Wherever nikkas need to be told on
this would be the draft detroit ISNT in the top 10 :martin: they draft at 13 and get ULTRA BUST NICK FARELY. NOT JJ WATT OR DAREUS OR VON MILLER...NICK BARELY
Breh :wow: I remember not knowing much about Von and had just seen Fairley beast in the national championship game. I was seriously wondering if we made the right pick even though I felt Von, Fairley, and Dareus were all can't miss. :dwillhuh:
























:whew:

:clap: for em

When you get drafted 1 and 2 you get drafted to some teams that need you in the worst way and that are placing their faith, hopes, and dreams in your hands. They are betting on you being that transformational, franchise player who turns things around and helps them contend for a Lombardi trophy.

There's a lot of nikkas who falter under the pressure. nikkas that just don't reach their full potential and don't meet the lofty expectations.

And then you have nikkas like Cam (your 2015 NFL MVP :salute:) and Von (that's my future HOF, dominant pass-rushing, eccentric LB :to:). nikkas that put they team on they backs and carry them to the muthafukkin Super Bowl. :blessed: The Panthers and Broncos got it right in 2011.

Sure, you can probably do a draft appreciation for any year but I don't know if you'll find another year in which the top two picks (who line up on opposite ends of the ball) have matched up against one another in the final game of the season after leading their teams to the SB.

These nikkas special :wow:

Dab on em, Cam :obama:

Get em, Von :lawd:

So, show your love to Cam, Von, and the rest of the 2011 Class. You got some HOFs, All Pros, Pro Bowlers, One-Hit Wonders, Always Injured, and Busts. We're bout to find out who the best of the best is in SB50. :ohlawd:
And it's possible neither one is the best player from that draft. :wow;

:whoa: Not trying to turn this into that argument of who is the best though, just saying it's arguable.

You good, breh, that's the scary think about it---someone can make the argument for about 10 of these guys being the best and brehs can't look at them too crazy :merchant: I'm just glad my Broncos were able to eat in this feast of a draft

Even in the back end of that draft we ended up with two Pro Bowlers in Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram. 2011 class has potential to be historic one.

Shoot, Seattle got Sherman in Round 5.

You ain't gon give Sherm the nod, too? :mjpls: He's a top 5 corner.
Cam, JJ, Von, Julio are just on another level

Sherm is great but those guys are all top ten quality and clearly separate themselves at their positions even moreso than Sherm IMO
