In what world does Donnie shell go 2 rounds before Franco Harris and 3 before John Stallworth?

In a world where SOMEONE remembers his greatness despite his HOF snub.
Dude had more picks than LAKE AND TROY COMBINED......and he is more renown for his run defense than his pass defense.

More 1st team All Pros than Franco and Stallworth COMBINED.

He retired with the NFL RECORD for picks by a SS.

You can make a case for any of these three being better than the others, but when for ONCE someone gives Shell the love he deserves, I'm all for it.

Round 11 for the best safety to ever play the game and round 5 for one of the most dynamic DBs? Pfft.

When you have access to choose any player in the history of the game, there are an awful lot of RB's and WR's to choose from.

Numbers 9, 10, 11 and 12 on the all-time receptions list—Anquan Boldin, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Steve Smith—were not drafted.

Three of the top eight rushing leaders in history—Curtis Martin (fourth), Jerome Bettis (sixth), Frank Gore (eighth)—were not drafted.

Adrian Peterson was not drafted.

Thurman Thomas was not drafted.

Top notch safeties are much more rare than top notch RB's and WR's.

Supply and demand, brother.
