Figured this would've been posted already. This is the top 100 voted on by the players only.

13 still seems low for such an important position, no?

The fact that he takes on #1 WR's and shuts them down one on one freeing up extra players to handle the rest of the field means his impact is vast.

If a group of Harvard analysts did the top 100 he would be hard to beat.

But this is voted on by the players. Not exactly rocket scientists. People that go on impressions and ESPN highlights. Unless they played him every week or had the time to review every NFL game, they wouldn't have a way to make an informed selection.

Yea I personally think he should be in the top 10. But I guess corners get kind of hated on a bit. The only players ranked ahead of him though are Russel Wilson, Stefon Diggs at 12 & 11...and here is the remaining players that will make up the top 10. Order yet to be revealed.

One might argue players would be a more informed decision than Harvard Analysts. Still, there is no real way to compare an offensive tackle and a cornerback. In the end, top CB and 13 overall is nothing to sneeze at. Plus - I don’t know how many votes each player gets - but I’m sure there is some hesitancy to pick 2 Rams so you know AD99 may be a factor in Ramsey’s ranking.

add to that that Jalen is the 3rd ranked defensive player in the league — seems pretty reasonable.

Jalen Ramsey's ranking is outstanding. It's hard to bump the 12 guys that are in front of him.

 

[Neil039]

Ramsey will likely take note of this ranking and change the minds of his fellow players when they rank the 2021 year.
@RamsOfCastamere great point!

That highlight video really makes the point and is fun to watch. What a great year he had.

I have to watch that tackle against the Giants (3:05 mark) at least a dozen times every time I see it. Probably one of the best effort plays I have ever seen for a CB. Physicality is my favorite trait of his.

My buddy who is a Steelers fan was ecstatic to see him get shipped out of the conference.

 

[dang]

Any Rams get slighted in peoples opinion?

 

[RamDino]

Although Brady is arguably the goat... not sure why he is on that top 10 list above.

I'm positive Brandon Staley was instrumental in building the leagues #1 defense.... but to be fair, with that arsenal at his disposal, Larry fuckin' Marmie would have a top 10 unit and Steve Spagnuolo would look like George Allen.

While there are some other badass mofos out there who are worthy of consideration.... but after watching him closely all last year, I've become personally convinced that Jalen Ramsey is the 2nd best Defensive player in the NFL.
The odds of having the leagues top 2 defenders just seems so unlikely and it feels like such a delusional, koolade-drunk thing to say that I believe most of us are reluctant to admit it.
There are 32 defenses in the NFL, each employing 11 starting positions and lets call it another +4 in key contributors in rotation or package subs. So that means every week there are roughly around 480 defensive players getting meaningful playing time. Almost half a thousand of the best defensive players in the world and #1 and #2 play on the same team?

Yea really glad they spoke about his tackling because its so good. At FSU he played a CB/S hybrid position and would rush the passer a lot too on blitzes. Hearing him and Talib talking on the broadcast about how Raheem Morris is going to use him, he seemed giddy! I bet we bring him down into the box more and allow him to blitz. He's such a dominant athlete he will impact the game in that role too. Dont like taking him out of coverage too often but I think it will be great to mix that in a bit.
