Here's the scenario:

You get to pick any 5 players from the history of the NFL, but the rest of your roster is the 2008 winless Detroit Lions.

You need to win at least 10 games or you're fired.

What players do you take?

Lawrence Taylor
Aaron Rodgers
Ogden
Randy Moss
Calvin Johnson





I'm sure I could come up with a better list if I spent more than about 30 seconds on it, but with Rodgers/Megatron/Moss...good luck stopping that passing game.

Keeping in mind that Calvin Johnson was already on that team,

Rodgers
Gronk
Watt
Lawrence Taylor
Deion

You get a great QB, a passing game that can hurt you in the middle and on the perimeter, a hellacious pass rush from the edge and the interior, and a shutdown corner.

1. Peyton Manning - gets rid of the ball quickly. Could really help Roy Williams and mike Furrey be solid complements to Calvin Johnson

2. Larry Allen- teams with Backus to provide a solid left side of the offensive line

3. Reggie White - provides a help to a pass rush opposite a rotation of Cliff Avril and Dewayne White

4. Rod Woodson - spends time at both CB and S as needed.

5. Deion Sanders - shutdown CB who can also provide a boost to special team by returning punts and kicks.

LT Tyron Smith
LG La'el Collins
C Travis Frederick
RG Zack Martin
RT Bryan Bulaga


I would make the best OL and fill in from there. I can run the ball and throw it somewhat. I can find me WR, RB easily, the QB draft one and hope it works. But knowing my OL is solid, I feel good about my offense.


If we are talking all time

LT Erik Williams
LG Larry Allen
C Dermonti Dawson
RG Will Shields
RT Willie Roaf

Having trouble deciding between an elite passer rusher or lock down corner for the last spot... either Julius Peppers or Champ Bailey

Other pick was
