    Fair and accurate. But I think the back-ups were of a higher quality than any defender we’ve had in many years and their games deserve more respect comparatively. I never worried to a similar degree like I do now when a back up is on the field. Defensively speaking.

    On offense we’ve had some incredibly competent #2 RB’s.

    Unless I'm forgetting somebody, the sixth round is a no-brainer. It's Antonio Brown.

    Yeah, it’s definitely Keisel…. The only other one that comes to mind is Kelvin Beachum. I think Tunch was 6th or 7th? That’s all I got…

    Given everything we know, do we still put AB ahead of Greg Lloyd? If @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace does a poll, my guess is it would be close.

    Because it is close. But not that close. AB has it.

    They both should have had longer careers. AB could have gone down on the WR Rushmore, but now he’s just a huge chunk laying in the chipped off rubble below.


    (FYI - I climbed it and stood on GW’s head and that’s what it actually looks like below.)

    I thought I might be forgetting someone, but yeah, Brown was better than Lloyd.

    I actually just read where they took Burns out to dinner. They only do that for potential 1st rd picks. I think it was Kaboly and he was saying that it is a bigger indicator than who they bring in for a visit.

    Go figure. I still think Jackson was the intended target before the Bengals took him.

    Yes, as much as I despise AB he has to be the pick here. Like Ward, Lloyd is one of my all time favorites but have to keep it honest.

    I can't bring myself to forget what football did to him, but Webster was a machine at the heart of that offense for a long time.

    I just checked, he was 6th round. Not official until tomorrow, but yea AB, but Tunch is high honorable mention.

    Kiesel and then because there is still one more day to the draft I’ll pick a UDFA. That should be fun.

    Off the top of my head that will probably be between Silverback and the Torpedo.

    Fast Willie and Ryan Clark were also UDFA. I’m sure I am forgetting some others.

    I wasn't sure if Harrison first signed with the Steelers out of college. I know they cut him multiple times and the Ravens had him at one point before he caught on with Pittsburgh for good.

    As you wrote, I'm sure there are some other very good ones, but it would be tough to be better than those four. Oldschool brought up Foster. He's another good one.

    Edit: I found one list online. Jack Butler, Sam Davis, and Keith Willis were all undrafted free agents.

    Good luck deciding between Harrison and Shell. My first thought is that Shell being in the Hall of Fame trumps everything else, but Harrison was just so dominant. I hate to put so much of it on one moment, but he also has a play that is among the best and most impactful in Super Bowl history.
