is fair, assuming we're talking a general list of positional importance. However, there's a lot of other factors that go into it, including scheme and where you have other talent on the team. For example, while you may have a position like OLB or SS low, if you have a great player at that position (think Collins), it lessons the need at positions around them (FS/MLB). And certain schemes put more value on a NT (3-4), or a TE (Saints with Graham), which may be lower in general but can shine in certain schemes. Era also matters -modern passing game values DE/OT and CB/WR highly, but 80s era had high value on RB, DT, LB etc when more run oriented. Even DT, you have to consider a pass rusher vs a run stuffer like Snacks - and again, have a truly great player can change the value.
It's hard to argue with QB at the top. After that, it's probably best to think of it as tiers or groups than a true rank. DE/Edge and OT tend to be after QB, with WR and CB very close in modern NFL. In the modern game, I'd probably say most teams like to have at least one S (FS or SS), TE, OG, MLB and DT in the next tier - but again depends on scheme/talent etc. Then I'd say RB/OLB/FB/OC, 2nd S or DT in 4-3. I'd say that general ranking holds fairly well for the way the giants are set up, other teams certainly put more weight on LB, TE, RB than we have recently.
I assume you mean in importance of need.
