This is tough to do in my opinion and am interested if there are some offensive metrics. It's hard IMO to tell the value of different positions (best offensive lineman, LB, DL etc)

Let's see if we can kinda agree on a top 5 list (once many have put in their input)....or is this just a top 4 QB's + Watt?

Mine:

1. Tom Brady
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. J.J Watt
4. Antonio Brown
5. Rob Gronkowski

The problem I have with putting JJ Watt on this type of list is that while he undoubtedly impacts the game quite significantly, his impact is different than the other four. Other than maybe Andrew Luck, I'm not sure who'd I replace him with, though.

Watt and Rodgers are definitely 1-2 for me if we're talking "best" and not "most valuable".

Tom Brady has to be #1. Simply the best QB in the league.
Watt
Rodgers

Idk about Brown over Calvin Johnson and I'm not being a homer here. Rodgers is easily number one however followed up by Watt. Justin Houston should be in the top 5 too

OMG of course I knew he was trying to be funny you idiots...that's what makes my post so hilarious, the way I flipped it on him. You slapdicks really need to take a course in comedic writing to grasp the basic set ups, spins, closers etc etc. I'm so far more intelligent than all of you its almost embarrassing the way I have to explain it to you.

That is a 100% homer comment, lol. Antonio Brown is for sure above Calvin Johnson right now. Brown has been unguardable for the last 2 years. I'd say Julio Jones is definitely above him as well.

Yes, you're a homer.

Check the numbers since opening day last year. Brown is in his prime. Calvin is on his way down. Right now, 100/100 take Brown.

Also Calvin drops way too many passes to be mentioned in the same breath as Brown now. 100% homer comment from Classy. "And I'm not being a homer here..."

LOL

Add to this. Durability, is an underrated skill in the NFL.

Calvin Johnson
Julio Jones
A.J. Green

Probably the 3 most gifted WR's in-terms of athleticism, size and speed in the NFL. All 3 of them have been injured numerous times. None of these guys have played a full season since 2012.

It might be luck for Brown, but give me the guy who produces and who is always playing.

Classy's fantasy draft probably looked a lot like...

Calvin 1st round
Tate 2nd round
Abdullah 3rd round
Stafford 4th round
Bell 5th round

Probably blew his wad on Prater in the 8th, Detroit defense in the 9th and saved his TE for round 12 where he snagged Ebron.

I think the bigger impact is a lack of running game for Detroit. When Bush had his great year three years ago Johnson had 1500 yards in 14 games
