From the author of "The Perfect Draft" - Who doesn't like getting into an argument with a friend or a sports fan at a bar? This book is the "perfect" vehicle! A listing of the best player of each draft pick, from #1 to #224. Who would you choose as the best #3 pick of all-time? Walter Payton or Joe Greene? Or someone else? Hours of entertainment and contentious quarrels.

This book sets the premise that there could be an ultimate football draft. Using the picks of the past and using those player's career statistics, Nichols selects the best pick out of 7 rounds, for 32 teams each or 224 of the greatest players of all time - forming an ultimate football dream team.

This book was interesting to read and to evaluate the rationale that Nichols used to select the pick. For the first round, he also chose 'Honorable mentions' just because there are so many great players listed there.

The comparisons of the running backs to quarter backs to kickers to defensive ends in the same round made for some interesting discussion. It was also reasonably thought-provoking - definitely memory-provoking...

If you love football, I think you'll enjoy reading this commentary on what would make "The Perfect Draft".
