Re: I remember this draft, was in NYC and watched them take Gaston Green

Remember it well. That was, I believe, the very first "green room slide" draft. Thurman Thomas was expected to go in the first round and they kept flashing to him as he was being passed up, completely miserable, as you would expect. Was even snoozing, at one point.

Buffalo finally took him and they got the best back in the draft.

  That draft..... one of the two bodges

OzRam54May 02, 2023 06:13AM

  Yes, I saw three names - Thurman, Ironhead and John Stephens

JimYoungblood5343May 02, 2023 10:12AM

  had plenty of draft capital to move up for Michael Irvin

  1st round was disaster, have to disagree some about rest

  I'm not sure if Thurman Thomas would have helped either.

  You nailed it. He wasn't even a football fan. He loved St.L Cardinals

JimYoungblood5339May 02, 2023 10:15AM

  He asked Greg Bell who was best RB--said Thurman, Rams took Gaston

JimYoungblood5340May 02, 2023 10:17AM

  I REALLY REALLY wish the Rams had hung on to Bell and Holohan while retooling.
