I took some heat for predicting 6 RB's in round one. So, I backed off. But it got me wondering, "when was the last time that that happened?" To my knowledge, it was 1990.
What I found most interesting in that particular draft was that the 1st RB
off the board was a total bust (Thank you, Jets)! Which got me to wondering who might be this year's Emmitt Smith, who ridiculously fell to 17 overall?
I won't presume to answer it. I just thought it interesting, in a coincidental kind of way.
Keeping with that way of thinking, I liked that Junior Seau was not the first but the second LB off the board. That would appear to look good for the Patriots, who apparently passed on Rivers in favor of Mayo. Mayo, btw, I
had rated in the top 12 (wanting to push him higher) until challenged on it.
Congrats to those who stood their ground and called the right picks. Regardless, it's a very exciting and interesting draft class (including UFA's).
