Default 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.
