Best Draft Picks of the Century From Cal

College Football analyst Chase Goodbread is doing a series on NFL.com's CFB 24/7 of the best draft picks of this century from various top colleges. He ranks the players based on a formula in which they receive points for honors they've acquired in their NFL career, including Pro Bowls and being selected first-team All-Pro. The formula further factors in the round in which each player was drafted.

So far, Goodbread has tackled Ohio State, Miami, USC, LSU, Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Stanford, Penn State, Nebraska, etc. He's releasing his picks for a new college every few days through the end of June. It helps to build the thrill for the upcoming college football season. His picks for Cal are scheduled for Monday. In advance of that here are my picks for the Golden Bears. My picks are by sight rather than a formula.

Flea Flicker's Best Draft Picks Of The Century From Cal 

1. Aaron Rodgers, QB
Drafted by: Green Bay Packers, Round 1, 2005
No explanation needed for this one.

2. Marshawn Lynch, RB
Drafted by: Buffalo Bills, Round 1, 2007
Lynch was very good with the Bills and great with the Seahawks. Now he's come out of retirement to play for his hometown Oakland Raiders. If his encore is as great as his Seahawk years there should be a spot for him in Canton. My goodness, a Hall of Fame speech from Lynch would be wonderful to hear and see.

3. Alex Mack, C
Drafted by: Cleveland Browns, Round 1, 2009
Mack has been one of the best, if not the best, center in the league for the past few seasons. He spent the first seven years of his career losing often in Cleveland. He traded that for winning often in Atlanta last offseason. With the Falcons he might finally get the attention that he's long deserved.

4. DeSean Jackson, WR
Drafted by: Philadelphia Eagles, Round 2, 2008
Jackson is one of the best deep receiving threats in league history. He's also been a game-changing returner on occasion. If only he'd stop some of the knucklehead stuff.

5. Nnambi Asomugha, CB
Drafted by: Oakland Raiders, Round 1, 2003
For most of the eight years that Asomugha played with the Raiders he was one of the 2-3 best corners in the game. For a couple of years he was the best. Quarterbacks didn't even attempt to challenge him. The last couple years of his career got a little rough when he played in a defense that didn't suit him in Philadelphia.

Honorable Mentions: Keenan Allen, Brandon Mebane, Scott Fujita, Deltha O'Neal, Mavin Jones

Just for comparisons and giggles, here are Goodbread's picks for the best draft picks from Stanford.

1. Richard Sherman
2. Andrew Luck
3. David DeCastro
4. Eric Heitman
5. Oshiomogho Atogwe

The first three are solid but advantage Cal. Go Bears!
