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.

    • He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.  
    • Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.
    • A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
