Over the course of 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 Mike Gerber Jersey 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 North.Quarterback NYJ QB #8 This one is no contest. Even during Rodgers' comparatively poor 2015 season (he set career lows in completion percentage, yards per attempt, and pa ser rating), he still had a pretty good case that he was the best pa ser in the division. Quarterback COMP % TD % INT % YPA RTG QBR Aaron Rodgers 60.7 5.4 1.4 7.1 92.7 64.9 Matthew Stafford 67.2 5.4 2.2 7.2 97.0 62.6 Jay Cutler 64.4 4.3 2.3 7.6 92.3 60.7 Teddy Bridgewater 65.3 3.1 2.0 7.2 88.7 62.7 The same is almost certain to hold true in 2016, when he gets No. 1 target Jordy Nelson back from a torn ACL. We should see the same old Rodgers next season, and when Rodgers is Rodgers, he is the best there is.Running Back SEA RB #21 Twice in his NFL career, Adrian Peterson has been away from football for an extended period of time. First, it was due to a torn ACL. Second, it was due to allegations of child abuse. Each time, he returned the following season and led the NFL in rushing yards. At age 30, AP ran for 1,485 yards Andrew McCutchen Jersey and 11 touchdowns, making both the Pro Bowl and All-Pro first team. Sure, running backs are supposed to fall off with age, but Peterson has proven multiple times that he is not like most running backs. He should be back with a strong season in 2016, especially considering the improvements the Vikings made along the offensive line. LV RB #35 Eddie Lacy didn't have the strongest 2015 season and even having dropped a bunch of weight with the help of P90X is not the safest pick in the world for this team. That's why we're going with Riddick instead. He's shown over the last two seasons that he is a top-notch receiving option out of the backfield, and led all running backs with 80 catches in 2015. He has been not the recipient of all that many carries (career-high 43 last season), but that number figures to go up in his fourth season with Reggie Bush no longer in town and his role in the pa sing game should increase as well with both Bush and Calvin Johnson gone.Wide Receiver LV WR #82 Nelson is 31 and coming off an ACL year, but in his last four healthy seasons has averaged 75 catches for 1,210 yards and 11 touchdowns. If he's on the field, he's likely to put up big numbers so long as Aaron Rodgers is out there with him. TEN WR #15 Tate has taken his game to new height since arriving in Detroit. He averaged 41-459-4 in four seasons with the Seahawks, rather pedestrian numbers. Detroit Tate has been a 94-1,072-5 man. That's, you know... a lot better. And now Orlando Cepeda Jersey he'll be the clear No. 1 pa sing game option because, again, Calvin Johnson will be watching football at home this fall. Tate has acted as the de facto top guy for Matthew Stafford a few times over the last two seasons while Johnson sat out with injury, but his target share should increase even more now that it's a permanent situation. PHI WR #17 When Jeffery was on the field in 2015, he was an absolute monster. In nine games, he had 54 catches for 807 yards and four scores. That's a 16-game pace of 96-1,435-8. Considering his previous two seasons were 89-1,421-7 and 85-1,133-10, it seems safe to say that when Jeffery is on the field, he's a good bet to rack up huge gains and find the end zone on a consistent basis. The (po sible/probable) presence of Kevin White could eat into his target share some, but it should also help draw some attention away from his side of the field, something that will surely be needed with Martellus Bennett now plying his trade in New England. Tight End We might as well have picked these names out of a hat. No more Marty B in Chicago takes away a surefire team member. Nobody trusts any of Jared Cook, Richard Rodgers, Eric Ebron, or Brandon Pettigrew. TB TE #8 And so we land on Rudolph, who despite the best tight end in the NFL, actually has a career high of 53 catches and has never averaged more than 39.1 receiving yards per game. He's a very inspiring pick, we know. CHI TE #71 Miller is a shot in the dark, but you could do worse than picking a guy that totaled 29 catches for 381 yards and four scores over his final seven games in 2015. It's not like there are other super-appealing options here. Offensive LinemenDavid Bakhtiari, Packers; Josh Sitton, Packers; T.J. Lang, Packers; Corey Linsley, Packers; Kyle Long, Bears We're fudging positions Madison Bumgarner Jersey a bit here, sliding Long onto the team at tackle even though he's going to move back inside to guard again this year. He played right tackle in 2015 and wasn't as good there as he was at right guard during his first two seasons, but managed to make the Pro Bowl anyway. Back at his natural position, he should have another excellent season clearing road for the backs behind him and stopping defensive tackles on their way to Jay Cutler. Taking the Packers' interior trio here was easy. Lang and Sitton are among the handful of best guards in the league; they're superstar maulers in the run game and ace pa s-protectors. Sitton's 30 and Lang will turn 29 a couple weeks into the 2016 season, but offensive linemen have shown the ability stick at a high level through their mid-to-late 30's. There are no worries here about them next season. Linsley is a solid player in his own right, if not quite the equal of his guards, but the main reason he's here and John Sullivan isn't is that we don't how what Sullivan will look like a year removed from microfracture surgery. The final spot came down to Shaun Anderson Jersey the two Packers tackles, Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga. Bakhtiari is younger and had the better season in 2015, especially after his return from an injury-related absence, so he got the nod. Defensive End MIN DE #97 There were people that questioned the Vikings when they gave Griffen a five-year, $42 million deal before the 2014 season, and all he's done since is take his per-snap productivity and keep it up in a starting role. Griffen picked up 17.5 sacks from 2011 through 2013 while playing south of 60 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps in each season. In 2014 and 2015, he notched 22.5 combined sacks while playing between 80 and 90 percent o
