The Gipper Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Here we are going to do a 33 pick draft.....an All Time NFL draft. Have different people sign up.....and do a 1 round draft......1-33...in which the people in order can pick the player they want to draft. I will start on this specific thing. You can pick ANYONE who has ever played in the NFL (or AFL). Drafting starts when all positions are taken. For now, just choose one spot. If we don't get 32...then we can duplicate. Drafting will start when all 33 positions taken. Of course...I get the #1 spot I am editing this post to insert all the selections now that we have started. 1.

Poetic G............Otto Graham QB Cleveland Browns 8. Come On Man....Reggie White DE Philadelphia Eagles 9. Bob806..............Walter Payton RB Chicago Bears 10. Suomi..............Bo Jackson RB Raiders 11. Browns Mopar...Jerry Rice WR SF 49ers 12. The Gipper.......Dick Butkus LB Chicago Bears 13. Boo?...............Bruce Smith DE Buffalo Bills. 14. Texas Ag........John Unitas QB Baltimore Colts 15. Ghoolie..........Mike Webster OC Pittsburgh Steelers 16.MLD Woody....Peyton Manning QB Colts/Broncos 17.

Ghoolie..........John Kolb OL Pittsburgh Steelers 27. MLD Woody...Charles Woodson, FUM (as to him it did not matter what pro team he played for.) 28. Marcus..........Bruce Matthews OG Houston Oilers 29. Poetic G........Ozzie Newsome TE Cleveland Browns 30. Comeonman..Aaron Rodgers QB Green Bay Packers 31. Bob806..........Thom Darden DB Cleveland Browns 32. Suomi............Anthony Munoz OT Cincinnati Bengals 33. Browns Mopar...John Elway QB Denver Broncos When it starts, you will be able to pick any player that has played in the history of the NFL. I will edit this post to reflect the choices requested.

Tony Gonzales TE Chiefs/Falcons 37. Fritz Pollard QB/HB Akron Pros 38. Deion Sanders DB Falcons/49ers/Cowboys etc. 39. Bob Gronkowski TE Patriots 40. OJ Simpson RB Buffalo Bills 41.

MLD Woody Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'll do it. #5 My modern team will crush Gipper's vaguely athletic guys from the 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'll do it. #5 My modern team will crush Gipper's vaguely athletic guys from the 40s You don't get a team, you get one or two players. And name me anyone that has ever played that is capable of crushing Jim Brown....IF that is who I decide to choose (not guaranteeing it at this point). And what if I decide to crush Boo's dreams by taking Tom Brady first? He IS one of 3-4 that I am considering. (Its good to be the king and holding the #1 pick). Are you going to brag about crushing Tom Brady? HAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well I would take Brady if he's there at 5. Arguably the greatest player in NFL history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 We should do SEVEN rounds and then at the end compare our assembled teams and run a vote on which team the forum thinks is the best 7 man team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 If we end up with two each, then give me #32 as well. I like the idea of choosing "Mr. Irrelevant" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of choosing "Mr. Irrelevant" I think I will go ahead and start letting people sign up for a second pick.

Not sure why some people who are posting regularly are not signing up for this very simple venture. Maybe because you left folks like me off of your original list? Put me down, I'm in.

My original list has been updated the whole way as people signed up. The only name on the original list was my own...then I added Boo...because his thread inspired this one. I will put you down in the next slot. #9 pick. Let me know if you want another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Well I would take Brady if he's there at 5. Arguably the greatest player in NFL history Arguably....and because of that I don't think he makes it to #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just as a reference....this from just 3-4 days ago, listing the 10 greatest players of all time.: http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/10-greatest-nfl-players-of-all-%C2%ADtime.html/?a=viewall While undoubtedly a nice list, there are some flaws: Otto Graham in not in there...and Tom Brady is only ranked #9. Unitas and Montana ranked ahead of both of them. I think what will happen is that I will get this party started on Monday. That way all y'all have the whole weekend to sign up to make a pick or two.

PoeticG Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe we need to get this pinned to the top of the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I will proceed to get this started today And how about we do it this way: 11 people have signed up in this order: 1. The Gipper plus #12 and #23 2. Boo... gets #2...if he wants it. plus #13 and #24 3. Texas Ag plus #14 and #25 4. Ghoolie plus #15 and #26 5. MLD Woody plus #16 and #27 6. Marcus plus #17 and #28 7. Poetic G plus #18 and #29 8. Come On Man plus #19 and #30 9. Bob806 plus #20 and #31 10. Suomi plus #21 and #32 11. Browns Mopar plus #22 and #31 What we will do is to just carry that order out through a 33 pick round (rather than 32). so that each of the 11 have 3 picks, if they want, so I will have #12, Boo #13 etc. see above for the picks each of you has. If no objections, can we do it this way? I will start today around noon..or before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 OK, Time to get this party started: With the First overall pick of the All Time NFL back.....the choice is: Jim Brown, Running Back, Cleveland Browns It seems like you may think that this was a foregone conclusion....given that I am a Browns fan and a idolator of Jim Brown...but it was not that simple. I fully considered at least 3 other players: another Brown: Otto Graham (and I was thisclose to picking him...plus Jerry Rice and Tom Brady.) But I guess in the end you can say that I went with my heart. Boo is "on the clock". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
