With Darrelle Revis retiring today I saw the question posed of who was the best player from the 2007 Draft, now that all 4 are retired.
Revis, Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas or Adrian Peterson?
Not a bad top 4. Hell, without doing the research you'd be hard pressed to find a better top 4 in any draft. All in all that was a hell of a draft. Beyond them you have Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, Lawrence Timmons, Michael Griffin, Reggie Nelson, Brandon MEriweather, Joe Staley, Greg Olsen, Paul Posluszny, Eric Weddle, Zach Miller, LaMarr Woodley, Marshal Yanda. Bunch of All Pros, and some future HOF there.
And there weren't diamonds in the rough, thoese were guys living up to expectations. Every name mentioned was in the top 86 picks (early 3rd round), and all but Yanda were in the first 46.
Only negative you can say is it was a historically bad QB draft, with Jamarcus Russell #1, Brady Quinn later in the 1st, Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Drew Stanton in the 2nd, Trent Edwards in the 3rd, Isaiah Stanback, Jeff Rowe, Troy Smith, Jordan Palmer and Tyler Thigpen to round it out. None ever reach a Pro Bowl, or really became a full time starter.
