Great thoughts, guys! Keep'em coming.

I feel Elliott and Watson both have extremely high ceilings and their high end RPA’s are both 50% off from where they were 3 months ago. I’ve been picking up a couple here and there.

Yes, Elliott could go off the deep end and Watson has knee issues but collectors could potentially include both names in a Rushmore discussion 25 years from now.

Running back is a tough position to crack the list. On lists just of running backs, the guy with the most yards usually lands around 4 or 5.

This is a great question! I think you can look at it from a few different POVs. If you're looking at the players who may have had the greatest impact on the game and who non-collectors would appreciate, then I'd go with:

2000 Playoff Contenders Tom Brady
1982 Topps Lawrence Taylor
1957 Topps John Unitas
1958 Topps Jim Brown

If you're looking at the toughest/most desirable cards to collectors, I'd go with:

1935 National Chicle Bronko Nagurski
1965 Topps Joe Nameth
1933 Goudey Sports Kings Red Grange
1948 Leaf Chuck Bednarik

Just my personal opinion!
