For the Vikings, it seems we always have good WRs and Centers. Yours?

The Vikings also have a rich history of DEs and DTs.

The QB position hasnt been good to the Vikings, in terms of developing players. Should be no surprise MN hasnt been to the superbowl since the 1970s, without that QB.

Generally O-line and Quarterbacks.

Not a great history with receivers and half-backs.

For the Falcons, we always seem to have a pro bowl caliber linebacker or 2.
Tommy Nobis (5x Pro Bowl selection, 2x All-Pro selection)
Greg Brezina (1x Pro Bowl selection)
Fulton Kuykendall
Buddy Curry (2x All-Pro selection)
Jessie Tuggle (5x Pro Bowl selection, 3x All-Pro selection)
Cornelius Bennett (5x Pro Bowl selection)
Keith Brooking (5x Pro Bowl selection, 2x All-Pro selection)
Curtis Lofton
Sean Weatherspoon

There isn't much else in Falcons history to be proud of until recently, but we have always had extremely talented linebackers.

CB is the first position that comes to mind for the Raiders.

Defensive Linemen for giants, in particular DE's. How many teams can say that they have back up DE's who have been all-pro or have all-pro talent.

Linebackers, DLine and WRs. Centers have been good too...outside of Mahan and Hartwig, we have only had 4 others since the 1970s...Webster, Dirt, Hartings and now Pouncey should be here for his career.

Bills:

Future Eagles LTs. Seriously though, if you're talking developing, it really is LT for the Bills. They took an UDFA Tight End in Jason Peters and turned him into a Pro Bowl LT.

Demetress Bell looked horrible when he first was put in at LT, but they developed him into a competent starter. Hairston was a 4th round rookie most had pegged for RT, but when he was forced to take over for Bell, the Bills got him up to speed quickly. By the the end of the 2011 season, he was looking about as good as Bell had earlier in the season.

Now I'm hoping they put their skills to work once again and make Cordy Glenn into something special.

In our short time, RB has been a quality position for us to develop. Dom Davis and Steve Slaton looked to be gamers until injury slowed them down, Arian Foster and Ben Tate are currently two of the better RBs on the team, and UDFA Davin Meggett and Jonathan Grimes are drawing rave reviews out of camp so far, and both look to be stand ins if something were to happen to Foster/Tate.

CB has been a strong position for the Raiders but it has mostly come from high round picks. As far as developing talent, i'd say DL. Lately, guys like Laroi Glover, Roderick Coleman, Grady Jackson, Tommy Kelly and Desmond Bryant have been late round picks/UDFAs who went on to have good NFL careers.

CBs, usually OL though that's fallen off as of late, DL.

Now if only we'd have some luck at WR and QB Laughing

Off the top of my head LB is the first thing that comes up.

We drafted pro bowl type linebackers in DeMeco Ryans, and Brian Cushing, and we also have future pro bowlers in Connor Barwin, and Brooks Reed. Not to mention we drafted players in the late rounds who ended up becoming OK for us like Zach Diles and Darryl Sharpton. We tend to do OK developing linebackers.
