Ranking all players on the roster prior to 2025 off season

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.

The premise for your list wasn't who will be better in a couple years.  It was who's better.  Right now, that's Hilton.  Yoshi has had a few flashes, but tons of guys never come close to their potential.  

He is lower.  I mean seriously, you have a guy who was 6th in the league in net yards/punt as the 32nd best player on the roster... How are you in the Top 20% of guys in the league at your position and not even Top 30 on your own team?  I mean, you literally have Chuck Fizzle ahead of Jenkins...
