Soul-12 All-Decade Teams (2010-2019)

[Paper Tigers]

As the league has arrived at the end of its first full decade I put together a league-wide All-Decade first and second teams based on overall contributions to the league and individual first and second team All-Decade team for each franchise based on the contributions to that franchise. For the two teams that are quite new, just did first teams.


I'm sure I missed some players who are deserving. Sometimes a name that doesn't ring a bell due to time or a failed NFL career actually had better stats that I remembered.


Few Thoughts:

- Definitely see continuity on Draft Crazy's teams. Many of his top players over the decade or players who were in consideration for the team, were there two or three years. Many lesser teams had their best players for just one year.


- While Paper Tigers had Murray, Burrow and Manziel for their Heisman seasons, best QB group had to be Skeet Shooters. Brandon Weeden left off the team. Some of the top players of the decade like Mariota/Cam and Fitzgerald there.


- Hard to say who has best RB group. Mine are good but mostly just one-season guys.


- Best WRs had to be DraftCrazy. Several very good guys I didn't include. Not good that most of my WRs were early part of decade.


- Didn't realize how heavily Drunk Jocks has invested in Wisconsin RBs.


- Has anyone owned a player for four years? I thought maybe I had noticed one but now I don't remember if there was any player like that.


- We are really bad at drafting kickers. The first few kickers drafted every year end up with like 90-105 points it seems like on the season. Normally they are coming off like a 132 point season and then drop back down. Very rare for kickers to maintain 130-140 points for several years.

[Draft Crazy]

Thanks Stevie- This is great. Will add more comments later today when I am a bit more freed up.

 

[BSUSeahawk]

I miss Lamar Jackson...

 

[Draft Crazy]

As far as players playing one one team for 4 years. Here are some I came up with

Asian Alley Cats

James Washington

FR- waiver claim
SO- Drafted
JR- Kept
SR- Kept

Sam Ehlinger
FR-Waiver claim
SO- Drafted
JR- Kept
SR- Kept

Shelton Gibson
FR- RS
FR- played
SO- played
JR- played/declared (Draft 4 times by AAC, but played 3 years if you count the redshirt year as a year not playing)

I remember from other teams
Tim Tebow played on Drunk Jocks for 4 years. He drafted him and kept him 3 years in a row.
Braxton Miller played for End Zone Divas all 4 years. Drafted, kept, kept, re-drafted as WR

I could probably come up with a few more if I tried hard enough.

Shelton Gibson is the only player to ever be drafted by the same team 4 years.



Really appreciate you taking the time to do this Stevie. It is wonderful. Makes the league fun. Even though others aren't responding I can tell you they appreciate it as well.

The only change I may make with my squad is TJ Yeldon over Marcus Coker. Coker had a great FR year then I drafted him his SOPH year and he was so/so, then left the program.

Some players of mine off the top that deserve honorable mention. (But I think you did a really good job of picking my all decade team) guys that are hard to not mention but not really anyone to take off the list to replace them with could be.

QB- Chad Kelly
RB- TJ Yeldon
WR- Kenny Lawler
WR- Isaiah Hodgins
WR- Sage Surratt
WR- Darrin Moore


My WR's have been really good, and you really probably nailed my all decade team. Good job. You even got my kicker right!

 

[TonyStavoli]

Thanks for doing this. Had fun reading it.

 

[JonBlaze]

I had Derrick Henry 2015. Beast. I think he should be my list somewhere

 

[Paper Tigers]

I had Derrick Henry 2015. Beast. I think he should be my list somewhere

Yes, missed that one somehow. Edited in!

 

[Draft Crazy]

This took a lot of time. Just wanted to show Stevie some more love. Everyone appreciates the post draft write ups as well. I get a text from the majority of the league asking if you are going to do this every year. Appreciate it. Makes the league that much better.

 

[TonyStavoli]

Hell yes!
