Part I: Senior All-Americans (2004)
So it’s fun to see the All-American teams, and see who gets selected for the Pro-Bowl, but rarely do you get to see Pro-Bowl rosters ranked year by year like All-Americans. I figured I’d select what would be considered Freshman through Senior Year guys by their draft class.(1-4th year NFL players) Rankings are based on this yr, not their career. This is Part I of a IV Part series.
QB- Big Ben, Steelers,13th
RB- Steven Jackson, Rams, 24th- Almost went with Derrick Ward this yr- 235th
WR-Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals, 3rd
WR-Roy Williams, Lions, 7th
TE- Kellen Winslow, Browns, 6th
OT-Max Starks, Steelers, 75th
OG-Chris Snee, Giants, 34th
C-Nick Hardwick, Chargers, 66th
OG-Jake Scott, Colts, 141st
OT-Shaun Locklear, Seahawks, 84
DE-Jared Allen, KC, 126th
DT- Vince Wilfork, NE, 21st
DT- Tommie Harris, CHI, 14th
DE- Will Smith, NO, 18th
MLB-DJ Williams, DEN, 17th
OLB-James Harrison, Pitt, Undrafted
OLB-Karlos Dansby, AZ, 33rd
CB-DeAngelo Hall, ATL, 8th
CB- Jabari Greer, Buf, Undrafted
FS- Gibril Wilson, NYG,136th
SS-Bob Sanders, Indy, 44th
Junior Class will follow shortly, but for now let me know if there’s anyone on this roster you might change.
Nice list.
The Chargers got Nick Hardwick (3), Shane Olivea (7), Michael Turner (5), Igor Olshansky (2), Philip Rivers (1), Nate Kaeding (3), Shaun Phillips (4), and Wes Welker (undrafted) from this draft class. With the other pick they got from NYG in the Rivers deal they took Shawne Merriman in 2005. Not bad.

The One guy I left off this list who probably should be on over Snee or Scott is Shaun Andrews(Eagles) who is a Pro-Bowl reserve for the NFC.

I think I would have considered Willie over Jackson, Welker over Roy, and possibly changed some of the linemen/linebackers although that would be tough without simply looking at a stat sheet, which I think is unfair at those positions moreso than RB/WR/QB.
