Dan Reeves is the stupidest coach ever. He lost 3 Superbowls with Elway under center? can you imagine that! Stupid,stiff neck, stubborn piece of guttersnipe white trailer trash.
@@gattodiossa7915 The coach isn't throwing the ball, in 2 of those superbowls they scored only 10 points Elway went 14 of 38 in one and 10 of 26 in the other. in case you can't do math that is well below a 50% completion percentage. In fact in the first super bowl he won he only completed 11 of 22 passes
The only thing as wild as the trade is the contract he signed. It had a theoretical contract value of $68M but to get any sizeable chunk of that money he would’ve had to play better than anybody in history ever had for seven years. And even then it’s hard to figure out how it gets to $68M. But essentially you can figure out how to get it to $63M but that would’ve required that he hit 10 or 20 possible incentives all seven years, break the NFL rushing record each of the first four seasons and that absurd performance of those four seasons would have gotten him a huge escalator bonus for the final three seasons. And he didn’t get anywhere close to any of it. There was a study of a bunch of the best running backs in history by using their seven best year stretch of production in their entire careers and what they’d have earned under Ricky’s deal. Emmitt Smith would have earned the most using his stats from 1992-1998 and he would’ve earned roughly $35M of the potential $68M. What shows even more how horrible of a deal it was Ladanian Tomlinsons output for his first seven years, which we all remember how absurd he was, he would have only earned roughly $17M of the potential money. This is a back who had 1,200+ yards each of those years and 10+ touchdowns each of those years and despite being that elite he’d only have made 1/4 of the potential value of the deal. Everything about his career was wild. The trade made for him was absurd, the contract he signed was absurd, and the stop and starts in the league because of his love of the flower was wild.
I remember watching the draft when Ditka made the trade for Ricky. I couldn't believe he gave up all those picks. And I also can't believe the Redskins didn't do anything with them.
To be fair they did get Champ Bailey by using that ammo in trades with Chicago and later got a good player in Lavar Arrington. But overall its shocking they didnt use that to become a great team. It's less shocking that Chicago somehow got a bad QB out of the deal.
Pretty insane to think about, they literally had 2 entire drafts one year, and then half of the teams draft the next year. They drafted like 30 players in a two year span and literally did nothing with any of them.

Well you guys do have 2 super bowls while only being a franchise for about 50 years, considering there are teams that have been around since the beginning and have never even been to the Super Bowl, I’d say that’s not too bad.
How much credit does Sean Peyton get for plugging in Brees to a perfect offense system? Rivers never had a top tier coach after Marty imo, Norv was ok but not what Brees has had his whole career in NO. It's sort of like Brady and Bill, how much do each owe to the others success?
The thing is, Rivers is an amazing QB (just last week he set an NFL record completing 28/29 passes and 25 straight to start the game). The organization (the Spanos family) is just not committed to winning. Having watched the Chargers for years, it's clear that Rivers has done his job and done it well his entire career. It's the team around him that has failed.
Imagine if Brees had stayed with the Chargers to this day and had LT? Oh my him and Keenan Allen and Melvin Gordon? And a really good defense? That won’t choke? Who knows what would’ve happened
None of you have made the point that under Brees the Chargers were last in the 2003 season and got the number 1 draft pick in 2004 in the first place and yet 2 years later they got the number 1 spot in the NFL under River's first year as a starter!
still can't figure out why they didn't just give the guy probation...an let him play an make money...but he was a coach killer....being an Atlanta fan since `66 what got me was trading Bret...but Glanville didn't care for him for some reason...Vick was like Neon Deon under center...exciting as hell.
As a broncos fan first and then a colts fan I'm glad we got Elway... And thank u Redskins for trading the broncos Champ Bailey.. Elway and Bailey r my 2 fav players of all time and I gotta thank the colts and redskins for having them both. I even go for the redskins to win sometimes even tho they blew the broncos out in SB 22 but I was only 9 months old.. Anyways DB4L 🔶🔷
Yeah, but the Express had offered him a 10-year, $40 million contract. That was enough to convince Young to sign with the USFL in early 1984. He agreed to take his payment in the form of an annuity paid out over forty years to help the team. As far as Testaverde, the reason he threw as many picks as he did early in his career is because the Buccaneers figured out he was colorblind. That's why the team always wore white jerseys.
Yeah there's no question. We move up 17 spots that night and pickup the best player to ever play up to this point. 1st year starting: MVP 50, 5000 2nd. Super Bowl and SBMVP. Be more than willing to debate anyone....I'll take Pat!
Imagine if the Chargers had faith in Drew Brees and with that 1st pick they took Larry Fitzgerald Brees Tomlinson Fitzgerald Gates That offense would of been unstoppable
The Great Wee Wee I actually just watched a video can’t remeber who made it, about how during that era they had a year where they were the best team in the league by far and didn’t make the playoffs. (Had the best OER and DER, and outscoring opponents by a huge margin)
Jerry Rice trade... this came about because the NFL was now looking at smaller colleges to compete with the still operating USFL. Roger Goodell was one of the people to go down there to check out this potential WR who was being looked at by USFL teams.
His father is named Eddie, but played in the Arena league. Not the same Eddie Brown that played for the Bengals and went to University of Miami. Antonio's father played for Louisiana Tech.
It involved picks, but I guess this list is only draft pick swaps, not pick-for-player swaps. The Hershel Walker deal is the #1 trade involving picks of all time.
Jay Cutler is an excellent comparison. Cam Newton is another QB that let his ego outgrow his talent. They are all players who are legends in their own mind. The NFL seems to have had quite a few of those. Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt was one and the Rams Lawrence Phillips also comes to mind. Players that have the skill and talent to be the very best in the game but fail to see that hardwork and dedication to your team wins championships. Imagine if Cutler or George had Doug Flutie’s passion and selflessness in playing the game.
Hi @NFL Films, There are no automatic subtitles in this video and neither in the video "Top 10 Draft Moments of All Time". I'm one the hearing impaired that rely on them, and it's easy to put them on. Could you do it ? Thanks
thelovebat absolutely lol. Bills got two really good players to be fair but damn dude the chiefs got a super bowl and a guy that has the potential to be a first ballet hall of famer and one of the greatest qbs ever
@@markedwards5904 You mean the injuries Mahomes suffered this year when his own offensive lineman stepped on his foot and suffering a dislocated kneecap when the Chiefs ran a routine QB sneak that Tom Brady has done all his career?
The Colts pay an arm and a leg to get Jeff George...only for him to end up in Atlanta a few years later. To quote the great Alanis Morissette: "Isn't that Ironic...don't you think?
#9 @ 3:48. I completely forgot about Tommy Maddox playing for the Rams. And ive lived within 30 miles of Pittsburgh all but 6 months of my 41 years. Here i was picturing Maddox being drafted by Denver...washing out...winning MVP in the XFL "season"...signing with the Steelers in 2002, i think it was...running Kordel Stewart off the field...signing for 2 million a season...then washing out again. Funny what people in the background remind you of, isnt it?
Talk to the people in San Francisco about Joe Thomas. He personally engineered the 49ners decline in the mid to late 70s. He was the first one fired when Walsh got there
I love the Bus, he is one of my favorite Steelers, but how the hell is he on here and the Steelers trading up for Polamalu isn’t? He is one of the two best safeties in NFL history(and while many would disagree, I personally would argue he is #1 by at least a thin margin) and he helped us win 2 Super Bowls.
No safety leaps over 2 lines to sack the QB in a single bound. Makes INT's 2 inches from the ground. Comes from off the TV screen to catch speedy WR's and make them look like they are in slow motion. I don't care WHAT Reed or Lott's numbers are, no safety has done the weird, strange, and inhuman things that Troy did. He's the best safety of all time on athleticism alone.
Larry Ball one of the dolphins players went to highschool in my home town. Only 3,000 to 4,000 people live in that town so it is just weird yet inspiring to see somebody make it that far from nowhere.
Bettis trade was a Win-Win. Steelers got their power back, Rams got Ernie Conwell and traded for Marshall Faulk in 99 the Greatest Show on Turf! Both teams ended up with a Super Bowl title because of this trade
Just goes to show that didn't have a clue how to evaluate talent or run a football team. They pissed away their chance with Bo Jackson by ruining his remaining eligibility for college baseball, then they picked Testaverde despite the fact that he threw FIVE interceptions in his last college game in the Fiesta Bowl. The Bucs were so bad back then that Chris Berman used to call the game between Green Bay and Tampa The Bay of Pigs.
I know I’m 6 months late to this. But it’s probably because that really hasn’t played out. These are all from like 15+ years ago. In 10 years from now when he’s a HOFer they’ll probably do another one and include him.
Jerry Rice's case was in hindsight. What I'd find more impressive is how player who gets hyped out of college actually lives up to it with Lawrence Taylor being one of the examples despite his issues.
I like how when people try to dethrone Rice as the GOAT don't realize that playing WR isn't always about running 40 yds downfield and catching a jump ball smh. Rice was great at EVERYTHING and probably had the highest football IQ of any reciever ever.
Do people seriously thinks things would have changed for the Bucs had they kept Young? Trading him was the best thing they could have done for the guy considering how much of a hot mess they were, especially under Culverhouse.
The most underrated of these is the Timmy Jernigan and Mike Wallace Blockbuster (aka the Lamar Jackson trade) Philly traded 5 draft picks for 2 past their prime players including 2 first rounders (2018,2019)
@@munenemathenge8085 I remember seeing this back when I used to go to the library in the 2000s. This was the first ever episode of NFL top ten series this aired in April 2007.
The funny thing about that episode is at the end where they showed Joe Montana laughing to make it seem like he's laughing at Seattle that the pick they got from Seattle was used to get him.
No doubt about that! Problem was that the back half of his career came during the mid 1980s slide and then Herschel Walker joined the team and he got pushed out so people tend to forget how good he was. That 99 yard touchdown run came in a loss after all.
Dennis Williams, I disagree. The falcons were a playoff team when Vick came. Vick is a really good qb. In my opinion the chargers and Falcons won the trade
meh if Vick had continued to play instead of getting arrested I feel it would have been a much tougher call. But LT and Brees are both phenomenal. I just cant believe Brees was looked over so much to be allowed to fall in to the second round. He has always had a rocket for an arm and great awareness even from his college tape. Regardless those were three of the best players of the decade to play the game and I am glad I got to see them all play.
I’m a Raider fan and it’s tough to admit but LT was something else. He wasn’t the toughest back, he wasn’t the fastest, he wasn’t the most powerful , or the quickest, or the best catching the ball. But what he was the best at for his time window was he could do all of the above at the highest level and not many RBs in the league could do that. It may be my biased imagination , but I just remember LT having his best games in the Oakland Coliseum. Down in SD, LT would get his yards , but it was a work in progress. He would pound the rock and then get bottled up for a short spell , and pop off here n there
@@NickWuebker As a niner fan I wanted the niners to take even DeShaun Watson or Patrick mahomes. The 49ers fleece the bears into thinking that they were going to take Mitch trubisky. So the bears gave the 49ers a bunch of picks just to move up one spot to the number 2 pick and the bears took Mitch trubisky. I thought the 49ers are going to take DeShaun Watson with the number 3 pick or Patrick mahomes but they took Solomon Thomas lmao. Also congratulations to your chiefs but Patrick mahomes shouldn't been super bowl MVP. it should have went to Damien Williams the running back who had 115 yards rushing caught 4 passes for 30+ yards and had two TDs. Patrick mahomes had two interceptions and fumbled twice. If Damien Williams was somebody like Adrian Peterson or Marshall faulk he would have got the super bowl MVP.
Even though I'm extremely biased the Bucs 1995 first round should have made this list. Bucs traded down from the 7th to the 12th pick with the Eagles. Bucs had Warren Sapp fall to them at 12. Then they traded what they got from the Eagles to the Cowboys to move back into the first round to select Derrick Brooks.

Yeah, it was only a year ago????
Or when Tampa had those orange and white outfits
"With all those picks, how didnt the redskins managed to become a dynasty?"
Answer: Dan Synder. Fail to the Deadskins!
Look what the cowboys did with the Herchel walker trade 3 superbowls 4 straight NFC championship appearances.
Drew Brees is so iconic in New Orleans sometimes I forget he was on the Chargers.
The Faulk trade worked out well for both teams.
i don’t agree with the statement edgerin james is on marshall faulk level though
It looks like Paul Taglibue can't even believe what the Saints traded for Ricky Williams when he was reading off all those draft picks.
Jeff George =Jay Cutler
PEYTON MANNING ADOPTED 😂😂😂
To think the Chargers could have had LT and Brees for years. Geez.
How much credit does Sean Peyton get for plugging in Brees to a perfect offense system? Rivers never had a top tier coach after Marty imo, Norv was ok but not what Brees has had his whole career in NO. It's sort of like Brady and Bill, how much do each owe to the others success?
The thing is, Rivers is an amazing QB (just last week he set an NFL record completing 28/29 passes and 25 straight to start the game). The organization (the Spanos family) is just not committed to winning. Having watched the Chargers for years, it's clear that Rivers has done his job and done it well his entire career. It's the team around him that has failed.
Imagine if Brees had stayed with the Chargers to this day and had LT? Oh my him and Keenan Allen and Melvin Gordon? And a really good defense? That won’t choke? Who knows what would’ve happened
None of you have made the point that under Brees the Chargers were last in the 2003 season and got the number 1 draft pick in 2004 in the first place and yet 2 years later they got the number 1 spot in the NFL under River's first year as a starter!
Too hung up on stupid ryan leaf and rivers to give brees a chance
I’d love to see this list updated
hate how vick's career turned out woulda won a ring by now
Really? With who?
Korra idk but i just gotta feelimg he woulda won one by now
He had chances with several good teams, none of them could finish sadly
still can't figure out why they didn't just give the guy probation...an let him play an make money...but he was a coach killer....being an Atlanta fan since `66 what got me was trading Bret...but Glanville didn't care for him for some reason...Vick was like Neon Deon under center...exciting as hell.
CarolinaDab 19 Matt Ryan>>>Cam Newton
Julio Jones>>>Kelvin Benjamin
That Eli-Rivers trade is probably top three all time now.
Chris Hinton, the OT involved in the Jeff George trade, was part of the 1983 trade that sent Elway to Denver. Damn.
He's also a Michael Jordan doppelganger
As a broncos fan first and then a colts fan I'm glad we got Elway... And thank u Redskins for trading the broncos Champ Bailey.. Elway and Bailey r my 2 fav players of all time and I gotta thank the colts and redskins for having them both. I even go for the redskins to win sometimes even tho they blew the broncos out in SB 22 but I was only 9 months old.. Anyways DB4L 🔶🔷
Prior to his NFL career, Steve Young was a member of the Los Angeles Express in the United States Football League (USFL) for two seasons.
Yeah, but the Express had offered him a 10-year, $40 million contract. That was enough to convince Young to sign with the USFL in early 1984. He agreed to take his payment in the form of an annuity paid out over forty years to help the team.
As far as Testaverde, the reason he threw as many picks as he did early in his career is because the Buccaneers figured out he was colorblind. That's why the team always wore white jerseys.
11:23 - this little sequence is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Had his line already packed up and gone home?
Best trade on the draft is John Dorsey the GM of the Chiefs at the time trading for Pat Mahomes in 2017
I was just coming here to mention that.
Yeah there's no question. We move up 17 spots that night and pickup the best player to ever play up to this point. 1st year starting: MVP 50, 5000 2nd. Super Bowl and SBMVP. Be more than willing to debate anyone....I'll take Pat!
There talking history not future
@@stevenbrown6720 and we are talking all time
But tbh...only the chefs could make good use of his talents with the coaching. If mahomes came to chicago in that draft...we would of ruined him
I expected to see the Herschel Walker to the Vikings trade. It launched the Cowboys in the early nineties.
11:35 "you know everything"
..."yea" 😂😂😂
Bills Rams n Colts was a massive deal.. helped turn Buffalo into a powerhouse n involved Eric Dickerson in his prime.
Doesn't get much bigger
Imagine if the Chargers had faith in Drew Brees and with that 1st pick they took Larry Fitzgerald
Brees
Tomlinson
Fitzgerald
Gates
That offense would of been unstoppable
The Great Wee Wee I actually just watched a video can’t remeber who made it, about how during that era they had a year where they were the best team in the league by far and didn’t make the playoffs. (Had the best OER and DER, and outscoring opponents by a huge margin)
Brees and LT played together...what are you talking about
Jerry Rice trade... this came about because the NFL was now looking at smaller colleges to compete with the still operating USFL. Roger Goodell was one of the people to go down there to check out this potential WR who was being looked at by USFL teams.
All the love for the Chargers? They're so smart. They're so talented. They make so many good moves. And how many Super Bowls did they make?
1, however with Stan Humphries as starting QB and Natrone Means (Business) as star RB.
37:31 Fun Fact: Eddie Brown actually has a son that also plays wide reciever in the NFL. His name is Antonio, you might've heard of him.
His father is named Eddie, but played in the Arena league. Not the same Eddie Brown that played for the Bengals and went to University of Miami. Antonio's father played for Louisiana Tech.
Ricky Williams was a great running back that had the misfortune of playing for some bad teams. My Dolphins being one of them.
Eli Manning for Philip Rivers was a win-win for both the Chargers and Giants. Both teams found their signal caller for the next decade.
If the chargers weren’t cursed with Marty, they probably could’ve won a ring too.
Around 20:17 does my man lateral towards 😂😂
Herschel Walker trade with Minnesota not even mention?
not a draft trade
It involved picks, but I guess this list is only draft pick swaps, not pick-for-player swaps. The Hershel Walker deal is the #1 trade involving picks of all time.
otherwise the Brett Favre trade with Atlanta would be on here.
Joe Shmoebies No it's literal draft day trades. Thats why Manning for Rivers is on here
Not a draft day trade.
LT was great man.. could rush, catch, even sometimes throw... never got hurt and never fumbled. as a daygo kid, my favorite player ever
Jeff George =Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler is an excellent comparison. Cam Newton is another QB that let his ego outgrow his talent. They are all players who are legends in their own mind. The NFL seems to have had quite a few of those. Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt was one and the Rams Lawrence Phillips also comes to mind. Players that have the skill and talent to be the very best in the game but fail to see that hardwork and dedication to your team wins championships. Imagine if Cutler or George had Doug Flutie’s passion and selflessness in playing the game.
Jay Cutler did way better than George Cutler got into the playoff more times than George did
Archie Lee
Hershael Walker from Cowboys to Vikings. Cowboys drafted a good core of their Super Bowl teams from what they received from the Vikings.

There are no automatic subtitles in this video and neither in the video "Top 10 Draft Moments of All Time".
I'm one the hearing impaired that rely on them, and it's easy to put them on. Could you do it ? Thanks
In about 10 years time when re-evaluating this kind of list, the Chiefs trading up for Patrick Mahomes is going to be on this list.
thelovebat absolutely lol. Bills got two really good players to be fair but damn dude the chiefs got a super bowl and a guy that has the potential to be a first ballet hall of famer and one of the greatest qbs ever
Patrick is a flash in the pan, then he is a serious injury just waiting to happen. The stupid way that He plays
@@markedwards5904 You mean the injuries Mahomes suffered this year when his own offensive lineman stepped on his foot and suffering a dislocated kneecap when the Chiefs ran a routine QB sneak that Tom Brady has done all his career?
Poor suckers.
@@markedwards5904sucker
The Colts pay an arm and a leg to get Jeff George...only for him to end up in Atlanta a few years later. To quote the great Alanis Morissette: "Isn't that Ironic...don't you think?

Wolverine Xk facts

Yeah this video has to be 10 years old. They called the Chargers "the best team in the league" lol
Are we not gonna mention how we saw Drew Brees hurdle a guy in the endzone
#9 @ 3:48. I completely forgot about Tommy Maddox playing for the Rams. And ive lived within 30 miles of Pittsburgh all but 6 months of my 41 years. Here i was picturing Maddox being drafted by Denver...washing out...winning MVP in the XFL "season"...signing with the Steelers in 2002, i think it was...running Kordel Stewart off the field...signing for 2 million a season...then washing out again.
Funny what people in the background remind you of, isnt it?
Kordell played himself off the field.
20:20 that forward pass tho lol
Talk to the people in San Francisco about Joe Thomas. He personally engineered the 49ners decline in the mid to late 70s. He was the first one fired when Walsh got there
I love the Bus, he is one of my favorite Steelers, but how the hell is he on here and the Steelers trading up for Polamalu isn’t? He is one of the two best safeties in NFL history(and while many would disagree, I personally would argue he is #1 by at least a thin margin) and he helped us win 2 Super Bowls.
It was a great trade, but the Bettis trade was outright theft. HOF back and a high 3 for a low 2 and 4.
No safety leaps over 2 lines to sack the QB in a single bound. Makes INT's 2 inches from the ground. Comes from off the TV screen to catch speedy WR's and make them look like they are in slow motion. I don't care WHAT Reed or Lott's numbers are, no safety has done the weird, strange, and inhuman things that Troy did. He's the best safety of all time on athleticism alone.
@3:51 You ABSOLUTELY quit that year in St. Louis. We were glad to see you go.
22:08 In my book, this is the stupidest trade in NFL history.
Agreed
Larry Ball one of the dolphins players went to highschool in my home town. Only 3,000 to 4,000 people live in that town so it is just weird yet inspiring to see somebody make it that far from nowhere.
Bettis trade was a Win-Win. Steelers got their power back, Rams got Ernie Conwell and traded for Marshall Faulk in 99 the Greatest Show on Turf! Both teams ended up with a Super Bowl title because of this trade
Mike Youngblood welllll you can’t forget they lucked out with Kurt Warner becoming one of the best qbs in the league
Erine Cornwell lol come on dude
I mean, Peyton and Edgerrin was dope as hell, but Peyton and Faulk...damn.
Steve Young's reputation with TB, and I recall it vividly, was that he had a noodle arm.
Yeah ok
Just goes to show that didn't have a clue how to evaluate talent or run a football team. They pissed away their chance with Bo Jackson by ruining his remaining eligibility for college baseball, then they picked Testaverde despite the fact that he threw FIVE interceptions in his last college game in the Fiesta Bowl. The Bucs were so bad back then that Chris Berman used to call the game between Green Bay and Tampa The Bay of Pigs.
These would make great what-ifs!
What about the Falcons trading up for Julio Jones?
R u saying that it was bad? He may go down being mentioned in the same breath as a Rice, Moss, Owens etc.
Nicky Robinson That’s why this is called the “top 10 draft trades of all time” not “top 10 worst draft trades”
I know I’m 6 months late to this. But it’s probably because that really hasn’t played out. These are all from like 15+ years ago. In 10 years from now when he’s a HOFer they’ll probably do another one and include him.
its from 2007

I would trade my whole draft for Jerry Rice but not Ricky Williams
I personally don't think jerry rice was the goat he was great but I would rather have randy moss and calvin Johnson
Sideshow Bob moss is the goat
Sideshow Bob if i could go back in time and get any player, id get Lawrence Taylor.
Jerry Rice's case was in hindsight. What I'd find more impressive is how player who gets hyped out of college actually lives up to it with Lawrence Taylor being one of the examples despite his issues.
I like how when people try to dethrone Rice as the GOAT don't realize that playing WR isn't always about running 40 yds downfield and catching a jump ball smh. Rice was great at EVERYTHING and probably had the highest football IQ of any reciever ever.
Do people seriously thinks things would have changed for the Bucs had they kept Young? Trading him was the best thing they could have done for the guy considering how much of a hot mess they were, especially under Culverhouse.
“Idk if any player from the QB position was the fastest player on the field”
*Lamar Jackson has entered the chat*
The most underrated of these is the Timmy Jernigan and Mike Wallace Blockbuster (aka the Lamar Jackson trade) Philly traded 5 draft picks for 2 past their prime players including 2 first rounders (2018,2019)
seattle just got bitc#slapped in that deal i mean the pick they traded ended up being joe montanta lol
I couldn't stop laughing at that. That's got to hurt for a long time.
@@munenemathenge8085 I remember seeing this back when I used to go to the library in the 2000s. This was the first ever episode of NFL top ten series this aired in April 2007.
The funny thing about that episode is at the end where they showed Joe Montana laughing to make it seem like he's laughing at Seattle that the pick they got from Seattle was used to get him.
I'm not a cowboys fan but dorsett maybe one of the most underrated rbs of all time noone talks about this dude and he was pretty dam good
No doubt about that! Problem was that the back half of his career came during the mid 1980s slide and then Herschel Walker joined the team and he got pushed out so people tend to forget how good he was. That 99 yard touchdown run came in a loss after all.
The Chargers got a hall of fame running back.
The Falcons got a guy arrested for dog fighting.
Yeah, Chargers won that trade.
Dennis Williams, I disagree. The falcons were a playoff team when Vick came. Vick is a really good qb. In my opinion the chargers and Falcons won the trade
not exactly... i get what Vick did but he changed that whole city... they were a fun team to watch
Dennis Williams oj
Their HOF RB didn't get them a Super Bowl
Vick was a very subpar QB until he got to the Eagles.
24:22 Exactly! The question that no one asks that also can't answer.
LT and Drew Brees > Vick.
Bestoftherest222
LT > Vick
Brees > Vick
You don't need both of them to be greater than Vick.
LT
Broncos 4L7 your dumb LT was better value then vick
meh if Vick had continued to play instead of getting arrested I feel it would have been a much tougher call. But LT and Brees are both phenomenal. I just cant believe Brees was looked over so much to be allowed to fall in to the second round. He has always had a rocket for an arm and great awareness even from his college tape. Regardless those were three of the best players of the decade to play the game and I am glad I got to see them all play.
L
I’m a Raider fan and it’s tough to admit but LT was something else. He wasn’t the toughest back, he wasn’t the fastest, he wasn’t the most powerful , or the quickest, or the best catching the ball. But what he was the best at for his time window was he could do all of the above at the highest level and not many RBs in the league could do that. It may be my biased imagination , but I just remember LT having his best games in the Oakland Coliseum. Down in SD,
LT would get his yards , but it was a work in progress. He would pound the rock and then get bottled up for a short spell , and pop off here n there
Chiefs trade for mahomes belongs on future lists
Absolutely. People thought the Chiefs were crazy for trading up 18 spots to get him. All I have to say is : Who's laughing now?
@@NickWuebker As a niner fan I wanted the niners to take even DeShaun Watson or Patrick mahomes. The 49ers fleece the bears into thinking that they were going to take Mitch trubisky.
So the bears gave the 49ers a bunch of picks just to move up one spot to the number 2 pick and the bears took Mitch trubisky. I thought the 49ers are going to take DeShaun Watson with the number 3 pick or Patrick mahomes but they took Solomon Thomas lmao.
Also congratulations to your chiefs but Patrick mahomes shouldn't been super bowl MVP. it should have went to Damien Williams the running back who had 115 yards rushing caught 4 passes for 30+ yards and had two TDs. Patrick mahomes had two interceptions and fumbled twice. If Damien Williams was somebody like Adrian Peterson or Marshall faulk he would have got the super bowl MVP.
There talking history not future
35:46 The Patriots were not going to draft Jerry Rice, as they had used the #1 pick the year before on Irving Fryar and had Stanley Morgan.
lol and now Deandre Hopkins is probably like number #1 on this list 👏🤣 steal of the century #firebillo'brien
This is draft trades, Hopkins wasn’t traded as part of the draft
Idiot
The biggest trade ever was Hershel Walker to Minnesota and the Cowboys got the bulk of a Championship team for years.
It's would be hilarious if trubisky ends up on this list in a couple years.
I hope so
Trust me, he’s going to be here. Much as I hate to say it.
MrBlueD3V1L a 2nd and 4th i guess
I LOVE This Clip 😄 Hilarious 11:36
Even though I'm extremely biased the Bucs 1995 first round should have made this list. Bucs traded down from the 7th to the 12th pick with the Eagles. Bucs had Warren Sapp fall to them at 12. Then they traded what they got from the Eagles to the Cowboys to move back into the first round to select Derrick Brooks.
