Talk about a perfect marriage that almost was. The 1990 Giants, on the brink of another Super Bowl title under Bill Parcells, could have landed back-to-back All-Pros at tight end -- beginning with Mark Bavaro (1985-90) and ending with Sharpe, the NFL's all-time receptions leader for tight ends and a dead-lock cinch for Canton someday. Instead, the Giants took USC's Aaron Emanuel at No. 191 and would have to wait 12 years for an impact tight end (Jeremy Shockey).

Wow
That’s sucks. That was such a bad decision that I can’t even remember Aaron Emanuel.

I think
he was one of the best RB in high school but ran too upright to make it in the pros.

But
Among the great unknowns – would Sharpe have been a star with Dave Brown/Kent Graham/Danny Kannell throwing him the ball?
These are all the great unknowns – great players are not only great players, but they are the right players for the team, and the coaching staff.
