Seymour sneaks in as arguably the NFL’s best run-defending end.

Over Cole? Bullshit.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

Yea, that's bullshit.

No way Seymour is above Cole at this point in time. Katzowitz’s list looks solid to me. I wouldn’t put Cole above those top three, but I would rather have him than Tuck. (And I do, which is nice.)

I’d take Cole over Freeny and Jared Allen. Freeney gets hurt way too much and does not play the run at all. Allen benefits from having one or two great games and disappearing rest of the season.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
