My top 50 NFL players

Here is my list of the top 50 players in the NFL. This list is based on who I would want for this coming season and only this coming season. Since running back has proved to be a fungible position, there is a noticeable lack of running backs high on the list. There are quite a few quarterbacks, however, one of whom is Michael Vick, who is quietly coming off a career season. He also has animal cruelty charges pending against him, but there is such a paucity of quality NFL QBs that I'd still want him on my team at some point.
