I apologize, I knew this existed and never linked it for any of these.
CFReference has decade-by-decade pages of the consensus AA teams.  Here's 2000-2009

I actually don't remember Larry Fitzgerald in college.  Not sure how much I saw him play, if any.  I saw him a ton in NFL games over the years, which is odd, since I never watched the NFL very much in his playing days.  

Cornerbacks are like wide receivers.....there were so many good ones that I would find any decisions I forced myself to make arbitrary and lacking the appropriate conviction I'd rather have for a list like this.  

That sports-reference.com list isn't too helpful there because it doesn't separate CB and S, and most of the DBs listed that I recognize are safeties.  The ones I know were CBs I probably wouldn't give a first slot to on an all-decade team.  

I would've thought Patrick Peterson was a consensus AA in 2009, but apparently not.  Maybe it took people til his junior year to notice him.  Clamping down Julio Jones for two straight years in '08 and '09 must not have done the trick.

If it helps speed things up,  we could move Robert Gallery from OT to guard,  then put Jake Long in at tackle.

I fought the urge to put Andrew Whitworth in at OT, because I really think I'm factoring in his NFL career.  I don't mean to, but it's all one big blur in my mind with him anymore.  I'm not at all sure he was one of the best two college tackles of the decade.  Likely the best we had in that time span, but best across all teams?  That's a tall order, and unlikely (though I get that it's unlikely for any player to be the "best," yet someone has to be).  

It's harder than my conscious mind wants to admit, to disassociate what I know about players as pros from what I knew about them as college players.

Yeah, if we could move tackles to guard, I would have done it with Arkansas' Shawn Andrews.  Dude was like 360 and MEAN.  I bet if you talked about his mama and jumped out of the way, he could personally remove a big tree stump.

A guard I would put in is Gurode from CU.
