NFL.com article shows greatest need at RB, CB, and WR. — Did I miss us signing a pass rusher recently or is the author just wrong? Even if McDuffy does get traded to the Rams or another team, it seems hard to believe we need a CB more than a pass rusher. Thoughts?

The goal was to find which veteran players have had surprising jumps or fall offs in performance.
The largest risers:
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | 2022 Snaps | 2023 Snaps | 2024 Snaps | 2025 Snaps | 2022 Grade | 2023 Grade | 2024 Grade | 2025 Grade | 2022–2024 Avg Grade | Gr

Anti-Pro Bowl Roster if Decided by PFF Grade — I broke down what the Anti-Pro Bowl roster (worst players in each conference) should be by PFF grade up to this point in the season.
Instead of using "defensive end", "outside linebacker", & "inside linebacker", I am using EDGE (lines up on D-Line) and Linebacker (off-ball).
Grades are Through Week 16.
