Is this even a discussion?

Larry Allen

 

[SFloridaCowboy]

You missed my point completely. I provided fellow fans a list of the best 2nd rounders in the past 50 years, 20 of them, not exactly with ratings, but with Larry Allen of course at the top. The list was provided so they can see among them are many offensive linemen (6), LB's (5) and the emptiness of 1976-1987 when Gil Brandt et al were terrible drafters, especially in the 2nd round, and drove the team into the ground.

So are you saying that Larry Allen is the best because he's listed at the top of your list?

If so, then, you are correct. I misunderstood your post.

My bad.

Whoa......nice list, but after just one okay season, you sure put Diggs high on that list.

"Whoa......nice list, but after just one okay season, you sure put Diggs high on that list."

I have inside info for you on T Diggs. He worked out before training camp in Miami at a special football field and performance center, one on one with his brother Stephon. That give T Diggs a big advantage going into his second year. Now, 2012 he will be a star.

I loved Mel. A true shutdown corner. The best athlete on the field.

With all that credit due, you failed to read the parameters of this posting, 1970-2020. Mel was drafted in 1964.
