Our First three picks in 2017 draft our best in team history?

Agreed. However, '07 would've been a good tie if it wasn't for dumbass Dwayne Jarrett. Drafted Beason, Kalil, & CJ in that one.

2001 was a great draft, but it was followed up by 2002's Julius Peppers, DeShaun Foster and Will Witherspoon -- three guys who were instrumental in that 2003 Superb Owl run and the 2005 season. Injuries got Foster and we should have kept Will and let Morgan go. Pep, well, he's legendary, isn't he?

I still talk to Foster on Twitter sometimes.  He's amazed people remember his play.  We talked about the Phily run and the SB.  I rattled off some stats about the SB and his TD being the longest rush NE had allowed the whole year, he said he didn't know that (or had forgotten).  Those 2 classes gave us the lore we will tell the next generation about.
