The Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 bad link Sure is bad. But, if you copy the text (not "link location") and paste it into the address bar, it'll get you there.
The Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Fairly interesting, and like all "lists" makes for debates (which is why they do these "lists"). I'm thinking the #7 pick certainly isn't "lucky #7". The Winner: Phil Simms The Skinny: This may be the weakest spot in the top 10. Simms was a very good quarterback, and his performance in Super Bowl XXI was one of the best ever. But he's not even a Hall of Famer. Former Super Bowl MVP Chuck Howley was Simms' best competition at this slot.
The Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 On the other hand maybe #13 isn't so unlucky: The Winner: Franco Harris The Skinny: A huge battle at this spot between Franco, Chargers tight end Kellen Winslow and Cowboys defensive tackle Bob Lilly. Harris' four Super Bowl rings give him the edge, although Winslow and Lilly were both among the greatest players in NFL history. That's pretty strong.

DC Tom Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Seriously, WTF? Maybe - maybe - there was no one better picked there. But I find that hard to believe, frankly.
DC Tom Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Maybe - maybe - there was no one better picked there. But I find that hard to believe, frankly. ...or maybe not. Just went through all the first rounds since '82. Junior Seau and Jamal Lewis stand out as #5 picks. So do Mike Junkin and Rickey Dixon. I'd've picked Seau over Sanders. But it's hard to argue with Sanders over Rickey !@#$in' Dixon.

keepthefaith Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Meh... OJ was the best #1 ever, not Elway. OJ no longer relevant. Even in football terms. Sad but true.
Rico Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I might go with Mike Haynes, he went #5 in 1976, and IMO he was a better pure CB than Deion... not quite the gamebreaker though.
The Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 OJ no longer relevant. Even in football terms. Sad but true. I'd go with Peyton.
clownments22 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I'd go with Peyton. that's what i was thinking.
drnykterstein Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Ben Watson?? What? Man #32 pick must never produce any talent.
clownments22 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Time for a screenname change. i thought i might, but since the name is demeaning towards nate in the first place, i figured what was the difference?
