NFL Top 100 Players of 2013: Recap, predicting the order of the top ten, and ten players who got snubbed.

The NFL Network's annual countdown of the top 100 player's in the league today (voted by the players only) is nearing the end. We crack the top ten players on the list Thursday night. Here is a recap of the list thus far: (Italic is my prediction)

100-91: Dennis Pitta, Trent Williams, Maurice Jones-Drew, Heath Miller, Dashon Goldson, Max Unger, Daryl Washington, Anquan Boldin, Gerald McCoy, Troy Polamalu.
90-81: Percy Harvin, Cameron Wake, Jacoby Jones, Bernard Pollard, London Fletcher, Charles Woodson, Steve Smith, Lance Briggs, Logan Mankins, Colin Kaepernick.
80-71: Dwight Freeney, Luke Kuechly, Joe Staley, Aaron Hernandez, Matthew Stafford, Brandon Flowers, Robert Mathis, Antonio Gates, Mario Williams, Trent Richardson.
70-61: Chad Greenway, Tim Jennings, Demaryius Thomas, Darrelle Revis, Earl Thomas, Dwayne Bow, Alfred Morris, Stephen Tulloch, Chris Johnson, Ben Roethlisberger.
60-51: Jared Allen, Derrick Johnson, Victor Cruz, Doug Martin, Terrell Suggs, Jason Pierre-Paul, Julius Peppers, Champ Bailey, Vincent Jackson, Russell Wilson.
50-41: Richard Sherman, Justin Houston, Duane Brown, Tony Gonzalez, Cam Newton, LeSean McCoy, Wes Welker, Eli Manning, Haloti Ngata, Jason Witten.
40-31: Ndamukong Suh, Roddy White, Vernon Davis, NaVorro Bowman, Geno Atkins, Dez Bryant, Charles Tillman, Patrick Peterson, Frank Gore, Clay Matthews.
30-21: Vince Wilfork, Justin Smith, Joe Thomas, Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, Andrew Luck, Larry Fitzgerald, Reggie Wayne.
20-11: Jamaal Charles, Joe Flacco, Ed Reed, Matt Ryan, A.J. Green, Robert Griffin III, Andre Johnson, Ray Rice, DeMarcus Ware, Drew Brees.
10-1: Arian Foster, Aldon Smith, Patrick Willis, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Von Miller, Calvin Johnson, Peyton Manning, J.J. Watt, Adrian Peterson.

With lists like these comes plenty of controversy and debate. Naturally, there are going to be players left off the list who deserve to be on it, a.k.a players who got "snubbed." Here's my top ten players who got snubbed:
1. Jairus Byrd- Safety
2. Jerod Mayo- Linebacker
3. Jimmy Graham- Tight End
4. Kyle Williams- Defensive Tackle
5. Marshal Yanda- Guard
6. Antonio Cromartie- Cornerback
7. Randall Cobb- Wide Receiver
8. John Sullivan- Center
9. Jerome Felton- Fullback
10. Andy Lee- Punter

I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not kidding about the punter.
