Saw this at the KFAN forum (Twin Cities radio station). Their picks were horrible, but it's an interesting conversation that I think we had a long time ago.
My All-NFC North Team (best attempt to keep the homerism out of it)
QB Brett Favre - the QBs in the division still mostly stink after Favre
RB Thomas Jones*
FB William Henderson - the fact the Vikings went after Henderson and then Tony Richardson should tell you all you need to know
WR Donald Driver
WR Roy Williams - close between him and Muhsin Muhammad
LT Chad Clifton - I could see Bryant McKinnie here also
LG Steve Hutchinson
C Olin Kreutz
RG Damien Woody
RT Mark Tauscher
DE Adewale Ogunleye
DT Pat Williams**
DT Shaun Rogers
DE Aaron Kampman - Alex Brown was a consideration
SLB Boss Bailey - weak crop of SLBs
MLB Brian Urlacher
WLB Lance Briggs
CB Al Harris - Dre Bly, Nathan Vasher, Charles Tillman got consideration at corner
CB Antoine Winfield
SS Darren Sharper
FS Nick Collins
K Ryan Longwell
P Chris Kluwe - I have doubts about him this year (returning from an injured knee), but the other punters in the division stink
* Tough one. If healthy, I'd take Ahman. Thomas Jones was the best back last year, but he hasn't strung together back-to-back good seasons. Chester Taylor and Kevin Jones are still question marks.
** I'm guessing Kevin Williams will be here this year, but Pat was a monster last year, so I have to give him his due.
