-Marino fell b/c of drug rumpors- alot of teams passed on him b.c of that.
-Toon was on his way to a HOF career before his injuries so it's hard to fault them for that pick. He wasn't Jerry Rice but was a great WR.
-EVERYONE had Blair Thomas rated highly even Jimmy Johnson said he would have taken Blair over Emmitt had he been available.
These are not HOF numbers:

Jerry Rice had more TDs before the end of his third year than Al Toon had in his whole career.
Doesn't change the fact that Marino, Smith, and Rice looks alot better than O'Brien, Thomas, and Toon
