Kelly and Thomas are still around the same place in my mind. It's true that Kelly has accomplished less, but neither has really accomplished anything. We could look back on 2009 as Fred Davis' breakout year, but if this was the breakout for either Thomas or Kelly, they don't have a career. I would place both of them in the top ten, but not the top five for the same reasons.
Rinehart wouldn't be on my list. Rogers wouldn't be on my list. I really don't think I'd even have Ramsey on the list, although you have to get to ten somehow. If it's outcome-based reasoning here, you'd have to consider putting ST on the list, because we didn't get much value out of that pick. Of course, that's not because he was a bust (and neither was Rogers), it's because after we made a pretty good pick, things completely out of the teams control caused him to be off the team after 3.5 years.
Taylor Jacobs should be No 1. Rocky McIntosh would definitely be in my top ten, but closer to Kelly and Thomas than the rest of the list. Durant Brooks can represent the late round picks in the top five, I'm okay with that.
Honestly, Ladell Betts would be in my top five. Second round draft pick who was so valuable that we traded another second rounder along with Champ Bailey to bump him down on the depth chart just two years later. Has had a pretty good career as a backup and part timer since then, but that was a second round selection.
Harrison, Baumann, and Russell all good picks.
And Landry, this is just a bad time to be making a bust list about him. He's an easy target for No. 1 now, and perfectly defensible, but if he plays for us next year, he won't be No. 1 if on this list at all. So I mean, it's an emotional pick. But, it's not like he hasn't earned it.
So Jacobs, Brooks, Russell, McIntosh, Baumann, Harrison, Kelly, Landry, Thomas, and Betts would make up my top ten, I guess.
I dont understand. What's the deal with McInotsh. Remember, there is NO team in the NFL that has all Pro Bowlers. McInotsh is not a great LB, but he is very solid and is a legit starting linebacker.
