First a little preamble for anyone that stumbles across this particular thread. When Deacon Jones passed away, Notgoodell and I began a conversation of where Deacon fit amongst others that had played the same position. We both agreed that he was at the top. A few days and several beers later NG suggested that we do an All-Time-Team draft between the two of us.
The parameters would be simple. We are assuming that all players are in their prime. And we're using 180 rules (neither of us believe that Deacon could survive the rules in today's game). We'd select 25 players each, plus a Head Coach. What follows is the ongoing "draft" between the two of us.
Aag: Deion Sanders Deacon Jones Cortez Kennedy Derrick Thomas Mike Singletary Ed Reed Darrell Green Calvin Johnson Dan Marino Walter Jones Russ Grimm Dwight Stephenson Anthony Munoz Barry Sanders Lee Roy Selmon Derrick Brooks Kellen Winslow Sr. Gene Upshaw Alan Page Lorenzo Neal Steve Atwater Michael Irvin Reggie Roby Gary Anderson Tony Dungy
NG: Lawrence Taylor Reggie White Ronnie Lott Ray Lewis Bruce Smith Jerry Rice Kenny Easley Walter Payton Joe Greene Marion Motley Bobby Bell Jackie Slater John Hannah Bruce Matthews Mike Munchak John Mackey Gino Marchetti Sterling Sharpe Rod Woodson Ray Guy Dick Lane Morton Andersen Jonathan Ogden Vince Lombardi Aaron Rogers

I will only add that Mr. Green(e) has an (e) at the end of has hall of fame better than Warren Sapp name. That is all. Oh, and I added Marion Motley tonight so there is that as well. I'm not in the meth or money business, I'm in the GOAT collecting business.

I was a bit premature. There's still one pick remaining.
