00:00let me just tell you something i got like seven versions right now of a top five
00:06i had a couple early and i've crossed those out i've talked myself into and out of about six or
00:14seven different players it's it's an impossible process that we're doing right now this is much
00:19harder than it was last year much harder because last year when we did our best five nfc east
00:26players like saquon barkley was a given right yeah it made it much easier dexter lawrence and jaylen
00:34carter were givens malik neighbors i think i mean i know it was a stretch for some
00:40and jayden was certainly had to be in the conversation
00:46there are no less than 15 players that could be in this top five so this is really subjective
00:55and you know part of it for me is taking like the importance of the position because i'm going to
01:01tell you right now i i think dax good like i think he's a really good quarterback a really good
01:10quarterback but i didn't have him anywhere near my top five and i wouldn't have had him anywhere near
01:16jayden daniels last year and if jayden daniels actually plays football which he didn't do last
01:22year i expect him to be the best quarterback in the division i do dac to be the second best
01:30quarterback in the division followed by jaylen hurts and then i think jackson darts way down the list
01:39so
01:41i still have jayden in my top five and that's going to upset people
01:48so here you go are you ready i'm just gonna this is this is subject to change
01:56god so many i i mean the offensive linemen that you could go with in your top five
02:03i mean lane johnson laramie tunsel andrew thomas tyler smith you know i looked this up
02:11when we were putting this thing together earlier uh in in the morning um tyler smith was ranked the
02:17number one guard in the nfl by on that espn top 10 list number one guard in the nfl i
02:25knew he was good
02:26and i considered dallas's offensive line like philly's offensive line to be good
02:30i had forgotten that tyler smith was the number one guard
02:35in the nfl but i'm not putting him in my top five here we go you ready
02:42this is also what i think is going to happen in 2026 in terms of the performances of these players
02:50number five on my list is quinyon mitchell i think you can easily make the case he is the best
02:57corner
02:57in the division right now hands down the best corner in the division do you have a debate with
03:05anybody else i don't think so uh of the corners ranked in that espn top 10 list he was the
03:11only
03:11one oh no you you reminded me cooper de jean was 10 right yeah cooper de jean was 10 quinyon
03:18mitchell's
03:19number five for me number four yes there's a bit of homer in this but i also expect that by
03:28the end
03:29of the season it's going to be like man are you sure he's four he might be three or two
03:34in the division
03:37jayden daniels is number four for me sorry last year was an injury year it wasn't a regression year
03:44he didn't play football he played four games start to finish
03:50jayden daniels number four i'm sorry but i still think in terms of the actual overall defensive
03:58upside in terms of what this player can be he got paid obviously the eagles still believe in him
04:06and some eagles fans will tell you jordan davis was more reliable no defensive player in the
04:13division can dominate a game the way jayden carter can he's number three on my list
04:23number two on my list and this may be a reach and you're going to say are you kidding me
04:29you've got
04:29him on the list before cd lamb you've got him on the list before pickens terry yeah because he
04:40was reportedly looking really good health wise last week i had him in my top five last year
04:49because i saw the next truly elite superstar wide receiver in the league and i think we're going to
04:59see that in his third season health is everything with this player coming off a serious injury last
05:05year but malik neighbors if he is healthy he might end up being the best player in the division hands
05:12down now the quarterback is going to have to deliver but even with the the bad quarterbacking
05:19that they had with russell wilson and others in his rookie year he was dominant dominant coming off that
05:27injury season he was still the first player i think on that honorable mention on the receiver list
05:35malik neighbors is an insane talent insane as a rookie with who were the quarterbacks that year
05:44in new york russell wilson was it tommy devito who else quarterback for the giants that year
05:50jamis winston he had 109 catches in 15 games
05:58for 1204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie
06:05malik neighbors is number one is number two excuse me and then number one and i'm gonna regret doing
06:13this i i i can feel it coming already but he was your number one he was a lot of
06:20people's number ones
06:21last year and look his season last year i think the whole philadelphia season was just a little bit
06:29derailed by some of the issues they had clearly with aj brown and others um but i could see a
06:37massive
06:37bounce back season in a sean manion offense which we'll have with that offensive line in front of
06:45them nice stretch zone outside inside zone runs saquon barkley's number one on my list
06:54of nfc east players i'm looking at my other lists on some of my other top fives fives i don't
07:01have
07:01three of the top five three of my top five even in it it's never changing on mitchell at five
07:07jaden
07:08daniels at four jalen carter at three malik neighbors at two and saquon barkley at one
07:14again it is right now and what i think it will be in 2026
07:21the player that i'm most confident about if he's healthy on this list is neighbors
07:26even with the quarterbacking he's just he's different
07:34go ahead give me your top five so the thing on neighbors i'm worried about
07:37his knee so he didn't make i know it's just the videos last week they said he looked really really
07:44sharp i'll believe them until i won't but okay my number five um we're gonna start with a couple
07:53offensive linemen because i i feel like they they deserve a little bit more credit um tyler
07:58smith is gonna be my five um one of the best interior uh offensive linemen in the past couple
08:04years i mean espn and gms and all that had him ranked above quentin nelson which to me means a
08:10lot
08:10because i like quentin nelson in his game quite a bit so he's gonna be my five number four jordan
08:16my lotta i think he's the best left tackle in the division sorry laramie tunsel yeah i i my lotta
08:22lane johnson getting older and tunsel those are the three best tackles in the division and i i
08:28struggled with that because on one of my lists i have i have two tackles and a guard on one
08:33of my
08:33list i have smith my lotta and tunsel all in my top five and then i took him out of
08:39my last top five
08:40because i just went with yeah all right i can't argue my lot is great really good number three um
08:48this
08:48guy had a little bit of a he didn't even have i don't think he had the best receiving season
08:52on
08:53his own team uh this past year but i think he's gonna have a big one this year uh it
08:57is not george
08:58pickens it is cd lamb he will be my three now i there were a couple times where um did
09:04he really
09:04want to win the game or was he tired of it and just kind of running routes out there and
09:09doing cardio
09:09but i i think that this year is going to be a big year for cd number two is going
09:14to be saquon
09:14barkley so we all see where my number one player is going well it's a quarterback i just don't know
09:21if you're going to say dac or jaden daniels i will not be saying dakota rain prescott as my number
09:26one
09:27uh quarterback in the division especially with brian west sitting across the table from me because i
09:31won't hear the end of it until something bad happens during the season but jaden daniels is my
09:36number one player in the nfc east i think this is going to be a big bounce back year for
09:40him i think this
09:41is him cementing like no first year wasn't a fluke this is the real deal i'm here i just need
09:47to stay
09:47healthy and i'm gonna ball out so give me jade number one wow i'm just looking through a lot of
09:56guys we left off kev i'm just trying to see did we other than okay we had barkley and jaden
10:01daniels
10:02as shared top five players i mean you could legitimately just do a top five and not be
10:09crazy i think that people listening to this are going to be like the one you're you're high on
10:16jaden daniels right now being a top five player and how can't you have cd lamb as a top five
10:23player
10:23in the division and ahead of malik neighbors i think malik neighbors has elite level i'm talking about
10:31jamar chase justin jefferson level talent and if he's healthy and the knees fine i went back and
10:40pulled up the list of quarterbacks okay in 2024 here are the quarterbacks that malik neighbors caught 109
10:48passes from in his rookie season by the way he only played in 15 games he missed two games and
10:54still had
10:55109 catches daniel jones drew lock tommy devito tim boyle uh packed a game how could we forget how
11:05did i how was russell wilson what what year was russell wilson a starter it was last year it was
11:10last year because he was the my fault the starter in pittsburgh that's correct that year
11:16all right uh you've got tyler smith jordan my lotta cd lamb barkley jaden um that's five to one
11:27so one to five jaden's one barkley two lamb three my lot of four tyler smith five my one was
11:33barkley
11:34two neighbors three jalen carter four jaden daniels and five quinion mitchell mitchell's the best corner
11:41in the division that's not really debatable right no it's i i think that is a stone cold fact right
11:46now yeah okay your calls 301 230 0980 301 230 0980 i want your top five years in the nfc
12:00east we've given
12:00you now ample time to work on it if you only have three that's fine i'll take your top three
12:06um it's
12:08hard it's a really hard list to put together there i would say the biggest pushback my list is
12:15going to get is how do you not have cd lamb as one of the best five players in the
12:20division
12:21can i just mention that for whatever reason i've just never been a massive cd lamb fan
12:27i've always thought he's really good kind of the way i feel about terry to a certain extent now cd
12:32lamb
12:33is more explosive he's got better separation ability route running ability a better probably
12:38a better deep threat but man he drops some big balls in games over the years
12:44you
