124 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=ages1/090420&sportCat=nfl Oh how awesome ESPN is. 17. Jets: Michael Vick, QB, Virginia Tech Team needs: quarterback, wide receiver, defensive end No doubt this is a risky pick, considering Peyton Manning and Terry Bradshaw are still on the board. On one hand, Vick offers a tantalizing combination of athleticism -- a 4.33 time in the 40 and a 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Laughable. Should Joe Namath not be on that list? Vick over Manning? LMAO ESPN is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Read the entire thing before you criticize. What if we could hop in a time machine and bring back all the best prospects in history for this year's draft? Of course, professional accomplishments don't count. This exercise is based strictly on the scouting reports at the conclusion of college careers. Our big board is an amalgam of only the most ballyhooed prospects. With a few exceptions, these are players who were drafted in the top five overall. Players such as Joe Montana and Tom Brady, who were seen as too physically limited by many evaluators, need not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 5. Cincinnati - Tony Mandarich. I get it, it's supposed to be a "funny" mock draft. The theory being that Cincinnati always stinks and drafts nothing but busts so they would **** up and take Mandarich with all the players in history and nothing but their college resumes available to them.

aec4 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Read the entire thing before you criticize. Peyton Manning in college > Vick in college. However, I'll say this. This mock draft is about as useful as the REAL ones people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Read the entire thing before you criticize. I know, I had read it earlier, it's still a joke. Vick was not a better prospect than Manning. He was a huge question mark even then despite his great skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Peyton Manning could never win the big game, despite all the NFL talent he had around him. Vick was viewed as a multi purpose threat. Its quite simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Peyton Manning could never win the big game, despite all the NFL talent he had around him. Vick was viewed as a multi purpose threat. Its quite simple. But nobody held it against him because they knew his team was outgunned. No way Vick ever gets drafted ahead of Manning unless its by someone smoking a whole hell of a lot of crack.
