I think you meant Houston at #9, lol. Just bustin on ya. :tongue:
 
Did you notice that San Diego had THREE shots at Marino and passed him up every time? Unbelieveable!
 
It is difficult to say this, but do you think that had Marino been in those 4 straight Super Bowls, the Bills would have won atleast one. Both Marino and Kelly were very good quarterbacks, and the Bills had a very dominating team back then. I really could not say without a doubt that the Bills would have won with Marino.
 
Didnt San Diego have Fouts at this time. They didnt really have a need a QB and picked possisions that they needed.
 
Wow no less than 6 Hall of Famers in that class.....and Marino dropped from the drug allegations and not injuries.

One of the main reasons Buffalo picked Kelly over Marino was rumors indicated that Danny was going to skip the NFL and go to the USFL while Kelly was suppose to be going to the NFL.

Unfortunately for Buffalo @ the time was the reverse happened to be true.
 
Marino, Elway, Matthews, D.Green, Kelly... That's my top 5, Elway would go #1 in most Broncos fans' eyes
