Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 Yes, it is. If my next pick had played 20 years ago, I would have taken one look at his career stats and just moved along, but having seen him play he is one of the most athletic receivers ever and one who can absolutely dominate games like only few can. He's had a lot of bad luck, bad injuries and bad QBs, but the talent is without a doubt there. WR Steve Smith * 3x Pro Bowl selection (2001, 2005, 2006) * 2x All-Pro selection (2001, 2005) * Co-NFL Comeback Player of the Year (2005) * Other NFL accomplishments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fökai 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 Darren Woodson made his name as a strong safety, so that opens up a slot for one of the "Hit Men"... Free Safety, Gary Fencik. Chicago Bears - Primary Defensive Captain Franchise Leader in Tackles and INT's (38) Eight 100-Tackle Seasons; tied for 2nd on Bears All-Time list in that regard with Urlacher -- both are behind Singletary 2 Pro Bowls ('80 and '81) 6 All-Pro Awards ('79, '80, '81, '82, '84 and '85) Originally drafted by the 'Fins, but he ruptured a lung (!) and was ready to retire until the hometown Bears gave him a contract.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 2, 2008 Broward's time is up, so I'm going to go ahead and make my pick. I actually took a quick look up and down the list and was shocked to see this guy hadn't been taken yet. Maybe not completely and utterly shocked, but I'm very glad I was able to nab him. This isn't the guy who I said I was definitely going to get; although I'm fairly sure I will be able to get that guy with my next pick, and I have someone else lined up behind him anyways. This guy is a legend, and his accolades practically more than speak for himself. And so, rounding out The Best Secondary of All-Time.. DB/QB/Punter "Slingin'" Sammy Baugh 6'2", 182 lbs. * 5x All-Star selection (1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942) * Pro Bowl selection (1951) * 9x All-Pro selection (1937, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1945, 1947, 1948) * NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team * NFL 1940s All-Decade Team * 1937 Cotton Bowl MVP * 70 Greatest Redskins * Redskins' Ring of Fame * Washington Redskins #33 retired * Pro Football Hall of Fame (only surviving charter member, 1963) # 50th Anniversary Team by the NFL (1969) # 36th greatest athlete of the 20th century by Burt Randolph Sugar (1995) # 64th greatest athlete of the 20th century by ESPN (1999) # 43rd greatest athlete of the 20th century by the Associated Press (1999) # 3rd greatest NFL player of the 20th century by the Associated Press (1999) # 11th greatest NFL player of the 20th century by The Sporting News (1999); highest-ranking player for the Redskins # Scripps-Howard all-time college football team (1999) # 4th greatest college football player by SPORT magazine(1999) # 3rd greatest college football player by College Football News (2003) # 7th greatest college football player by Brad Rawlins (2006) # 5th greatest college football player by ESPN (2007) # Named starting quarterback, defensive back and punter of the Cold, Hard Football Facts.com "All-Time 11" (2006) # Named as the Most Versatile Player of all-time by the NFL Network (2007) I used that picture in particular to highlight what Sammy will be doing most of the time for my team. While known mostly for his ability as a quarterback, Sammy Baugh would just not be a fit against the monster defenses of today, or against most of the players taken in this draft. In an era known mostly for running and defense, Baugh was credited with revolutionizing the way quarterbacks were utilized and played. In his 15 active seasons in the NFL, Baugh was one of the best punters of all-time, and is still known as one of the better quarterbacks and defensive backs. With his size at 6'2", 185 lbs., and being able to read a quarterback's mind effectively, Baugh would be an excellent defensive player as well- He mostly played that position from 1941-1945, in which he set marks of 4, 5, 11 (league leader), 4, and 4 interceptions, respectively, while also recovering 21 fumbles. Taken for his punting ability as well, Baugh is still one of the top punters of all time- He averaged 43.1 yards per game which is good enough for 3rd all-time, ahead of every punter selected here in this draft, and just behind a guy who only played in the NFL for three years so his average was probably inflated. And yes, this includes him being ahead of Ray Guy as well. At the time he retired, he was the holder of 13 NFL records- two of which stand today: most seasons leading the league in passing and most seasons leading the league with the lowest interception percentage. Despite this, he had an overall QB Rating of 72.2, throwing more picks (203) than touchdowns (187) so he wouldn't fit in at quarterback, but he's an excellent candidate for playing defensive back as well as punter on my all-time squad.

Just John 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 Hm, I guess I'll round out my linebackers... Clay Matthews - OLB 4x Pro Bowl 1561 career tackles 69.5 career sacks 16 career INT's 27 forced fumbles Brother of lineman Bruce Matthews, Clay is a model for consistency at the linebacker position. His best asset is his sure tackling, but there really isn't anything he can't do on defense. He played LB for 19 years, and outside of a rare injury year, he was always productive. He can play both sides of the field, and is effective against the run or the pass. That's the kind of durability, consistency, and general well-roundedness I like to see on my defense.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 2, 2008 With the next pick in the draft, Tzar Lysergic and his team of Marauding Norsemen select.. HB/FB/TE Billy Cannon 6'1", 216 lbs. TSN All-AFL 1961, 1967 AFL All-Star 1961, 1967, 1969 Awards 1959 Heisman Trophy Honors American Football League Champion, 1961 and 1962 AFL Rushing leader, 1961 From wiki: Cannon had an uncommon combination of brute strength with the speed of a sprinter. A track and field coach is reported to have remarked during his college career that he could have lost 15 pounds and won the Olympic gold in the 100 meter dash, or gained 15 pounds and won the Olympic gold in the shotput. In 1960, his signing by the Houston Oilers followed a fierce bidding war that began when Oilers owner Bud Adams met Cannon in the end zone following LSU's Sugar Bowl victory, and ended in court, with the AFL winning against the NFL. That put the fledgling league on the football map. Cannon, at halfback, scored an 88-yard touchdown on a pass from George Blanda in the first AFL Championship game, a 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. He scored the only touchdown in the Oilers’ repeat victory over the then-San Diego Chargers in the second-ever AFL Championship game. Not a bad pick, I could see him being used like in a Jumbo set with two TE's, and presumably using him as something like an H-Back as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MFer 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2008 I was looking at Kramer a couple rounds ago but I wanted someone with more size (probably part of the reason why he and some of the other older players fell).
