DT comes in at 3 for me, and as much as I dislike TG, he would have to come in at 4.
While I would agree that Charles was the mote talented RB, if you include impact, Holmes does belong on this list ahead of him.

Agree 100% on Bell. Dude simply was ahead of his time. I'm convinced that if he played in the sack era, he would be that reference LB and not Lawrence Taylor.
He and Buchanan don't get the love they deserve. I've watched that stitched together copy of Super Bowl 1 numerous times, and Buck was practically unstoppable in that game. He was killing it. And when you hear Hog Hannah talk about him, he was a monster. Those two guys are my 1 and 2 with Lanier at 3. That defense, with those 3 guys, and 2 more (possibly a 3rd) HOFers on it was an all time great team.
