Ranking all players on the roster prior to 2025 off season

Mims is too high, as well.  I mean, there's major issues all over this list, but a guy who should be around 20th at 8 is not as bad as a guy who should be 35th or so at 11.  Also, your question was who should Hilton be ranked above and Yoshi is literally the next player up the list, drawing immediate attention to him.

Your basis for this list was to list the players from best to worst.  Yoshi having potential and Hilton being on the decline has zero bearing on which is currently better.  

Ranking players is not an objective measure. If there's a player who is good at one thing, but getting worse at everything else, and another player is decent but getting better, there's no measure that would objectively measure one player above the other. I value potential and future ability. I look at Mims and Iosivas and see two players that, if they continue on their trajectory, could be core players on this team. I don't see Hilton as a core player on this team. Not at his age, declining ability, lack of versatility and status as a free agent.

Reading through my rankings again, I definitely see where some biases have snuck through. I think Newton being above Dax was an oversight that I should have corrected before posting. But I don't think keeping an aging, free agent nickel cornerback that is taken off the field on most passing plays outside of the top 10 is one of those oversights.

I do agree with you that Iosivas SHOULD be much lower.

It's just we lack the talent to push him to where he should be, which is in the 20 to 25 range.
