I'm not sure I agree with either list. I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I think Brady and Ware belong somewhere on those lists.

Based on stats for the first two games of the season, Odom and Peterson appear to be better on paper. But with a doubt, I would have to go with Willis as the best D-Player in the league right now. This guy is a pro bowler who has made an impact since his first day in the league. Willis will constantly be great, but can you say the same about Odom and Peterson?

I believe Willis is gonna be a STRONG candidate for defensive player of the year.
I remember many folks here saying that they wanted the 49ers to after Peterson , awhile back.

If we're talking about best defensive players in the NFL right NOW.....
My list would be (in no specific order)
Patrick Willis
Troy Polamalu
Shawne Merriman
Albert Haynesworth
Honorable Mentions.. since they're getting a little older.
Ray Lewis
Julius Peppers

Nnamdi Asomugha is probably the best player in the league relative to his position. The man is far and away the best cornerback in the league.
