Anyone interested in doing an all - time draft - The Orange Mane

phisig150 · 02-12-2006, 02:28 AM

I saw an all time player draft on a nba team message board and thought it might be cool to do one for football.

Arkie · 02-12-2006, 04:29 AM

With the first pick of the all-time draft, I select John Elway, QB, Denver Broncos.

ChampBailey24 · 02-12-2006, 08:42 AM

with second pick in the all-time draft, i select walter payton rb, chicago bears

phisig150 · 02-12-2006, 12:16 PM

ok i guess i get number 3. Barry Sanders

Lidderer · 02-12-2006, 02:01 PM

i'll take Stan Gelbaugh

if he's already gone: Joe Montana

Billy Clyde Puckett · 02-12-2006, 02:02 PM

Bubba Smith - DE

-Slap- · 02-14-2006, 12:06 AM

Picking sixth, I'll select Johnny Unitas QB.

I propose we limit this to 24 teams and draft in a serpentine fashion to make things more fair for teams picking late.

Clockwork Orange · 02-14-2006, 12:15 AM

With the 7th pick, I'll select Reggie White, DE.

TheDave · 02-14-2006, 12:26 AM

With #8 I'll take Dan Marino

Old Dude · 02-14-2006, 10:09 AM

With #9, I take Jim Brown.

James Nathaniel Brown. . .Syracuse All-America, 1956. . . Browns' No. 1 draft pick, 1957. . .Awesome runner, led NFL rushers eight years. . .All-NFL eight of nine years. . .NFL's Most Valuable Player, 1958, 1965. . . Rookie of the Year, 1957. . .

"For mercurial speed, airy nimbleness, and explosive violence in one package of undistilled evil, there is no other like Mr. Brown," wrote Pulitzer Prize winning sports columnist Red Smith.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 02-14-2006, 10:16 AM

With number 10 - Ray Nitschke - the model for linebackers to come

Old Dude · 02-14-2006, 10:57 AM

I'm thinking we should restrict this to 16 teams, or we'll never get done.

A 16 team snake draft sounds about right.

Lawrence Taylor, an All-America at North Carolina, was the first-round draft pick of the New York Giants and the second player selected overall in the 1981 NFL Draft. The 6-3, 237-pound linebacker set the tone for his pro career with an outstanding rookie season during which he recorded a career-high 133 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 8 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception.

A dominant force on defense, Taylor was named first-team All-Pro in each of his first nine seasons. His ability to dominate a game with his attack style changed the outside linebacker position from a read-and-react posture to an aggressive mode.

An intense player, he had the speed to run past offensive linemen and the strength to out-muscle them. Starting in Taylor’s first season, the Giants began a 10-season streak in which they made the playoffs six times and won two Super Bowls.

Although Taylor’s accomplishments are many, he recorded his finest statistical season in 1986 when he was named the NFL’s MVP, becoming the first defensive player to do so since 1971. That season, Taylor recorded a career high 20.5 sacks, 105 total tackles, five passes defensed, and two forced fumbles.

In a 1988 game against the New Orleans Saints, suffering with a torn pectoral muscle in his shoulder, Taylor demonstrated his remarkable strength and determination. Wearing a harness to keep his shoulder in place, he managed to record seven tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles. The Giants won 13-12.

Taylor recorded 132.5 quarterback sacks (not including 9.5 sacks he recorded in 1981, since the sack didn’t become an official NFL statistic until 1982), 1,088 tackles, 33 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries, and nine interceptions during his career. He was selected to play in 10 Pro Bowls and in 1994 was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team
