The Oakland Raiders might say differently but this draft doesn't have as many busts as most drafts. There's two quarterbacks, Manning and Roethlisberger, that have four Super Bowl titles between them. A third quarterback, Rivers, that has produced during the regular season as well as any quarterback since 2004. Larry Fitzgerald is the one player of this draft that will certainly be in Canton one day. The quarterbacks, at least the Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, will probably follow him. Sean Taylor might have followed them to Canton if his life wasn't cut short far too soon. Kenechi Udeze's survived leukemia but his football playing career was cut short. He's remained in the game as a coach. No offense to Udeze but I would have preferred that the Vikings selected the player that followed Udeze. Vince Wilfork has been one of the best nose tackles of his generation. This might have been the last draft that was dominated by players from the University of Miami. Six in this one.
It's usually fun to look at back at drafts. Sometimes it can be depressing but it's mostly fun. This one is mostly fun.
