Rick Reilly's redraft 2006, 2007, & 2008

Reilly redrafted three years and then distributed points in order to show which teams draft well and which teams do in. He looked for 1st round quality talents that were and were not taken in the 1st.

2006 - Brodrick Bunkley, picked 14th, should have been 219th

2007 - Kevin Kolb, picked 36th, should have been 16th
2007 - Brent Celek, picked 162nd, should have been 29th

2008 - DeSean Jackson, picked 49th, should have been 3rd

Sorry Rick, but I don’t think there were 218 players from the 2006 draft who were better than Bunk. Try again.

Did Bunkley kick Reilly’s dog or something? I don’t get that ranking…

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

im wondering the same thing

The ranking idea makes sense, but his rankings for some players are crap, especially bunks.

Why the fuck is Devin Hester the 8th overall pick? He’s an amazing returner but an average WR at best.

That confused me too. Dumervil, G. Jennings, J. Joseph, Hali, Finnegan, etc. are all better football players.

Who else should have been #1, though? I don’t think it should be Chris Johnson.

You don't think that...

…in a hindsight draft to date, Chris Johnson should be taken ahead of Matt Ryan? Ryan has been over hyped…he’s played average, at best. Chris Johnson is one of, if not THE most lethal player in the NFL today.

Yeah i seen the Bunkley thing too, i was waiting for this thread haha, most of them were awful

moron....

this guy has Michael Huff, Bobby Carpenter, and Ernie Sims as better Pro players than Bunk?

These 3 are total busts. Bunk has been a solid contributer and starter on a perrenial playoff team

I love this idea and I think overall what comes out in the wash here is that there are teams that draft well and teams that don't.

And the teams that draft well tend to be the good teams, etc. But I wish someone other than Reilly would do a really hard, analytical take on this and see what truly comes of it.
