Not a single Buckeye? I'm disappointed.

Not a single Buckeye? I'm disappointed.

For most of the positions, I went with the NFL Draft from 1999-2014. I didn't really go by teams, but by names of those who got drafted. I'm sure it isn't the best one, but I am interested in seeing what other people come up with. I figured I would at least start the thread.

I also tried not to be bias either.

I was just kidding around, nice list though.

Not very often that my Vandals and my Trojans both send the same number of players, but good to see Mike Iupati make the list.

USC had a couple that I had on the first time through, but when I went through the draft a few more times (I went from 1999-2014 three times), I replaced players like Polamalu and Matthews.

Guards were a tough one to find. Those might be the only 2 drafted 1st round. Then the tackles were a tough one to decide, there were a ton of them in the top 10. Centers were just hard to find. Not really drafted that high. Punters were the hardest.

So ALL-BCS, does that mean their team had to make into the BCS period or BCS NCG?

BCS NCG Era.
1998 season (1999 NCG) - 2013 season (2014 NCG

Players on any college football team.

Player needs to have played at least 1 season during BCS Era.

You didn't really pick Eric Fisher, did you? He was never even a consensus 1st or 2nd team All-American. His teams weren't offensive powerhouses. And while he was taken #1 overall, he wasn't a guy with the skills transition right away. He was a below average starter, if not one of the worst in the league.

Meanwhile, Joe Thomas' junior season was similar to Fisher's (All-American but not considered the best). His Senior season, he was a unanimous All-American and dominated his way to the Outland Trophy. He went to the NFL, where he was skilled enough to be voted to the Pro Bowl as a rookie (and every year since). And of course, his teams were dominant run offenses and went 22-4 his last two seasons.

I wouldn't be pissed if you put McKinnie or Joeckel or even went homerish on us and chose Robert Gallery. But Eric Fisher? Really?

Not to be a complete homer but not having Manti Te'o as a LB is pretty ridiculous. He's the only defensive player in the BCS era to win both the Maxwell and Walter Camp Awards. No other defensive player even won one of those. Finished 2nd in the Heisman. Won the Bednarik, Nagurski, and Butkus award his senior year as well. No other LB has those lists of accomplishments.

I'll be homerish too and would put Derrick Johnson over Te'o. DJ won several of those awards and was much more dominating in college than Te'o was, not to mention, DJ is also one of the top 3 LB"s in the NFL.

 

[Codaxx]

At DT I have SUH and John Henderson
DE: I have David Pollack over Clowney. 2 time SEC Player of the Year and won every college defensive reward known to man.
S: Roy Williams over Berry.. that hurt to admit.
LB: Suggs was a DE.. Patrick Willis, Arrington, Derrick Johnson
OT: McKinnie over Fischer
OG: Barret Jones over Iupati..though you could put him at Center. Played all 3 positions and received an award at all 3. deserves to be on the list somewhere
OC: Eslinger from Minnesota

 

[ckhokie]

Michael Vick > Vince Young

Aside from that, good list.

DJ didn't win the Maxwell or Walter Camp award. Te'o won both. Also this is a college list. If not Tom Brady would be one of the QB's. And Te'o has only played one year. Who knows how good he will be.

Eric Berry over Troy Polamalu? College career maybe since Troy was bounced between linebacker and safety.

My thoughts

Takeo Spikes wasn't BCS Era. He was drafted in 1998, making his final season in 1997.

My bad. I would have Willis on the list. Pollack also.. Nobody respects the SEC, I guess
