2013: Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
Even though the Bengals already had a good tight end, this still turned out to be a pretty nice pick. Eifert started 15 games and caught 39 balls for 445 yards and two touchdowns. While he wasn’t an immediate star, Eifert was a very solid contributor as a rookie and he’s a guy you expect to continue to improve. If a guy like this was sitting around at No. 21 this year, you’d have to think the Packers would be pretty happy taking him. They need a tight end and Eifert has already posted better statistical numbers than the Packers current top tight end, Andrew Quarless.
That is actually a pretty impressive list.
Yeah, it really is. Damn.
Agreed. I saw this list over the weekend, and it immediately struck me that basically every pick was a good player, with only Matt Jones being the obvious bust.
Yeah, but would he have been at QB? A 6-6, 245 lb, 4.3 40 QB…Jesus H Christ
Meant that to be replyed to you Iltarion
Haha… Jones was probably discriminated against.
He was too athletic to play QB. Sound familiar?
However, being a blow-addict a franchise QB does not make.
Here’s more useless info. The 21st position has produced a Pro Bowler 30% of the time in the last 20 years. That’s better than the 22nd position, which produced zero Pro Bowlers for 17 years straight. Vince Wolfork and Randy Moss are the two names that standout who were taken at the 21st position.
