I would go Alan Page in the 1st and Matt Blair in the 2nd, but the other picks look about right.

agreed.
it will be tough for Peterson to have the full career achievements that Page had.

It would almost have to be Alan Page in the first. You can't pass up a talent like that, especially in a position as important as DT.

Umm, Carl Eller? He would dominate even in todays game. Back when an average ST was 6'2" 270lbs he was 6'6" 280 and carved from marble.

Alan Page in round 1, and not even close. One of the best DT ever. Peterson has a LONG way to go to even come close to him.
Young'ins...

| Kleinsasser was good, but if he's our best 2nd round pick of all-time, well, let's just say that explains a lot. |

2nd round alternatives:
Lots and lots of trades of twos (including for Zimmerman....)
Ed White
EJ Henderson (nope, not long enough)
Sammy White
round 4:
Winston looks like the best
Mewelde Moore
Ray Edwards
Brian Robison
Wow, they such at round 2.....really, I just read through them all, and there aren't many guys that started more than a couple of years other Kliensasser.
Seriously, this is exactly why teams should be more willing trade draft picks for proven veterans. Go look at the lists....brutal.
