Comments on: The NFL Draft has been dropping deuces in the modern era. http://cakerockstheparty.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/the-nfl-draft-has-been-dropping-deuces-in-the-modern-era/ Barton Fink meets The Big Lebowski Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:01:27 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Andrew http://cakerockstheparty.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/the-nfl-draft-has-been-dropping-deuces-in-the-modern-era/#comment-5813 Andrew Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:55:11 +0000 http://cakerockstheparty.wordpress.com/?p=1329#comment-5813 I may have undersold McNabb's goodness in this list. Not Faulk, but probably ahead of Peppers. Also, I tried to do it from a point where Mel Kiper started on TV, because it was the tipping point of the draft toward event television. That means Hall of Famers like Dorsett, Dickerson and Taylor get missed (as well as winners like Bo Matthews, Lam Jones and Steve Niehaus.) Brown: Ask me again in 2009, because he'll need time to recover from the ACL. Bush: Right now he is a glorified 3rd down back. And Kim Kardashian may turn him syphilitic. Johnson: Instincts say he'll fall to the good. I may have undersold McNabb’s goodness in this list. Not Faulk, but probably ahead of Peppers.

Also what about Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Randy White, Lawrence Taylor, Eric Dickerson, Ronnie Brown, Reggie Bush, and Calvin Johnson(a little early to say he's gonna be great, but I have a hunch he will be). Plus like you mentioned Julius Peppers and Marshall Faulk were both awesome picks. Just had to play devils advocate a little.
