Re: All Time Draft Picks 1-32
20. Jack Youngblood, DE, Los Angeles Rams (1971)
This is another one of those spots that has produced some good players, guys like Javon Walker, Adam Archuleta and Steve Atwater. But Youngblood is a no-brainer. A Hall of Famer and five-time All Pro who played in the 1980 Super Bowl with a fractured fibula, he was the essence of today's defensive end – a mixture of strength, toughness and speed that few ends boasted in the 1970s. Twice named NFC defensive player of the year, Youngblood was also a member of the 1970's All-Decade team.
Your telling me that there not been some other, better pick at #20, than a one dimensional saftey? who at best at this point is a journeyman player, and most likley a back up??
