Traded rights to Gary Zimmerman to Vikings for two 1986 second round picks (#44-Mark Collins) (#53-Greg Lasker) on 1986-04-29
2007 was a closer parallel to 1986: A decent #1 pick, followed by a bunch of guys who played significant roles on title-winning squads. In a way, the 2007 class was more efficient: the last eight picks in 1986 did nothing. The 2007ers all contributed, although Koets got off to a slow start and then tore up his knee just when he began to show promise.

We got Bart Oats from that league... and the rights to Zimmerman, who wanted nothing to do with the Giants, so we sent him to Minny for a couple of 2's!
8th round Jesse Armstead
I would take this draft... Man if we had these 2 right now.

Also Sean Landetta and Maurice Carthon.
Good catch!
Along with Banks and Marshall! we would only have to score 7 on offense to win 12 games.
