My favorite teams
Thought this article was interesting. QB is always going to be no.1 on the importance scale, the rest are dependent on systems, like MLB listed as the 5th most important position on defense. They do a good job overall though.

15) Right guard
The utilization of "slide" protection requires teams to place a solid pass blocker at right guard. This scheme routinely pushes the center to the left to help the left guard, leaving the right guard to face a talented defensive tackle in a one-on-one matchup. In the run game, right guards must be able to move defensive tackles and cut off linebackers on the second level.
