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.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
