Was Andrew Whitworth actually the best prospect and player to come out of his draft class despite going 55th overall in 2006? He’s got a strong argument for that and PFF noted on Tuesday that for their system, Whitworth does have the highest grade of any player in the 2006 draft class.
Should the Houston Texans have drafted Whitworth instead of Mario Williams?
