Well I got good reception from the first one so I decided to do this one today. If you weren't able to read the first one here is a link.

Greatest Picks from 1956-2009 picks 17-32. I used Wikipedia to do most of this but when I came to a tough one I used NFL.com.

Here we go 17-32 after the jump

17. Emmitt Smith RB Dallas Cowboys(Minnesota Vikings) 1990/ Gene Upshaw OL Oakland Raiders 1967

18. Paul Krause DB Washington Redskins 1964/ Art Monk WR Washington Redskins 1980

19. John Mackey TE Indianapolis Colts 1963/ Marvin Harrison WR Indianpolis Colts 1996/ Randal McDainel OL Minnesota Vikings 1988

20. Jack Youngblood DL Los Angeles Rams 1971/ Forrest Gregg OT Green Bay Packers 1956

21. Randy Moss WR Minnesota Vikings 1998/ Lynn Swann Pittsburgh Steelers 1974

22. Percy Harvin DUH! WR Minnesota Vikings 2009/ Andre Rison WR Indiapolis Colts 1989

23. Ray Guy P Oakland Raiders 1973/ Ozzie Newsome TE Cleveland Browns 1978

24. Ed Reed S Baltimore Ravens 2002/ Steven Jackson RB St Louis Rams 2004

25. Ted Washington DL New England Patriots 1991/ Santonio Holmes WR Pittsburgh Steelers 2006

26. Ray Lewis LB Baltimore Ravens 1996/ Yea there's no one to even compare to him

27. Dan Marino QB Miami Dolphins 1983/ Once again no one to compare

28. Derrick Brooks LB Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1995/ Darrel Green DB Washington Redskins 1983

29. Fran Tarkenton QB Minnesota Vikings 1961/ Dave Wilcox San Francisco 49ers 1963

30. Sam Huff LB New York Giants 1956/ Reggie Wayne WR Indiapolis Colts 2001

31. Nnamdi Asomugha DB Oakland Raiders 2003/ Jimmy Johnson DB San Diego Chargers 1961

32. Bob St. Clair OL San Francisco 49ers 1953/ Drew Brees QB San Diego Chargers 2001

For Revenge4Favre

33. Brett Favre QB Atlanta Falcons 1992

I had trouble with pick number 24, It was a little difficult, but ultimately I picked Ed Reed. For number 17, I just thought I'd remind you all about the TRADE. :'(

On number 32 I made an exception to the year rule becuase there are not that many great players picked at 32.

Teams with number of picks on my lists:

0- Bengals, Cardinals, Eagles, Jets, Jaguars, Panthers, Saints, Seahawks, Texans

1- Bills, Broncos, Lions

2- Browns, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Dolphins, Falcons, Giants, Ravens, Oilers/Titans

3- Chargers, Packers, Patriots, Raiders

4- Bears, 49ers, Rams, Redskins, Steelers,

5- 0 teams

6- Colts

7 & 8- 0 Teams

9- Vikings

Now I may be biased, but it looks like the Vikings, Colts, Bears, 49ers, Rams, Redskins, and Steelers have had the best draft picks.

Lemme know how I did in the comments.

Its Oblivous

We have done a solid job from the get go. I realize we have yet to win the big one, but look over the years how many times we have been to the playoffs. The early years were tough but since the late 60’s until now we have been a pretty good year in and year out. We have had a handful of really bad teams. The Les Steckel 3-13 team comes to mind. The Vikes have had 6-10 teams but that’s far from being one of the worst in the league. I don’t have the stats in front of me but if I’m not mistaken I believe that from 1961 until now we have been to the playoffs more than any team in the league. Maybe Dallas has more but I know we have to be at the top of the list or pretty darn close.
