What a weak draft class. Also, holy **** can we not have S.A.S. do another draft, my head hurts from his screaming.

Other than Flagg, I have heard about maybe five guys, including the two top 10 picks that couldn't even get Rutgers in the tourney,

That site also has an AV (Approximate value stat) which kinda akin to WAR in baseball. Brady was an 11 where most elite QB are hitting upper teens to above 20 in their great seasons. Brady was 5th highest on his own team that year and 5 of the top 6 were all defensive guys.

Thank you. Ive been trying to make that point for like 3 years now. People act like Brady was throwing 50tds a season the moment he arrived. It wasnt the case at all. He was winning Super Bowls so I thought he was legit either way, but people seem to forget that he had to win 3 before anyone even put him in the same category as Manning. There were really 2 careers of Tom Brady. The year he threw 50 or whatever TDs and lost the SB was really the first year anyone put him in the same category as Manning. He was just kind of known as a "winner/game manager" on a team with elite defenses.
