Last week I presented an All-Time Team made up of players taken with the top pick of their respective drafts. It's only fair that I present an All-Time Team made up of players taken with the second pick of their respective drafts.
Quarterback
Sid Luckman (1939)
Luckman edges out Y.A. Tittle.
Running back
Eric Dickerson (1983)
Tony Dorsett (1977)
Ollie Matson and George McAfee received strong consideration.
Receivers
Calvin Johnson (2007)
Johnny "Lam" Jones (1980)
Well, it was either Jones or Charles Rogers.
Tackles
Bob Brown (1964)
Tony Boselli (1995)
Brown was drafted as a guard but played tackle during his Hall of Fame career
Guards
Tom Mack (1966)
Walt Sweeney (1963)
Mack was drafted as a tackle but played guard during his Hall of Fame career.
Center
Dan Currie (1958)
Defensive ends
Julius Peppers (2002)
Neil Smith (1988)
Defensive tackles
Merlin Olsen (1962)
Randy White (1975)
Outstanding!
Linebackers
Lawrence Taylor (1981)
Cornelius Bennett (1987)
Von Miller (2011)
I guess that we'll just send all three after the quarterback.
Defensive back
Eric Turner (1991)
Defensive back isn't a popular pick at #1 or #2. Turner is the only one taken at either spot in the history of the draft.
The front seven of this defense will spend a lot of time around the opposing quarterback. It will be a race every snap to see who gets there first. They will have to get there fast seeing as there's no secondary.
