Cody Brown--Hurt his wrist in PS, spent the year on IR
Coye Francies--Had a Donald Washington-esque year for the Browns.
Jasper Brinkley--Starting for the Vikings
David Bruton--Played the whole year for the Broncos
Cornelius Lewis--That's a bust of a pick, no doubt
Gerald Cadogan--Not a good pick
Mike Goodson--Drafted by Carolina. Spent the year behind Stewart and Williams.
Rhett Bomar--Giants 3rd/4th string QB as a rookie. Developmental player, that's notbad.
DeAngelo-Smith. Backup safety for the Lions
Terrance Knighton--45 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a rookie for the Jags. Was actually drafted in the 3rd round, got him in the 6th.
Josh Mauga--7th round LB. Bounced back and forth on the Jets' PS
Roy Miller--yth round DT who had 27 tackles and 2 sacks as a rookie. Was actually drafted in the 3rd round.
Kenny McKinley--WR drafted in the 5th by the Broncos I got in the 7th. Saw some KR and ST action as a n00b.
Brandon Tate--6th round pick for me, 3rd in reality. It's a pick you take and put him on IR b/c of his knee injury his Sr. Year. It'll pay off down the road.
Thomas Morestead--Punter for the Saints. They took him in the 5th, I got him in the 6th for the Pats.
Cary Harris--last pick for the Pats. He was drafted by the Bills in the 6th round. Had two picks as a rookie.
Don Carey-7th round pick who actually went in the 6th. Plays for the Jags. Developmental player who spent the year on IR.
Camerron Morrah-6th round pick by me who went in the 7th. Played the whole year for the Seahawks, but didn't see much time behind John Carlson.
Bradley Fletcher--6th round player I picked who actually went in the third. Finished with 3 starts and 23 tackles as a rookie
Robert Brewster--7th rounder that I got for the next to last pick in the draft. He was drafted in the 3rd round by Dallas, and projects to be their RTOTF.
Brandon Swain--DII player I took as MR. Irrelevant. Never amounted to anything. So sue me.

So please, tell me how terrible that draft is.




2008:


Gholston--Looking like a monumental bust
Nicks--One of the best young guards in football
Cliff Avril--3rd Round pick, 10.5 sacks and 7 FF in two years
Thomas DeCoud--Starter for the Falcons. 68 Tackles, 3 picks, 2 sacks, 2 FF last year
Matt Forte--Should have been the OROY. 4th round pick
Jonathan Goff-- Took over as starting MLB for the Giants last year
Tyvon Branch--2 year starter for the Raiders. 124 tackles last year as a safety


Those were my picks in the first four Rounds of the 2008 draft. Every one hit but Gholston.

So please, tell me I don't know anything about projecting players.

Beanie Wells is a good, yet obvious pick. When you take a RB early, he better be good.

Other than that...I see NOTHING that makes me think, "wow, I'd sure love to have that player on KC!"

and 2008...

you took Vernon Gholston #1 overall.

...

Matt Forte is a dime a dozen back...

Uh...

Avril and Nicks...good picks. Congrats.

Forte had almost 2000 yards from scrimmage as a rookie
Branch would have led our team in tackles last year
Goff is a starter on a really good front seven

From 2009, Sanchez is going to be a franchise QB

Beanie Wells went to Tampa who other people didn't think needed a RB. He wasn't an obvious pick

I had no second rounders and yet got 3 players in the 6th round or later who were picked in the third, including Terrance Knighton, who was an all-rookie performer.

That's not to mention guys like Brinkley or Harris, who would be perfect fits for this defense, or Thomas Morestead, who ruined the Super Bowl for your beloved Peyton.
