I think 2019 the WR group was very good but the DL is all-time-great. Nick Bosa, Quinnen Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Jeffery Simmons, Brian Burns, Rashan Gary, Montez Sweat, Josh Allen (the OLB). And that's just the first round.
I mean in 1998, you get Manning and Moss guaranteed. There are some better classes but I’ll take those two and whoever else is there. You won’t really get the #2 QB of all time and the #2 WR all time in any other class (obviously the position ranks are slightly debatable but both are probably cumulatively higher than any other QB/WR duo).
This reminds me of playing madden franchise as a child with no basic understanding on team building. I would sign the best quarterbacks in free agency and then play sub them in various packages throughout the playbook.
WR would probably be the best position because you can fit more of them on the field. That being said I would probably go with the 2019 WR class just because of the sheer number of great players.
QB, from any decent draft. You get one starter, and then because QBs are so valuable in the draft you could trade the rest for good players or picks at every other position.
1985 WR's - Jerry Rice, & Andre Reed. Eric Martin was 3rd in career receiving stats in that draft class, but I'd take Al Toon as a 3rd WR. He was very good before concussions prematurely ended his career. He literally retired in the middle of the 1992 season.
2019 WRs
Damn I did not realize how stacked 2019 was at WR
Just pick 2007 or 1998 receiver instead and be better off, you can only throw one ball to one player
Patriots picked the first receiver … and it was N’Keal Harry.

You forgot Eagles and Seahawks legend JJ Arcega Whitside
Patrick Mahomes.
Hatched from a football
Yeah OP really should have specified non QB. As great as some of these other classes were, building around a great QB is always gonna be the answer.
You probably don’t build around RBs but the 2017 RBs class was insanely loaded.
If you include UDFAs, you also get Austin Ekeler
Didn't read far enough, I said the same thing.
Ok but take Samaje out - he is not notable aside from your note and this one
QB 2017, and I trade Deshaun to the Browns for a bunch of firsts
Don't forget you could have traded Mitch as well.
With the 04 class you could keep Eli, Big Ben or Rivers and trade the other two for many more picks.
Not nearly as sexy as the WRs or QBs, but 1997 OTs. Orlando Pace and Walter Jones as starters. Backed up by Tarik Glenn.
I believe you mean 1997 OT class.
2011 edge rushers
1998 or 2000 QBs. Start with Manning or Brady and figure the rest out later.

the Jamarr Chase Jaylen Waddle Devonta Smith Rashod Bateman Kadarius Toney Elijah Moore Amon-ra St. Brown offense gonna go hard
Look let's not pretend that kyle Pitts isnt a WR
Tight between the Mahomes, Watson class
This reminds me of playing madden franchise as a child with no basic understanding on team building. I would sign the best quarterbacks in free agency and then play sub them in various packages throughout the playbook.
So by this does this mean Mahomes >>>>> 2020 QB draft class + like 20 picks?
A few that stand out to me:
2014 WR has it all, and depth. You have boundary guys, slot guys, gadget guys.
1983 QB’s
I'm not sure what the best CB/DB class is, but that one.
Feels like this year might end up being up there.
WR would probably be the best position because you can fit more of them on the field. That being said I would probably go with the 2019 WR class just because of the sheer number of great players.
You sure you don't mean 2020? That was JJ, Lamb, Jeudy, Higgins, Ruggs.
2000 qb
Honestly if the Steelers had Brady they would be insufferable
To get
2012 linebackers. Luke Kuechly, Bobby Wagner, Melvin Ingram, Dont'a Hightower, Zach Brown, and Lavonte David.
Some options:
2019 Edge rushers. Brian Burns, Josh Allen, Nick Bosa, Montez Sweat.
2018 QB class, Josh Allen at QB, and I also get a running back!
Don't forget about the most elite QB in the league Mike White!
2001 QB for the two on the field at the same time
2004 QBs and trade the other two to get everyone else.
QB, from any decent draft. You get one starter, and then because QBs are so valuable in the draft you could trade the rest for good players or picks at every other position.
2017 Running Backs
1985 WR's - Jerry Rice, & Andre Reed. Eric Martin was 3rd in career receiving stats in that draft class, but I'd take Al Toon as a 3rd WR. He was very good before concussions prematurely ended his career. He literally retired in the middle of the 1992 season.
