Biggest NFL Draft snub?

[Chi City 81]

Who are the best undrafted players in history?

Night Train Lane? Antonio Gates?

Willie Parker is now making a solid case.

Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, Adam Vinatieri ...

Warren Moon wasn't drafted? At all? I knew he was more or less passed over and forced to Edmonton, but damn, looking back on that you just shake your head.

If that's the case, the list starts with Moon and Night Train at the top and no one else is even close.

He didn't want to switch positions coming out of U-Dub, so no one took him.

[Tom Petty]

Troy Smith.

He's positioned nicely to take over the helm of a team with a TRADITION for being ferocious.

never fail to prove your stupidity, do you?

Can you really call Gates a draft snub? I don't even think he played football in college.

How about Charlie Ward? I know he decided to play basketball and that led to him not getting drafted, but some thought he would have been an outstanding QB in the NFL despite being about 6-foot or so.

Troy will have the LAST LAUGH!

Brady Quinn is going to be a BUST, and Troy offensive line WILL protect him and his defense will continue to destroy other teams.

Troy was snubbed until the end of the 5th round by HACKS!

Troy was snubbed because the scouts couldn't find him. He was still busy picking grass out of his teeth after the national championship game.

I thought Rory Johnson (LB from Ole Miss) would get drafted. At one point he was the fifth-best linebacker in the draft according to Kiper. Character issues were apparently a problem, but it didn't seem worse than other guys who did get drafted.

I thought John Stocco should have gotten drafted. He is a better pro prospect than Bollinger or Sorgi.

 

[Hammer Pants]

Chris Leak is 5-11. He's not slow, but he won't take a hit.

 

[Hammer Pants]

I know he was the third-stringer on his own team, but I thought someone would take a chance on Danny Ware ... then again, a lot of talented tailbacks weren't drafted. NFL teams are starting to realize how dime-a-dozen 95 percent of tailbacks are.

Same here hammer pants. Ware was outstanding as a freshman, but injury problems really set him back. And he didn't like that he lost his job so he was in Richt's doghouse. Did he catch on anywhere as a FA?

Was Pittsburgh's Tyler Palko in this year's draft? That would be another one.

Danny Ware went to the Titans.

In a few years, I think we're going to realize that Georgia's tailback roster from last year (Kregg Lumpkin, Thomas Brown, Danny Ware, Knowshon Moreno) was really, really talented, like nearly in the same class as the SEC's other ridiculous tandems of the past 15 or so years... Patriculary Tennessee's ridiculous run of them in the 90s...

Auburn ... Ronnie, Cadillac, Lester
Tennessee ... Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, Shawn Bryson, Travis Stephens
Tennessee ... Cobb/Webb
Tennessee ... Charlie Garner, James Stewart, Jay Graham (damn Fulmer had a lot of freaking talent all over the field in the 90s ... one national title wasn't enough)
LSU had some tandems, too...

Also, UGA and Tennessee are both loaded with potential future tailback draft picks next year. Coker from Tennessee has got to be one of the fastest players in the country.

Palko went to the Saints as an undrafted free agent.
