dfv87 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Now I am prefacing this with... I KNOW IT IS WAY TOO EARLY FOR ANYTHING DEFINATE, but since my vikes are so hard to watch now... You have... Newton... turning the league on fire. Dalton... Kid just has the looks of a winner/gamer. Gabbert... Mgmt felt strong enough drop Garrard, and he seems to be finding his way. Ponder... I really thought Dalton was a better choice but so far I am drinking the kool aid on him as the future in MN Locker... stepped right in for Hass after the injury and looked pretty good. With this many rookies starting, does this group have the same feel as the big QB class of 83 with stars like Elway, Kelly and Marino and stable Qb like Ken Obrien. Now I am not saying this group will have 3 HOF Qbs but 5 qbs capable of starting as rookies? Seemed rare to me... Looking back at the names in 1983, how many studs are in that 1st round? I Like the last 2 picks Marino and Green! Now that is a deep draft if they go last in the 1st round! 1 Baltimore Colts John Elway QB Stanford 2 Los Angeles Rams Eric Dickerson RB Southern Methodist 3 Seattle Seahawks Curt Warner RB Penn State 4 Denver Broncos Chris Hinton G Northwestern 5 San Diego Chargers Billy Ray Smith Jr. LB Arkansas 6 Chicago Bears Jim Covert T Pittsburgh 7 Kansas City Chiefs Todd Blackledge QB Penn State 8 Philadelphia Eagles Michael Haddix RB Mississippi State 9 Houston Oilers Bruce Matthews OG USC 10 New York Giants Terry Kinard DB Clemson 11 Green Bay Packers Tim Lewis DB Pittsburgh 12 Buffalo Bills Tony Hunter TE Notre Dame 13 Detroit Lions James Jones RB Florida 14 Buffalo Bills Jim Kelly QB Miami (Fla.) 15 New England Patriots Tony Eason QB Illinois 16 Atlanta Falcons Mike Pitts DT Alabama 17 St. Louis Cardinals Leonard Smith DB McNeese State 18 Chicago Bears Willie Gault WR Tennessee 19 Minnesota Vikings Joey Browner DB USC 20 San Diego Chargers Gary Anderson RB Arkansas 21 Pittsburgh Steelers Gabe Rivera NT Texas Tech 22 San Diego Chargers Gill Byrd DB San Jose State 23 Dallas Cowboys Jim Jeffcoat DE Arizona State 24 New York Jets Ken O'Brien QB California-Davis 25 Cincinnati Bengals Dave Rimington C Nebraska 26 Los Angeles Raiders Don Mosebar C USC 27 Miami Dolphins Dan Marino QB Pittsburgh 28 Washington Redskins Darrell Green DB Texas A&M - Kingsville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
