#3 - Roquan Smith
Roquan Smith is one of the best inside linebackers in the NFL. His dynamic skillset and elite versatility make him a uniquely special player in the middle of any defense. Receiving the 84th ranking this year seems quite low for the elite linebacker.

Smith has been selected as a second-team All-Pro in each of the last two seasons while eclipsing 100 total tackles during every year of his career so far. In just four seasons, he's also chipped in with five interceptions, 14 sacks, and 17 defended passes.
#4 - Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in the entire NFL. He's been selected for the Pro Bowl in nine of his 10 seasons in the league so far. He's accumulated more than 37,000 career passing yards and has thrown nearly 300 touchdown passes. He's appeared in two Super Bowls and came away with a victory in one of them.
Wilson enters the 2022-23 NFL season at just 32 years of age, so he is still in the prime of his athletic career, especially as a quarterback. He somehow ranks just 61st in this year's version of the NFL top 100, despite consistently proving his elite talents. Kyler Murray is currently ranked higher at 57th, which is hard to justify at this point in each of their careers.
#5 - Tyron Smith
Tyron Smith has been one of the most dominant offensive tackles in the league for nearly a decade. He's been selected to the Pro Bowl in eight of the last nine seasons, and the year he missed it, he only appeared in two games due to an injury.
Smith has barely cracked the top 100, coming in at 92nd in the rankings this year. His consistent dominance at his position probably deserves a better number than that.
