1 OJ Simpson, Terry Bradshaw, Lee Roy Selmon, Earl Campbell, John Elway, Bruce Smith, Troy Aikman, Orlando Pace, Peyton Manning
2 Lawrence Taylor, Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk
3 Anthony Munoz, Barry Sanders, Cortez Kennedy, Larry Fitzgerald
4 Bob Griese, Joe Greene, John Hannah, Walter Payton, Dan Hampton, Derrick Thomas, Jonathan Ogden
5 Deion Sanders, Junior Seau, LaDanian Tomlinson
6 Floyd Little, John Riggins, James Loften, Walter Jones
7 Champ Bailey, Adrian Peterson
8 Larry Csonka, Ronnie Lott, Willie Roaf
9 Brian Urlacher (wins by default)
10 Marcus Allen, Rod Woodson, Jerome Bettis
11 Michael Irvin, Ben Roethlisberger
12 Warren Sapp, Haloti Ngata
13 Fred Dryer, Kellen Winslow, Tony Gonzalez
14 Jim Kelly
15 Alan Page
16 Jerry Rice, Troy Polamalu
17 Gene Upshaw, Emmitt Smith
18 Art Monk
19 Roger Wehrli
20 Jack Youngblood
21 Lynn Swann, Randy Moss
22 Andre Rison (at least his gf burned down his house)
23 Ozzie Newsome
24 Ed Reed
25 Ted Washington, Tim ****ing Tebow (it was close, but I had to go with the guy who actually played)
26 Joe DeLamielleure, Ray Lewis
27 Dan Marino
28 Darrell Green, Derrick Brooks
29 Hakeem Nicks (who else?)
30 Reggie Wayne (who else?)
31 Nnamdi Asamugha (who else?)
32 Logan Mankins
The morel of the story is, take a DT at #12, a WR at #21 and kiss your ass goodbye if you are picking 22 and 25.
