As a Packer fan, I have to rate Tony Canadeo ahead of Stenerud as #3 and Hornung ahead of Flacco at #5.

I am trying so hard to resist the urge to post my entire 1-99 I completed a few months ago.

BD Sullivan's partial list meshes pretty closely with mine. There's a few in the 70s I went a different way with. 74, 75, 77, 79.

I've got one guy ahead of Canadeo for 3.

As far as #75, I definitely considered Greene, but his 1975 neck injury ended up affecting him for the rest of his career. With Deacon, his sack numbers are always mysterious (outside of the compilers here), so he tends to get downgraded since he's not officially ranked--not to mention the fact that he played before the merger.

As far as the 40's and 50's:
40-Sayers (already mentioned)
41-Charlie Waters
42-Paul Warfield/Ronnie Lott
43-Troy Polamalu
44-Leroy Kelly
45-Kenny Easley
46-Todd Christensen
47-Blount (already mentioned)
48-Stephen Davis
49-Bobby Mitchell
50-Mike Singletary
51-Butkus (already mentioned)
52-Mike Webster/Ray Lewis
53-Mick Tinglehoff
54-Randy White
55-Junior Seau
56-Lawrence Taylor
57-Rickey Jackson
58-Jack Lambert
59-Jack Ham

Bronko Nagurski is #3.

I'll go with that. I forgot about him.

48-Stephen Davis

Is it wrong to elevate a FB over a RB, becasue I was thinking about Moose Johnston here. Then again, Davis was better than I remembered, going to three Pro Bowls and 1st team all-pro one year.

I say Hornung for #5 as well. Donovan McNabb also wore that number.

A shame John Mackey is boxed-out (by Alan Page) at #88.

90 Julius Peppers
89 Steve Smith
88 Marvin Harrison
87 Willie Davis
86 Buck Buchanan
85 Jack Youngblood
84 Randy Moss
83 Ted Hendricks
82 Jimmy Smith
81 Terrell Owens
