Extra DLine and LBs depending on Scheme, same with extra WRs.

Offense:
Lynch had more carries, yards, and TDs. He has better escapability, is faster, and more physical than Maroney. That is why I consider him better.

Both Lee Evans and Coles are better WRs than Welker. They are each legitimate #1 WRs, Welker has never had to do it alone. Coles support includes Becht and Jerricho Cotchery. Evans gets help from Robert Royal, Josh Reed, and Peerless Price. Welker has Randy freaking Moss and the best TE in the division.
Welker does not face double teams regularly, and when he does it is against an OLB and Safety. Both Coles and Evans, without exception, drew the other teams #1 CB.
Secondly, Who is the QB on each of our lists?

Peters and Mangold deserve to be apart of this team, not the whole of NEs Line.

Defense:
Schobel, Robertson, Crowell, Harris, Allen, and Whitner all had significantly better seasons than your counterparts.

Poz is a better talent and more useful (every down) than Bruschi at this stage. Vrabel and Harrison do not play MLB and FS respectively.

NE is, right now, the best TEAM. However, they do not hoard all of the talent in the AFC East.

It is laughable to assume that Welker is more talented or skilled than either Coles or Evans. Welker is a wonderful support to any offense and clearly had the better season in 2007 and may very well have the better season in 2008, but the facts remain that Evans and Coles are capable of being the focal point of a passing attack with their route running, ability to stretch the field, and pure athleticism.

Welker is not in the same class of talent.

When picking Schobel I picked him over Seymour, not Taylor (who is also on MY list). Seymour had 23 tackles and 1.5 sacks to Schobels 57 and 6.5.

Will Allen is not as good as Terrence. I thought I could squeeze that one in there in order to not seem like a Homer, as well as spread the wealth between the 4 teams.

My list tops yours in these areas:
Welker is not as talented as either Coles or Evans.
The entire OL for NE is not the cream of the crop.
Schobel > Seymour
Robertson > Wilfork
Lynch > Maroney
Poz > Bruschi
Crowell > Barton
Whitner (statistically) > Rhodes
and
You misalligned Harrison and Vrabel.
Plus the best punt returner is overwhelmingly Parrish.

Good TD though.
