Who are the 10 best players in the NFL today?
That's a text we sent to 12 longtime NFL scouts, coaches and general managers as the NFL season nears its midpoint.
That question alone is tough to answer. You almost need context to define what "best" means. Are the best players those with the most talent or the players dominating statistically? To be one of the 10 best players, do you have to have both talent and production?
Ultimately, that was up to the 12 men responding. What does best mean to them and who ranks in the top 10 players right now?
Here are the results.

5. Patrick Mahomes
Scout's Take: "Mahomes has to be on your list. He's going to be league MVP."
Only seven starts into his NFL career, Mahomes is on this list as one of the best players in the league. And it's important to remember this isn't about who has had the best career. It's looking at the best players of the present.
Mahomes is one of them.
Through the Chiefs' 5-1 start, Mahomes has thrown for 18 touchdowns and just four interceptions while generating the kind of buzz throughout the league rarely seen after a handful of starts. Mahomes is not only one of the league's most productive players right now, but he's also one of its most marketable. He has the talent and success to quickly become one of the faces of the NFL.
