Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I've been having some major problems with this site, and I see there have been lots of picks so it may just be. Has anybody else been noticing this problem? Elway & Unitas were my top two QBs so getting them at the end of the first round is amazing. Munoz is also a fantastic pick in the second round. He's the Jerry Rice of offensive linemen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Elway was who I meant by the QB I'd probably have taken #1 if I was drafting. ... for the zero of you who cared to have that mystery solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Well, piss on you then. I'm goin' defense again. This time with a guy who doesn't seem to get mentioned in the "All-time immortal defensive players" discussion.

The Bills' player record before that was apparently, 52. Four straight AFC championships in 19 season. That's four successful lifetimes on the defensive line. Plus, he can flush Montana right into Lambert. Yessssssss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I'm trying to decide whether to draft the "best" team or a team that if I were building a squad, these would be the players I'd target. I'll probably lean towards the latter but it should provide entertainment for my next 2 picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I'm trying to decide whether to draft the "best" team or a team that if I were building a squad, these would be the players I'd target.

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Bruce Matthews. 14 time pro bowler, 12 time all pro. A ninth round pick, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 First Lott, then Smith... I'm finding it tougher to stick to my philosophy when my top two defensive choices were taken and there's still one offensive guy on the board I really want, but I have to stay disciplined here. Derrick Thomas - OLB 9x Pro Bowl 3x All pro 90's all decade team 89 defensive RotY Got 7 sacks in a game once I didn't get quite as much QB pressure as I would get with Smith, but DT was still a hell of a pass rush threat and good against the run as well. There's a lot of sacks, tackles, and forced fumbles to be had with Thomas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Well Agent took my next pick. Fuck! Although, I'm not surprised. Well, I got an amazing leader on offense, now I need a leader on defense- DB Rod Woodson Career Highlights and Awards * 11x Pro Bowl selection (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002) * 9x All-Pro selection (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2002) * NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team * NFL 1990s All-Decade Team * 1993 NFL Defensive Player of the Year * 1993 UPI AFL-AFC Player of the Year NFL Records * 1,483 career interception yards * 12 interceptions returned for touchdowns I was shocked- SHOCKED, I tell ya- to see guys like Derrick Thomas and even Ronnie Lott get selected before arguably one of the best defensive leaders ever. Thank for letting me have him, guys! Guy was on some of the most amazing defenses ever, from the late 80's-90's Steelers to the greatest single season defensive team ever in the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. Having him on defense instantly upgrades and makes every player there better. Fast, and a tough hitter- he knocked Warren Moon out of a game with a concussion on a cornerback blitz. I'm disappointed I couldn't get some of the guys on the defensive line I was looking at, like Joe Greene or Bruce Smith, but I didn't expect them to last very long anyways.

Broward83 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Receptions 589 Receiving Yards 8,974 Touchdowns 76 ...Biletnikoff's career total of 589 receptions is relatively unimpressive by today's standards, but it was a remarkable considering he would regularly smoke two packs of cigarettes per day. Also, this achievement is even more remarkable considering the more run-oriented offenses in the 60s and 70s, when the regular season was only 14 games long. The same can be said of his record of 10 straight seasons with 40 or more receptions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Ray Nitschke is not a very hard pick at this point. Can't let him pass any further, seeing as he was namedropped. Ah hell, I would've picked him anyway, namedrop or not. Rod Woodson is a pretty damn good selection. I would've taken him before Thomas or Lott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
