2006 - I think DeAngelo Williams would have been taken higher than they have him listed if they knew how good he'd be, although I can understand him being a mid-round pick because he's a running back.

2007 - Jon Beason being listed as #15 overall is fuging laughable. He would be a top 10 pick at the latest. Charles Johnson jumped 64 spots to #19 overall which is about where I'd put him.

2008 - This one really is a joke. They have Stewart as the 7th RB taken, and put PEYTON HILLIS before him. I can understand the Otah drop because of his injury concerns(he dropped 10 spots), but putting Hillis, and even Forte before Stewart is a fuging joke lol.

Peyton Hillis is a beast.

That he is. I like Hills, but Stewart crushes him in every way imaginable. His stats in 2009 were much better than Hillis' in 2010. Hillis has had one good season while Stewart has had three.

the issue isn't really who is put ahead of him. it's him falling fifteen spots.

what the hell is that about?

the list is more or less based on what they can remember right off the top of their heads and not on a players body of work as a whole.

Off the top of my head Darrell Revis was not drafted 32nd and Kentwan Balmer was not drafted by the Seahawks.

And Pierre Garcon as the 9th best player in the 2008 draft is one of the funnier things I have read in a long time as is the rest of the list. Riley you should just write sort of heartwarming puff pieces because your knowledge of actual football is not very good any more.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
