Man, I tried to edit the list, but it's way too much work. So I'll give my general comments:
I think Justin Smith is too high based on this year. In fact, based on importance to the team, I'd put Gore at the very top! Crabtree is also ballin out and should be in the top 10. All of the linemen in the top 10 are good, but they should all be sent to the bottom of top 10 in my opinion. So my list would lookk like this:
1. Gore
2. Willis
3. Aldon Smith
4. Justin Smith
5. V. Davis
6, Goldson
7. Brooks
8.Bowman
9.Staley
10. Crabs - just edged A.Davis.
IMO, Brooks doesn't get nearly enough credit for his play.
Edit: The top 10 list was hard to make. There are a bunch of guys that I consider to be "equal." Willis clearly isn't have his best year, but I know he could excell if used correctly. I feel the same way about V.Davis. He's high quality at everything he does, but we just dont use him to attack a defense. He just has too much talent to rank him out of the top 5. And the only reason I dont have J.Smith higher is because I'm not sure if he's tapering off because of his age. He's playing great ball, but last year he was unstoppable.
