On defense I would take the '02 D-Line and DB's. Everything else from '07
On offense I would go with CK, '02 recievers, everything esle from '07
I would go with Nuge and Groom in the kicking game.
Its kinda scarry to think that it was tough to make these decisions.

im guessing you mean you have to pick an entire squad and can't pick 1 dl from 02 and another from 07.
qb: ugh... krenzel might have been the worst best qb i have ever seen. boeckman is a better qb. but then, so was mcmullen. gotta give the nod to krenzel. 02
tb: 07. no question. beanie is just as good if not better than moc. wells light + saine is better than ross and hall.
fullback: hmmm, another tough call. i'll go with 07 here.
wr: 07 again. jenkins is the best wr on the list, but robo, hartline and small as a group are much better than the 02 group.
oline: 02.
dline: 02, no question about it.
lb: going with 07 here. unless you let me start hawk over grant, then i might have to rethink things a bit  .
db's: you little sob! i was soooooo ready to jump on 07 till i realized you put the safties into that mix. crap! id have to give it to 02. as a group, they were better.
kicker and punter both go to 02. |

2002 - QB, DL, DB, kicker, punter, and TE (Hartsock -position not listed)
2007 - RB (depth, better attitude), WR, OL, LB
either way - FB

Man was this hard....
QB: Craig Krenzle, he just was so clutch and a tough runner
RB: wow ugh.... MOC was so good, but knowing what happened to him after makes this tough. B/C Beanie is nagging an ankle injury this year... MOC and the 02' boys i guess
WR: Well if i could mix and match that would be sweet, but B/c I can't I have to go with 07 WR's, That might be the toughest one to decide on.
TE: 02 group
OL: 02 group
DL: 02 group
DBs and Safeties: Wow, Doss was so good, for now I have to go with 02 group but it's tough
LBs: No offense 02 group, but 07 group is better IMO
Kicker: Nuuuuuugggg no doubt
Punter: Hmmm Groom won the Ray Guy, so he gets a slight edge over Trapasso.
THIS WAS REALLY TOUGH, BOTH TEAMS ARE SCARY SIMILAR.

Yeah... jwins was just mentioning on the other thread about dpeth in general... and that's what really strikes me here...
I mean... at Linebacker... you had Hawk, Carp etc waiting in the wings in 2002... but...
DB's really... tought to lump them together... I mean... yeah.... Doss, Will Allen, Nickey... really nice group...
But... if we're talking about "This point" in '07 vs '02.... We had some problems... I mean, we had to move Chris Gamble to CB.... and... really that hurt our WR experience level quite a bit... so... 2 positions in '02 that were very shaky because of depth issues... Also... keep in mind that Cie Grant wasn't really a known commodity at LB that season.
This year, though... Piles of WR's, Enough DB's... and.... RB depth? The drop off from MoC to Lydell... was... ummm... precipitous... Keep in mind that Clarret was dinged, too... much of the year (knee/stingers)
Also... as far as QB... 6 games into the season... how was CK really viewed at that point... and... how would he have been viewed had Belisari not gotten nabbed for a DUI the year before and CK didn't have the win over Michigan in his pocket?
And... if you want to worry about TB's picks... How about MoC holding on the the rock?
