NFL 1st Round picks

[Gert T 0]

Well with spring break I have plenty of time to do draft research. With the NFL Draft coming up I always like looking at previous teams picks. I got the information on each teams 1st round (or 1st pick that year) for the last five years. Feel free to grade your team's draft picks.

[Gert T 0]

Cincinnati Bengals

 

2003: Carson Palmer - Well he took ZERO snaps so I guess he does not get a real grade.

 

Grade: Incomplete

 

2002: Levi Jones - Mel Kiper loved to slam Cincy for taking him too high, but it was a pretty good pick for the Bengals because they felt if they traded down they could not get him. Levi is one of the fastest tackles in the NFL, but he still needs a little more "polishing".

 

Grade: B

 

2001: Justin Smith - He had 8.5 sacks his rookie year and his totals went down each year. Part of it is due to the Bengals poor DT's forcing the smaller Smith into double teams's.

 

Grade: B-

 

2000: Peter Warrick - PDub has gotten progressively better, as a punt returner and WR. However a lot of that is due to Chad Johnson lining up opposite him. He will have a pretty big year in 2004, but you do draft for a #2 WR with the fourth overall pick.

 

Grade: C+

 

1999: Akili Smith - Why waste time, terrible OL, did not let him develop for a good amount of time, and oh yeah, one of the biggest busts in draft history. Currently out of the league.

 

Grade: F

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

Pittsbuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh STEELERS~!@!!

 

2003: Troy Polamalu, SS -- INC. Too early to tell, could go either way. Had flashes of greatness last year, though.

 

2002: Kendall Simmons, OT -- B-. Had a great rookie year, but due to diabetes in the offseason and shoulder surgery, was under strength and had a pathetic year this year. Could bounce back this year, though, and prove me wrong.

 

2001: Casey Hampton, DT -- A+. Been a Pro-Bowl stopgap for the Steelers and is one of the top 3 nose tackles in the NFL.

 

2000: Plaxico Burress, WR -- B+. When he's on, he's incredible. When he's not getting the ball, he's a whiny pissant. If he could catch the ball with his fucking hands instead of his chest, would be a superstar. Instead, is a very good player who will get good bucks in free agency next year.

 

1999: Troy Edwards, WR -- F-. Horrible.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Buffalo

 

2003: Willis MaGahee, RB: INCOMPLETE...but his time is fast approaching

 

2002: Mike Williams, OT: C...He plays up to B- standards...but he was the 4TH OVERALL PICK. I expect an actual commitment to the run, and new line coach Jim McNally to make him better

 

2001: Nate Clements, CB: B...Solid corner.

 

2000: Erik Flowers, LB: F...less said the better

 

1999: Antoine Winfield, CB: A-...Thanks for the years of service. Great Corner.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

New England

 

2003: Ty Warren, DT - He's been mainly utilised in the 4-3 packages so he saw limited playing time. Still, he's very strong and can rip through the O-line nicely. I think he'll actually become a DE and the combo of he and Richard Seymour on Ends will just be lethal. Not enough playing time though to really grade so I'll give him a N/A

 

2002: Daniel Graham, TE - Big blocking TE who reminds me alot of former Pats TE Ben Coates. He needs to work on his hands though and hopefully he's doing so by catching 500 balls from the jugs machine everyday this off-season. Runs almost perfect routes and is great at creating holes for the run. Thus far I say B-

 

2001: Richard Seymour, DT - Unless injuries take hold of him he's a future HoFer. He plays both DT and DE but I think his true strength is DE so he can utilise his quickness from the Outside. Basically he's the heart and soul of the front 7. A+

 

2000: Adrian Klemm, OT (#46 pick) - Riddled with injuries in his career thus far he's really never gotten anywhere. He'll never be anything but a decent back-up. D+

 

1999: Damien Woody, C - Couldn't shotgun snap if his life depended on it. Also often injury prone and his best days came when he moved to Guard. He's great at creating holes for the run but otherwise I've always found him to be over-rated. B-

 

Andy Katzenmoyer, LB - So much talent and promise but never enough heart or dedication. He often babied injuries and never seemed like he wanted to really play and earn his money. Well karma is a bitch and his last injury was a career ending neck type. Probably bags groceries now. F

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

well let's see

 

2003

 

Michael Haynes : B-

 

a lottery pick for an elite pass rushing end turns into an undersized nose tackle. But it's only been a year. I mean at least he's not Erik Flowers

 

Rex Grossman : B

 

he's only had limited time, but he looked good. Really this should be an incomplete.

 

2002

 

Marc Colombo: INC

 

a tackle who's yet to play thanks to knee injuries. When they cut him in 2005, feel free to change this to "F"

 

2001

 

David Terrell : C-

 

yet another brain dead turd from that fine institution of learning, Michigan University. Still has talent, but he'll never do anything. He's still on the team and still in the league, so I guess I can't give him an F yet.

 

2000

 

Brian Urlacher : A+

 

had a down year last year, but still one of the few things that keep the Bears a real NFL team. A real bad one, but whatever.

 

1999

 

Cade McNown: F

 

I think you know how this turned out. And let me remind you that 98 brought us Curtis Enis.

[LaParkaMarka 0]

1999

 

Cade McNown: F

 

I think you know how this turned out. And let me remind you that 98 brought us Curtis Enis.

Peter King thought the guy was going to be the best QB to come out of that draft. How funny is that?

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Peter King also thought Jake Plummer would be MVP.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

In Mike Shannahan's system Jake Plummer could actually be a future MVP

[LaParkaMarka 0]

Peter King also thought Jake Plummer would be MVP.

In conclusion, Peter King sucks.

 

Vaguely on topic: Wow, the Ravens have drafted pretty well, with the possible exception of Kyle Boller.

[the pinjockey 0]

Philadelphia

 

2003: Jerome McDougle, DE

 

Grade: Inc.

He was hurt most of last year, plus having ND Kalu and Brandon Whiting on the other side of you isn't going to help at all. Big expectations this year with Kearse on the other side.

 

2002: Lito Sheppard, CB

Grade: C-

Showed last year he has the ability to play as a starting CB. Now whether he can be a good one is a different question. But too many questions still flying around considering he was a 1st round pick.

 

2001: Freddie Mitchell, WR

Grade: D

He was the Eagles best WR last year, but that was through process of elimination only. With the other WRs who were taken in that draft, along with 2 abysmal years before his 1 breakout decent year this pick isn't anything to write home about.

 

2000: Corey Simon, DT

Grade: A-

Not the dominant force that you want out of a top 10 pick, but if he is healthy he is a perennial pro-bowler. Nothing to complain about there.

 

1999: Donovan McNabb, QB

Grade: A-

This is the year McNabb proves whether he is an elite QB or just an elite playmaker. If his accuracy gets honed this year the grade becomes an A+, because he will be a top 5 player.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Baltimore

 

2003:

Terrell Suggs B+ : Defensive ROY even though he wasn't a starter for a good portion of the year. He will be an even bigger force as a full time starter.

 

Kyle Boller C : He didn't do as well as everyone had hoped, but at the beginning of the year he was the best option at QB the Ravens had. Everyone was probably expecting too much out of a rookie starting in the NFL but the experience he got was good. The main problem isn't as much him as it is the lack of talented recievers who don't drop 70% of the passes thrown their way.

 

2002:

Ed Reed B : One of the best punt blockers in the league and he's become a key part of the passing defense with his 12 ints in 2 years.

 

2001:

Todd Heap A : One of the best TE's in the game and the only legit recieving threat the Ravens have.

 

2000:

Jamal Lewis B+ : I'd give him an A, but between the injuries and the whole drug thing that has to take him down to a B+. If he plays hes one of the top 5 backs in the league and with the Offensive Line the Ravens have he could rush for 2,000 yards again as long as he's healthy.

 

1999:

Chris McAlister A : Turned into a real shutdown CB that stopped some of the best WRs in the league last year. Key factor in the Ravens having one of the best passing defenses in the league.

 

The Ravens have had some of the most sucessful first round drafts over the last few years, so its a shame they don't have a first round pick this year.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

No Bears pick compares to Rashan Salaam, though. I mean, c'mon.

[sfaJack 0]

Dallas

 

2003: Terence Newman, CB

2002: Roy Williams, S

2001: Quincy Carter, QB (#52 pick)

2000: Dwayne Goodrich, CB (#49 pick)

1999: Ebenezer Ekuban, DE

2003: Terence Newman, CB - Solid rookie year; surprisingly, teams didn't really throw at him as much as I thought they might. Had a HORRIBLE game in the playoffs against the Panthhers, but should be a solid contributor for several years.

 

2002: Roy Williams, S - A bad ass, and huge for a safety. Roy is awesome, though I'd think about putting 15 pounds on him and turning him into a blitzing linebacker. No QB in the league would ever feel safe.

 

2001: Quincy Carter, QB (#52 pick) - A bust as a second round pick; should have been a fourth or fifth rounder. He is what he was this last year: decent, but is more likely to lose a game for you than win it. I'd be shocked if they ever make it to a Super Bowl with him.

 

2000: Dwayne Goodrich, CB (#49 pick) - What the fuck were Jerry Jones and Larry Lacewell smoking when they thought THIS was a good pick?

 

1999: Ebenezer Ekuban, DE - Mediocre player. He just doesn't make enough plays to be considered as anything but a bust as a #1 pick.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Wow, Baltimore's draft history is really impressive.

 

I guess I should do one for Pittsburgh, but I really don't care. I think I'll leave it for Tyler...

[Guest webmasterofwrestlegame]

I'm a 49ers fan but I think Baltimore has the best record, but the 49ers picks are pretty good too.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Pittsburgh

 

2003: Troy Polamalu, SS

-Troy wasn't necessarily a BAD choice, but he was clearly NOT what they needed. I think the Steelers D will benefit in the long run with him though

 

Grade:C+

 

2002: Kendall Simmons, OT

-Kendall had all the promise in the world and at the pick they had he was the best choice. Since then he has had some health problems though that have held him back. He has yet to reach his potential.

 

Grade: C

 

2001: Casey Hampton, DT

-Make no mistake about it, he's the best D Tackle in football. The big mess in the middle is perfect for the Steelers 3-4 defense

 

Grade: A+

 

2000: Plaxico Burress, WR

-Plex hasn't fully lived up to his potential, and has gotten better since his rookie season. He probably will not be resigned next year and they could have made a better pick than him in the draft in 2000.

 

Grade:B-

 

1999: Troy Edwards, WR

-One of the worst picks the Steelers have made in years. He was a total waste of a pick in 1999, and made his name of the great game he had his senior year against Nebraska. Lot of talk, not enough walk.

 

Grade:F

[nl5xsk1 0]

New England

 

2003: Ty Warren, DT

2002: Daniel Graham, TE

2001: Richard Seymour, DT

2000: Adrian Klemm, OT (#46 pick)

1999: Damien Woody, C Andy Katzenmoyer, LB

 

I'd probably be willing to give Warren a B or B-. In his limited playing time, he's done well, so this year should be the time to watch his stock boom or bust.

 

Grahame (which FrigidSoul gave a B- to) can't catch the ball well enough to be a #1 pick. Like FS said, though, he's allegedly been practicing pretty hardcore about it and might be improved enough to earn that high of a grade. Until I see him make quality catches throughout the year, though, he's a C/C-.

 

Seymour is an A+, without question. If there was a ranking higher than that, I'd give him that.

 

Klemm is an F. I have no faith in him when he's in, and to call him even a decent backup is being too kind.

 

Woody, as a center, is a C/C-. The idea that they'd waste a #1 on a guy who can't snap in a shotgun is a joke. As a guard, though, I'd give Woody a B/B-. The Pats'll miss him this year. And the big retard Katzenmoyer gets another big F.

 

It's funny, the players picked in rounds 2 and below have been better for New England than the #1s, with the obvoius exception of Richard Seymour. Good scouting, I guess.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Minnesota

 

2003: Kevin Williams, DT

2002: Bryant McKinnie, OT

2001: Michael Bennett, RB

2000: Chris Hovan, DT

1999: Daunte Culpepper, QB Dimitrius Underwood, DT

Williams established himself has the Vikings best Defensive linemen by seasons end. Good quickness, and size. Should only get better.

 

A-

 

McKinnie only played 8 games is rookie season. A solid and reliable LT, he's improving, but hopefully he can become the linemen the Vikings expect him to be.

 

B

 

Bennett's break out year was 2002. Running for over 1,200 yards behind a below average OL. 2003 Bennett was injured, and when he returned shared time with Williams and Smith. He receives an A-, for his play on the field but also because he might warrant a 1st round draft pick if he's traded.

 

B+

 

Hovan is the most overrated player in the NFL. He wasn't horrible in 2002. Probably a B. 2003 he stunk, he got too big, and seemed more concerned about Brett Favre. Overall not a horrible, player but the way he's treated here is just too over the top.

 

C+

 

Culpepper's had his ups and downs. When he's been on, he's been excellent when he hasn't it's been ugly. Despite being an established QB, you still worry about Culpepper fumbling or making a stupid mistake. I think the grade improves with more playing time and experience.

 

B

 

BONUS PICK

[CanadianChris 0]

Denver

 

2003: George Foster, OT

2002: Ashley Lelie, WR

2001: Willie Middlebrooks, CB

2000: Deltha O'Neal, CB

1999: Al Wilson, LB

 

Foster appeared in only one game last season.

Grade: Inc

Lelie has shown flashes of brilliance, but has been inconsistent. With Ed McCaffrey retiring, the Broncos should find out exactly what they have this season.

Grade: B

Middlebrooks has been an unspectacular nickel back who's never started a game in his career. Broncos look ready to give up on him.

Grade: D-

O'Neal appeared to be a good pick, but has proven susceptible to opponents busting big plays against him. In Mike Shanahan's doghouse.

Grade: C-

Wilson has been a solid linebacker for the Broncos, recording 100 tackles and 5 sacks 2 seasons ago.

Grade: B+

[Guest Vitamin X]

Green Bay

 

2003: Nick Barnett, LB

2002: Javon Walker, WR

2001: Jamal Reynolds, DE

2000: Bubba Franks, TE

1999: Antwan Edwards, DB

2003: Nick Barnett, LB

 

A- I think this kid has a hell of a lot of potential.. A bit undersized, but he is a fuckin playmaker. I hope the Pack's new DC can work him in a new system, since he was taken originally to be behind a mammoth offensive line which is no longer there. If he keeps improving, he'll be good to go.

 

2002: Javon Walker, WR

 

B- I disagree with him having been such a high choice, and I still think this pick is courtesy of the Pack taking Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers (A Wisconsin native no less) and them kicking themselves for it. They didn't want to repeat the same mistake with Walker, and he's a clutch guy but drops too many easy passes.

 

2001: Jamal Reynolds, DE

 

F- This guy sucks. Even in limited action, he can't do shit. I was hoping to see a KGB clone here, but Jamal doesn't have the moves or strength to play in the NFL. Peace out, brotha.

 

2000: Bubba Franks, TE

 

A Unfortunately, as good as Franks is (perennial Pro Bowler, is he not?), and as he was predicted to be, I was saddened by this since it signaled the end of the Mark Chmura era in Green Bay, when the whole sex scandal happened. Yeah, Bubba was a good pick and he's developed into a great player, but it sucks that with such a high pick, it had to be wasted on filling a void left by some bullshit rape scandal instead of upgrading their secondary or defensive line like they could have.

 

1999 Antwan Edwards, DB

 

D- Ironically, this was the infamous year the Packers went nuts after Randy Moss ripped us up on Monday Night Football his rookie year and the Pack realized the big hole left there by LeRoy Butler and Darren Sharper still hadn't developed into the playmaker he is today. And also before the Pack realized that Tyrone Williams sucks a fat dick, so it was Edwards, then Fred Vinson (who was traded for Ahman Green from Seattle....HA!!!), then Mike McKenzie. Overall, the Pack got big value from their draft in McKenzie and Green, but Edwards is and always will be a bust. I can't believe they would even think of starting him over Marques Anderson.

 

 

So their overall GPA comes out to a 2.4 Edwards and Reynolds really brought what has been a pretty decent past 5 years down.

 

Remember folks, no team has has a better record than the Green Bay Packers since 1992, and no team has won more NFL Championships, and of all the big-name teams of the 90's, they are the only team to not have had to go through a "rebuilding phase" ala the 49ers or Cowboys or the very Broncos who defeated them in the Super Bowl.

 

[Bored 0]

49ers

 

2003: Kwame Harris, T. Was a back-up most of last year and will get his chance to start this season. Good run blocker but needs to improve on pass blocking. Really almost everyone from 2003 so far should be considered an Incomplete.

 

2002: Mike Rumph, CB. Just terrible as a nickleback in his rookie season. Last year got to start due to Jason Webster being hurt and did much better. C

 

2001: Andre Carter, DE. Okay rookie season, excellent second year, and kinda fell back last year. B

 

2000: Julian Peterson, LB. Do I really need to go into him? Arguably the best all-around outside linebacker in the game. A

 

Ahmed Plummer, CB. Probably not worth what he signed for but he's good enough. Really an excellent first round for the 49ers in 2000. B

 

1999: Reggie McGrew, DT. Who? 100% complete bust to cap a decade full of first round 49er busts. F

[Gert T 0]

Yeah Baltimore has been amazing, and of course you can add Ray Lewis & Johnathan Ogden to the list. I saw on a Sportscenter back in December that of Baltimore's 8 Pro Bowler's last year, 7 were 1st round picks.

 

Nice work Ozzie & personnel dept.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

NY Giants

 

2003: William Joseph, DT

2002: Jeremy Shockey, TE

2001: Will Allen, CB

2000: Ron Dayne, RB

1999: Luke Petitgout, OT

 

Joseph didn't play very much last year, but should be a starter this year. (INC)

Shockey is obviously the best of the lot. (B+)

Allen is a solid corner. (B)

Ron Dayne is a waste. (D-)

I'm not a big Petitgout fan, but lots of people are high on him. (

1999: Patrick Kearney, DE

 

Damn good draft history, even though I think that Duckett is bound to be Ron Dayne II : The sequel.

 

Bryan Scott, when he finally did get on the field last year(I was screaming to start the guy the whole year) he played VERY well. I think at his size and intellegence, he is gong to be a great corner or safter in the league. B+

 

T.J. Duckett, Great short yardage back, but is a fucking idiot when it comes to reading how to run...he can't pick a hole for shit. Hopefully he will get better, but he is still half the back that Warrick Dunn is for this team and I honestly would take Justin Griffith at number 2, but he has the potential to be a good pick. C+

 

Michael Vick- Come on... A+

 

Travis Claridge- Great offensive lineman...I really don't have anything else on that. A

 

Patrick Kerney- Only knock is he has gotten injured the past 2 years. When healthy, he is a beast. B+
