Teddy's best ever?
Replies sorted oldest to newest
2010 has had the best longevity, although this is the first season that the top 3 picks have been completely healthy.
Hard to find much to hate on this class though. HHCD and Linzzzley look good, Adams and Rodgers are starting to come into their own. Still a lot of questions marks from guys we haven't seen play yet.
Those players just keep falling into his lap...
In one of the McGinn pre-game pieces, an NFL personnel man noted that Ted lost JohnDorsey, Reggie McKenzie and John Schneider in recent years and it would be rather revealing to see how TT did without them and all their experience around. So far its working out OK
Imagine if dum dum Ted had moved up in round 3 and taken Borland instead of Thornton?
Most gurus would have thought TT was nuts had he drafted Linsley in the 1st, but in a re-do anyone think Linsley lasts long? He's sure as hell playing like a 1st rounder.
2013 class:
Datone Jones
Eddie Lacy
David Bakhtiari
JC Tretter
Micah Hyde
Josh Boyd
Sam Barrington
Nate Palmer
Charles Johnson
Kevin Dorsey
Johnathan Franklin
That's pretty strong. Very strong when you put two drafts back to back like 13 and 14.
2005, by a landslide
2014 class looks incredibly good, minus the stink that was the Khyri Thornton pick
Khyri is going to dominate in 2015. Mark it down!
Call me in two-and-a-half years.
2005 - the best QB alive and Nick Collins.
2006 - Hawk, Colledge, Jennings, Spitz, Jolly.
2007 - Jones, Crosby, Bishop
2008 - Jordy, Finley, Sitton
2009 - Raji, Matthews, Lang, Jones
2010 - Bulaga, Neal, Burnett, Quarless, Starks
2011 - Cobb
2012 - Perry, Hayward, Daniels
2013 - Jones, Lacy, Bakhtiari, Hyde, Boyd, Barrington
2014 - HHCD, Adams, Rodgers, Linsley,

I think 13 and 14 end up better viewed in TT's tenure over time, but to me it's too early to put them above some of the others...
