MFer 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I'm gonna add to my O-line with a true blue Michigan man. Dan Dierdorf 6x Pro Bowl selection (1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980) 6x All-Pro selection (1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980) NFL 1970s All-Decade Team 3x NFLPA NFC OL of the Year (1976, 1977, 1978 3-time Emmy nominee as a sportscaster Truly one of the great O-linemen to play the game, Dierdorf has the entire package, combining strength, quickness, intelligence, and attitude to be a great blocker. He played most of his career at RT, so it's nice to have a player in that spot that actually has great experience there as opposed to starting a career LT at RT. Dierdorf also played guard and center, so he's very versatile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Well, I finally fill that RB position. RB Billy Sims The Glory - 3x Pro Bowl - 1980 NFC Rookie of the Year The Stats - Averaged 120 total yards per game in his career - Averaged 85 yards rushing per game in his career - Career 4.51 YPC - Averaged 19 carries and 3 catches per game in his career - Career 11.14 YPC on 186 catches Had good size at 6'0", 212 lbs. and could probably hold up as a blocker for Steve Young if called upon. More importantly, he has big play ability as a receiver and could be split wide ala Reggie Bush at times as yet another receiving threat for my Run N' Shoot offense. Also would be a capable runner on draws. He'll be deadly in an offense that let guys like Gary Brown put up a 5.1 YPC. Barry Sanders played in the Run N' Shoot for most of his early career with Detroit. 'Nuff said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 After some debate, I'm going to go with a guy who had one of the strongest arms ever, led his team to 4 Super Bowl titles. He was a late bloomer, but from 75 on he was a HOF Quarterback. With Chuck Noll already on board, I might as well go with..

It is especially painful when he gets taken as an afterthought after they missed out on somebody else. I deliberately didn't mention Graham by name earlier, but him being the 15th QB taken is shameful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I was thinking about going with a TE after my last pick, and I was scared when I saw there was a mini-rush happening. Thankfully this guy still made it back to me. Tony Gonzalez - TE 9x Pro Bowl 8x All Pro Most Career TD's by a TE (66) Most Career Receptions by a TE (820) Actually led the NFL in receptions one year from the TE position Slam dunk for the all 2000's team With a lethal passer like Tom Brady at the QB position, I need as many receiving threats as I can get on the field. I find that WR is a pretty overrated position when you have a lethally accurate QB, as you just need some guys who can catch. However, having guys who can catch while still serving other purposes (running and play action threat of Allen, blocking from Gonzalez) are valuable assets to the offense. Tony will be testing the coverage skills of all these elite linebackers over the middle of the field, and will be a top-tier blocker at the line and downfield as well. He is the person I was thinking about when I said you could make an argument on being the greatest TE of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Ron Yary, T - 7x Pro Bowl - 8x All-Pro - 8x All-NFC - 3x NFC Lineman of the Year - 70's All Decade First Team Continuing to shore up my O-line to block for Harris, Yary is a huge pick up for my team. A very durable lineman (missed 2 games his entire career), he defined consistency and came up big when it mattered leading the Vikings to 4 Super Bowls. His combination of agility and quickness will nicely offset Upshaw's size. Ken Houston, S - 12x Pro Bowl - 3x All-Pro - 2nd All-Time in INT returns for TD - NFL 75th Anniversary Team member - 70's All Decade Team A shut down corner to add to my already potent secondary. His instincts were some of the best ever and his consistency is nearly unmatched at the position. A noted team player and hard worker, Houston could do everything from being a hitter to a shutdown player to a cover specialist. A steal at this point in my opinion.

He game himself to football to such an extent that there wasn't much left to carry over after he retired. The ten time all-pro ended up living out of his truck late in his life, and ended up suing the NFL for his disabilities. Before that, though, he was a monster. I'm taking the monster.

Houston is a nice pick, although I'm not sure it's a steal. I think there are still a lot of good safteys out there. And JTCE, I'm a little surprised that Gonzalez fell to me, especially after Sharpe went (my pick was a toss up between those two). I'm glad other people's infatuation with older players kept Tony on the board. I guess I could see Winslow going ahead of Tony, but I was surprised that Newsome went before him as well.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Sometimes we won't be able to score, and that's fine, but a great defensive should be accompanied by a great special teams. Field position is important, and there's one guy that has simply been unstoppable in the return game. I don't care what era he played in, or how many years he's played in the league, he's a special player. With my next pick I'm going to go with the greatest kick/punt returner in the history of the league..

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 WR Don Maynard The Glory - 4x Pro Bowl - 5x All Pro - AFL All-Time Team - 1967 AFL All-Star MVP - 1 SB Ring The Stats - 11,834 yards receiving & 88 TD - Averaged 64 yards receiving per game - Career 18.70 YPC - Led the NFL with 102.4 RYPG in 1967 and 99.8 RYPG in 1968 He was the go to receiver for Joe Namath and was known for improvising his routes. Also has solid size at 6'0" and 180 lbs. to go opposite Paul Warfield on the other side and was a big play threat as evidenced by his 18.7 YPC. My team is all about the big play on both sides of the ball and Don Maynard will be an absolute weapon with Steve Young at the helm.

MFer 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Going back to defense, I'm gonna grab another DE with a member of the Purple People Eaters. Carl Eller Pro Bowl (x6) (1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974) NFL 1970s All-Decade Team 1971 NEA NFL Defensive Player of the Year All-Pro 1968-1971, and 1973, 2nd Team All-Pro in 1967 and 1972 All-Conference 1968-73, 1975 2nd Team All-NFC 1974 Very quick and agile, but also tough and durable like other members of that great Viking defense (only missed 3 games in his career). Eller had 133.5 career sacks (unofficially of course) as well as 23 fumble recoveries, 9 blocked kicks, and 2 safeties. I was actually gonna pick him earlier, but I went with Dent. Having both Dent and Eller rushing the passer now should make life hell for opposing QB's. Also, I was looking at Ken Houston at safety, but he was taken a few picks beforehand.

Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Nogoodnick selects C- Mel Hein A consensus pick as the greatest center in football, Hein was the first player to have his famous No. 7 retired at Washington State University. An All-American pick following the 1930 season, Hein helped lead the Cougars to an undefeated record that year and into the 1931 Rose Bowl game against Alabama. From Pullman, it was on to the New York Football Giants, where he played for 15 years as a center and a defensive lineman. Hein was an All-NFL Center 1933-1940. He was inducted as a charter member into the National Football League Hall of Fame in Canton, OH, in the summer of 1963. Eight times an All-Pro center, Hein was the NFL's MVP in 1938 - as a center in his eighth year in the league. The Giants' great No. 7 was the center of two NFL Championship teams - in 1934 (NYG 30, Chicago 13) and again in 1938 (NYG 23, Green Bay 17). Hein was a member of five losing teams in the NFL Championship, too - 1933, 1935, 1939, 1941, and 1944. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just John 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Wasn't expecting to go offense again, but the way the picks have panned out, I feel this is the most efficient pick for my team. Going with a position that hasn't been touched yet... Larry Csonka - FB 5x Pro Bowl 2x All Pro 2x Super Bowl Champ Super Bowl 8 MVP (145 yds, 2 TDs) Comeback Player of the Year in 1979 Dolphins #39 Retired Pro Football HoF 1987 4.3 yd/carry career average With a lot of good linemen going, I figure that's no excuse to not have quality blockers at other positions. Most of Csonka's impressive stats concern his running ability, but the guy was a terrific blocker as well. Of course, having him as a dual running threat with Allen will give defenses a lot to think about, and it also pretty much eliminates the need for picking up a second running back. While he wasn't used as a receiver much, he was also sure-handed. He adds a lot to my offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Tough. Fast. Smart. It's time to bring my offense up to par with my defense. WR Andre Reed Career Stats Receptions 951 Receiving Yards 13,198 Touchdowns 87 Career Highlights and Awards * 7x Pro Bowl selection (1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994) * 1x All-Pro selection * 239 games played- 59th most in NFL history including kickers and punters. * Future HOFer I find Michael Irvin's entrance into the HOF over Reed something of a travesty. Reed was the receiving part of the Bills' famed trio in the 90's (along with Jim Kelly at QB, and Thurman Thomas at RB) and was known for his toughness, speed, and ability. Although he never had a truly outstanding season like a Moss, Carter, Rice, or Harrison, he ranks just behind all of them (switch out Moss for Tim Brown) in total career receptions for 5th all-time, which is a testament to his durability. I needed a bit more balance on my team, and had noticed to my dismay that I only had Faulk and Favre on offense, which is great but a speedster and reliable receiving threat like Reed is necessary to fight these all-amazing defenses many of us have built up here.
