2 early to tell with a couple of the A listers (Bryant, Murray) - Would you agree?

Yes, you can make that point, and it is a legitimate one. Bryant has done well for the last two years, so not so sure it is too early anymore for him. Murray might be, since he really just had a crazy mid-season run that ended because of injury.

 

You're point would also include this year's draft picks that I included in the Giants' list that I put in the "1st/2nd round disappointments" category based on PFF grades. It is too early for them as well. Amukamara and Joseph may get better, so I would edit my statement and moved them off of this category.

 

Of course, there's quite a bit of subjectivity here.

 

EDIT: After checking out a list of stats for strong side linebackers for 3-4 defenses, I would boost Anthony Spencer into the "A-list" category.
