVILE JAGUARS have more talent than this team and it isn't even close.

If that doesn't piss you off or make you upset then I don't know what will.

I'd bet my life savings that over the next 10yrs this organization will make the playoffs 2x tops, probably won't even win a playoff game and we will have a roster full of scrubs.

How can a team pick at the top of the first round for a decade and literally not have one, literally not one single player on the roster that is an all pro. I'll tell you how, THE MIAMI DOLPHINS that's how.

Here is how that stat works by the way, explained by pro-football-reference themselves...

"I'd rather admit ignorance than pretend to know. So where that leaves me is with defensive players being treated somewhat similarly to offensive linemen. That is, while stats will figure into it to some extent, a defensive player's rating will be largely based on how many games he played, how many games he started, how good his team was defensively, and whether he garnered any all-pro or pro bowl honors."

So yeah...

I know nobody wants to admit that kickers are football players who impact football games, but Cody Parkey belongs on all of these lists. He was outstanding this season.
 
Although he played only a few games....no one added TJ McDonald.

Yea I went more positional with my list so I left him out. He obviously was one of the 10 best Dolphins in 2017.

Honestly? That's because I thought that -- on the whole -- our defense played better ball with Nate Allen and Reshad Jones than with Reshad Jones and TJ McDonald.
