Ranking all players on the roster prior to 2025 off season

That's my feeling as well. I think Hilton has been great, and I think he had periods of greatness this year, but I also think he is likely not in the long term plans of this team because he is getting older and has already shown a significant decline in one of his major duties.

Beyond that, he has the third worst Catch % on the team, only better than Irwin and Burton to go with 5 drops on 61 targets.  He doesn't block well and is a non factor between the 20's.  

He is an extremely hard sell when you're claiming he's just outside the ten best players on the roster.  And if he is, why bother resigning Tee?

Hilton, beyond his individual contribution, is one of the defensive leaders of the club and is a big part of helping the young CB's.  

The problem with PFF absolutism is that it lacks a ton of context. By your logic, Amarius Mims is a garbage can player because his overall rating is 57.8. Barely any better than Iosivas. I'm not sure why you aren't arguing about his placement in the top 8. Is it just because you like Mims but have a bone to pick with Iosivas? It may be true that Iosivas does not win as often as he should and that's why he doesn't get a ton of targets. It might also be true that he is just the 4th or 5th option on a team with a bunch of super star receivers. 

I think PFF is a great tool to use when evaluating players, but I don't think it's the only thing to look at. When I watch Iosivas, I see a young player who is growing in his role and abilities. He may not be a finished product, but he has potential and he will be on this team continuing to grow for the next 2 years, at a minimum. 

When I look at Hilton, I see an aging player who has had his role reduced over time and who is a free agent and may not even be on the team next year, not for budgetary reasons but simply because the team decided to move on from him. Re-signing him would not break the bank by any means, but we still may not because his usefulness is limited and versatility, beyond availability, is one of the most valuable abilities a player can have in the NFL.

I already said the fall off after Gesicki is precipitous, so me putting Iosivas at #11 is not me saying he's a star player who we need to increase the role of. It's me saying this roster has a severe lack of talent such that a role player whose main purpose right now is red zone targets is somehow the 11th best player on this roster. We need to have some actually good drafts to inject some talent into this roster such that Iosivas falls to ~20 to 25 where a player of his caliber belongs.
