Patriots: Seymour is clearly a better player than Wilfork. Seymour has dominated on defense for the Pats for seasons. Seymour requires more attention than Wilfork does and because of that Wilfork seems better than he really is. Seymour is the focal point of the defensive ine and he is much better than Wilfork regardless of where they were taken.

Steelers: Roethlisberger has been inconsistent while Polamalu has exceled in nearly every single season he has played. Polamalu is extremely important to the Steelers defense. Just look at the game against the Pats where they threw it long so many times and if Polamalu was playing those plays might not have happened.

Colts: Freeney is crucial for most of the Colt's defensive success. He played great last year in the playoffs and that's when the defense seemed to suddenly get better. Wayne has been the #2 receiver every year until now. Every other season Wayne isn't even the most important receiver on his team.

Packers: You beat me here.

Seymour is more important to the Patriots than Wilfork. Polamalu is more important to the Steelers than Big Ben. And Freeney is more important every other season except this one to the Colts.

Okay, since you didn't argue I don't really have anything to say. Well, anyway, the players I chose are more important to their teams than the ones you chose except for the Packers. They have a huge impact on their team and are big reasons why they win games. Since they are so important to their teams, they are the better picks, regardless of when they were chosen.

"I like my picks since they all produce as much if not more for their teams, but cost less since most of them are later 1st rounders."

Although they cost less, they do not produce as much. Seymour produces more than Wilfork when they are healthy, Polamalu clearly produces more and has had a bigger impact when he plays over Big Ben, and Freeney is very important to his team and constantly gets the sacks while every year, except this one, Wayne receiver ON HIS TEAM..
