Gary - I agree; however, your politically correct whiners would run him out here as well.... After all, a football player is not allowed to make a mistake 6 or 7 years ago in his youth without someone throwing it in your face.

Russ, that's pretty cool. When I first read your topic title, I thought "holy crap... who could we possibly both know?"
Several teams walked on Moss, but I get your point. Ah well. |

Wouldn't Denver have had to trade up to get Moss in the 98 draft?

Was 98 the year they drafted Al Wilson as their 1st rounder as the last pick in the 1st round?

Nevermind, that was 99. Marcus Nash was in 98. Did he go before Moss?

no, Den had the last pick in the 1st...they won the SB.
They would have had to move up before the 21st pick to get Moss. Probably few takers. |

Kevin Dyson was the only receiver taken before Moss in that draft if I recall correctly.

I still find it hard to believe that 20 players were drafted ahead of Moss.

Denver didn't have a shot at Moss without trading up.
That's interesting on Davis, though. The funny thing about him is the whole '6th round legend' thing has sort of taken a life of its own. I usually pay close attention to the draft and I remember Davis well. The book on him was that he was a sure fire 3rd round or earlier pick if not for the bad mouthing Ray Goff did about him. Thus, he didn't just come out of nowhere. Scouts knew he had tremendous vision and football sense and good cutback ability. They just didn't know if he had the right attitude or if he wasn't injury prone. Thus, he fell. |

I know the Raiders traded up to get a second pick in the 1st round to try and get Moss.
Minny crossed us up by taking Moss 1 pick before us... We ended up doing a KC impression and taking an O-Lineman (Mo Collins) to go along with our other draft pick Chuck Woodson.... A draft of Woodson and Moss would have been sweet. |

Guys - I never said Moss was available when DEN picked... My daughter's teacher stated that they had an opportunity to trade up.
I just thought the guy was very interesting as an individual. He could almost make one like a den player or two - almost. |
