If I'm Ballard I would try and trade Ryan Kelly, and should get nothing less than a 2nd round pick for him. Pinter can handle the OC duties, and Kelly didn't play the greatest in 2021. Great person though and praying for his family.

Praying for him but run him out of town as he tries to get through each day one day at a time.   That’s what he needs now.  Right after he buries his child.  We need to replace you.   We can get a pick for you.  It’s business. You understand.  That’s the kind of message we want to send to our team and players.  Really.  I would be shocked and disappointed if they did that to him and family.

I'm surprised Defo didn't make second team.

He didn’t exactly have a standout season.

Donald, Simmons, Jones, Heyward were definitely all better than him this year

 

He did play hurt though

 

Clark, Williams, Cox, and Vea are all up there too

Pro bowl is fan voting. 
Example Kenny Moore gave up 88 catches this year and made the pro bowl

Kenny Moore was one of the best slot corners in the league this year

It was absolutely deserved

Nelson missed to many games still got 2nd team impressive.

He was top 5. The Raiders game killed his passer rating

My thoughts on the All Pro guys....

 

Darius Leonard and Quenton Nelson - deserve All Universe awards in how both played hurt and persevered this year.  Leonard talking about how he knew he was slower and had to focus on technique and turnovers. Q playing obviously gimpy for a long time yet yielding only one sack all year, and doing so while helping out LT a lot. 

 

Jonathan Taylor - a no brainer, and true stud. I think he could do much better even next year if he had a more robust play caller and better LT. 

 

Luke Rhodes - hard to get excited about a LS, but gotta give him props lol. Better to have a great specialist than not. 

 

Dulin - STs stud, and I think he's developed on O even though IMO we could have done a far better job trying to develop him. He's the kind of WR/guy I could see going to another team and being more successful in a different scheme that let's him do more in space instead of possession routes. Not saying he'd be an elite WR, just substantially more productive. 

 

Matthew Adams and EJ Speed both STs studs - I think Adams is at his ceiling from a D perspective, but I think EJ has some untapped potential. Only reps will help, so his chances are probably not that great unless some injury happens to DL or Oke.

 

DeForest Buckner - I feel sorry for Defo. He's a great talent trapped in a soggy and stale pass rush scheme. Move the dude around, give him some blitz support, and allow him to be the guy we know he is.

You're wrong. Pro Bowl voting is fans,players and coaches voting.

I tend to think Kenny is a bit overrated. He makes some spectacular plays, but he also gets beat fairly often.  I like him, but I think he's more of a fan favorite than a great football player.
