Over the past couple weeks, our team here at CBS Sports has been working its way Jesse Puljujarvi Jersey acro s the field, running through the list of the top 10 players at each position.First up, we had the offensive side of the ball.

Oh, and our resident kicking expert John Breech had of the as the league's best and of the as the top .Now that we've worked our way through the individuals, it's time for a wider focus on the league's best units. Today, we're giving out awards for the NFL's best offensive line, skill-position group, defensive front, and defensive backfield. Philadelphia was one of only two NFL teams to rank inside the top five in Pro Football Focus' grading for both run-blocking and pa s-blocking last season. The other was the division rival Dallas Cowboys, who jettisoned two of five starters and have age and injury i sues to deal with up front. The Eagles will return all five starters from last season and have also secured their eventual replacement for longtime center after drafting in the second round. This is a big, mean group -- , , , and Kelce -- that can really move opposing fronts in the run game, and also ranked Adam Larsson Jersey among the best pa s-protection units in the league. The philosophical shift in the team's offense midway through last season put a lot of pre sure on this unit to dominate, and it did just that while leading the Eagles to the playoffs. There shouldn't be much drop-off (if any) in 2022. Pick Six Newsletter Crafted By The Best NFL Experts Get the day's big stories + fun stuff you love like mock drafts, picks and power rankings.

The Raiders might have the most versatile group thanks to their owning perhaps the league's premier outside receiver, one of its best slot men, and an elite tight end. The Chargers have arguably the NFL's best pa s-catching running back outside of , and two premier wide receivers. The Broncos have three wideouts who are somewhere between good and very good, and a high-level running back duo. The Dolphins have one of the fastest skill groups in league history, and a ton of depth Ryan Smyth Jersey at each spot. The Niners have two otherworldly playmakers unlike anybody else at their respective positions. The Rams have and a bunch of fun complimentary players. The Vikings are top-heavy but electric. The Bucs might be the team to beat in this area when they're healthy... but they're not healthy at the moment. So, we're left with the Bengals. took the league by storm as a rookie, making the Pro Bowl, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and getting named a second-team All-Pro. was nearly as good as Chase last year. is a highly over-qualified third option in Boyd Gordon Jersey the pa sing game. has been consistently good since he entered the league, and even if his contributions in the pa sing game have been more muted in recent seasons, Cincy has gotten good work out of Semaje Perine and in those situations. Plus, the Bengals rebounded from losing by signing , who is more than capable of working the intermediate areas of the field while defenses are worried about everybody else.Want an elite edge rusher?

Well, let's roll out , newly signed , , and , along with coming off the edge opposite Watt. hasn't lived up to his promise but still has ton of athleticism at linebacker, and pairing him with gives Pittsburgh one of the freakiest linebacker duos in the league. There are arguments for other teams, of course, like quality edge depth (Bills), top-end talent (Chargers, Rams, Cowboys), versatility (Ravens), and the lack of clear weak points (49ers, Saints), but the Steelers still stand out. If I had Wayne Gretzky Jersey confidence in the Ravens' (or Bills') health, they would have gotten this spot. But with and each coming off a torn ACL and working back from a torn pectoral muscle, that tipped the scales over to Green Bay. The Packers have one of the league's true shutdown corners in . put together a fantastic rookie season, including playing at a high level while Alexander was out with an injury of his own last year. came off the street and blo somed into an outright star. And Green Bay has one of the league's best, most versatile, and most interchangeable safety duos with and patrolling the back end. While Green Bay doesn't have the depth some other units boast, the top-line talent here is too much to ignore.
