<![CDATA[Where is the real talent in this year's draft?]]>I have read and heard a lot of speculation about this year's draft. Most people seem to think that this years draft is deep on the defensive side; but, how good are they really? My opinion is that this was not a very talented year in college which is why there were so many upsets and ranked teams falling back; while, unranked teams passed them up. The DBs looked good this year but is it because they were that good or because the receivers and quarterbacks they played against were not as good as years before this last year. I still think that DB is one of the deepest and most skilled for this draft; but, their competition makes me worry if they will do as well at the pro level. What do you think?

Sure:

Faget:

An internet term meant to describe individuals engrossed in the process of faggotry. The alternate spelling is to distinguish those instigators of faggotry from legitimate homosexuals, towards whom no offense is intended.
Stop being a faget.

(assumes the target isn't legitimately homosexual)

That is why I say that 1957 and 1964 stack up well vs. 1983.

10 HOF in '64

9 in '57

only 7 in '83

Plus, for 57 particularly...look at that list of Non-HOF guys. Kemp...2 time champ. Brodie...outstanding QB.

Interesting. Good stuff.

I personally would have no problem bumping up '57 and '64 but then again I might be a bit prejudiced there because I grew up watching those guys instead of 1989 when I was already out of grad school...different passions maybe and many more games watched.

One thing too all of the HOF guys are good, great or excellent we'll see how this year's bunch shakes out in maybe 15-20 years....if we're still here. 😉

1992...NONE (perhaps best players that year were: Jimmy Smith WR and DB Troy Vincent)

1947....1: Dante Lavelli

1954: 1: Raymond Berry

1955: 1. Johnny Unitas

1959: 1. Dick Lebeau

1972: 1. Franco Harris

1977: 1. Tony Dorsett.

1986: 1. Charles Haley

(note: the latest draft class in which someone is now in the HOF is the 1997 class: Orlando Pace and Walter Jones

1998 will have Peyton, Charles Woodson, Randy Moss, Alan Faneca.

1999 best bets are Champ Bailey, Donovan McNabb and Edgerrin James.

Interesting, perhaps controversial. 1983 the best? Arguable. 1957 and 1964 had more HOF players.

I had not thought about 2007 and 2011. Maybe a bit premature?

What about 2004? Excellent at the Top: Rivers/Eli/BR. plus Vince Wilfork, Larry Fitzgerald. Jared Allen. It falls off from there, so maybe not as deep.

2007? Well, it had a poor beginning: Jamarcus Russell. But Patrick Willis, Revis, JT, Adrian Peterson do some good.
