As part of ESPN's Blog Network-wide feature today on the Ultimate Building Blocks in their division, we're doing a two-part feature on ESPN Insider today and tomorrow looking at five players who could join those lists with a big 2009.
In the NFC, those five players are:
- Clifford Avril
- Miles Austin
- Sam Baker
- Jason Campbell
- Parys Haralson

Offensive line problems highlight the needs in the NFC North ... except in Chicago, which is kind of unsettling to think about.

Like the love for Austin. We haven't had a true deep threat in Dallas since Terry Glenn.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next NFC Franchise Building Blocks
Don't understand the love for M.Austin. Right now, he's nearly all-potential, and it seems like he's nearly a lock for next year Pro Bowl all around the web. As an Eagles fan, I have to say that I like D.Hixon's chances more than Austin's (In the "WR with 40 catches in career poised to have 80 next year" category).
Anyway, like the other picks. Carriker might have a shot to make the list next year too, I'm really curious to see what Spag can do with him.

Jason Campbell? Get ready for Chris in 5,4,3,2,1..
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next NFC Franchise Building Blocks
I like the Harylson pick. Calvin Pace had 8 sacks the year before he hit free agency and got a massive free agent contract. Harylson had eight sacks and got a tiny deal.
I also do greatly appreciate throwing some of the names out there so we can argue about them.

Can the NFC South get a better blogger than Pat Yasinkas? He picks ten players to help win the Super Bowl for the next three years. #1? Drew Brees. OK, I can see that. #4? Matt Ryan. Wait, you're taking two QBs in the top four?
Seriously, this guy drives me nuts.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next NFC Franchise Building Blocks
I can't agree with you more about Yasinskas. You also have to love his brief cop out for avoiding Abraham, even though he didn't pick a pass-rusher, and his "oh, what the heck" selection of Beason, Vilma, and Ruud.
