Over the next eight days, we will be unveiling our All-Division teams here at CBSSports.com. What does that entail? We're picking a quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, two tight ends, five offensive linemen, two defensive ends, two defensive tackles, four linebackers, three cornerbacks and two safeties from each division that we believe will have the best 2016 season. Over the last few weeks, we've narrowed down the final roster, and we'll present them in this space. We'll continue today with the NFC West. Quarterback: , If the quarterback position were only about throwing, we might have in this spot. It's arguable that Palmer did the best job of throwing the football of any player in the league last season. He finished the year leading the in yards per attempt and QBR, while he also ranked fourth in pa sing yards, third in pa ser rating, and second in pa sing touchdowns. Wilson was right behind him in the pa sing categories, though. On the strength of a monster second half, Ru sell finished third in completion percentage, fourth in yards per attempt, sixth in touchdowns, fourth in QBR, and first in pa ser rating. From Week 10 on, Wilson completed 71 percent of his pa ses for 8.8 yards per attempt while throwing 24 touchdowns and only one interception as the Seahawks went 6-1. And none of that even mentions Wilson's ground exploits, which are Roberto Alomar Jersey among the best in the NFL for a quarterback as well. Wilson has run for at least 500 yards in three of his four NFL seasons, and in the other season he ran for 489. Only , Michael Vick, and Randall Cunningham have more 500-plus yard rushing seasons at the position. Among quarterbacks with at least 2,000 career rushing yards, Wilson has the highest yards per attempt average and the third-highest (behind Vick and Newton) yards per game average. Seattle's offense puts him in position to succeed with both his arm and his legs, and he takes advantage about as often as a quarterback po sibly can. Running Backs: , ; , Todd Gurley burst onto the scene last season and almost immediately became one of the best running backs in the NFL. He started off slowly, playing only 14 snaps in his first NFL action upon returning from an ACL tear suffered in college. He carried the ball six times for nine yards.In his next five contests, Gurley blitzed through defenses for 655 yards and four touchdowns on 112 carries (5.9 per carry). He topped 100 rushing yards in the first four of those five games, totaling 89 in the final one. Gurley slowed down a bit over the second half of the season as defenses devoted nine and even 10 men to the box because they knew the Rams couldn't throw the ball, but he finished the year with 1,106 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 12 starts. He did that behind a below-average offensive Chris Davis Jersey line, with horrifying quarterback play, and largely in games where the Rams were behind. With improvements all over, he should be free to run even more wild this season. Johnson, like Gurley, busted out with a string of huge performances. His just came later in the year, once injuries had knocked out and . After only 17.7 percent of the Cardinals' carries through 12 weeks, Johnson toted it 90.1 percent of the time in 's final five games. He took his 90 carries for 442 yards and four scores, tacking on 17 catches Jim Palmer Jersey for 216 yards and a touchdown for good measure. And that was all after he'd proved himself an explosive playmaker over the first half of the season, scoring once every 7.7 offensive touches and averaging 27.3 yards per kick return.Johnson's expected to be the primary back for Arizona this season, and he should run over, around, and through NFL defenses on the way to a monster year. Wide Receivers: , Cardinals; , Cardinals; , Seahawks Fitzgerald may or may not be human. He just racked up 109 catches for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns ... at age 32. That's one of just nine seasons since the AFL/NFL merger where a receiver age 32 or older recorded at least 100 catches and 1,200 receiving yards. Most of the other names on the list are, like Fitz, no-doubt Hall of Fame types: Jerry Rice, Reggie Wayne, (plus Ed McCaffrey and ).Fitzgerald isn't quite the downfield receiver he was in his prime, but he is a slot monster and chain-mover extraordinaire these days. His size and blocking skill from the slot also help the Cardinals open up their offense, and of course, he is still incredible after the catch. Brown didn't have quite as big a breakout 2015 season as some people expected, but he still showed real strides in his second year in the NFL. His catch rate spiking from 47.1 percent to 64.4 percent led to a 17-catch increase despite actually seeing one fewer target than he did during his rookie campaign; his yards per catch crept up from 14.5 to 15.4; and he Renato Nunez Jersey scored two more touchdowns despite playing two fewer games. As NFL.com's Matt Harmon showed with his #ReceptionPerception project, Brown was also effective on every route in the tree. Wildly impre sive how succe sful John Brown is on downfield routes with how often he runs them Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) Hopefully healthier this season than he was last year, Brown should take on an even bigger role in the Arizona offense. Baldwin, meanwhile, broke out in a huge way over the second half of 2015. From Week 9 on, he had 47 catches for 724 yards and 12 touchdowns. As mentioned multiple times on CBSSports.com, that full-season pace of 94-1,448-24 has never been reached in NFL history.While the touchdown spike is what brought major attention his way, though, the truth is that Baldwin has been one of the better snap-by-snap receivers in the league for a while. Football Outsiders pegged him as its No. 2, No. 34, and No. 1 receiver by DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, which adjusts performance for down, distance, and opponent) the last three seasons. When Seattle moved to its shorter, quicker pa sing attack over the second half of last season, it simply allowed Baldwin (and , a tough cut from this team) more opportunity to make plays. That should continue in 2016. Tight Ends: , Seahawks; , The NFC West has a ma sively uninspiring tight end crop. The Rams have Corey Harkey and , either of whom puts any fear in defenses. The Cardinals have , but he can't be counted on to actually be on the field. The 49ers have Vance McDonald, whose career-best season last year saw him catch 30 pa ses for 326 yards and three scores; that's not Caleb Joseph Jersey exactly the stuff of legend, but it's good enough here. Graham, despite his rocky stint with the Seahawks last season, is the clear cla s of the group. When healthy, he is as terrifying a force at tight end as anyone not named Gronkowski, and on some days he's arguably Gronk's equal (at least as a receiver). His "down" 2015 worked out to a full-season pace of 70-880-3, numbers that have been hit by only 26 non-Graham tight ends since the merger
