Drag and drop time!
The 2006 draft is one we can still debate from all sort of different angles. A lot of people thought Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler would all turn into quality quarterbacks. Here we are five seasons later and none of the three has proven consistent yet, with one a third-stringer approaching bust status.
So you’re invited to re-rank.
Here’s what I did. Defensive linemen and receivers made a lot more money in my draft.
1. Mario Williams
2. Haloti Ngata
3. Nick Mangold
4. Jahri Evans
5. DeMeco Ryans
6. Brandon Marshall
7 .M. Jones-Drew
8. Greg Jennings
9. Marcus McNeill
10. Jay Cutler
11.Miles Austin
12. Cortland Finnegan
13. DeAngelo Williams
14. Elvis Dumervil
15. Vernon Davis
16. Owen Daniels
17. Santonio Holmes
18. D. Ferguson
19. Marques Colston
20. Tamba Hali
21. Chad Greenway
22. Vince Young
23. Devin Hester
24. Jonathan Joseph
25. A.J. Hawk
26. Joseph Addai
27. Davin Joseph
28. Reggie Bush
29. Antonio Cromartie
30. Matt Leinart
