PFF is the one with subjective rankings, not FO.

I guarantee you that not a single NFL team uses their individual rnkings. Maybe some of the objective stats, but their individual rankings are a joke.
In 2015 Dre Lirkpatrick playe 97% of the snaps for a top 5 pass defense. He ranked in the top 30 in every objective cover stats I could find (completion percentage allowed, yards per target, success rate) yet PFF had him ranked as the 112th CB behind a bunch of scrubs who barely played. Any team that has the 112th ranked CB playing 97% of the snaps is not going to have anything close to a top 5 pass defense.
