Re: Looking back at the 2002 Rookie Draft...
Who had the best draft?
Being as objective as possible I have to say myself: Portis is a stud, Gordon has been a starter, and so has Jolley.
Who had the worst draft?
I think the Undead screwed up with the position they were drafting out of: Harrington, Josh Reed, Tim Carter all the second picks of each round.
Who were you hoping to get (and did)?
1st Round: Portis
Who were you hoping to get (and didn’t)?
1st Round: Shockey, but that turned out alright.
2nd Round: Wells, Betts
3rd Round: Staley
Biggest sleeper?
None
Biggest reach?
Harrington at 1.2 I know he was a hot prospect, but I don't understand passing on RBs early in the draft, especially for QBs who are hit and most often misses. I know at the time the rookie salaries were very high, but for me a 2nd overall pick on a QB is a waste.
Best value?
Clinton Portis
Any other thoughts?
Would be curious as to how the new rookie scale would've affected this draft. I probably would not have gotten Portis as the first 4 picks may have been RBs. That is why this year I am wondering how the positions are drafted. This is a rather weak RB pool, as of now, but there are a boatload of great WRs. Most of which will be gone by the end of the first round.
