B/R NFL 1,000: Top 64 Outside Linebackers... Moving on Up!

I've been highly disappointed with the Bleacher Report NFL 1,000... not with the series of course, but rather with the placing of Redskins player. The only near decently rated player we seem to have is Trent Williams, who rated somewhere between #10 and #15 out of the league's left tackles. Perry Riley, who we see as an ILB starter going into this season, was the second to last worst starting ILB in the league (Although I take this with a grain of salt... I see the potential, he just needs to start imo). However, when I went through the Bleacher Report NFL 1,000: Top 64 Outside Linebackers, I was pleased to find that our starters ranked #21 and #9 respectively. Kerrigan being rated that highly his rookie season is a beautiful, beautiful thing and Orakpo being rated in the Top 10 in a year where I think he was less impressive than years previous, show me that when he peaks, it wouldn't be far fetched to be looking at either a Top 5 or Top 3 rating. HAIL!
