[Rain Man]

Okay, let's see how my roster did in 2020. I had pro bowlers or all-pros at QB, HB, TE, OG, and FS, and my WR and DE positions were disasters. I think I would have fielded a reasonable playoff team, but I would have been victimized by a mediocre front seven and a lack of WRs.


QB
Russell Wilson (Seahawks)
Easton Stick
Jordan Ta'amu

Grade: A
Pro bowl starter who kept the backups on the bench all season.


RB
Alvin Kamara (Saints)
Justin Jackson (Chargers)
Rashaad Penny (Seahawks)
Damien Williams

Grade: A
Pro bowl starter with about 1,700 yards from scrimmage. Jackson was a good change of pace back. The other two guys were mostly hurt or out for Covid.

WR
Sammy Watkins
James Washington (Steelers)
Kelvin Harmon (Redskins)
Andy Isabella (Cardinals)
Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR (Browns)

Grade: F
My leading receiver had slightly more than 400 yards. That's unacceptable.

TE
Travis Kelce (Chiefs)
Ricky Seals-Jones

Grade: A
Pro bowl TE with not much depth behind him. But it's Travis Kelce, so it's a win.

OT
Mitchell Schwartz
Morgan Moses (Redskins)
Tyrell Crosby (Lions)

C+
Schwartz got hurt, but Moses is a rock at RT and Crosby got 11 starts. This was acceptable.

OG
Wyatt Teller (Browns)
Andrew Wylie
Keliechi Osemele
Michael Jordan
Lucas Niang, G/T (Chiefs)

Grade: B
Teller emerged as a second-team all-pro, so he solidified one spot. Wylie and Jordan were starters and Osemele played well until he got hurt. I actually was okay here.

C
Cody Whitehair (Bears )
Austin Reiter, OL

Grade: B+
Whitehair moved back to center and Reiter also started a lot. Good pair of centers here.

K
Harrison Butker

Grade: A
Butker!

P
Tommy Townsend

Grade: D
I don't think he replaced Colquitt the way I hoped.

LS
James Winchester

Grade: A
Best long snapper in the league.

FS
Tyrann Matthieu

Grade: A
No depth, but a pro bowl starter. I'll take it.

SS
Jordan Poyer (Bills)
Tedric Thompson

Grade: B
Poyer is a pretty good safety. This is not an area of weakness.

CB
Marcus Peters (Ravens)
Bashaud Breeland
Desmond King (Chargers)
Amik Robertson, CB (Raiders)
Antoniio Hamilton

Grade: B
Peters missed the pro bowl, but he and Breeland are strong starters with King in the slot.


OLB
Damien Wilson
AJ Klein (Bills)
Jaylon Ferguson
Zach Baun, LB (Saints)
Ben Niemann

Grade: C-
Wilson and Klein are reliable but not impact players. Ferguson and Baun have not stepped up to claim starter jobs.

ILB
Anthony Hitchens

Grade: C
Same as the OLBs. Serviceable but not a game changer.

DE
Ifeadi Odenigbo (Vikings)
Yetur Gross-Matos, DE (Panthers)
Alex Okafor
Taco Charlton
Anthony Nelson
Dorance Armstrong

Grade: D-
Pretty much a bunch of backups. Odenigbo got a starting job but didn't dominate. I need someone to step up here.

DT
Brandon Williams (Ravens)
Tershawn Wharton
Mike Pennel
Maurice Hurst
Andrew Billings (Bengals)
Star Lotulelei (Bills)

Grade: C-
Williams played well, but he's my only true starter. Wharton and Pennel played well, so I'm serviceable. It's kind of a win since Billings and Lotulelei both sat out due to covid.
