2017 is gonna have to be added on the list soon. Myles Garret, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, Cooper Kupp, Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Marshawn Lattimore, Leonard Fournette, TJ Watt, Ryan Ramcyzk, Joe Mixon, Austin Ekeler, Dalvin Cook, Eddie Jackson, Jamal Adams, George Kittle, Marlon Humphrey, Tre’Davious White, Buddha Baker, Johnathon Allen, Juju Smith-Schuster, Chris Carson, Aaron Jones, Chris Godwin, Kareem Hunt, Kenny Golladay, James Conner, Harrison Butker, Younghoe Koo, and Taysom Hill. I mean, MY GOSH LOOK HOW LONG THIS LIST IS!!!
That would be a large proportion of a top team right there.
At this point in time when people read this comment they will say, I can't believe you put Kenny Golladay on this list lol. He is going to be on a list of the top 10 worst Free Agent Signings of all time very soon. Just ask any Giants fan
2017 was great year for New Orleans saints, but so-so fir the rest of nfl
@@csheeks061 I made this comment when Golladay was coming off a strong 2020 season with Detroit
Easy now…..you’re getting Wayyy ahead of yourself…🤣😂🤣
2004 not being on this list is a shame. Let me go through the names. Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Rothlisberger, Larry Fitzgerald, Sean Taylor, Bob Sanders, Deangelo Hall, Vince Wilfork, Jared Allen, Steven Jackson, Michael Turner, Willie Parker, Wes Welker, Jason Peters and some lesser names like Matt Schaub, Chris Cooley, Shaun Phillips, Jonathan Vilma, Chris Snee, Nick Hardwick... I mean come on there are definitely 7-9 hall of famers there.
Damn
List is okay a lot of the players you mentioned had short lived careers.
Can’t forget Larry Johnson
Aaron Smith lmao no way are there “7-9 hall of gamers on there”.
@@Juice-ig3jz Eli, Philip, Ben, Larry, Vince, Jared, Steven should all make it to the hall imo, an argument could be made for Wes, Jason and Sean. Either way it was a killer draft class.
2017 looks great now. mahomes, deshaun watson, kittle, kamara, eddie jackson, jamal adams, myles garret. many more great ones too cant remember
Jacob Sawyer Christian mccaffrey?
Ju Ju
2016 was way deeper and stacked with talent. Look at just the first 9 picks: Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Joey Bosa, Zeke, Jalen Ramsey, Ronnie Stanley, DeForest Buckner, Jake Conklin, Leonard Floyd. All from solid starters to very good and the list goes on. Laremy Tunsil, Keanu Neal, Jaylon Smith, Hunter Henry, Myles Jack, Chris Jones, Xavien Howard, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, Deion Jones (maybe greatest 2nd round ever), Kevin Byard, Yannick Ngakoue, Justin Simmons, Blake Martinez, Dak Prescott, Matt Judon, Jordan Howard, Tyreek Hill.
If this class continues their play at this level, it will be one of the greatest ever.
@@RayJuzBeinRay no
Michael Mertens Mahomes and Watson damn near better then all those players
2004 Draft? Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Larry Fitzgerald
Yeah these NFL countdowns often times make no sense
And Sean Taylor
Agreed, they want to talk about quarterbacks but between the 2 2004 has more Super Bowl wins..I agree whole heartedly that the 83 draft should be at the top but to not even mention 2004 is ridiculous. They also has Vince wilfork, Sean Taylor, Steven Jackson, Jared Allen just to name a few.
Don’t forget: Vince Wilfork, Deangelo Hall, Wes Welker, Jason Peters, Chris Cooley (Solid player), Bob Sanders (Won DPOY in 07), Matt Schaub (Led the league in passing yards in 2009), Jonathan Wilma (Won DROY and a Super Bowl ring with the Saints), Darnell Dockett, and Karlos Dansby.
Dont forget Chris Snee, extremely underappreciated two time All-Pro and two time champion offensive guard.
Richard Sherman deserved a mention with the 2011 class
Ikr and aldon smith
@Ant P u dumb. He was an elite corner and is still good after a bad injury
Hahahahahahahhaha. That one year wonder? No....
@@JMSxx one year wonder? Hes made multiple 1st team all pros.....
Na Sherman was only good for like 4 years and that's honestly debatable cause he was surrounded by 2 great safeties, 2 great Lbs and and a good defensive line
2001 should have been included. Steve Smith, Michael Vick, Santana Moss, Chad Johnson, Richard Seymour, Ladanian Tomlinson, Drew Brees and plenty more. One of the deepest drafts in my opinion.
2012 should b on there bc of andrew luck and ty hilton. Best duo in the last 10 years. Get out of my freaking face right now
How do you talk about the 2011 draft and not mention Richard Sherman?
@Ant P He had like 5 where he had the lowest passer rating when QB's threw to him
Ant P you must not watch much football huh?
I knew they were missing another hall of famer
I think they were focused more on the first 3 rounds or so. I think Sherm was a 5th rounder? I think the rationale is they're basing it more on the draft capital invested when compared to the resulting player versus player value as a whole
Bc he is the slowest corner in Madden
i swear to god if i see that "comedian" with the accent again
His entire case for being a comedian is his accent it’s so bad
Yeah he is cancerously bad, but lets not pretend that you're gonna do anything when they keep using him
Which one?
Das is gud
I try to watch these and always forget about the terrible comedians and end up leaving 10 minutes into the video.
“With the strength of a tiger and the arms of an octopus”
The greatest compliment I’ve ever heard.
Just described my wife
Scott Ferrall 😂 “I wasn’t even in my father’s nut sack in ‘61!” That had me on the floor laughing! 😂
"Defensive linemen lose 5 pounds, defensive backs are growing a dozen gray hairs, and coach Norm Van Brocklin maybe sprouting an ulcer"
The Raiders took JaMarcus Russell and passed on Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, MarShawn Lynch, Darrelle Revis, Joe Staley, Lawrence Timmons, Greg Olsen. In Round 2 the Raiders passed on Paul Posluszny, Eric Weddle, Ryan Kalil, and LaMarr Woodley. In round 3 they passed on Marshal Yanda.
Sean Wolenski It’s impossible to predict that though you can’t really hold it over them. Brady was passed on 5 times by everyone and 6 by a handful more. He was the consensus number one it just turned out horribly
@@emmettkahnert7480 Wrong. Your talking about Rodgers who everyone thought would go 1! But Brady was drafted in the 6th round. No one thought anything of him which makes his story special. He became the goat with Bill. Cuz goat QBs need goat coaches.
Spider Man That’s not my point. I was arguing you can’t predict greatness in the league except for generational guys. Russel was a really hyped prospect but completely flopped whereas I compared him to Brady who was a nobody with little to no athleticism or true talent (he proves that leadership and competitiveness are what makes a great player). You can’t blame a team for taking the consensus number one that turned out to be a bust over guys that weren’t supposed to be generational talents it’s just not fair.
@@emmettkahnert7480 1. Life ain't fair
2. I never said your point was wrong my man I was sayin what you said that he was the consensus n.1 which he was not. You straight lied. Cuz who you were talking about Aaron.
Spider Man You just created a different argument. My comment was about the pick of Jamarcus Russell. You can’t blame them for taking him he was a great player and they needed a qb. What the original guys comment was doing was listing every player that turned out well in the draft but none were a sensible pick for them to make at one. They made the right choice and it flopped
2010 needs some love: Antonio Brown, Gronk, Suh, Geno Atkins, Gerald McCoy, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Jimmy Graham, Demaryius Thomas, Dez, Joe Haden, Eric Berry
thats ok not great
@@scottos_ I can say the same for a lot of the draft classes on this list
Big picture that’s maybe 2 or 3 hofers. A lot of those guys won’t be remembered in 10 years much less immortalized in Canton. Recency bias.
Yeah the only Hof’ers from 2010 would be AB, Gronk, and Earl Thomas
Very true... People sleep on Geno Atkins & Gerald McCoy because of their small market status teams... They are both future Hall of Famers in my opinion
Don't forget that Justin Houston was also apart of the 2011 draft class. He scored over 20 sacks in the 2014 season. He was a great player with Kansas City and he did great with Indianapolis last season.
29:14 that play-by-play is really hilarious AF
I'd have found a spot on this list for 2012. That draft produced an insane 36 pro-bowlers, and if you include UDFA + supplemental draft, it's 42 pro-bowlers. There's only 3-4 "no-doubt" HoFers, but in terms of teams walking away from the draft feeling pretty good about what they got, it's way up there.
I think going forward it'll be on a updated list. Chandler jones a couple good-decent seasons from jumping into the top 20 sack leaders all time. Fletcher Cox, undeniable lynch pin for the Eagles during 2 title runs. Decastro in Pittsburgh helped keep Big Ben upright during some of his best offensive seasons. Harrison Smith really good for Minnesota at S. Gilmore is a DPOY recipient, marking 2 in the class. Luke Keuchly and Bobby Wagner were/are the preeminent MLBs of their generation. Russell Wilson it really depends going forward due to this last season. I think everyone expected his trajectory to continue along the same path or go upward to solidify his chances. 6/11 QB's got to one Pro Bowl, meaning at some point they had established a level of play notable to the public. Maybe only one of them is a HOF, but that pro bowl fact is really neat considering there are some ugly QB years in draft history. Johnny Hekker AND Justin Tucker are special teamer reps in this class. 39 pro bowlers from the class I count now unless I miscounted. There's not a lot of HOF like you said, but theres a ton of good players here who made a difference for their squad at one point or another.
1983 actually had 7 HOFers in round 1, 8 overall. He must have missed Jimbo Covert. So it really was a 1 in 4 chance of drafting a hall of Famer. Lots of other good players who were key parts of Suoer Bowl rosters into the 1990s: Jesse Sapolu, Charles Mann, Dave Duerson, Darryl Talley, Leonard Marshall, Roger Craig.
Covert didn't make the HOF. He was on the All-Decade team, but that was his highest achievement, besides the SB
@@dancrews7769 he also made the Hall. Just not in time for this show.
@@75aces97 You're correct, my mistake
Can't argue with 1983 draft class at number one. 2004 got overlooked
"I'm like Michael Jackson before he went crazy. I'll be there!!!" -Brian Dawkins. Best safety line ever 🐐
That 1981 draft was ridiculous. Incredible defensive players. Probably the best lb and best safety of all time in one draft plus all the rest.
What about 1957?
Paul Hornung, Len Dawson, Jim Brown, Jim Parker, Sonny Jurgensen, Tommy MacDonald, Henry Jordan, Don Maynard, Gene Hickerson.
Literally everyone I just mentioned is in the HOF.
3:58 wow see where Eli gets it from 😂
Sauce God Gio that’s what I said they are exactly alike
Please bring this show back with updated lists!!!! I miss this show.
Give 2017 some times it will be on the list soon! I mean...
- Patrick Mahomes
- DeShaun Watson
- TJ Watt
- Myles Garrett
- Alvin Kamara
- Christian McCaffrey
- Dalvin Cook
- Marshon Lattimore
- Jamal Adams
- Marlon Humphrey
- Tredavious White
- George Kittle
- Chris Godwin
- Kenny Golladay
That one dude is right, what the Ravens did in '96 will never be done EVER again... Drafting Two HOF'ers in the 1st Round.
Only Tampa bay has also done that with Warren sap and Derrick Brooks
Of all teams the browns will eventually 1979
Ironically Ozzie Newsome & Clay Matthews been a semi finalist for the hall 4X
Just a matter of time
Didnt the Steelers do that too?
No, but they're the only team to draft 4 HOF players in one draft (1974, I believe)
Just in case anyone is wondering what that kickass song is that plays around 25:20, it's called Try and Test Me by Thomas McWilliams.
Keyshawn Johnson has 3 prowbowl years and is a Super Bowl champion
Actually a pretty nice career
Barry Sanders
Deion Sanders
In the same draft.
That’s Good enough for #1 alone.
YEESH!!
1981 Draft:
Lawrence Taylor
Ronnie Lott
Howie Long
Mike Singletary
Kenny Easley
@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 You can add HOF Russ Grim to your list. One of the best guards of all time.
The best draft by 1 team is the 1974 Steelers. Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, and an added bonus, undrafted free agent Donnie Shell. All 5 are Hall of Famers!
Steelers had 4 HOF'ers in a draft that produced 5. Then add another via free agency. That's impossible.
Imagine how happy Julio Jones was when he heard he wasn’t going to Cleveland! I would have cried of happiness
I know that he belongs in the HOF, but I still don't think that he was worth 5 picks. If ATL builds that D with those picks, maybe they beat NE
@@dancrews7769 but julio was the best player on the team that year
@@coltonclay5255 Joe Thomas was the best player on CLE for years, and what did that get him? BTW Ryan was better than Juliio
Now he'd be happy to be on Cleveland
@@dancrews7769 Dimitroff would’ve screwed up the picks if he didn’t trade em.
3:22 I don't think Damon got the idea here: Adam Vinatieri went undrafted, which means, he doesn't count when adding up drafted talent that year
He counts. Any player who is ELIGIBLE for draft in a certain year - the year they graduate from college or declare themselves eligible for the draft - by definition make them part of said draft class. Otherwise dozens of UFAs every year who make a team - some who go on to HOF careers - like Kurt Warner - would have no year they fall under. That would be stupid & illogical.
For me I think 1983 was probably the best draft of all time!! Considering how many Hall of Fame players were that year!! Plus best quarterback year in the NFL franchise!!
The three quarterbacks for me resemble something
Marino- the stat guy broke the passing records
Jim kelly- the revolutionary quarterback, he changed the nfl
John Elway- the winner, had the most qb wins before Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, and won 2 Super Bowls
Soon to add 2017 to the list. That draft was super stacked on both sides of the ball. Myles garret, CMC, mike Williams, Patrick mahomes, TJ Wyatt, jabrill peppers, jonathan Allen, leanord fournette Tre’davious white, Ryan Ramcyk. All of those are just first rounders and Pro bowlers. There’s plenty of more in the 2nd and 3rd round. Definitely top 5 maybe top 3 draft
That Steve Atwater shoutout was awesome
I agree
Y'all should do a top 10 worst drafts of all time. Like if you agree.
TooNiceAtThis28 wouldn’t it be all Browns drafts tho? Might be boring 😂
@@andrewreeves9158 No 5 of them would go to the Packers with Ted Thompson as GM. 2015 was so bad I don't think a single player is on the team anymore.
Harry Engel 1991/1992 were abysmal
1988...aundray Bruce was the 1st player taken
@Fries I firmly agree that there should be a list of worst NFL draft years.
2009 would be even worse than 1992, and those two are quite clearly the worst drafts of the common draft era. If we combine the regular and supplemental drafts for 1984, all but one other draft class since 1967 has combined for at least eleven First Team All-Pro appearances, yet 2009 has had just six and 1992 just eight. Although the 2009 draft class is not yet fully retired, it produced only two potential Hall of Famers in Matthew Stafford and Alex Mack, neither of whom is anywhere near a lock-in. 1992 has had no Hall of Famer, and even its best players - Jimmy Smith and Darren Woodson - are invariably viewed as longshots for the Hall. In fairness, free agency may have seriously affected the development of the 1992 class, as several of its best players, including Smith who is ranked as its best by Pro Football Reference, did not develop until after the 1995 expansion.
Apart from the definite first two of 2009 and 1992:
1976 also had only six First Team All-Pro nominating by five players, but had five Hall of Famers and of its twenty Pro Bowl players, five made at least six Pro Bowls, so it probably is doubtful here.
1966 also saw just five All-Pro players, though it did contain two undrafted stars in Emmitt Thomas and Jim Hart (Pro Football Reference rates Hart the best player from 1966, although he never made First Team All-Pro). It would certainly be in a list of worst draft years ever, even (or especially depending on perspective) with two of the three best players available (Thomas, Hart, offensive guard Tom Mack) passed by two separate drafts.
1972 (22:53) contained only two Hall of Famers - one of whom, Cliff Branch, is being inducted this year - and just 13 All-Pro First Team nominations
1977 had only one Hall of Famer in Tony Dorsett and nobody else with any prospect of reaching the Hall, although it had 19 first Team All-Pro nominations
1986 had only one Hall of Famer in fourth-rounder Charles Haley, only one other player in Leslie OʼNeal who seems likely to make Canton in the future, and only fourteen First-Team All-Pro selections
1999 had only twelve first-team All-Pro selections, although it has two Hall of Famers and Donovan McNabb (who never made a first team All-Pro) may be on the road to Canton.
2002 is often thought of as a terrible draft because of several bad busts, but despite only eight First Team All-Pro players (for seventeen nominations) and only 20 Pro Bowl players (the fewest of any draft since before 1984) it has one Hall of Famer in Ed Reed, and another certain Hall of Famer in Julius Peppers.
2016 class is getting better and better. Give it 5 years and it'll be on this list.
LucyWonderland yupppp Zeke Dak Goff Wentz Jaylon Smith

@@kijones6167 I said 5 years, not 2.
ABSOLUTE Best NFL produced highlight video I've wasted life watching...
How is the 2004 Draft not here.....
Exactly
Harry Engel no it wasn’t you sound dumb😂
Harry Engel 89 had 4 of the top 5 picks as first ballot HOFers that’s insane. 2004 should be but not ahead of 89.
The Raiders took JaMarcus Russell and passed on Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, MarShawn Lynch, Darrelle Revis, Joe Staley, Lawrence Timmons, Greg Olsen. In Round 2 the Raiders passed on Paul Posluszny, Eric Weddle, Ryan Kalil, and LaMarr Woodley. In round 3 they passed on Marshal Yanda.
2011 is my favorite draft class because so many of my favorite players in the league today came in that draft:
Jimmy Smith
Richard Sherman
Patrick Peterson
JJ Watt
Cam Newton
Julio Jones
Von Miller
AJ Green
Cameron Heyward!
“And the Jets just won the Super Bowl!” Hahahaha.
I know they showed Ryan Kerrigan during the 2011 draft segment, but he didn't get an actual mention. He's a very underrated draft day hit. He's been the epitome of consistency since he's been in the league, never missed a game, and he's never put up less than 7.5 sacks in a season. And he had to adjust to a new position. He went from playing mainly as a DE in college, to being a full-time LB in the NFL.
Is it just me or are the announcers really soothing back in the day?
The 2003 Draft Class was pretty good Andre Johnson, Terrance Newman, Kevin Williams, Jordan Gross, Terrell Suugs, Troy Polamalu, Willis McGahee, Nnamdi Asomugha, Dallas Clark, Charles Tillman, Lance Briggs, Jason Witten, Robert Mathis.
anquan boldin as well
Asante Samuel
Yeah... Oh the players I grew up with. I miss you Polamalu
@Harry Engel damn but we talking about HOF now
I see 4 hall of famers
Funfact: The other draft with two HoFers in the first round by the same team was the year before. The Jets fans wanted Warren Sapp with the No.9 selection, but instead they drafted Kyle Brady. After Brady was gone Browns HC Bill Belichick, who wanted to take (another) Brady, traded down with the (I believe) 49ers to 30 for a 1st rounder in 1996. He wanted to take a LB there and couldn't decide between two prospects: Craig Powell (which they took) and Derrick Brooks, who was selected two picks before Powell by Tampa Bay with their second 1st rounder after Warren Sapp.
So Cleveland missed out on two HoFers 1995, lost its football team to Baltimore and the Ravens drafted two HoFers with the picks Cleveland provided the year before.
What a terrific episode! I knew 1983 would be the best year. It's amazing how realignment and expansion teams changed the outlook of the NFL.😮❤😊
A couple of points about 1983. The draft made the 1985 Bears team. Also, Todd Blackledge, Ken O'Brien and Tony "Champaign" Eason were all taken before Marino, with Blackledge at 7. The draft was absolutely loaded with quarterbacks.
And honestly O'Brien and Eason were NOT bad quarterbacks. O'Brien was named to the Pro Bowl multiple times and Eason got the Patriots to the Super Bowl. Only Blackledge of that group really had what I would call a subpar career.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I agree.
2012 might make it up there. Luck is a borderline candidate, but Wilson may have already done enough to get in. Luke Kuechly looks good to make it. Other potential HOF guys would be Matt Kahil, Fletcher Cox, Stephon Gilmore, David Decastro, Dont'a Hightower, Harrison Smith, Bobbie Wagner, TY Hilton, Josh Norman, Danny Trevathan. Heck, even honorable mentions could go to Nick Foles, Olivier Vernon, Kirk Cousins, Lavonte David, Alshon Jeffery, Janoris Jenkins, and Kevin Zeitler. I think we could find 6 to 8 HOF players in that list.
Deacon coulda tore it up by himself, but having 3 teammates lining up next to you that you're close friends with who are also just as lethal, helps out a bit
He swears that he averaged close to 20 sacks per game, but that's of course disputed since sacks weren't a stat until much later
2014 Aaron Donald,khalil Mack, jadeveon clowney, Mike Evans, Anthony Barr, Odell Beckham jr, Taylor lewan, Ryan shazier, Zach Martin, cj Mosley, brandin cooks, dee Ford, Demarcus Lawrence, Joel bitonio, Lamarcus Joyner, Jarvis Landry, jimmy garoppolo, devonta freeman, James white, Matt paradis, Andre Hal, Brandon Linder, Allen Robinson, Derrick Carr, Eric Ebron, Aaron Lynch, Ricardo Allen.
I'll never forget watching that hit on Alge Crumpler. Somehow he held on to the ball. Impossible the way it looked
17:24 boy got that clean ass cut back in the 60s lol
I love how the NFL never really caught onto Lynch grabbing his junk on his reverse endzone dives
How do you talk about the 2011 draft and not mention Richard Sherman?
Guess I shouldn't complain. My team had the number one draft by a single team in history in 74 with the Steelers. Four Hall of Famers.... Swann, Stallworth, Lambert, Webster. Make it FIVE as Donnie Shell just got in as he was a college free agent in that Steelers draft.
Man, they just completely brushed over Howie Long and basically gave him an honorable mention. That man was built like a Greek god and was one of the best defensive ends to ever play the game.
Not to mention his kids have a good chance of joining him in the HOF at some point, especially Chris.
(Regarding Howie Long) "I don't what ever happened to that guy or if he had any children or anything..." That made me laugh way too much!
Same here!!!! (Thinking, yeah only monster sized ones!!!)
I myself kinda found that funny. His sons Kyle and Chris became first rounders. Not as elite as their dad, but still good starters.
1981- we know about the defensive players and Washington selecting 2 Hogs (Russ Grimm and Mark May), but they surprisingly forgot ANOTHER defensive draft pick- Dexter Manley, the greatest pass rusher in Washington history.
Drafting 2 Hogs AND Manley?
Not to mention 1981 had 3 UNDRAFTED defensive players: Sam Mills, Deron Cherry, Everson Walls.
Everson Walls not in the hall is tragic
1996 draft hurts for me as a Packers fan in retrospect. How close Ron Wolf was to trading up to get Ray Lewis...
But at least the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI against the Patriots months later after that.
2014 ain't nothing to sneeze at either. Aaron Donald, Odell, Kahlil Mack, Zach Martin , Mike Evans, Clowney, Dee Ford, Devonte Adams, Allen Robinson etc.
1974 for the Steelers.

Best running back and corner of all time sorry that’s my #1
Okay I just have to say this:
Eli Manning deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Here's why:
He has 4 pro bowls, which isn't a ton considering other qbs, yet above average. He has 2 super bowl rings, and 2 super bowl mvps. He in fact was instrumental in the Giants wins over the Patriots in both bowls. He had not had a losing season before 2013, although he did go 8-8 one year. Age caught up with him eventually but he did help win. He had played in 210 consecutive games before being benched and durability is an important trait for qbs. Can't be great if you're never healthy enough to be. He is in the top 10 in both career yards and touchdowns, and while he is interception prone so was Favre and yet that won't be held against him. Eli has had defenses bail him out, although the same can be said for Rivers, Bradshaw, and McNair. The Giants have been around 90 years and Manning is the best Offensive player to ever play, With Barber or Simms in a distant second. And when regarding his postseason success, he did win a super bowl without his best reciever. Also lets not forget many would say Eli is more clutch than Peyton due to his ability to play up to a situation. He should not be faulted just because he wasn't the best qb in his draft, because if you look at his stats and not how we've judged him as a player that is "shockingly" losing to Father Time, you see a player that is disrespected due to our idea of how he should be playing.
Austin Stone agreed, plus he beat Brady twice
Austin Stone he will go first ballot
2011 draft has to be #2

I'LL BE THERE!
WHAT?! 1974 IS NOT ON THE LIST? The Steelers drafted four Hall of Famers in their first five picks in that draft that became part of their core to their 1970s dynasty: Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth and Mike Webster. It's an accomplishment that has never been duplicated since.
They also got Donnie shell in free agency
That was a great draft class by 1 team. But other than that……….
The high school to college to professional is a great system and I wish it worked like that here
I wear my Joe Horn jersey every saints game. I loved when Michael Thomas re-created that cell phone celebration against the Rams. Paying homage to Horn! WHODAT?!
Don't think i don't see you skipped on Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram also being in the 2011 class.
Why does keyshawn Johnson have a ultimate legend in Madden 19 but emmitt Smith doesn't smh
Emmitt isn't even top 10 all time. His oLine was though.
Maybe because of licensing.
96 was a good year for NFL and NBA.
For sure
That 2011 qb class LOL I remember that!!!
But Jimmy Smith without injury would be a hall of famer
2011 needs to move up. It's likely going to break the record for Hall of Famers. I'm guessing there are 10-14 Hofers in this class, 8-10 of those are no doubt. They are....
Cam Newton (Maybe)
Von Miller
AJ Green (Maybe)
Patrick Peterson
Julio Jones
Tyrone Smith
JJ Watt (would have made after 7 years)
Cam Jordan
Cameron Heyward
Justin Houston (Maybe)
KJ Wright
Richard Sherman
Jason Kelce
And Chris Harris Jr. Went undrafted.
Cam Newton was the only quarterback drafted in the first round in 2011, who had a great career. All the other quarterbacks Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder were busts.
Newton is a bust too. 1 REALLY good season surrounded by several inadequate ones doesn't make a star. Best qb in that class was Dalton hands down.
Keyshawn, Braylon Edwards. Some of the Jets greats
13:30. Anybody know the name of that track? I think it's an NFL Films one, but no idea what it's called.
2014 is definitely going to be the best of all time
It's not better than 2011
Yeah it is
83
04
11
1983 had great QBS
But anyone want to guess there record in super bowls??
Elway Marino Kelly Eason
2-9
With only Elway winning
That's a good point...
The impressive aspect is the 11 SB starts.
It's remembered for QB's but it also had some great DE's. Charles Mann, Richard Dent, and Leonard Hamilton had 6 SB rings in all.
Weird part was that all those first round QB went to AFC. They dominated that conference, but the NFC always had better teams for next 14 years.
Doesn't matter at all
damn LT just savage " John Y'all got do better than this" 3:51
It’s kind of unfair to mention the drafts before the common era(1967) without including the AFL Drafts along with the NFL Drafts. Ex. Joe Namaith 1965 AFL Draft.
2:43, it wasn't really rare for a QB to not go #1 at the time, though. Between 70-97, a QB was taken #1 overall only 8 times. Since Peyton Manning was taken 1st in 98, a QB has gone #1 the majority of the time. But before that,. only 8 times in 28 drafts.
No QB selected in the entire 1st round though??
@@masonthewarriorful 1996 is generally regarded as one of the worst QB draft classes of all time. Only four of eight drafted quarterbacks ever threw a pass in the NFL, and none made so much as a Pro Bowl. The best quarterback from 1996 - Jon Kitna - was not even drafted and may be remembered unfortunately as the main starting quarterback for the 0-16 2008 Detroit Lions. 2007 - also listed here - was by Pro Football Reference alongside 2013 and 1966 (though the latter is redeemed by undrafted Jim Hart) the worst quarterback draft year since 1961.
Steve Atwater still ain’t giving no love
Every four years or so, there's an excellent draft class. 2014 is a class to look out for.
If they do top 10 WORST draft classes, 2015’s gotta be on there
Cam Newton a HOFer?? Thats a bit early to say for a guy who has no rings and only one Super Bowl appearance and seems to be in decline already.
Lou Zer he has a mvp and he’s not declining he’s been hurt and played most of the year while hurt
Nobody wants him on their team
