The NFL All-Time Draft.

Recommended Posts

I'm going to bed at 11, so I probably am not the best bet.

 

I figured that we may start seeing some coaches soon. Unlike other sports a good head coach is often vital in football. I just think there are too many of them to justify passing on a player you feel you must have. But we are getting to the point where we are getting past the must have players and it is better to get a top of the line coach than reach for a player you don't really want. It will be interesting to see the order in which the top ones get picked as a lot of it depends on the playing style that people are looking for.

S Rodney Harrison

* 2x Pro Bowl selection (1998, 2001)

* 4x All-Pro selection (1998, 2001, 2003, 2004)

* 2x Super Bowl champion (2003, 2004)

* In the 20/20 Club

* Only player in NFL history with 30 INTs and 30 sacks

Selected NFL statistics

(through Week 17 of the 2007 NFL season)

Tackles 589

Sacks 30.5

INT 33

 

Making another huge addition to my secondary with a guy who's a sure-fire HOFer, Harrison's a dirty fucking player who is an excellent blitzer and can shut down the other half of the field that Rod Woodson isn't covering.

Nice choice with Harrison. I was debating between 3 players with this pick, and I'll be happy if just one of the other two gets back to me. Since I have a LB and a DB, I figured I'd go DL with this pick, and I've settled on...

John Randle - DT

 

7x Pro Bowl

7x All Pro

90's All Decade Team

137.5 career sacks (T - 5th all time)

 

Watch out, VX, my guy's comin' for ya. Just what I need on my defense. A big nasty motherfucker that'll get some sacks, strips, and heckle the oppostion. Safe to say my defense shouldn't have much trouble pressuring opposing QBs so far.

Well, I was looking at my team and thought to myself, "Gee, I could really use a hall of fame defensive player..."

 

Doug Atkins-DE

 

8x Pro Bowl selection (1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1965)

10x All-Pro selection (1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1968)

1958 Pro Bowl MVP

NFL 1960s All-Decade Team

New Orleans Saints #81 Retired

Tennessee Volunteers #91 Retired

 

Pro Football Hall of Fame

College Football Hall of Fame

 

 

That's not all, though. This guy was 6'8" 275. With him on one edge and Bruce Smith on the other, you guys might as well adopt a big shiny red bullseye as your team logo, because your QB is a dead man in cleats. He'll tip a lot of balls, too. Considering I have four of the best hands in NFL history in my secondary, that's a big factor. He also played a bit of DT, and I'm all about some versatility.

Looks like I made it in time after all.

 

There's been a good amount of corners taken so far, and that's one position I really want to make sure I get a top-flight player at, so I'm going with...

Lem Barney

 

7x Pro Bowl selection (1967, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976)

7x All-Pro selection (1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1975)

NFL 1960s All-Decade Team

1967 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

#97 on Sporting News Top 100 List of Great NFL Players

Sang background vocals on Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On"

 

Like Gale Sayers, Barney was another guy who could do it all. He was a great kick and punt returner for a time as well as a great corner. He even was a punter for a couple seasons. Also, this is one of those rare moments where I'll be able to take a Lion without any hesistation.

DE Chris Doleman

 

The Glory

- 8x Pro Bowl Selection

- 6x All-Pro Selection

- 1990's All Decade Team

 

The Stats

- 150.5 sacks

- 44 forced fumbles & 24 fumble recoveries

- His final 5 seasons (34-38 years old) he had 55 Sacks

- Had 21 sacks in 1989

- Had 15 sacks at age 37 in 1998

 

I actually remember him more so in his latter seasons with Atlanta and San Francisco but I remember he was a solid sack artist and more importantly, another defender who can make the "big play" when counted upon as evidenced by his 44 forced fumbles. That's an average of 3 a season and given his longevity and skill even when old, he'll be a force regardless. My defense is being set up for takeaways, turnovers, and setting up good field position as a result.

My defense will be beastly not only because of it's players, but because of..

One of my favorite players and one of the reasons I was a Bucs fan back in the day. He was unstoppable in 2002 on the way to that Super Bowl win.

Hard to believe Brooks was still around close to the 6th round with his credentials. He was one of the other two I considered with my last pick.

Brooks was going to be my next pick. Excellent choice there, nogoodnick.

I wouldn't have taken either one, looking at the other side of the board.

 

Has it been eight hours for Orange Goblin? I think so.

Argh. I was hoping Warren Sapp made it back.

 

And you know, the saddest thing is that you probably could have gotten Noll coming back and got both guys you wanted.

 

You're probably right.

Sorry was out of town unexpectedly. My picks:

 

62.jpg

Gene Upshaw, LG

- 7x Pro Bowl

- 11x All-Pro

- 2x Super Bowl champ

- 1970's All-Decade team

- NFL 75th Anniversary

 

- Time to start bolstering the O-line and he's the best guy left. Absolutely dominant, very consistent and could block anybody.

 

and

 

 

nfl_w_harris_195.jpg

Franco Harris, RB

- 9x Pro Bowl

- 7x All-Pro

- 1970's All-Decade team

- Super Bowl IX MVP

- A member of the 10,000 yd rushing club

 

- I need some form of offense and RB's are going much quicker than WR's so I have to grab an elite one. It doesn't get much more elite than Harris. A perfect combination back who could run for power as well as for speed. Was instrumental in the Steeler's dynasty of the 1970's and will be the cornerstone of my running game.

OLB - Shawne Merriman

 

merriman.jpg

 

3 All Pro

3 Pro Bowls

in 3 seasons in the NFL

 

The first of the young guns taken in this draft, there may be players with more legend available, but there isn't anyone batting a thousand on Pro-Bowls and All Pro teams. This guy is a sack artist, and a terrifying football player at 6'4" 272 pounds. I now have Ray Lewis and Shawne Merriman playing LB for me... I'd rather get shot than be a running back playing against my team.

I was going to go a different direction, but this guy will solidify my defensive line and along with Randy White will form one of the better defensive tackle duos:

4 Time Pro Bowler.

6 Time All-Pro (1st team once)

82 Sacks

NFL 1980s All-Decade Team
