Interesting, I thought so as well. I understand that the main reason PB and AP are used for defensive players (and offensive linemen) is that there just aren’t many other objective ways to rate them.

But part of the point of AV is to be able to compare players across positions. It seems like if a defensive player is going to get a huge bump for an AP nod, that the offensive player should get something as well. Admittedly, I haven’t given this 1% as much consideration as Doug did when he created the metric.

I was absolutely positive PB and AP were factored in. Maybe they should?

Regardless, thanks for looking into it guys!
