PFF Rankings after Week 4

[RiverDog]

This took quite a bit of time to put together, so if you guys like it, I'll keep posting it. If you think it worthwhile, please give me some feedback. If you think it garbage, then say so. All comments are welcome.

Below are the Seahawk players that had enough snaps to qualify for a ranking at each position along with the top ranked player after Week 4. The number in parenthesis is the number of players that got enough snaps to qualify for a ranking.

QB (38) Sam Darnold, #3. Top Ranked: Marcus Mariota, Commanders.
WR (115) JSN, #2. Cooper Kupp, #32. Tory Horton, #45. Top Ranked: Puca Nacua, Rams.
RB (55) Kenneth Walker, #4. Zach Charbonnet, #31. Top Ranked: Kam Skattebow, NYG.
TE (70) AJ Barner, #9. Eric Saubert, #36. Elijah Arroyo, #39. Top Ranked: Jackson Hawes, Bills.
Center (35) Jalen Sundell, #27. Top Ranked: Aaron Brewer, Fins.
Guard (77) Grey Zabel, #31. Anthony Bradford, #59. Top Ranked: Ed Ingram, Texans.
Tackle (73) Charles Cross, #11. Abe Lucas, #29. Top Ranked: Pennei Sewell, Lions.

CB (103) Derion Kendrick, #1. Devon Witherspoon, #15. Josh Jobe, #52. Tariq Woolen, #100. Top Ranked: Derion Kendrick, Hawks.
Safety (79) Ty Okada, #25. Julian Love, #41. Top Ranked: Xavier Woods, Titans.
LB(74) Ernest Jones, #18. Tyrice Knight, #35. Drake Thomas, #57. Top Ranked: Fred Warner, Niners.
DT (119) Leonard Williams, #15. Byron Murphy, #34. Jarron Reed, #45. Top Ranked: Maliek Collins, Browns.
DE (116) Boye Mafe, #39. Uchenna Nwosu, #45. Derick Hall, #49. DeMarcus Lawrence, #55. Top Ranked: Micah Parsons, Packers.

Those are very good rankings for our players. On defense, of the 16 Seahawks that qualified for a ranking, all but two were ranked in the top half of those that met the minimum snaps, and you guessed it: CB Tariq Woolen, #100 out of 103 ranked was the lowest graded Seahawk on our team. LB Drake Thomas was also ranked in the bottom 50%. (To be fair, Safety Julian Love was #41 out of 79 ranked safeties, but I figured it was close enough for government work).

On offense, we had 14 players that qualified for a ranking, and all but three ranked in the top 50%: Center Jalen Sundell, RB Zach Charbonnet, and OG Anthony Bradford. Four players on offense, QB Darnold, WR JSN, TE AJ Barner and RB K9 were ranked in the top 10. OT Charles Cross just missed at #11.

And as before, if you have a specific question about a player, on the Hawks or otherwise, please don't hesitate to post a comment and I'll look it up.

Is that cumulative weeks 1-4 or just week 4?

 

[BobbyWagnerIsGod]

Good job Riverdog! Looking forward to more.

Trying to figure out how we can get a bag of chips AND a beer out of our 100th ranked CB of 103. Ooooof… Outstanding overall from a roster perspective though. Thanks for putting together.

It's a cumulative ranking through Week 4.

I'm glad that some of you guys are checking it out. It does take a little bit of time to prepare it.

This is bad ass R-Dog!

Thank you for putting this together and sharing it.

3 DTs in top 45.
2 RBs in top 31.

Stop the run.
Run the ball.

...seems like someone is doing what they said they were going to do...

One thing about the rankings that is a little deceiving is that they have Marcus Mariota as the #1 ranked QB even though he's only played in two games and has 115 offensive plays under his belt vs. Darnold's 222 and Dak's 283 offensive plays. That's one of the weaknesses of PFF's ranking system.

It's not deceiving because anyone with common sense knows that Mariota is A BACKUP filling in for Daniels until he comes back.

Sam is a STARTING QB and therefore is the #1 ranked STARTING QB in those rankings.


TLDR : Sam is #1. PERIOD.

The rankings don't discriminate between starter and backup, nor do they take into consideration a QB's past history. They are purely objective ratings based on the grades given by the evaluators.

But your point is well taken. The rankings have to be put in perspective. No one in their right mind is going to claim that Mariota is a top 10 QB let alone the #1. But it does say that he must have had a couple of pretty good games, or at least that's what I took away from the rankings.
