SI tried to boil down the NFL draft by the single best selection ever taken in each slot of the first round. The best #1 overall pick? John Elway. That's obviously impossible to argue with since he is considered by many to be the greatest QB ever. They said that someday #18 might enter that discussion. Marvin was selected the best ever #19 pick.

Baltimore Colt great Lenny Moore also made the list, which raises the question, should we recognize him here at 18to88.com? The answer, no. The fans and ex-players in Baltimore have made it abundantly clear that they are bitter fools. They don't want to acknowledge that the Colts are here, while they have their own hypocritical Ravens. If they ever decide to start being civil, we'll be happy to list accomplishments of Baltimore Colts greats. Until that day, screw 'em.

HA - well said about Baltimore fans.
I hate to use this comparison, but the the Baltimore - Indy rivalry has officially reached that "awkward divorce stage." Even though the divorce was years ago, you still have to see the other person a lot because you share the kids (i.e. the records, history, past players). One side stopped sweating years ago years ago (probably because they were the one who ended it), but the other person is still really bitter and even though they have a great job (i.e. a Super Bowl win) and a more recent divorce (a stolen Cleveland team) they can't let go of the past. Also the bitter Ex keeps losing to the other in annual cribbage tournaments (football games).
