Is 3 years too early?
Yeah probably, but that isn't going to stop me. Since the players from the 2005 draft have only 3 years in the league (and few have seen significant time every year) there is a lot less information to go off of and more time for improvement. Because of this I'll streamline down the format.
WR Braylon Edwards- 1 PB, 2692 yards, 25 TDs
OLB DeMarcus Ware- 1 AP, 2 PB, 33.5 sacks, 3 year starter
OLB Shawne Merriman- 1 AP, 3 PB. 39.5 sacks, 3 year starter
OT Jammal Brown- 1 AP, 1 PB, 3 year starter
Colts Pick: CB Marlin Jackson- 3 INTs, 173 tackles, 2 year starter
OG Logan Mankins- 1 PB, 3 year starter
MLB Lofa Tatupu- 1 AP, 3 PB, 3 year starter, 8 INTs, 6.5 sacks, 262 tackles
RET Justin Miller- 1 PB, 3 KR TD, 2938 return yards
Colts Pick: Kelvin Hayden- 3 INTs, 118 tackles, 1 year starter
HB Frank Gore- 1 PB, 4457 yards, 18 TDs
LB Kirk Morrison- 3 year starter, 289 tackles, 6 INTs, 2 sacks
CB Ellis Hobbs- 3 year starter, 6 INTs, 2 KR TD
Colts Pick: Vincent Burns- 0 games played
HB Marion Barber- 1 PB, 33 TDs, 2760 yards
HB Brandon Jacobs- 1854 yards, 22 TDs, Kenton Keithesque receiving
S Kerry Rhodes- 3 year starter, 10 INT, 8 sacks, 213 tackles
Colts Pick: Dylan Gandy- 1 year starter
RET Darren Sproles- 2 RET TD, 2536 return yards
Colts Pick: Matt Giordano- 3 INTs, 45 tackles, blazing fast
DE Trent Cole- 1 PB, 25,5 sacks, 1 INT, 2 year starter
Colts Pick: Jonathan Welsh- 6 games played
LB Michael Boley- 3 year starter, 204 tackles, 4 INTs, 6 sacks
Colts Pick: Tyjuan Hagler- 43 tackles 1 sack
TE Bo Scaife- 2 year starter, 1077 yards, 6 TDs
DB Chris Harris- 3 year starter, 168 tackles, 6 INTs
Colts Pick: Dave Rayner- 2 year starter
QB Derek Anderson- 1 PB, 4580 pass yards, 34 TDs, TD:INT>1
CB Reynaldo Hill- 2 year starter, 6 INTs, 94 tackles
Colts Pick: Anthony Davis- 0 games played
FB Madison Hedgecock- 2 year starter
RET Josh Cribbs- 1 PB, 5 RET TD, 5065 return yards
My Picks
1. Marlin Jackson, CB has been a weak spot for the D for a long time so I can't pass on him.
2. Frank Gore, a beast in San Fransisco. Just think what he could do in a real offense.
3. Kerry Rhodes, he earned a contract similar to Sanders' for a 3rd rounder that's a steal. The 8 sacks likely means his can handle box duties and keep blocks off Bob, so he can do his thing.
4. Trent Cole, big enough to be a DE or Under Tackle, with great sack production. Freeney/Cole starting with Mathis spelling would be a terror.
4. Matt Giordano, a good special teams guy who can step into a starting role decently.
5. Micheal Boley, Atlanta's star defender. Boley makes plays.
5. Tyjuan Hagler, only the second starting LB of the Dungy era to be resigned past his rookie deal.
6. Reynaldo Hill, solid late round CB to fill the other CB spot
7. Josh Cribbs, the best kickoff returner in the game and he does punts well too.

You keep Marlin because of...
INTECEPT MARLIN JACKSON! WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!

Rd 1. – Marlin Jackson
Rd. 2 – Kelvin Hayden
Rd. 3 – Marion “The Barbarian” Barber III
Rd. 4 – Darren Sproles
Rd. 5 – Matt Giordano
Rd. 6 – Michael Boley
Rd. 7 – Tyjuan Hagler
Rd. 7 – Derek Anderson
Rd. 7 – Josh Cribbs
So, let’s see here. 2 starting CBs, an awesome RB, a good RB/KR, a good safety, a pair of excellent linebackers, a Pro Bowl quality backup QB, and one of the better KRs in the NFL. Yeah, that’s an upgrade. And yes, you take Marlin Jackson over Frank Gore because of what Marik said. Who knows? Maybe Brady goes on an epic comeback and wins. Then the Pats never trade for Randy Moss. And never go 16-0. And then never go 18-1. Personally, I’d rather have the Colts win a Super Bowl and the Pats be a laughing stock.

The only thing I strongly disagree with there
is the use of an inferior Marion Barber III nickname. I love MB3 as his nickname.

inferior?
c’mon man, MB3 is the only guy in the league who could lay out Bob Sanders flat on his back. If that isn’t a barbarian, I don’t know what is.

How can you disagree with “The Barbarian”? I bet you prefer “The Eraser” to “Hitman” or “Bobzilla” for #21. The guy’s last name is Barber. He’s gotta be “The Barbarian”.

How did you know I like "The Eraser"
best?
The rhyming aspect of “Marion The Barbarian” is pretty good. I just like MB3 better.

I’m awesome, that’s how I know. And being awesome, my opinion overrides yours. He’s Marion “The Barbarian” Barber III. MB3 sounds like a ten dollar chinese knockoff beard trimmer. And Bob is Bob “Hitman” Sanders. You may also refer to him as Bobzilla, His Royal Bobness, or Chuck Norris.

That's horrible logic
You make me ashamed to be in the same fandom as you.
GTFO now.

I actually wasn’t serious. Well, not entirely. I had a good writeup on nicknames and why “The Barbarian” is better than “MB3”. As for “Hitman”, it predates “The Eraser”, therefore “The Eraser” becomes a secondary nickname.

Gotta agree with Monkey here
“The Barbarian” sounds like an NFL nickname. “MB3” sounds like a Will Smith movie.

After a lot of thought
I still like MB3 better as text on a page, but Marion the Barbarian is much better spoken.
You will never move me on Eraser v Hitman though (and Bobzilla shouldn’t even be in the arguement. -zilla implies colossal size which is the one thing Sanders lacks).

Size doesn’t matter. Hitting like a 100 foot tall mutant dinosaur with radioactive breath does. However, “The Eraser” does supercede “Bobzilla”. “Hitman” is still Bob’s primary nickname though.
Any chance we can start referring to Manning as “The Forehead”?
