26CornerBlitz Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 @SI_PeterKing Good morning. MMQB is up. A redesigned site, and, at long last, @themmqb's All-Time NFL Draft is here. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/07/17/all-time-nfl-draft-peter-king-monday-morning-qb We assembled an all-star panel of 12 football experts for an intriguing—and wildly fun—experiment: an All-Time Draft, drawing from the pool of every player in pro football history. How do you build a team? How would today’s players stack up against the giants of the past? Who goes No. 1? The results are fascinating. Interesting results among these NFL "experts".
oldmanfan Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very interesting stuff. Fouts did a terrible job I thought. Ray Guy as his first pick?
LeGOATski Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very interesting stuff. Fouts did a terrible job I thought. Ray Guy as his first pick? And then he chose a lot of former teammates... 😆
dhg Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very interesting stuff. Fouts did a terrible job I thought. Ray Guy as his first pick? AND 4th overall too! Uh, what?
oldmanfan Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Was great to see Billy Shaw get picked. No Thurman or Jimbo however. Biscuit and Bruce on the D, Joe D, Billy S, OJ, and Cookie on the offensive side. And Tasker as a wild card. Might have missed someone but those just off memory.

Bill from NYC Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very interesting stuff. Fouts did a terrible job I thought. Ray Guy as his first pick?Marv Levy would have done that too unless he took a corner.
oldmanfan Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Marv. Reed. Pat Williams. Thanks. Knew I'd forget some.

Too many all-time great QBs and RBs for either to be selected.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Jim Kelly went undrafted? Nice to see Marv drafted ahead of BB CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 Jim Kelly went undrafted? Nice to see Marv drafted ahead of BB CBF One of them wanted to draft him as an LB, but he said no.
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Marv Levy would have done that too unless he took a corner. Marv did draft a HOF RB who helped win one SB and would have won another if his team gave him the ball. And Fouts should be immediately fired.
Saxum Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Bills list: PLAYER O.J. Simpson Bruce Smith Joe DeLamielleure Steve Tasker Cornelius Bennett Billy Shaw Cookie Gilchrist Terrell Owens Andre Reed Pat Williams James Lofton Marv Levy
Kirby Jackson Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Too many all-time great QBs and RBs for either to be selected. I could have seen Thurman on there as they took 2 RBs. You can argue that he's top 20-24 (whatever the number was) all-time.

We put together an All-Time Undrafted team, coached by George Halas. http://trib.al/6gQD3f5 Wild Card: Thurman Thomas | 1988–1999 One of the bigger omissions in The MMQB’s All-Time Draft, Thomas was the tremendously versatile backfield weapon for the Jim Kelly-led Buffalo teams that won four straight AFC championships. He led the NFL in total yards from scrimmage every year from 1989 to 1992 and had eight straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Thomas also averaged 55 receptions a year from 1989 to ’94 and led the NFL in rushing attempts in 1993, with 355. A two-time All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler and the NFL MVP in 1991, Thomas was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.
The Jokeman Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Bills list: PLAYER O.J. Simpson Bruce Smith Joe DeLamielleure Steve Tasker Cornelius Bennett Billy Shaw Cookie Gilchrist Terrell Owens Andre Reed Pat Williams James Lofton Marv Levy Ironies of ironies is that Bill Polian only selected one Buffalo Bill in Marv Levy but he was actually a co-HC as he was also allowed to draft Tony Dungy! Jim Kelly went undrafted? Nice to see Marv drafted ahead of BB CBF Do you think he was an all time top 12 QB? I don't. Edited July 19, 2017 by The Jokeman

Do you think he was an all time top 12 QB? I don't. Yup, Kelly wasn't close to a top 12 qb. His playoff stats are pretty awful. He is a very good qb who played on one of the most talented teams in NFL history. We were absolutely loaded.
