DrDawkinstein Posted June 23 Posted June 23 (edited) https://www.nfl.com/news/top-100-players-of-2026-nos-100-91 100. Cam Jordan, DE, Saints 99. Quenton Nelson, OG, Colts 98. Bryce Young, QB, Panthers 97. Ernest Jones, LB, Seahawks 96. Travis Entienne, RB, Jaguars 95. Demario Davis, OLB, Jets 94. Creed Humphrey, C, Chiefs 93. Carson Schwesinger, LB, Browns 92. Azeez Al-Shaair, LB, Texans 91. Montez Sweat, DE, Bears 90. Derrick Brown, DT, Panthers 89. Kyren Williams, RB, Rams 88. Jack Campbell, LB, Lions 87. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers 86. Tuli Tuipulotu, LB, Chargers 85. Brock Purdy, QB, 49ers Bryce Young?!? If I were Nelson or Jordan, I'd be a little PO'ed. Update 7/1: In addition to Bryce Young, seems the Panthers are getting a lot of love with McMillan making the list at 87. Purdy coming in at 85 is getting a lot of chatter. He definitely belongs above Bryce Young, but do either really belong? Update 9/1: https://www.nfl.com/news/top-100-players-of-2026-nos-10-1 #3 Bijan Robinson. Still no Josh or Myles Garrett so playing out like we thought. Great to see our boy get the respect. Edited Friday at 06:09 PM by DrDawkinstein 1 1 Quote
PetermansRedemption Posted June 23 Posted June 23 If Bryce Young is making this list in the 98 spot, then around 25 other QBs should be on it. 2 2 1 Quote
Kirby Jackson Posted July 1 Posted July 1 O/u 3 Bills? I think that’s the exact number but I’d think under is more likely than over. Josh and Cook are locks. Dawkins feels close to a lock but if we are to 84 already there’s a slight chance he isn’t. I don’t think another guy is there. 1 3 1 Quote

Spencer Brown could make it, but probably not on the numbers game. Dawkins came in at #42 last year, so still plenty of time for him to show up. 1 Quote

Josh Cook Dawkins Dawkins was in the top 50 and just as good last year He's literally been a consistent top left tackle in the world for years He is gonna be well ahead of 75 2 Quote

MJS Posted July 1 Posted July 1 The methodology for this is just really bad. Players fill out their top 20. They just vote for their buddies and big names.

He was a lot worse. But he'll still make it. Quote

Dawkins was not just as good last year. He was a lot worse. But he'll still make it. Dion on advanced metrics had the highest win pass blocking rate out of every single tackle in the NFL People have been saying he's been regressing for years.. he was a stud last year I we watch every game three or four times and focus on the line He was very good pass blocking and the advanced metrics gave him the highest win rate for pass blocking in the NFL His run blocking on tape and in the advanced metrics took a little dive not his pass blocking Even the sack in the playoffs that Josh fumbled with was not his fault it was a miss chip rom our wide receiver He was so good last year that the jaguars avoided rushing over him in the playoffs.. the majority of the time when they had Josh Allen over Dion he stunted over the guard to avoid him.. Our tackles as a whole had that rough game against Houston who has two world class pass rushers.. and our blocking scheme for the game was suspect.. our tackles were let out to dry.. the coaches needed a better game plan for that Edited July 1 by Buffalo716 2 1 1 Quote

That's a lot of avoiding Yeah, the great demise of dion dawkins seems to primarily live in only a small subset of Bills Fans. 1 1 1 Quote

He plays big and he's already got great size Like he's just a little smaller than Shorter but on the field you'd swear he's a foot taller, uses his body really well for a rookie Quote

At the very least, he was heavily penalized, which hurt the team. I'm not down on him like other fans, though. The year before, he was elite. It was the best I've ever seen him. I think he can get back to that. Edited July 2 by MJS 1 Quote
SCBills Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Spencer Brown is a Top 100 player but won’t get the recognition until we make a Super Bowl. Quote
machine gun kelly Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) Dawk, thanks as I’d never look this up. It’s a players only popularity contest. It’s like the pro bowl as well. I have a great deal of respect for the All Pro selections, rookie of the year, MVP, and so on. These are true honors, like when Josh won the MVP, it meant something. Cook having the 2025 rushing title meant something. I do appreciate though the thread. I’m sure you’ll probably send in the updates each week. I’ll scan for a few seconds each week.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) This list has long spoken to the greatness of Josh. The Bills have like 1 or 2 other guys on the list, ranked below 80, and win 13 games. No, it wasn’t the coach. Great QBs win regardless of other factors. The Bills rosters have been deep but players 2-5 or 10 have been near the bottom of the league. That’s especially true since he had prime Diggs. Edited July 2 by Kirby Jackson 1 Quote
