What if the Packers had drafted Barry Sanders instead of Tony Mandarich. Being in a more competent organization probably extends Sanders career a handful of years and would ultimately have been paired with Favre two years after being drafted.

I've thought if that many times. Favre, Sanders and Sterling Sharp on the same team? Yes please.
Speaking of Sterling, he's another that had his career cut short when he appeared to be an all time great.

The fault in this “what if” is making the assumption that the Packers were competent when Mandarich was drafted. If they would’ve drafted Sanders then maybe they go 8-8, Lindy Infante and Tom Braatz are not fired, the front office isn’t restructured the way it was, Ron Wolf and Mike Homgren are hired elsewhere….so no Favre, no Reggie White. They would’ve been maybe a wild card qualifying team with weak armed Majkowski throwing to Sharpe and handing it off to Sanders without the impact of having a Reggie White there to convince guys like Santana Dotson and Keith Jackson that Green Bay was a good place to play.

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf: if his health and politics did not determine his NBA future, I could have seen him being in the pro basketball Hall of Fame.
