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.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
