Fun. I like your list. Mine is probably only a little different. Availability plays into my list quite a bit.

10) Tress - gang shit no lame shit

9) Jahan Dotson - could have been higher if not for the injury in the middle of the season, love how well he runs routes at this stage of his career. Give him a line that can protect the QB and he'll put up numbers.

8) Darrick Forrest - big plays. Thought he was exposed a little when Curl wasn't in the game but what a development to find a player in Forrest.

7) Brian Robinson - offense revolved around him when he was healthy. That's why Gibson didn't make my top 10. Loved that he didn't fumble, but the Commanders built an identity around Robinson and looked lost when they didn't have him.

6) Kendall Fuller - two pick six's, a few out of position goofball plays too (Cleveland, Amari Cooper, ugh). But that's two consecutive very strong seasons in a row. A good CB impacts the game quite a bit.

5) Kam Curl - see Robinson. When he played, defense looked great. When he didn't, defense didn't. Availability was probably the only reason I couldn't put him higher.

4) Daron Payne - sack numbers were great and he played all year. But the pressure he applied wasn't as consistent as Sweat or Allen. I'd franchise him and try to avoid overpaying on a long term deal. I don't think he gets pressure consistently enough to get 11.5 sacks again, I think that will end up being his career high. Before you kill me I have him 4th so clearly I like him. Had great TFL numbers and deflected that pass on the GL against Atlanta. Left hand up.

3) Montez - kind of the opposite of Payne above. I thought he flushed the QB and caused more errant throws on plays he didn't finish. He was in the QB's face or on his back more consistently. I haven't looked at pressure numbers but I feel like he and Allen were more consistent in being disruptive than Payne was.

2) Terry McLaurin - best player on the offense. When we needed a play he made the play, multiple times. Almost 1200 yards. Pro Bowl.

1) Jon Allen - I felt like this was an all-pro worthy season, and if he doesn't get it it's only because Chris Jones and Dexter Lawrence had amazing years too. Consistently in the backfield, would get knicked with a groin or a knee and come back in the game, and not just come back in, he'd play well. Forced two fumbles. Best player on the defense. Pro Bowl. If you give me a choice between our two non special teams pro bowl guys, McLaurin and Allen, I have to give the nod to the guy who plays on the better unit. The leader of a playoff caliber defense, that says something.
