SI did a redraft of the 1998 draft

[SudsMcBucky]

The Packers did pretty good, drafting 2 of the top 32 players, Hasselbeck now considered the #3 pick in the draft and Vonnie Holliday the #32 pick. Also, the Pack traded Fred Vinson for the #19 pick in that draft, Ahman Green.

Somebody knew what they were doing back then.

I'd take Ahman over a couple of guys ahead of him... Samari Rolle and Greg Ellis. Ellis has been a nice player, but never considered near the top at his position. Rolle had a few good years and has been living off his reputation since.

Fred Vinson, we hardly knew ye'. And your fragile feet.

Brian Griese ahead of Woodson????

Brian Griese ahead of Woodson????

yea wtf is that... Woodson should be top 10... He was awesome when he was a raider, just because the whole team sucked doesn't mean he sucked...

FK these rankings!

Brian Griese ahead of Woodson????

Griese is totally overvalued here, yes. But I think they're really trying to make a point about Woodson, that he didn't perform up to his reputation during what should have been his prime years. I rarely saw him play so I couldn't argue with that, but it certainly goes with the reputation he acquired in Oakland, whether justly or unjustly--often injured, soft, not a leader. I would leave Woodson where he is and bump Griese down to 31.

I was pretty surprised Ahman ended up at 19. That's way too low.
