With all that said, Watt gets my vote because he's the best player relative to his position in the league by far. He did as much as humanly possible to make his team. The gap between him and the second best defensive player is enormous. I don't get too fixated on the meaning of "valuable" word or else it has to be a quarterback every year. Watt's the best player in the league. His achievement this year is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in football, and so he gets the nod.
