Here are the candidates and my picks (and some thoughts after):

QB (1):  Beuerlein, Collins, Delhomme, Newton
FB (1):  Floyd, Griffith, Hoover, Tolbert
RB (1):  Biakabutuka, Davis, Foster, McCaffrey, Stewart, Williams
TE (1):  King, Mangum, Olsen, Walls
WR (2):  Benjamin, Carrier, Funchess, LaFell, Muhammad, Smith
C (1):  Garcia, Hangartner, Kalil, Mitchell
G (2):  Campbell, Donnally, Norwell, Turner, Wahle, Wharton
T (2):  Bell, Brockermeyer, Gross, Remmers, Steussie, Terry
DE (2):  Addison, Fox, Hardy, Johnson, Peppers, Rucker
DT (2):  Buckner, Jenkins, Kemoeato, Kragen, Lotulelei, Short
LB (3):  Beason, Davis, Greene, Kuechly, Lathon, Mills, Morgan, Witherspoon
CB (2):  Davis, Evans, Gamble, Lucas, Marshall, Munnerlyn, Norman
S (2):  Coleman, Cota, Godfrey, Grant, Harris, Minter, Terrell
K (1):  Gano, Kasay
P (1):  Baker, Nortman, Palardy, Saurbrun
Return (1):  Bates, Ginn, Smart

 

At QB, I love Jake as much as the next guy, but Cam is the best we've ever seen.  For FB, how can you not go Hoover?  At RB, it's tough to choose only one given our history, and if you ask again in a couple years I suspect I'll change my answer, but for now it's gotta be Stewart.  Olsen at TE is obvious, though Walls was Olsen before Olsen.  At WR, it just shows you how bad we've been when KB and LaFell are even options.  Kalil at C makes us all forget that we have had some pretty good players there . . . but Frank Garcia was good.  Turner was fairly obvious . . . but Norwell over Wharton by a hair I think.  The fact that Byron Bell and Mike Remmers are options here makes you really appreciate Jordan Gross all the more.  Our DE's have been really good over time, and taking Johnson over Rucker was hard.  Our DT's also . . . strong . . . Jenkins and Short would have been devastating if they played in the same era.  And our LB's . . . holy (*@$ our LB's . . . just great historically . . . I stand by my choices, but wow having to leave out Dan Morgan was hard.  At CB, we've historically been pretty good when you look at the list, but yea Norman and Gamble were our best.  At S, it makes you realize how long it's been since we've had a really good one . . . we miss you Mike.  I took Gano over Kasay because Gano has a comparable make percentage, more range and kicks off.  Saurbrun over the field because Saurbrun also kicked off for us.  And all credit to Ted Ginn, but Michael Bates changed games at returner where Ginn did most of his damage on offense.

    • When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
    • Dude you are smart fan. 3 on 0 breakaways won’t matter who is in net. You gotta be better on this one. 
    • Raiders are gonna get a good one. Rather have Mendoza fly out and play for the Panthers tomorrow than Bryce
